What is Jurassic Shadows about?
The official website of the anime describes its story as (machine translated):
Tokyo, 2029.
Dinosaurs, once thought to have gone extinct due to a meteorite impact, have secretly survived by inbreeding with humans and lurking in the shadows. They now live unnoticed in human society and survive by devouring humans.
Standing against them is a cover group of ninjas who use special pigments imbued with ancient memories to bring out their own latent dinosaur abilities and fight the monsters.
The monstrous dinosaurs finally rise to take over humanity, and the heroes rise to stop them.
The battle for survival between the two species begins.
