JURASSIC SHADOWS

Dinosaurs VS Ninjas

A beautiful and vivid battle action like no one has ever seen is born──

The latest work of animation director Norihiro Naganuma, known for his overwhelming visual beauty and delicate direction that closely follows characters’ emotions, 'Ryukeshou no Shinobi' is an original anime that combines classic motifs loved by all generations and countries—"dinosaurs" and "ninjas"—with a modern element: "makeup."

Supporting Director Naganuma in his first attempt at action is character designer Yukiko Nakatani and color designer Misato Aida, who previously teamed up on 'Kusuriya no Hitorigoto.' The team reunites to create a dazzling and stylish battle action that’s classic yet unlike anything anyone has ever seen.

Meanwhile, there are those who secretly fight these dinosaurs—a group of ninjas who use special pigments called "Ryukeshou," carrying ancient memories, to draw out the abilities of dinosaurs in battle.

The predators—'dinosaurs'—launch attacks to wipe out humanity, and the 'ninjas' fight to stop them in a struggle for the survival of each species──

Japan Wants to Eliminate Illegal Immigrants...

Here's Why...

A Japanese high school student’s emotional anti-immigration speech is spreading widely online as concerns about national identity grow. At a rally, the teen broke down in tears while shouting into a microphone, “Take our country back.” The clip of her trembling, emotional remarks quickly gained traction across social media in Japan. She argued that Japan has long been a single-ethnicity society and warned that this could change if current trends continue. Drawing comparisons to Europe, she cautioned about potential cultural erosion and increasing public safety concerns. Her repeated line, “It’s frightening,” resonated with supporters worried about the country’s future identity. The crowd echoed her sentiments, chanting and urging leaders to halt further immigration.

Little Red Riding Hood

Translation: Director Yuichi Fukuda makes a popular novel into a movie! A comedy mystery where Little Red Riding Hood solves difficult cases in the world of classic fairy tales as a detective! Netflix movie "Little Red Riding Hood meets a corpse on her journey. ] Global exclusive distribution starts on Thursday, September 14, 2023!

Shortly after Cinderella and the prince (Takanori Iwata) fall in love, a dead body is found and the ball is interrupted.

Little Red Riding Hood confronts the case with her innate insight and impudence—! What is the truth behind the tragedy that happened in a country where "beauty is everything"?

"What big TEETH you have!"

For people wondering, this is not a Japanese take on Disney (even though the Japanese are crazy for Disney) or even the original tales for the Red Riding Hood or Cinderella. This is the film adaptation of a Japanese book series by Aito Aoyagi, that brings some irony, dark humor and Sherlock Holmes's wit to traditional European fairy-tales, so it's pretty much a Japanese product. The titles of the series are pretty hilarious, like "Red Riding Hood meets Pinocchio, and then finds a dead body".
