Synopsis

Once believed to be extinct, ninjas have reappeared in contemporary Japan following the Pacific War. With a headcount rumored to be two hundred thousand, these deadly assassins are now tasked with covert operations, infiltrating a significant portion of the nation's public and private institutions in the process.

Among these ninjas is Kurou Kumogakure, who often spends his days in a run-down apartment with no motivation to do much of anything. Some might consider him a useless vagrant who does nothing but steal beer from his neighbor. Nevertheless, the 17-year-old loser might actually be more dangerous than his demeanor suggests. Kurou's hidden potential is put to the test when he is given a new mission to infiltrate a local high school, but there is more to this assignment than he could ever predict.

Under Ninja is an anime watcher's anime. If you have a lot of exposure to anime and have gotten tired of seeing the same tropes and narratives over and over, this is your anime. It's truly unlikely anything else, and it scratches that novelty-seeking itch.

Something you'll notice about users who give this a low score is that they are newer accounts, and probably joined MAL during COVID.

These newcomers have little exposure to anime, which is practically a prerequisite to be able to appreciate Under Ninja's subversion to anything and everything previously established within the world of anime and manga. Newcomers can't know what's being subverted ...

Mixed Feelings
This Anime felt like a comedy to me with the abusrd things that kept happening and the poor animation quality. I continued to watch it because i found it funny, However the last few episodes are just absurd and not funny anymore. The last episode in particular is one of the most insane episdoes ive ever seen of anime. The show seems self aware in how absurd it is at first and thats what made it feel like a comedy but the last episode is simply insane and tries to add in multiple unexplained plot points at the last moment that it was no longer ...

This anime show was like a roller coaster. However, this roller coaster seemed to only go downhill. At first I noticed a familiar style of drawing the characters. I was not wrong. The author of the original manga was Kengo Hanazawa. His manga 'I am a hero' brought me many positive emotions at the time. That is why I started watching UN with high expectations.
But, there are always 'buts'. With each subsequent episode, my expectations for this show went lower and lower.
What I thought was a kind of meta-ironic humor, which is only gaining momentum and will be revealed in the future, turned out ...
