The hyper-stylized, surreal cyberpunk action series Ninja Slayer From Animation has landed on Hulu, complete with English dub and subtitle options. Produced by Studio Trigger, known for their work on Kill la Kill and Promare, the series plunges viewers into a future dominated by cybernetics where resurrected ancient ninja wage a brutal war.
Adapted from the popular Japanese cyberpunk novels, the anime follows Kenji Fujikido, a salaryman who becomes the vengeful Ninja Slayer after his family is killed in a ninja gang war. The show is celebrated for its unique visual style, blending Trigger's signature kinetic animation with a deliberately retro aesthetic, and its over-the-top, satirical take on ninja tropes. Its blend of intense action, meta-commentary, and absurdist humor makes it a distinctive watch.
With all 26 episodes now available, Ninja Slayer From Animation offers a complete, albeit chaotic, binge. The series leans heavily into its parody of ninja lore and cyberpunk clichés, delivering a relentless barrage of stylized violence and dark comedy that fans of Trigger's maximalist approach will likely appreciate.
