I mean the score for this anime going from 8.30 - 8.60 to 7.90 because of cg mech is nothing new but still a hilarous showing from anime fans. Like i get it the first 2 episodes of bloody hand combat action was eye watering for the people who watched the show. But then It went into cg mech which for anime fans is equivalent to having a stroke and a brain aneurysm at the same time. Is the cg Toei animation or orange type cg, no, But its still very decent, and on top of that with the storyboarding, choreography and directing make the mech fights very enjoyable, but hey th3 comments do make for a good laugh, seeing people ( who dont know what there talking about) have very very very amazing takes on cg and animation as a whole so keep it going

Understandable. CG mechs are evil.

That... or a lot of people thought switching from ninjas to fucking mech ninjas was trash.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

It's crazy people are not into having piss in their eyes. I mean I don't kink-shame you, you do you... but it's kinda dumb to force it on everyone else

CGI mechs is one of the multiple problems I have with this show and first episodes, in fact, were better than what we're having now.

That's because most people in general even though they deny it, they only care about animation.

In this case the 3D fights really lacks punch and are not as interesting as the first fights were

CG mechs is one thing, the story being super mid is major reason for rating drop

The show jumped the shark when it introduced the mecha element. The CGI is irrelevant.

That's what happens when betraying the audience with mecha suit garbage instead of ninja fights, next time MAL better add a mecha tag right away.

most people just refuse to pretend like the cgi mecha shit isn't boring. the story was already generic, the ninja fights at the start was the only thing that hooked me and they dropped the ball on even that.

Weirdly enough, I actually don't mind the mech stuff, it seem to be naturally going in that direction so it's not surprising. Story-wise, the story is more interesting than I was expecting. It's pretty straightforward but that's not necessarily a bad thing

I agree that the CGI fights in this are SLIGHTLY better than the CGI fights of other shows but other shows start off with those CGI fights instead of luring the audience in with good 2D fights but that isn't the only reason the plot, story, and characters are literally worse than Demon Slayer and that show already is infamous for weak plot, story, and characters.

Going by what people here are saying, it's probably got to do with mechs appearing in a show with the word "Ninja" in it. People are watching for ninjas, not robots. It's like if you wanted a chocolate chip cookie but you find out it has raisins on the inside.

Why are people surprised we got power armours when the anime is sci-fi, I was expecting it to be honest because the beginning was barely sci-fi and just a teaser.

Anime fans and their endless feud with CGI will be never ending. I even remember back in the 2000s with my friend group bitching out any CGI in anime.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

Lmao its called Ninja Kamui not Mech Kamui, Honestly when someone defends some bullshit like this is also beyond hilarious. They burned their budget in hand to hand animation in first few episode and then shifted to CGI mechs suits which turned off fans and I won't blame them as it was not that was promised, choreo and everything is fine but overall its just ok and not to mention story is not something of a masterpiece.

Most people dropped its rating because everything in this show is just ok (characters/plot) the one thing that was making it hype was the hand to hand 2D fight scenes which is also gone now.

I'm only watching this 'cause Tsuda is voicing in this. The mech stuff is stupid since it looked nice in the beginning though.

@Gavinyeet literally this. The introduction of mecha didn’t change the score for me at all. It was never very good.

Lol no, OP, this looks like shit and the Mech fights are godawful.

But if it makes you feel a bit better, a rating of 7.90 is still way too high for a crappy Mech anime like this one.

So... in the first couple of episodes, the story was still being set up, so there was still potential. The fight scenes were solid enough, the animation overall was decent, nothing special but got the job done.

But now? We know AUZA is cartoonishly evil, we know the ninja organization is corrupt and that we're following a generic revenge plot to the 'T', reminiscent of the origin story of The Punisher, and we know that this is only ever going to end one way, so the journey getting there needed to be worth it. Instead, the badass ninja fights have become soulless CG mecha fights, with metal clashing against metal instead of flesh and bone and blood. Higan goes up against nameless NPCs who pose no threat and solely serve as fodder, or random cyborg ninja Lieutenants that didn't need to exist, and just waste time until the important fights against the Reaper and the clan head. With only 3 episodes to go, I can't imagine this going anywhere else than a rushed conclusion with the big baddies biting the dust, Higan dying with his revenge satiated, and old cop going into retirement. Hacker man can just disappear, really.

TLDR; Plot sucks, animation gets worse by the episode, fight scenes are ruined by mecha suits, and I don't care for any of the characters. This show went from promising ninja revenge story to generic af, to boring, and will probably downgrade to trash by the time it's done, IMO. I'm just riding it out at this point, I've committed to watching much worse shows lol.

the score was dropping even before the cgi mechs, that just sealed the deal.

I don't even dislike mechs or cgi, but going to that from 10/10 hand to hand 2d action, is definitely a pretty big drop.

and honestly I thought the writing was pretty subpar from the start, the action was the thing keeping me invested.

The CG played a very small part for me dropping my score but the majority of it was due to the story becoming so boring and predictable past episode 2. With the flashy first episode and the story going to shit afterwards, it feels similar to God of High School, but the visuals weren't even able to maintain their quality like in GoHS so it has nothing going for it. Wouldn't even be surprised if this drops into the 3000s or worse when it ends.

I wonder how different the audience response would be if the Gusoku gear fights were done in 2D as well. Like, the exact same type of fighting from the early episodes, just inside the mech suits. Without CGI I feel like the general response would be a little better since anime fans have the most raging hate boner for CGI.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.
