| It was watchable and I liked Miharu's sarcastic personality. I'll keep on watching for a while longer to see where it all goes. ...Does anyone know how many episodes this is supposed to be? |
  |
| I surprised myself by really liking Kugimiya's performance. It had been a while since I heard her voice Alphonse, and I forgot that she can actually do guys. It seems alright, albeit a bit generic. The action scenes and animation have nothing on Soul Eater, which is probably its main competitor in terms of action this season. It's not bad, but it's not exactly good either. If the plot becomes a bit more involved and less typically Shounen it might be good. I'll keep with it for a bit, at least, although it is going on my "potentially will drop" list since there are already so many decent shows this season. |
| 世界は美しくなんかない。 そしてそれ故に、美しい |
| That was awesome. I like the art style. |
     |
| Love the art style and action sequences, however, as Crenshinibon, it didn't top Soul Eater in those areas. Still, I enjoyed it and am definitely gonna keep watching. Also I really like Miharu's personality. |

| I belive this will be a good show |
 |
| My question is whether or not Rokujo is really a boy. Voiced by a girl, flirts with teacher, etc. I wish it was a girl because Rokujo's totally my type (sorry if that seems weird) |
 |
| I loved it! Aizawa's more attractive in the anime, I think :D |
 |
| I read the first like two chapters of the manga a while ago I think…I guess I’ll have to read the rest that are translated now…even though there’s not many. Good episode imo. The opening is sweet. I Really liked the art as well as Miharu’s personality. I’ll be watching the next few episodes for sure. |

| Wasn't super excited about the show but will watch a few more episodes to see how it turns out. The animation is great and the premise is good so who knows. kickass331 said: My question is whether or not Rokujo is really a boy.

  |
| The characters seem a little too emotionless... besides that loved that animation. I'll keep w/this one |
Oh my God this was awesome. I want to rape Miharu tenderly.   |

| I'm glad it finally became an anime series. I think the animation is a wee bit stiff with the exception of the fighting scenes. Miharu is cute as ever! Can't wait for Yoite to enter the picture! |
| Way better than Naruto. |
 |
| Not the most appealing first episode, but i'll give it a shot seriously funny yoai action there XD |
| the art style is quite different but the backgrounds are beautiful. animation was a lil above average. i think that the dry humor is nicely done and gives a nice side to the main character. tho how the hell does he disappear so quickly in seconds without anyone noticing lol. |
| It was ok. Miharu is really funny sometimes. |

| I don't really like Ninja Anime and fusing it with a present background is quite questionable but I'm ok with that in exchange for that awesome laughter that Miharu boy gave me. And it looks like his personality will bring us a lot of fun that way.  "Get lost, Narutard." |
 |
| That wasn't too bad, it has quite some potential. The only thing I can complain about is the OP so far. |

| I really enjoyed episode 1 :) I love the teacher the most ^_^ |

| I hate ninja anime, but OMG I love this series! It's so good, and the OP is so win <3~~ Miharu-kun is adorable and yummy =O.O= |
  |
| Nice to see Kugimiya and Hino re-united in another J.C. Staff action-adventure show. Overall I enjoyed this; modern day ninjas ftw! |
  |
| I enjoyed this first episode .. But i do think the manga is better, especially the chara design. |
  |
| so hot..... uh wait what? Plot? hahaha xD no no, I liked it. People shouldn't hate on ninja shows just because naruto fails :P Fights were awesome. |
| For a while there (restaurant scene) i thought Miharu was a girl(he seriously gave that impression), but i read the show's description and saw he was a guy... don't sound so moe and girly out of nowhere dammit! Well this seems like an interesting series. The fights look pretty good and the story doesn't seem too bad. I'll continue watching at least until i see that schoolgirl with a katana in the images... |
Kakkou-kun said: It looks quite interesting! Have nothing more to add... Thought Kugimiya Rie was going to appear in this ep though, but apperently she comes in the next ep. :D What are you talking about? Miharu's voice is Kugimiya Rie... At first, I was like o_O too... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Honestly, it's a relief to hear Kugimiya Rie in a role that doesn't sound like her latest ones (Nagi, Shana, Louise). Reminds me that she CAN do other roles =P Otherwise, I thought it was pretty good. Liked Miharu's sarcastic personality. Some of the stuff he says was absolute lol (see windy's post) and the action sequences were sweet. |
     |
| ummm.... potential... nothing compared to Code Geass or Macross F of course but it can prove to be interesting. Certainly Miharu is keeping me on this series.... |

