Back in the good old days of the NES, Ninja Gaiden was one of the most respected names in ninja action. Unlike its slower and more methodical ninja contemporaries like Sega’s Shinobi and Irem’s Ninja Spirit, Tecmo’s Ninja Gaiden series was fast, angry, and difficult. As Ryu Hayabusa, players were tasked with racing through countless levels packed to the max with every gun-toting bad guy and demonic force imaginable. Ninja Gaiden demanded perfect execution in combat, platforming, and item usage. Ninja Gaiden quickly became infamous for its relentless difficulty, but its vibrant graphics and outstanding music kept fans coming back for more punishment. Ninja Gaiden was the perfect mix of arcade-style twitch reflexes and cinematic story. With animated, full-color cutscenes, playing the Ninja Gaiden games was almost like watching an anime. It makes perfect sense that, in 1991, Tecmo decided to pull Ryu Hayabusa out of the NES and directly into his own anime OVA.Ninja Ryukenden, or “Ninja Ryu: The Dragon Sword Story,” is Ninja Gaiden’s only anime adaptation. Directed by Mamoru Kanbe and produced by Studio Junio, Ninja Ryukenden took every element that defined the blistering NES action series and brought it to fluid life. The original Ninja Gaiden game was released in 1988 for arcades and saw an NES port later that year. While the arcade game was a slower-paced auto-scroller, it was the NES title that truly brought the series into its own. 1990’s Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos and 1991’s Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom continued the action and themes introduced in the first title. A fusion of high-tech science fiction and demonic mysticism, the Ninja Gaiden series took pride in its anime-quality cinematics and scripts. Ninja Ryukenden was the perfect continuation of this direction, giving fans a pitch-perfect Ninja Gaiden experience.The plot and flow of the Ninja Gaiden anime is one-to-one Ninja Gaiden through and through. If viewers were to imagine every major scene and plot beat as playable levels, the anime would feel right at home on the NES. Ryu becomes involved in a conspiracy involving biotechnology and demonic forces. Irene, his trusted ally, and friend from the games, is a major player in the anime, as well. The pacing, settings, and climax all bear the classic Ninja Gaiden spirit. By combining elements of mystery, science fiction, horror, and plenty of action, Ninja Ryukenden checks all the boxes for a solid Ninja Gaiden experience. It also helps that the directing, writing, and cinematography are all excellent, too, making the anime definitely worth fans’ time.
