| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The raw was released a few hours ago and even though its pretty much against my principles to watch the raw (because I normally have no clue what they are saying for the most part), after reading the first few chapters of the manga, something inside of me really needed to confirm the quality of the anime. It seems they deviated a little bit from the manga in terms of what actually happens in the beginning. Though it wasn't unexpected, I was hoping for a tad bit more strict adaptation. I also found some of the comedy seen in the manga lacking a little in the first episode. But again, since it was only one episode, I'm not too worried about that right now. What really impressed me were the action sequences. They were nicely done, fast paced, detailed and exciting to watch. Although they were pretty short in this episode, its leaves me with a promising feeling that they'll handle the bigger ones well down the road. |

| I want subs! (I'm not gonna watch the raw, since it really would be pointless for me for I would understand hardly any of it.) |

| I liked it. It had good laughs, fast-paced action. This look like an Alright show. Hope to see more later on... |
 |
| 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. They did indeed deviate a bit from the manga... can't say I liked the fact much, but I can't say the deviation was bad either. I'd say a plus on the action sequences and a minus on the comedy scenes. They were not as hilarious has in the manga. Overall I liked it a lot, looking forward to see how they'll handle the next one. On a side note, I also had a "revelation" to who the guy in helping Miharu in the beginning is. I had got the wrong impression from the manga but about that, but it seems logical now... |

| I want subs so I know what's going on. :( I never read the manga, unfortunately. I really like the animation and fight scenes. Voice acting is OK so far. I'm hoping this turns into a great ninja themed anime. The world is lacking on those. ;D |
  |
| I like it. Lots of action and some comedy, looking forward to the next episode. |
     |
| no problems with the animation, it is J.C. Staff afterall. But I can't say this is a good one, tbh, it wasn't directed well imo, but i'll keep watching just in case i'm wrong |
| love the opening theme! very catchy tune. enough action in the first episode but not overwhelmed with information. can't wait till the next episode! |
 |
| raw is to hard for me lol but the drawing style is what I like about thise anime reminds me of code geass cant wait to see it ^^ |
| “If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. If you don’t fight, you can’t win.” |
| The sub is out and I just watched it. Pretty average anime with a lot of badly-animated action scenes and some random shonen characters.The opening/ending are cool though, and it could be interesting to watch if I wanted to add some lesser animes to my watching list, but I already have more or less 12 series for this spring, so... Too bad, but I won't give it a chance. Dropped : 6/10. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Pretty good. The action scenes were pretty nice and I enjoyed some of the humor in it. |
 |
| Yeah, it was pretty awesome, definetly one of the better series this season Looking forward to more |

| Dude sounds like a chick. Overall it's pretty average, nothing to special, but I'll stick around because what little fights there were were good. |
    Sam is my sweet peach |
| It was nothing special, the animation was so-so along with the voice casting. But I guess I'll be watching it anyways. |
| Naruto's got nothing on this ninjutsu:P Well I really enjoyed this episode, it had nice fight scenes and I liked the animation style, and Rokujo has a pretty weird but funny personality, anyways I wasn't disappointed, I'm really looking forward to more of this series^_^ |
 |
| Decent first episode. The backgrounds were gorgeous. My only problem are the walking skeletons. How could someone walk with those legs?! o_o |
  |
| Yeah, the guys got really funy legs^^ I really enjoyed the first episode, hope for much more of this action! |
 |
| It was decent. I'll give it a couple episodes before I decide to keep it or not. It definitely has potential. Kugimiya Rie as Miharu ftw. |
     |
| 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. |
| <img src="http://myanimelist.net/signature/Laenatar.png"; border="0" alt="Laenatar.png" /> |
| 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... |
