There's something about old, 80s / 90s animation that I'll always prefer over the cleaner look of modern animation. It's this sweet spot between the really old stuff and the too sleek new age.
Part of the reason I paid $223.40 for the - DiC for seasons 1 & 2, Cloverway for seasons 3 & 4 - dubs of Sailor Moon. Also, 39:18 is wrong; Melodrama is neither comedy nor tragedy, but combines some elements of each into its own unique form.
I've been a fan of Ninja Gaiden and the Dead or Alive games for years but didn't even know this OVA was a thing until right now. I love how unrepentantly 80s it is in all of its cheesy action glory.
That was actually pretty good. Being a huge fan of Ninja Gaiden, I had heard it wasn't that good but I was surprised. I knew of this anime for years but I didn't know it was on TH-cam until just now. Thanks for sharing!
RyuHayabusa06 I really dig it as a fan of the games and 80s OVAs. It's awesome they brought back Robert after not returning in NG2's ending, and the rest of the cast is really likable. The only thing that irks me is Irene, who they changed too much. She just feels like some random girl who had no involvement in the games- generic girlfriend and far from ex CIA. Wish they made more
@@TheT3rr0rMask exactly, I'm not into feminism bs but she's such a damsel in distress here. I mean, she's an Ex-CIA, man... Doesn't make any sense for her to act like this.
Yeah man I absolutely love this anime. I can’t fathom why someone would say it’s not that good, it’s awesome. Sure it takes some liberties with the games story and whatnot but as a whole I think it’s excellent
@@arkanjoteixeira I could understand them making Irene into a damsel in distress for the sake of moving the story forward, but they didn't even do that. Ryu didn't even know she was kidnapped until the last minute, and Robert had already expressed his conviction to help Ryu earlier in the film. Neither of them needed Irene to be kidnapped to motivate them to do what they did. She was kidnapped for literally no reason.
absolutely brilliant.... brings memorys of ultra violent anime classics back to me, days of guyver, akira, ninja scroll, genocyber, wicked city, cyber city oeda etc 80-90s classics :)
They should make a new Ninja Gaiden anime. So far, this was the ONLY film ever given to the franchise. There's so much more they can explore with Ninja Gaiden. It has a great storyline, memorable characters, and lots of solid material to work with. I can easily see more Ninja Gaiden movies being made. Hell, they could even do a TV show.
@Shin Shaman IT DOES LOOK LIKE AN 80S ANIME! I mean look at the neo noir scenery, and especially how they kinda pull off a little more Golgo 13 style action scenes! It REALLY does look and sounds more like an 80s anime despite this Ninja Gaiden OVA released in 1991.
Man that was really solid minus making Irene just kinda helpless and there to get saved. But that kinda comes with the territory when you’re watching Anime from this far back. Really liked the side characters too as cliche as it was. The 80s/90s aesthetics were lovely too.
The only disadvantage of this OVA that I see is that there's no music theme from the original NES games. Outside of it, really stunning anime... The quality of the traces and animation is great. The story is a detective story with some science fiction ingredients, embedded in mystery and lightened by action... And it's well told!
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that, with a little more jutsu and eventual progression to the current story and look but keeping the same art style, characters and music, this would make a kick ass series that could beat back most of the anime today?
For someone like me who grew up with all 3 classic Ninja gaiden NES games This is always such awesome movie to rewatch, this is like the 10th time i watch this underrated film Really love it's classic animation manga style & love this version of Ryu I will be recording today a homage series dedicated to Ryu hayabusa Roleplay in Dark Souls remastered a Ninja katana build in my gaming channel I'll try to make look like this
I love the animation. It has a minimal amount of one of the things that piss me off about anime sometimes; the scene where a character attacks and, instead of showing the sword strike, it shows a black screen with a glowing slash mark. Being able to watch most of the action is a real treat--thanks for uploading!
Pretty good. Glad they brought back Robert. You'd think they'd mention something about Irene being former CIA though. Most CIA agents wouldn't be that freaked out over shooting something.
Fun to think that when I was kid, I use to entertain the thought of Ninja Gaidens Ryu and Street Fighters character being one in the same...Imagine that😂
I didn't know that they made anime Ninga Gaiden 🎥 Yes I heard of Ninga Scroll and Streetfighter also Fists of fury! Ninga Gaiden 3 on the nes is still my absolute favorite game to play! The graphics sound and game play is absolutely amazing!
42:16 That is double high falls would kill him because he is human can die easy ,plus we don't have re spawn life and other is demon hard to kill would take 11 times attacks to put him down.
Didn't know about this amv untill here the other day, but pretty cool stuff :3 this 80s 90s style of anime really has its timeless charm. Now, if only it didn't leave us on a cliffhanger..
Intros: 1988's NES Ninja Gaiden: After we are treated to a mysterious ninja duel in a wind swept clearing between Ryu's father and an unknown Ninja, Ryu is led to the US by a letter from his father... he then proceeds to cut open knife throwing bikers, boxers and mutant dogs in broad daylight before taking on a 'roided up ninja Jason Voorhees in a bar and then he's shot in the back with a tranquilizer by CIA agent Irene Lew. This: Ryu isn't a good boyfriend to Irene or something... WTF?
Ryu and the game ninja gaiden is the first, the initial spark in my brain that led me to believe that I could someday become a ninja. Also the movie enter the ninja which I wasn't allowed to see in full until I was much older because of the sho beheading in the end. Top notch. Now im greying" well but ninja gaiden waw, my black belt and all the embarrassing wanna be ninja stuff I still conitnue to do until this day. Thanks Ryu ❤

