There's something about old, 80s / 90s animation that I'll always prefer over the cleaner look of modern animation. It's this sweet spot between the really old stuff and the too sleek new age.
Part of the reason I paid $223.40 for the - DiC for seasons 1 & 2, Cloverway for seasons 3 & 4 - dubs of Sailor Moon. Also, 39:18 is wrong; Melodrama is neither comedy nor tragedy, but combines some elements of each into its own unique form.
I've been a fan of Ninja Gaiden and the Dead or Alive games for years but didn't even know this OVA was a thing until right now. I love how unrepentantly 80s it is in all of its cheesy action glory.
That was actually pretty good. Being a huge fan of Ninja Gaiden, I had heard it wasn't that good but I was surprised. I knew of this anime for years but I didn't know it was on UA-cam until just now. Thanks for sharing!
RyuHayabusa06 I really dig it as a fan of the games and 80s OVAs. It's awesome they brought back Robert after not returning in NG2's ending, and the rest of the cast is really likable. The only thing that irks me is Irene, who they changed too much. She just feels like some random girl who had no involvement in the games- generic girlfriend and far from ex CIA. Wish they made more
@@TheT3rr0rMask exactly, I'm not into feminism bs but she's such a damsel in distress here. I mean, she's an Ex-CIA, man... Doesn't make any sense for her to act like this.
Yeah man I absolutely love this anime. I can’t fathom why someone would say it’s not that good, it’s awesome. Sure it takes some liberties with the games story and whatnot but as a whole I think it’s excellent
They should make a new Ninja Gaiden anime. So far, this was the ONLY film ever given to the franchise. There's so much more they can explore with Ninja Gaiden. It has a great storyline, memorable characters, and lots of solid material to work with. I can easily see more Ninja Gaiden movies being made. Hell, they could even do a TV show.
The only disadvantage of this OVA that I see is that there's no music theme from the original NES games. Outside of it, really stunning anime... The quality of the traces and animation is great. The story is a detective story with some science fiction ingredients, embedded in mystery and lightened by action... And it's well told!
Man that was really solid minus making Irene just kinda helpless and there to get saved. But that kinda comes with the territory when you’re watching Anime from this far back. Really liked the side characters too as cliche as it was. The 80s/90s aesthetics were lovely too.
absolutely brilliant.... brings memorys of ultra violent anime classics back to me, days of guyver, akira, ninja scroll, genocyber, wicked city, cyber city oeda etc 80-90s classics :)
@Shin Shaman IT DOES LOOK LIKE AN 80S ANIME! I mean look at the neo noir scenery, and especially how they kinda pull off a little more Golgo 13 style action scenes! It REALLY does look and sounds more like an 80s anime despite this Ninja Gaiden OVA released in 1991.
For someone like me who grew up with all 3 classic Ninja gaiden NES games This is always such awesome movie to rewatch, this is like the 10th time i watch this underrated film Really love it's classic animation manga style & love this version of Ryu I will be recording today a homage series dedicated to Ryu hayabusa Roleplay in Dark Souls remastered a Ninja katana build in my gaming channel I'll try to make look like this
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that, with a little more jutsu and eventual progression to the current story and look but keeping the same art style, characters and music, this would make a kick ass series that could beat back most of the anime today?
7:53 this frame is pure cinema. You won't at all get something like that in today's anime. That Hi! from glasses girl to Jeff for a split second is very cute and realistic
Pretty good. Glad they brought back Robert. You'd think they'd mention something about Irene being former CIA though. Most CIA agents wouldn't be that freaked out over shooting something.
Fun to think that when I was kid, I use to entertain the thought of Ninja Gaidens Ryu and Street Fighters character being one in the same...Imagine that😂
I didn't know that they made anime Ninga Gaiden 🎥 Yes I heard of Ninga Scroll and Streetfighter also Fists of fury! Ninga Gaiden 3 on the nes is still my absolute favorite game to play! The graphics sound and game play is absolutely amazing!
does anybody know if this ever got a dvd or blu ray release? I have been trying to find this OVA in a physical format and had no luck not even on an old VHS tape so any info would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance! XD

true true true 80s 90s anime graphic detail so aesthetic
I agree yo
That pencil is crazy the new shit just looks like hentai for the creeps
It definitely beats the pants off the shitty CGI bobbleheads you see in Netflix anime.
agreed. It's sorta the same with 16 bit graphics. It still to this day has an aesthetic appeal, as seen in indie gaming.
No matter how many new anime i watch... I always have to come back to classics to feel content
Watching old animes is a medecine for the soul ♥

