About SASUKE

Here is what SASUKE (サスケ) is about, retold in plain terms: an action anime (1968). At its core: Sasuke is the son of a very skilled ninja, whose name is Ozaru. After the defeat of their lord, Yukimura Sanada, Tokugawa's and Hattori's ninjas begin to persecute all their foes still alive: that means Ozaru and Sasuke needs to leave their house and start a violent struggle for their own life.

More of the story: Danger, vengeance, anger, loyalty, pain are the basic elements of this story, where the worst aspects of the human soul are described together with the growth of the main character, the young Sasuke.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Narrator (Hisashi Katsuta) and Sasuke (Kenbo Kaminarimon) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 29 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