true true true 80s 90s anime graphic detail so aesthetic
I agree yo
That pencil is crazy the new shit just looks like hentai for the creeps
It definitely beats the pants off the shitty CGI bobbleheads you see in Netflix anime.
agreed. It's sorta the same with 16 bit graphics. It still to this day has an aesthetic appeal, as seen in indie gaming.
Watching old animes is a medecine for the soul ♥

Com certeza
No matter how many new anime i watch... I always have to come back to classics to feel content
Watching this kind of art style made my eyes teary... Feels so nostalgic. 80s - 90s are the best ever
miss these old style anime....
I don't.
well your a piece of shit. so there's that
God forbid I have preferences.
@@blitzofuckzo why are u here then
We all do.
Good old time anime from the late 80s or early 90s. Love the dark, lurid, neonoir look.
I've been a fan of Ninja Gaiden and the Dead or Alive games for years but didn't even know this OVA was a thing until right now. I love how unrepentantly 80s it is in all of its cheesy action glory.
Of all the damn costumes TECMO made for DOA... I am surprised Ryu's anime gaiden costume was not one of them.
@@jaydavis5598It looks fuckin badass too...I hope they give us that in the next game
I'm wondering when he's going to slash a lantern and collect a power-up.
Habe you seen a lantern please?
😂😂😂
Lmao gah I miss nintendo
Or jump into a falcon and fall down a pit
Only in video games !

Rip Daisuke Goro -- He voice acts as Jeffrey Hammond in this. I knew the voice seemed familiar from Fist of the North Star.
Wow, I didn't realize that!

Love those 80's anime OVAs!
BLAQ JOKER yaa these 80s and 90s cartoon always give nostalgia 😍
@@ben10alienforceism It wasn't just 80s and 90s anime were give nostalgia, but early 2000s too.
@@AndikaThe2000 yaa true the old anime’s had better story when compared to the new ones

Demon city and wrath of the ninja
Thanks for the upload. I never saw this before and love 80s/90s anime as well as the Ninja Gaiden games new and old :D
thank you for posting! been looking for this one for a while now!
I truly love this classic movie.. always been great fan of NINJA GAIDEN, Ryu hayabusa is 1 of the greatest ninja master
Hai! 🥷🏻

