Ninja Gaiden English Sub & Dub

About Ninja Gaiden

Ninja Gaiden (Ninja Ryuukenden) arrives as an action anime by Studio Junio (1991), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: By day, Ryu Hayabusa is the owner of a simple shop selling Japanese antiques. By night, he defends New York Metropolis as the Dragon Ninja.

Soon after, when the respected Dr. Ned Friedman announces that he has developed a perfect cure for cancer in an extremely bizarre press conference, Ryu knows that something is very wrong. Along with his trusted associates who work for a small newspaper, Ryu sets out to uncover the dark hidden truths behind Dr.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Studio Junio, which means the visual identity of Ninja Gaiden follows that studio's craft. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.8/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 1991, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
