All I have to do is say “ninja anime” and the first thing that most people will think of is “Naruto”, right?
In a world now dominated by a single crappy anime/manga series about a ninja donning an orange jumpsuit, there is one newer ninja anime that shines above the rest.
After Naruto, ninja anime/manga really, REALLY did not appeal to me anymore; it had left a bad taste in my mouth, and I wanted to avoid it at all costs. Then came along Nabari no Ou – and I must admit, while I was very reluctant to check it out at first, I’m glad I forced myself into it.
Enter modern Japan: You have guns, technology, computers, and psycho business men trying to take over the world as usual. Ninjas are the stuff of myth these days, but little do the humans of today know that ninjas still exist, in their world known as “Nabari”. Rokujo Miharu, the “Master of Apathy” as he is known, is being targeted by the “Kairoushuu” clan because he holds in his body the equivalent of a nine-tailed fox – The Hijutsu, Shinrabanshou or whatever, I’m not really sure which is which.