@@tonyknighton4019 One can dream.
There's a new game coming out, so...that's something!
@@OHCandP I saw the trailers. And it looks impressive so far.
do you really want to watch a Ninja Gaiden starring a fat black woman and living troll doll zendaya?
the soundtrack when they ride in with the bike is perfection.
That was actually a really good movie. Sucks that it was so short, but it was a nice little gem. Love the early 90s animation.
Reminds me of Baoh. Both short but animated well
Nothing beats early 90's anime, nothing.
90's rave
Looks more like 80s Style to me. Still pretty awesome!
@Shin Shaman IT DOES LOOK LIKE AN 80S ANIME! I mean look at the neo noir scenery, and especially how they kinda pull off a little more Golgo 13 style action scenes! It REALLY does look and sounds more like an 80s anime despite this Ninja Gaiden OVA released in 1991.
Hahah I love that they’re at the bar drinking brown liquor & then immediately driving all over town.
Man that was really solid minus making Irene just kinda helpless and there to get saved. But that kinda comes with the territory when you’re watching Anime from this far back. Really liked the side characters too as cliche as it was. The 80s/90s aesthetics were lovely too.
I find it awesome that Jeff and Robert are voiced by Cell and Mr. Satan.
Damn that's extra cool~!
Man that was Badass. Thanks dude

The story is a detective story with some science fiction ingredients, embedded in mystery and lightened by action... And it's well told!
That said, it does have good music. But I agree. It would've been nice to hear some tracks from the games.
I could Imagine watching this anime from our vintage tv set...😭
Good old 80s 90s anime is the best
5:19 A nice tidal wave of 80's right to the brain. XD
So nostalgic even the music...and I didn't even experience the 80s...
80’s - early 2,000’s that’s where the best anime was made.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that, with a little more jutsu and eventual progression to the current story and look but keeping the same art style, characters and music, this would make a kick ass series that could beat back most of the anime today?
Thanks for posting! Been looking for this one for a while
Can you buy this either on laserdisc or vhs anywhere I also wanted this one for my collection .
敵の本拠地に乗り込んでからの展開には結構勿体無い部分もあるが、そこに至るまでの話の流れと軽妙な掛け合いが面白い
何より聞こえてくる声が揃いも揃って凄い
Love the old 80s film and this was a sequel. To the first game or 3rd game but very well done love the 80s
Oh snap, ive been curious to see this for a while now
29:35 is the best part. Love the music and the animation in the fight sequence.
The golden age of anime I love it like this. Ninja scroll. Akira this are my 2 favorite
I never knew about that anime, after I played all NG Sigma games I wondered if there any anime or anything, boy searching was definitely worth it ❤
Although this is based on the original trilogy, not the second one. But you probably know that.
For someone like me who grew up with all 3 classic Ninja gaiden NES games
This is always such awesome movie to rewatch, this is like the 10th time i watch this underrated film
Really love it's classic animation manga style & love this version of Ryu
I will be recording today a homage series dedicated to Ryu hayabusa Roleplay in Dark Souls remastered
a Ninja katana build in my gaming channel
I'll try to make look like this
Jeff and Robert's entrance into that building 💯💣💥😎👍👍👍👍👍👍
At the end of the movie, i just lighted a cigarette, nostalgia is as good as sex.
19:14 Anyone can see that the kitten is the real mastermind.
I love the animation. It has a minimal amount of one of the things that piss me off about anime sometimes; the scene where a character attacks and, instead of showing the sword strike, it shows a black screen with a glowing slash mark.