Good old time anime from the late 80s or early 90s. Love the dark, lurid, neonoir look.
miss these old style anime....
I don't.
well your a piece of shit. so there's that
God forbid I have preferences.
@@blitzofuckzo why are u here then
We all do.
Watching this kind of art style made my eyes teary... Feels so nostalgic. 80s - 90s are the best ever
I've been a fan of Ninja Gaiden and the Dead or Alive games for years but didn't even know this OVA was a thing until right now. I love how unrepentantly 80s it is in all of its cheesy action glory.
Of all the damn costumes TECMO made for DOA... I am surprised Ryu's anime gaiden costume was not one of them.
@@jaydavis5598It looks fuckin badass too...I hope they give us that in the next game
I'm wondering when he's going to slash a lantern and collect a power-up.
Habe you seen a lantern please?
😂😂😂
Lmao gah I miss nintendo
Or jump into a falcon and fall down a pit
Only in video games !
Rip Daisuke Goro -- He voice acts as Jeffrey Hammond in this. I knew the voice seemed familiar from Fist of the North Star.
Wow, I didn't realize that!

BLAQ JOKER yaa these 80s and 90s cartoon always give nostalgia 😍
@@ben10alienforceism It wasn't just 80s and 90s anime were give nostalgia, but early 2000s too.
@@AndikaThe2000 yaa true the old anime’s had better story when compared to the new ones

Thanks for the upload. I never saw this before and love 80s/90s anime as well as the Ninja Gaiden games new and old :D

Hahah I love that they’re at the bar drinking brown liquor & then immediately driving all over town.
I truly love this classic movie.. always been great fan of NINJA GAIDEN, Ryu hayabusa is 1 of the greatest ninja master
Hai! 🥷🏻

Demon city and wrath of the ninja
the soundtrack when they ride in with the bike is perfection.
That was actually a really good movie. Sucks that it was so short, but it was a nice little gem. Love the early 90s animation.
Reminds me of Baoh. Both short but animated well
Nothing beats early 90's anime, nothing.
90's rave
Looks more like 80s Style to me. Still pretty awesome!

Man that was Badass. Thanks dude
Ooohhh, I had no idea it was the CC that was doing that, thank you very much!
29:37 I don’t know what genre music it is but you know you have a 80s/early 90s anime when this type of music starts playing.
🔥🔥🔥
80’s - early 2,000’s that’s where the best anime was made.
I could Imagine watching this anime from our vintage tv set...😭
For someone like me who grew up with all 3 classic Ninja gaiden NES games
This is always such awesome movie to rewatch, this is like the 10th time i watch this underrated film
Really love it's classic animation manga style & love this version of Ryu
I will be recording today a homage series dedicated to Ryu hayabusa Roleplay in Dark Souls remastered
a Ninja katana build in my gaming channel
I'll try to make look like this
Love the old 80s film and this was a sequel. To the first game or 3rd game but very well done love the 80s
I find it awesome that Jeff and Robert are voiced by Cell and Mr. Satan.
Damn that's extra cool~!
Good old 80s 90s anime is the best
Oh snap, ive been curious to see this for a while now
Incredible film and man some great action! I WANT MORE NINJA GAIDEN!
Awesome. Love this old-school stuff.
29:35 is the best part. Love the music and the animation in the fight sequence.
Never knew they made a anime series out of the game. It was kinda cool, considering it's age.
The cartoons were long before the games
Darius Foster many games were long before the cartoons*
No
And many games actually got their start in the Arcades, not on the NES, like many people neglect to remember.
Willa bema Agreed
You can’t ever trust anyone named “Bucky-Wise”.
Further into this movie Iam so AMAZED. This anime already got a special place in my heart~!
I never knew about that anime, after I played all NG Sigma games I wondered if there any anime or anything, boy searching was definitely worth it ❤
Well damn, I've totally forgotten this even existed.
Whole anime was completely wiped out of my mind.
The golden age of anime I love it like this. Ninja scroll. Akira this are my 2 favorite
Ah, so this OVA explains why enemies are appearing non-stop from BS locations. XD
Stereo sound... AWESOME
Whoah! Quality is pretty damn good.
Jeff and Robert's entrance into that building 💯💣💥😎👍👍👍👍👍👍
Omg that's awesome !
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that, with a little more jutsu and eventual progression to the current story and look but keeping the same art style, characters and music, this would make a kick ass series that could beat back most of the anime today?
敵の本拠地に乗り込んでからの展開には結構勿体無い部分もあるが、そこに至るまでの話の流れと軽妙な掛け合いが面白い
何より聞こえてくる声が揃いも揃って凄い
Never knew of this before.
Looks good.
19:14 Anyone can see that the kitten is the real mastermind.
At the end of the movie, i just lighted a cigarette, nostalgia is as good as sex.
I miss this....I truly do...
I never knew ninja gaiden had an animated movie, nice.
Yeah, same here.

