I think it's already very clear that this is not on the writing quality of Yamamoto-sensei's other works, but I'll have fun watching these dumb ninja girls and their 5heads throughout the season. It definitely helps that Cloverworks are animating it well: that brief fight scene was great.

Another show where the "jokes" I enjoyed the most were not the jokes at all, but when it absolutely slammed the screen with flowers to drive home how much of an innocent, unplucked virgin she is. The whole premise is hard to even wrap your head around. They have no idea what men are, but men are also wandering the forest about a five minute walk away, but also also they're really, really horny for them, and each other for that matter.

I guess if you're just here for horny girls ovulating all around, it's that, but there's not a whole ton else. It is better animated than it needs to be, though won't be making any highlight reels either.
The first half was definitely stronger than the second, at least serving as an introduction and over the top imagery was some kind of notable feature. More of an overall structure or plot to hold things together would have served it well because the second half was already into abject filler territory and the screamy side characters especially are more annoying than funny.

I feel like this would be great fun if it wasn't about men. A lot of good designs, a lot of fun characters, some fun animations too, but whenever "men" was on the topic, it just felt like an endless cycle of "I want to see a man" and "men are stinky and have weak groins" over and over and over.

I'm really like this so far, the world-building has been pretty intriguing without having any outright exposition dumps or anything of the like.

Though, there may be a lot of unnecessary "men-talk" thrown around- maybe it has a purpose? I couldn't say.

The "fight" was well crafted as well, looking forward to next week.

Great episode! Sazanka is a funny character xD. She seems to get in fights with anyone she sees lol. Though Tsubaki's teammates aren't and say they are disgusting, Tsubaki has taken an interest in men as well and desperately wants to see one xD.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Okay wow that was way more cutesy than I was expecting, honestly I thought this was going to be a disgusting loli show that’s super sexual but this seems nice, thank god! It’s from the creator of Takagi san I should’ve expected wholesomeness but still was scared that this was going to be beyond disgusting based on the main visual

Why are they constantly talking about men and saying the same things about them over and over ... when they literally never have to deal with them? Literally doesn't make sense.

Not really feeling it. The misandry based humor was way too repetitive. I think the one girl made the same "men don't take baths" comment five times. I'll give it one more episode to see if there's any improvement.

Hey another Anime from CloverWorks, they really did Anime in every season huh...

Big Forehead is back, it's interesting to see what Takagi-san Author bring this time.

lot of cute little girl doing Ninja thing. it's Adorable.
Jutsu Animation looks pretty good too.

no wonder Mokuren sounds so familiar, it's Shinju Inui from My Dress-Up Darling.

Tsubaki really down bad huh, i mean i bet on the other side there must be one male that feeling the same as well.

Was totally jazzed when I heard this was getting an anime and now it's here already, haya!

I just love shows that feature large ensembles of characters (Girls & Panzer, Saki, Kancolle, etc.) and the variety of costumes, personalities, ages, body-types, etc. etc. in Kunoichi is already a joy after just one episode. I'm already a big fan of Souichirou's other works and cute character designs.

Can't wait to properly meet so many of the characters: Benisumomo, the Snake squad duo, Mukuren, Rindou, Hinagiku, Hana & Konoha sensei just to name a few.

So far the voice acting doesn't match the talent found in Takagi-san but it's too early to make a proper judgement yet. Hopefully there will be a few stand-outs.

Plot-wise it's really just an episodic SoL/Comedy featuring, in this case, a village of silly ninja girls in-training but with so many squads and personalities there's no shortage of comedic possibilities. The costuming and lush outdoor/village setting is also a refreshing change from middle/high-school settings and the sameness of school uniforms.

Can't wait to see the rest of the episodes.

Well, this seems like a fun chill 5head show. Though it's definitely gonna get old quick if they just repeat the men jokes. Hope we get more variety, some action scenes too here and there like in this episode. So the ninja skills here works like Naruto, nice lmao.

Oh yeah, that's what men had in that way. Tsubaki actually already thinking that out. What a true bad girl....

Anyway another moeshit of the season, and its about all kunoichi village and one big 4head named Tsubaki.

Curiosity killed the cat in a literal meaning, but on Tsubaki-chan case, its strengthened her more, with her cuteness.

