The History of Ninja Shizatch

The history of Ninja Shizatch is a bittersweet tale of tragedy and rebirth.


It all began back in my high school years, when the word "bizatch" was temporarily gaining popularity among the social elite.

I had just acquired Macromedia Flash, and wanted to try my hand at animation. So I made a movie. A movie about a Silver Ninja, who destroyed a small army of blue ninjas with ease and class.

The title? "Well," I thought to myself, "it's just some ninja shizatch." And so it was.

Over the years, I made a few episodes of Ninja Shizatch (the latest ones can be found on Newgrounds), but I would only come out with two episodes a year due to my poor animation skills and lack of time.

Ninja Shizatch was beginning to gain some popularity, as people seemed to steal the latest episode off Newgrounds and post it on other websites without my consent. I figured I must be doing something right if people were stealing my work.

Unfortunately, the fans waited, and waited, and waited... The internet community is fickle - after seeing that I was not updated, they quickly forgot about Ninja Shizatch.

I did not want NS to die. Finally, I decided to let the animation go, and work on a Ninja Shizatch webcomic. Now roughly a month old, Ninja Shizatch is settling into its new format, and is being received well by the webcomic community.

Hats off to DrunkDuck for hosting Ninja Shizatch and letting the dream live on.
