What's On Tonight (Saturday): Ninjas in America

Ninja Kamui

There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, February 10!

Our Top Pick tonight is the series premiere of Ninja Kamui (Adult Swim, midnight / Max, Sunday). This new anime series is not a direct import, it's a Toonami original. Plus it is directed by Sunghoo Park, which should put expectations on it, especially for the action scenes. Expect blood. If you are someone who prefers their anime subtitled, Adult Swim will broadcast the sub version at 3 a.m. I assume both will be on Max.

Elsewhere, Jane Austen lives, Influencing comes Accidentally, the Super Bowl gets Soulful, One Piece has a savior, Naruto wages in battle, and Catchy Comedy goes on a 3-hour tour.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
