BLACKFOX English Sub & Dub

About BLACKFOX

If you are hunting for a new action series, BLACKFOX deserves a look (2019). The setup goes like this. The setup: Living in a ninja residence tucked away in a corner of a futuristic metropolis is Rikka, the eldest daughter of a Ninja clan, who looks up to her father—a researcher—very much. Carrying on with her life normally, Rikka's home came suddenly under attack one day.

Beyond that: Driven into a corner, what would she do to overcome this crisis? Rip darkness to pieces and become "BLACK"!

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Ayaka Nanase as Rikka Isurugi and Haruka Tomatsu as Mia. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 1 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Studio 3Hz, so the studio's house style defines how BLACKFOX looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.4/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Ayaka Nanase voicing Rikka Isurugi gives the lead role a recognizable voice. It aired in 2019, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
