[@Halvtand] So, I was thinking Megumi could have received some shuriken training from Mikio. It'd make sense since she'd probably know he's damn good at it.

This was sent before I woke up :) But no worries. Mikio is 15 years older than Megumi, so if we accept that she left the academy as a genin at the same time as the kids of the show (age 12), Mikio would've been 27 and definitely old enough to have taught stuff at the school for a while. I'll try to get a reply in today.

Just had a look at it. It seems awesome. Is it made over a game? 'Cause when I searched for it, a bunch of game stuff came up.

Basilisk is one of the animé I have previously skipped past due to not liking the art style, so I'll definitely have a look at that.

My brother, and not the one you would expect, swears by the Beserk series. He loves it with a passion usually only seen in French artists.

I don't know if there is a game or anything like that. I was told is was "sort of like attack on titan" with stunning visuals and shit. I actually don't know anything about the story.

Basilisk does have a special style to it. You're not the first to say so. Personally I love the art style, it's realistic enough to suspend disbelief but still out there enough to make the ninja stuff seem plausible. Good mix.

I too swear by Berserk, it is one of the best mangas I have ever read and as I have some friends who are also into it I've had a chance to explore the deeper meanings and symbolisms of it. If we get going, we can keep it up for hours. 
The old anime was... fine. It's a product of both its time and a limited budget. The movies are really good recaps although some dislike the CGI-style of them. The new anime is simply shit. Censure, deleted (important) arcs and scenes, too much focus on "Hi, I'm Guts and this is me swinging my sword around" and an atrociously horrible CGI-animation instead of drawn animation. There is no depth to the visuals of the anime, which is a big thing in the manga. They've basically slapped the fandom in the face by saying "We'll make a new anime (Aw yeah, awesome!)... But we won't represent the source material and we'll make it look like the intro to a PS2-game (-.-' wat?)"
