Japanese anime "Nikko Toshogu".

These are the words that came to mind when I thought about how to describe ``Batman Ninja''. Nikko Toshogu Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu and is characterized by its colorful decorations. The most eye-catching thing is the Yomeimon gate at the entrance. ...It ended up sounding like a travelogue, but Yomeimon is decorated with hundreds of colorfully painted sculptures, and although it is colored in an ``excessive'' way that threatens to lose its balance, it is still a mysterious building. It's all together. ``Batman Ninja'' is as ``excessive'' and gorgeous as Yomeimon. However, the analogy of Yomeimon may be too elegant. To use another analogy, ``Batman Ninja'' is an ``all-you-can-eat supermarket service''. Within the tight running time of 85 minutes, the high-quality aspects of Japanese anime design, movement, and production are concentrated to the utmost, and packed to the brim. Far before the climax, the bag begins to tear, and I feel like a worried child beside me, saying, ``Mom, it won't fit anymore!''

Why was a work like this ``supermarket all-you-can-fill service'' created? Producer Tetsuro Satomi tweeted this on his Twitter :

``Normally, when choosing a staff member, we combine the role of accelerator and the role of brake, but this time we solidified the team with just the role of accelerator, and the staff members continued to press the accelerator with all their might as usual, so it was impossible to create ``Batman Ninja.'' It's not that they're overdoing it, it's just that no one is stepping on the brakes."
