Plot Summary

A high school loner is given the part-time job of a lifetime as a modern day ninja tasked to perform international assassinations.

After World War II, Allied Command in Japan developed a new agency to help manage terrorism and violence within the Pacific region. The agency was staffed with ninja and they were initially tasked to handle domestic affairs. Eventually that program grew to its current form, managing 20,000 ninja across a range of domestic and international affairs. One of those ninjas happens to be Kudo. The seventeen-year-old high school loser is now poised to be the next line of defense against a potential surge in foreign assassins invading Tokyo.

Woof. I didn't make it through the first episode. That opening was really bad.

I also couldn't make it through the first episode. I'm not sure if the show is taking itself too seriously, or it's doing that as a parody. Either way, I don't like it.

Episode 1

The English spoken in the prologue is pretty cool. But after that it was just bland, boring, and underwhelming. On top of that, the animation quality is atrocious, and unlike with My Home Hero that is done by the same studio that had a great story that made putting up with the terrible production values worth it, not so much with this show. No question this show won't make it as I was bored out of my mind.

@runec I almost dropped it in the first 2 minutes, but I think this could be a decent gag type show.

It almost reminded me of a less serious John Wick style underground

I see this didn't leave quite a good first impression on a lot of people-- I was looking forward to it :( I haven't seen it yet as it's nowhere to be found on the official streaming services available here. But if I keep seeing negative feedback for this for the next 6 episodes, I might just watch it wherever I can.

Oh yeah, this is definitely a comedy. Not a laugh out loud kind of show, but I still enjoyed it.

The leader from the other school randomly having face paint on was pretty funny.

@zkeleton Somewhat amusing yes, but a hard sell to get people watching a show that's 'funny, but not very'...

If it ramps up in the next couple then maybe but otherwise I don't think this is enough for me.

Finally got to watch the first episode. I'll say, I quite appreciate it, but I do agree this barely triggers any emotion when watching it-- aside from the MC blowing a dart through his arse, politely which made me laugh xD. It's definitely not Comedy but just using little bits of comical elements to add to the randomness.
It's like a mixture of aspects of Arakawa Under the Bridge, Cromartie High, and Dorohedoro but without the energy and comedy.

This seems like my cup of tea. I hope it doesn't end up doing random odd things just for the sake of it or it'll lose it's appeal to me.

at this point I am not sure if this show wants to be taken seriously, or if it wants to be a gag show.

It's silly and weird and I can see why some people might be bored by it, but I find it entertaining.

I don't normally enjoy this type of show, this one has managed to pull me in though. Undead Unluck may come off as crazy, but this is the real mentally disturbed child of the season. And sometimes it's just flat out hilarious.

This show had some funny moments, but the absolutely stupid moments with no explanation ended up overriding all of those

Didn't expect it to end that way.