Curious how they played it out all in a one season span time. But i can see this as my usual turns my monkey brain off and enjoy girl eating other girl ears and then trying to figure out how men looks like in an adorable way.

As jaded as its may ended up, as long as its cute girls doin ninja thing, why not, right? I am kinda like that for sure....

With other shows airing this season I'm glad I decided to check this one out and I was not disappointed instead it was really good.

The male jokes which were repetitive to me was understandable considering they haven't even seen a man and lol they aren't exactly wrong but overall the production of this show was really good especially considering how many shows cloverworks has coming this year.

Tsubaki and the other characters were so cute and funny plus tsubaki panicking and flustered upon hearing the word men in abdomen was really funny, the chase scene was so good that I for real thought is it really cloverworks even though out of the 3 shows they put last season 2 were really good.

If they keep this up I think I'm going to really enjoy this show.

Hope the production of this show doesn't come crashing down.

So.... I'm confused.

Could someone explain to me how the MC can be romantically interested in men when she hasn't ever seen a man before, and is constantly reminded about their danger?

I understand kids being curious about forbidden things, but romantic interest? That doesn't make sense to me.

It all just seems weirdly forcedly heteronormative.

Dude, this is supposed to be chill/comedy show and her being interested in men, even though she hasn't seen one, is the entire premise!!! - This is something the story is saying you should accept without questions. I think we should not think about certain things too seriously, otherwise there's no point in watching unserious comedy show because you won't enjoy it - because duh... unserious stuff often makes no sense and irritates people. I mean look at this statement: "weirdly forcedly heteronormative" - The show is made by the same author as Takagi. I don't think there are any hidden messages and ulterior motives and shit. The author just made a fiction-comedy where a girl who hasn't seen men is interested in men, the end.

I'm not saying every show ever has to make perfect sense, and I like plenty of silly shows. To me it just would make a lot more sense if this was a yuri show or something, since literally no one in the clan has ever seen a man. I'll obviously eat my words if the MC has seen a man before, which might have been hinted at by the dream sequence.

This manga being adapted into anime is already questionable.

Maybe it's just because it has the same author as Takagi-san.

Whoever found this story relatable in this era is very impressive.

Oh, the joke is already sounds so repetitive. I hope they won't use the same certain dialog for next episode.

Compared to Takagi-San, this series from the same creator feels vastly different while keeping to the same designs that I really like. =)

Considering the way these girls have been raised, I can understand as to why the "Men" jokes were used to the point of repetition very quickly, hence why other moments with Tsubaki and her goofball companions brought out the best laughs of the episode from me.

Speaking of which, Tsubaki is really cute with how she's curious to find out in what a man actually looks like. The production values from Cloverworks are clean and smooth, both for the action scenes as well as the comedic scenes, too.

Overall, this was a good start and I look forward to more funny moments with Tsubaki and her team. =3

I really liked this, I’m a bit late to it because my Saturdays are already packed, so I moved it to Sunday, and boy was this worth it, cute ninja girls doing cute things with the Takagi-San art style? That’s something to love.

I’m already liking the plot, seeing Tsubaki so fixated on seeing a man is both cute and intriguing, it really makes me want to see her actually see a man lol, and the cast here is great, lots of cute ninja girls with unique personalities and character designs. Also love to see something besides Takagi-san get an anime by this author, I love that series and can already see myself loving this.

Really looking forward to more of this, this is gonna be a nice wholesome (also cute and funny) Sunday for me, and wow I loved that ED, nice song and really nice art, that’s a potential ED of the season for me.

Another decent first episode with this, although nothing impressive. A relatively weaker production from CW. I guess Bocchi the Rock is getting the freelancers because of Umehara. The designs are easily recognizable, they did a good job adapting. I was expecting this to be a serious anime but rather this rather turned out to be a CGDCT.

Really liked this first episode, forgot which studio was animating it so I was surprised at how crisp it's animation was. You could've just sold it to me with loli ninjas lmao. Interested in seeing where it goes though, whether we stay cute girls doing cute things, or if Tsubaki can make contact with the "men". I'm rooting for her, I want to see what "men" are like as well, the mystery is killing me.
