Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls is an anime series that is a sequel to the original Basilisk series that aired in 2005. The show is based on the light novel series of the same name by Masaki Yamada and illustrated by Tatsuya Shihira. The anime is produced by Seven Arcs Pictures and directed by Junji Nishimura. The anime premiered on January 9, 2018, and ran for 24 episodes.

The story takes place ten years after the events of the original series. Two powerful ninja clans, the Koga and the Iga, are battling once again for control and power. The conflict between the two clans is reignited when the grandson of the former Koga leader, Hachirou Kouga, and the granddaughter of the former Iga leader, Hibiki Iga, fall in love. Their love triggers a new war between the two clans, with each clan trying to use their powers to eliminate the other.

The show follows the story of Hachirou and Hibiki as they try to navigate through the conflict that their love has caused. Along the way, they meet other powerful ninjas from both clans who are determined to carry out their respective clan's wishes. The characters are complex and multifaceted, with each one having their own motivations and goals. The show explores their histories and personal lives, making them much more than just warriors on a battlefield.

The action and fight scenes in Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls are intense and well-choreographed. The series has a lot of blood and gore, which is not surprising given the nature of the ninja battles. However, the show is also able to balance this with moments of levity and peacefulness, often through the interactions between Hachirou and Hibiki. The soundtrack and art style of the anime are both impressive, adding to the overall enjoyment of the show.

One of the standout features of the show is its exploration of the themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice. The love story between Hachirou and Hibiki is central to the plot, but it is not the only type of love explored in the show. The love between family members, friends, and even enemies is also explored in depth. Loyalty is a central theme throughout the series, with each character being fiercely loyal to their respective clan. The show also examines the sacrifices that people make for love and loyalty, showing the consequences that come with those decisions.

Overall, Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls is a well-executed sequel to the original Basilisk series. The show is able to stand on its own while also providing a satisfying continuation of the story. The characters are well-developed, the action is intense, and the themes are thought-provoking. Fans of the original series and newcomers to the franchise alike will find enjoyment in this show.

Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (24 episodes). The series first aired on January 8, 2018.