i cant believe i actually managed to find this on youtube, this ova is damn near impossible to find normally, well for me anyways
Anime just the way I like it 😤🔥💎✨
Reminds me of Saturday mornings on _Sci-Fi channel_ *back in the day.*
Thanks!!!
Your welcome ! Comment by Erick Guzman Garcia I don't know for what but you are most certainly welcome. 🍑✌️😇
deep down inside, you know you care.
best ive seen so far Ninja Gaiden ROCKS
You deserve a super like
i havent watched this bc i didnt know it was on yt but i recognize so many sound effects from ninja gaiden black thats awesome
OK, now THAT was how anime should be done.
20:54 damn that was clean as fuck
How cute. It deserved a season❤
the screams the cuts. the sound effects are top notch
awesome, i miss 80s animation style.
I do to
An True Classic my friends. Really. Thanks.
Cartoon from my childhood.. long long time ago :)
Do you know if this was late 80's or early 90's? Yeah the style of the anime I saw in the mid to late 80's when I was a kid. I was born in 1980.
it released on 1991, i think this is only one version of anime from ninja gaiden. ( sry for my english )
***** uhh not kissin ass here, but nothing is wrong with ur English. U should see the way black people speak. (Its OK y'all. I'm black too)
The thumbnail made me think it was battle ready anime style pickle Rick for a second.
I miss the arcade game where the joystick had the "jump to hold on" button. So initiative at that time.
I got this on vhs somewhere in my storage. I like the Louie Armstrong homage in here too.
9:20 Brilliant!
Thanks for Russian subs
44:35 best scene in the movie
So this is where the second outfit comes from on NG1 after you finish the game.
nice and nostalgic ^^
bloody marvelous
I didn't know Ninja Gaiden had an anime adaptation.
It's awesome though.
34:22 .... hands down, best part of the entire movie. Repeat 34:22 to 34:30 for the ultimate ass owning experience.
Fun to think that when I was kid, I use to entertain the thought of Ninja Gaidens Ryu and Street Fighters character being one in the same...Imagine that😂
i liked it, thnx
Errrh... I'm not sure how to comment on that.
This is one of the best quality movies I've seen in YT in a while and your point was...
The art style is so sick
Scientist turns himself into an ultra-mutant monster... to have a sword fight? Just...
It doesn't need to make sense. Just revel in the badassery.
....and still lose
Japan bro
I hope they decide to make a full ninja gaiden anime series or some dead or alive series too.
I didn't know that they made anime Ninga Gaiden 🎥 Yes I heard of Ninga Scroll and Streetfighter also Fists of fury! Ninga Gaiden 3 on the nes is still my absolute favorite game to play! The graphics sound and game play is absolutely amazing!
loved this game on the first Xbox. never knew it was movies.
Boomstick: And he did all that just to get himself laid
Nelo Angello 😂😂😂😂
Why isn’t Irene a short haired redhead secret agent?? 🧑🏻🦰
Love the Games, and Love this Movie Even if its Old as hell still great Movie and Worth Watching!!! :D
does anybody know if this ever got a dvd or blu ray release? I have been trying to find this OVA in a physical format and had no luck not even on an old VHS tape so any info would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance! XD
Shame this anime/ova was never continued. Very good!
I agree. It was a missed opportunity. Especially given the franchise's acclaim.
難波圭一さん、ですね！やっぱり烈風隊門田の声が耳に残りますね
Here's the thing.... This movie could've been named anything. Shinobi could've been a good name for it too. My opinion.
Holy crap that was badass ultraviolence
This inspired my in my path to become a ninja.
Awesome
