Why You Should Skip Basilisk: Ouka Ninpouchou (Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls) 1. While the sequel took things in a new direction, Seven Arcs Pictures kept the heavy sense of foreboding that defined the 2005 anime, and there is more than enough gore to satisfy older fans. For all intents and purposes, this is a totally fresh adventure and newcomers should not be any more lost than veterans of the series.
The best praise that can be leveled at Basilisk: Ouka Ninpouchou is the fact that it avoids retreading the same plot points explored by its predecessor.
Both series came alive when focusing on the action, and Seven Arcs Animation limits its smoothest animation for these particular scenes. Unsurprisingly, Basilisk: Ouka Ninpouchou follows the same approach, although most of the battles are restricted to the last stretch of episodes. With death lurking around every corner, nobody's safety was ever assured, making each encounter feel genuinely exhilarating and intense. Putting aside the plot and atmosphere, Basilisk: Kouga Ninpou Chou's main selling point was its glorious battles and eagerness to ax characters at a moment's notice.
