Every anime season brings a multitude of new shows to anime fans’ screens. While some of these new shows fail to make an impact, others quickly gain a massive audience and critical praise. Ninja Kamui, Adult Swim’s new anime, falls into the latter category. Thanks to its unique storyline, gorgeous animation, and excellent characters, it is quickly cementing itself as one of the season’s most popular new anime, with many fans already declaring it one of 2024’s best new anime franchises, which is no small feat when it is up against heavy hitters like Solo Leveling, Delicious in Dungeon, and 7th Time Loop. But what is Ninja Kamui, and why is it the best new anime of the season?Directed by Jujutsu Kaisen and The God of High School director Sunghoo Park and produced by E&H Production and Sola Entertainment, Ninja Kamui follows Joe Higan. Higan used to be a ninja, but he went into hiding after escaping his clan, opting to live in rural America under the name Joe Logan. Alas, this plan doesn’t work forever. One night, a group of assassins from Joe’s old clan break into his house and ambush him. These assassins quickly do their job, killing Joe and his family before vanishing into the night. However, several days later, Joe comes back to life in the morgue. Unsure how he survived, Joe embarks on a mission to kill every last member of his old clan. As he undertakes this quest, Mike Moriss and Emma Samanda, two F.B.I. agents, begin investigating a series of murders, quickly getting tangled in something bigger than they could have ever dreamed.Ninja Kamui’s plot is supported by its fantastic cast, as all the characters are well-realized and feel deeply human. While viewers don’t get to see Joe with his family for very long, the early scenes do a fantastic job of capturing the feeling of a happy family who, despite their struggles, love each other deeply without becoming overly saccharin. This makes the scene when the assassins arrive one of the most effective emotional gut punches in recent anime history, even if the viewer already knows the story. This is a massive achievement, considering it happens ten minutes into the first episode.
