| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I'm really impressed with the beginning. We have a dramatical Romeo+Juliet storyline, passed from grandparents to grandchildren; a misanthrope soegun, non-caring if people will die to choose his successor (kinda joking, because I can see that if his grandsons try to decide it by themselves, the whole country will be divided in two parts and sink in blood); two guys (may be more will come in the next episodes) with unique martial arts. The animation appeals to me greatly, and the plot seems interesting too. So... I'm enjoying it =) |

| It made me laugh, I'd say that much. |

| The Kouga Clan and the Iga Clan can be compared to the ruling coaltion and the opposition parties of the Diet as of now. Both sides seek to eliminate the other, whether it be just or unjust; it's all the same and doesn't matter. |

| This episode was far better than what I expected.Art ,animation awesome and music was fitting.Overall impressive.Lets see if they can maintain this level. |
| this series uses the same names and same premise as the movie, Shinobi. Not sure which came first but very good first episode. |

| Wonderful but sad start. :( |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I can already tell this is going to be super fast paced. It had some nice action though. |
| Wow, can't remember any show with such a powerful start. So much action and it's just the first episode. |
 |
| Too many difficult names. |
| It wasn't too bad. It seems like some awesome techniques are gonna get demonstrated in this show, which I like. I didn't expect the geezers to take advantage of the guard let downs, though it seemed obviously logical. |
  |
| Hard to keep up with the names, but other than that what I expected. There will be a lot of death in this show for sure. I liked the Romeo & Juliet story and I hope there's more of that later on. Boy do anime babes sure age badly. Grandma Iga surely showed her age there. |

Farabeuf said: Boy do anime babes sure age badly. Grandma Iga surely showed her age there. Indeed. Only 33 years have passed since that flashback. Yikes. |
 |
| Interesting start but I am also having trouble remembering the names of the characters. Lots of people were introduced in just the first episode |
| It was so sad that they had to kill each other :( |
| Beautiful darkish intro and op i have high expectation of this ninja anime . They both DIED as a lovers(cute) |
 |
| The ending surprised me a little after the flashback was shown, I thought for sure they would do something to end this long standing rivalry between the Kouga and Iga, but to no avail I suppose. I might be making a wild statement, but I swear that animation was Production I.G. level. ;o Anyway, promising start so far. |

| I have only one problem with this. Why didn't I watch this earlier. Wicked. |
| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| Why do the men look like they are hybrid aliens but the women look normal? It was bugging me too much. |
 |
| Wow, talk about an excellent start. How did I miss this gem for so long? Can't wait to watch the rest of this show. |
 |
| Looks like another pretentious teen anime with blood as excuse for 18+ rating, because this is how childish bullshit become adult "serious" anime in our times. Mutants - check, ninjas - check, simplistic plot - check, predictability - check, is it ninja-turtles? No way, because also we have here pseudo-historic setting, caricature on traditional japanese music and dull opening scene with snake and eagle just like from some spaghetti-western from 50s. |
| A bit confused with all these names. And the only two people's names I remember are both dead now so...was that ending supposed to mean something to me |
| Well, I feel sorry for the grandchildren we saw at the end because I have a feeling it's going to be even worse than it was for Danjo and Ogen. |
| I remember watching this when I was about 12-ish... but didn't get to finish the series. I think now is a good time to watch it fully! It's hard to keep up with the names, so I'm watching it subbed. Definitely a must see if you want Romeo and Juliet but with superpower ninjas? Yashamaru was good looking until the haircut lol |
 |
| wowow well that was a remarkable first episode.. I had to it replay to find hints and clear up names. Fate can be cruel at times but it looks like the third generation is going to get a chance to break the curse(? |
 |
| Great start. Loved the art, the music and the action. |
| I was wondering what the fuck was going on, then I realised it was a flashback. What a pain. A lot of exposition in the form of various clan and family names that are hard to remember. That said, I'm sure context will provide more memorability to these surnames. |
