Ninja Slayer

Let me talk about Ninja Slayer. You know, I was surprised because one of my friends suddenly said that Ninja Slayer was originally written by Japanese guys. He naturally denied the official information that it was written by guys in America and translated by the translation team. O my goodness, why don't you believe? Yeah, it is true that Ninja Slayer is associated with Far East of Eden II/『天外魔境 II』, in a page*1, which was later actually announced to be written by a Japanese designer. Far East of Eden II was first said to be under influence of interpretations by a person called P.H. Chada, whose existence later publicly was denied, though it was not until people's interest completely moved away. Huh, why don't you believe Ninja Slayer is originally from America because it is said so? Unlike Far East of Eden, that comprises a part of the essence of Ninja Slayer, right? And because of that I first thought `Nah, this is just a variation of American comic, look, this guy is called Annihilator, that must be because he annihilates, see? The simplest naming rule, which is the characteristic of American comic. Nah. Although naming a katana which a villain boss is equipped with Karoushi*2 is amazing, the rest is fulled up with something like old X-men'. X-men is not in the wrong. Storm is called Storm because she uses storms. Beast is Beast because he is a beast. I must say it's not my taste but that's what it is. My point was why the authors did not get it through with insane ideas like badasses who greet before attacking. If you do not believe they are people who have been enjoying American culture, my complaint cannot stand.

Well, as you know, Ninja Slayer's got animated. Umm, that's actually fine.

*1:Whoa? There was such a page in Niconico Douga once, but I can't find.

*2:Death by overwork.