| I think I'm going to keep watching this ^_^ I love the art and Miharu is absolutely freakin adorable *o* Ever since the first time I saw a picture of him, I just kept thinking 'What a beautiful boy! *o*' |
 |
windy said: Oh my God this was awesome. I want to rape Miharu tenderly. lol It's like borderline yaoi! :P It was ok. Not great, but not terrible. I like how the backgrounds look like watercolors or hasty sketches. Kinda pretty. |
     |
| cmon guys you're all way better than that! i can't believe no one saw the resemblance here: it was great to see him get pwned by those plants though. LOL |
 |
corroded said: cmon guys you're all way better than that! i can't believe no one saw the resemblance here: it was great to see him get pwned by those plants though. LOL hahah i DID notice that, seriously |
| Well, this was not what I expected. This didn't seem like the kind of series I would like, but something was telling me to try it out. And lo and behold, I loved it! Unlike most action shows, the fight scenes were easy for me to follow and I actually even enjoyed them (this is really rare for me). It looked great, and I love the modern-day ninja theme; I'm hoping the series will continue to be unique in that respect. And most of all, Miharu is a wonderful protagonist. I love how witty and well-adjusted he is! Keep it up, Nabari no Ou~! |
Kayrhandros said: Well, first thing I noticed is that the character's suffered from famine during the recordings =P. Took me a while to get used to the fact that they were so skinny, plus and maybe due to that some of the motion in the begunning seemed sorta akward. Dispite that, I still liked the animation a lot. I also loved how they made the backgrounds look like paintings. ... Lol ^o^ Yeah! Is that Miharu in your sig? Looks like it...xP Anyway for a first episode from my point of view, it was good enough. I haven't read the manga so I can't compare. Yes the fight scene were smoothly drawn and very good. The whatever his name is Sensei is hott.. so... I didn't like Miharu! |

| Just finished watching the first episode, there is a few things about this anime that interest me, however certain aspects put me off and i am unsure wether i should bother to continue with this anime. Maturity being a key factor, so maybe its just not my type of anime. Although i do like how they have attempted a different style of animation compared to the majority of other animes. |

Frenz said: Maturity being a key factor, so maybe its just not my type of anime. Yea, I'm with you on this one. On another point, I'm really confused about how people go overboard excited about sexually ambiguous characters. From a psychology stand point I already know the history of 99% of the forum goers who fall into that category but I just don't want to believe it. |

| well just another one to add to my list. good fight and violence. the animation is different but good. should be a fun one to watch. |
| i like the animation and its full of bishounen some parts bored me, but this show has potential to turn into something good. |
 |
| I liked it.I found really funny those parts when Miharu was acting gay ^_________^ ukiuki said: and its full of bishounen Sure is |
| My expectations were alot higher than this, but it still was alright. Miharu is totally awesome, i can totally understand why someone would want to raep him :P. Looking forward to more!~ |

| It was a decent first episode. I'll keep watching to see where this goes! |
 |
| I think that was a great start, animation was great especially fight scenes and background. Although the legs were a bit spidery. I'm looking forward to this series. (Bishies FTW) |
 |
| I like both the animation and the action. I haven't read the manga yet, but I hope it's a strict adaption or close to it. |
 |
| Ahh, jeez. I hate it when everybody in the series is more interesting than the main character! *sighs* I don't find apathetic characters cool and I'm not a fangirl so he's not attractive. If everything falls on him he needs to be cooler than this. Seriously. I was hoping for this to be one of the better series this season. Giving it one more ep before I put it on hold. |