Stereo sound... AWESOME
Ooohhh, I had no idea it was the CC that was doing that, thank you very much!
You can’t ever trust anyone named “Bucky-Wise”.
20:54 damn that was clean as fuck
Never knew they made a anime series out of the game. It was kinda cool, considering it's age.
The cartoons were long before the games
Darius Foster many games were long before the cartoons*
No
And many games actually got their start in the Arcades, not on the NES, like many people neglect to remember.
Willa bema Agreed
How cute. It deserved a season❤
the screams the cuts. the sound effects are top notch
you gotta love this. Anyone familiar with the classic ninja gaiden games on the NES should watch this
I never knew ninja gaiden had an animated movie, nice.
Yeah, same here.
44:35 best scene in the movie
Cartoon from my childhood.. long long time ago :)
Do you know if this was late 80's or early 90's? Yeah the style of the anime I saw in the mid to late 80's when I was a kid. I was born in 1980.
it released on 1991, i think this is only one version of anime from ninja gaiden. ( sry for my english )
***** uhh not kissin ass here, but nothing is wrong with ur English. U should see the way black people speak. (Its OK y'all. I'm black too)
懐かしい。当時LDを持ってた。作画のクオリティも高かった。
難波圭一さん、ですね！やっぱり烈風隊門田の声が耳に残りますね
Pretty good. Glad they brought back Robert. You'd think they'd mention something about Irene being former CIA though. Most CIA agents wouldn't be that freaked out over shooting something.
Fun to think that when I was kid, I use to entertain the thought of Ninja Gaidens Ryu and Street Fighters character being one in the same...Imagine that😂
awesome, i miss 80s animation style.
I do to
Incredible film and man some great action! I WANT MORE NINJA GAIDEN!
34:22 .... hands down, best part of the entire movie. Repeat 34:22 to 34:30 for the ultimate ass owning experience.
09:16 - I know it says Ned Friedman; but I almost read it as Ned Flanders!
"Hi diddly ho Ryu-reno!"
You win the fucking internet, my friend
OK, now THAT was how anime should be done.
Anime just the way I like it 😤🔥💎✨
Reminds me of Saturday mornings on _Sci-Fi channel_ *back in the day.*
deep down inside, you know you care.
i havent watched this bc i didnt know it was on yt but i recognize so many sound effects from ninja gaiden black thats awesome
thanks for the upload!!!
I miss this....I truly do...
5:54 Oh my god my Eyes! Why the hell is the window so bright! Why couldn’t they just out a shade of blue or something?
Ha ha so true
I miss the arcade game where the joystick had the "jump to hold on" button. So initiative at that time.
I wonder if that final scene with the daughter holding the horn was meant to be setting up a continuation.
I didn't know that they made anime Ninga Gaiden 🎥 Yes I heard of Ninga Scroll and Streetfighter also Fists of fury! Ninga Gaiden 3 on the nes is still my absolute favorite game to play! The graphics sound and game play is absolutely amazing!
best ive seen so far Ninja Gaiden ROCKS
i cant believe i actually managed to find this on youtube, this ova is damn near impossible to find normally, well for me anyways
42:16 That is double high falls would kill him because he is human can die easy ,plus we don't have re spawn life and other is demon hard to kill would take 11 times attacks to put him down.
They put Robert alive for this ova. Still, what about the little girl? And that light at the end? Were they thinking in making a second ova?
Boomstick: And he did all that just to get himself laid
Nelo Angello 😂😂😂😂
An True Classic my friends. Really. Thanks.
Scientist turns himself into an ultra-mutant monster... to have a sword fight? Just...
It doesn't need to make sense. Just revel in the badassery.
....and still lose
Japan bro
Even mutant monsters still have mere fists. No matter how much stronger he became, slashing with a sword would still be more effective than punching.
Holy crap that montage of New York City 5:05. So awesome.
I didn't know Ninja Gaiden had an anime adaptation.
It's awesome though.
I just knew the end credits track was gonna be fire.
9:20 Brilliant!
19:14 : Kitten is the true enemy. Cat Earth Society...FTW
Dragon Ball sound effects (thanks to Fizz Sound Creation). Anyone here for the Dragon Ball sound effects?
Didn't know about this amv untill here the other day, but pretty cool stuff :3 this 80s 90s style of anime really has its timeless charm.
Now, if only it didn't leave us on a cliffhanger..
Highway Guy Sorry, my mistake, slip of the tungue.
Holy crap that was badass ultraviolence
Ryu is soooooo handsome. how lucky you are,Irene!!!!! :D
So did they or didn't they think to follow this up? when that little girl picked up that stone I figured they would be a sequel is there or isn't?
2024 anyone for ninja gaiden.
45:08 Why put a cliffhanger here if there's no sequal?
Awesome. Love this old-school stuff.
Never knew of this before.
Looks good.
I love Ninja Gaiden. And the music is just EAR CANDY!
Masked devil!
The music is 🔥 🔥🔥🔥

So this is where the second outfit comes from on NG1 after you finish the game.
