It was a great first episode, especially in terms of the dry humor it provides. However, why the hell the score is this low? I don’t really understand how people give ratings in MAL anymore. It wasn’t like this a few years ago.
| @Raiseii im sure most people turned it of the moment they saw the CGI soldiers talking broken engrishu and didn't get past that |
alshu said: This is a hilariously weird parody of everything related to ninjas including manga and foreigners going to Japan and doing some ridiculously fake "ninja certification" courses. I like its atmosphere of awkwardness. GensoTV said: same issue as with My Home Hero? Nothing in common. My Home Hero tried to be overly dramatic and dark, this thing here is a surrealistic comedy. That's not what I meant. My Home Hero had a good Story, but I'm talking about the Animations and such. It creeped me out in the Spring Season. |
| That Frieza analogy is unironically how I would judge too. Seems like a good season for bizarre anime lover. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| it was a good episode i was not sure with the animation at the begining but it's ok i want to see the next one... |

GensoTV said: My Home Hero had a good Story Not really, but this is only my opinion. GensoTV said: I'm talking about the Animations and such. Both shows look very differently. My Home Hero is almost decent and Under Ninja is quite ugly...but on purpose, it's all part of the joke. |

| Weird first episode yet intriguing. Beginning was rather bad. Engrish and 3d graphics, lol. The game / group thing makes no sense, but i did skip some parts Midway i was like maybe i should quit this but by the end it got me curious if that guy really is a 17-year old or not, lol. Also ninjas hidden within the society seems interesting Animation by the end was pretty okay imo. It was badly directed perhaps, but i might still watch next episode |

| After that opening scene I thought the whole anime was going to look like that, glad I was wrong. I have nothing against CGI and have no issues watching full-CGI anime (assuming it isn't completely unbearable), but that just caught me off guard. This was quite an interesting first episode. Obviously only being a single episode in, idk what to make of this so far. I'll stick it out and see where it ends up going. Raiseii said: Giving a show low score after not watching more than 2 minutes is dumb af. You're right, that IS dumb af but would honestly be quite on brand for MAL lmao. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| odd first episode, animation was pretty weak but I will keep watching. it sounds interesting. |
 |
| It's crazy that something like this got permission to be animated in this day and age. |
| My sides hurt laughing at the scene with the foreign guy. |

| i've been seeing the manga art around for a while but i decided not to read it until after the anime, but now i think i'm gonna start right after this episode because that looked way better and i'm quite interested. i like the art style here but the animation is not very good, the cg the beginning just threw me off lmao. i like the step-mom roleplay chick though and i also like how it changes the aspect ratio to feel like a movie. an alright start if we put visuals aside, think i'm gonna like it and i have some faith in it but even more in the manga. i also realized this is the same studio that's gonna be animating the fable, oh god noooooooooooo!! |
 |
| Looks promising, pretty unique, fire OP, good humor. CGI might be excusable. |
| That episode felt weird as hell. I'm not even sure why it felt so weird. Could have been the budget Ps3 CG soldiers at the beginning, the fart dart can shot, the ninja wall crawl over pooping woman, or possibly it was the opposing ganguro-themed "Rear-Enders" ninja group. Not sure what this show is about yet, but I will give it at least one or two more episodes out of pure curiosity. |
 |
| Such a bland aesthetic again, from Tezuka Productions, really not the biggest fan. At least it's a little quirky. |
| NINJAS!!!! HOLY FUCK!! EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH NINJAS! This anime looks like it's going to be shit, but it has NINJAS!! 🥷 |
 |
| Well, I don't know what the hell was that CGI in the beginning. Rest of the show felt like... ehh, kinda like My Home Hero style. Anime didn't sell me on the story at all. If anything, made it completely uninteresting. Probably one of the worst first episodes I've seen. Will be skipping this one. |
| Was interested in this show due to the cover, only to be disappointed by the trailer. However, the actual anime is way better than the trailer. Why would they put bad CGI in the trailer, when the show has well animated fighting scenes and such...? So far the show is looking really good. The only downside so far is the all over the place story telling which seems to be a bit like Durarara. Hopefully that wont be too bad though. |

Cut out the horrific opening minute and there you go:
-A unique style
-A silly, but fun, setting
-A DBZ reference
-Beer drinking with would-be-stepmom
-Lot's of gritty, situational comedy
I like :) This seems right up my alley and a good time for everyone who isn't too serious about watching/critiquing Anime
I think they should've ended the first episode with a banger, little fight scene, tho....for some more impact

| @Merve2Love Agree wholeheartedly with your points. This show seems to be an easygoing good laugh show but I can see it being downvoted to oblivion here on MAL because it doesn't really fit in with the popular taste of the day. As a side note, I was surprised by seeing an appearance by none other than General of the Armies Douglas McArthur. Very, very few manga/anime dare dive into that particular period of Japanese history or even refer to it in a short sketch. Kudos to the author. |

| The mc looks way older than his age. Well the show itself was kinda weird but surprisingly enjoyable and amusing to watch. Interested to see more because of ninja. |
 |
| Many of people doesn't understand the uniqueness, I personally like it so much. Weird and interesting show, laughed a lot while watching the first episode lol, will watch it till the end! |
 |
| This is kinda funny. Like one of those B-rated movies but in anime. I like it. |
| Well, let see how actual shinobis behave (hearing those words made me think of Naruto) in 2015 (70 years afeter WW2). I liked the animation and what was shown about the plot. It seems that our Kuro has nothing to do with his life until this point. He does look older than 17, tho. |
 |
| Why CG Bravo Team? That was a very weird episode at least it's interesting |

Giving a show low score after not watching more than 2 minutes is dumb af.
| @Raiseii it's not. 90% of anime quality is in the first few minutes. |
Yes, it is and you’re braindead for advocating the opposite. It is dumb to give score to a series that you haven’t even watched a single full episode. You can decide whether you want to watch it or not after the first two minutes, but giving ratings after the first few minutes is idiotic. |
daiotaku said: @Raiseii I think maybe a bunch of people looked at the first few seconds of CG and assumed it was going to be terrible and then just gave it a low rating, lol. TBH I thought it was going to be really bad, but actually it looks like it's going to be really good, just the "realistic" style Anime that I guess a lot of Shonen fanboys can't appreciate. You’re right, I got the same feeling in the introduction, yet I haven’t jumped into conclusions before watching at least a few minutes more and I really liked the rest of the episode. |
| 17yo in anime be like. Seriously, he looks like the typical mid-30s depressed guy. Aside of that, what a trip, I'm not sure if I'm enjoying it the correct way, but will stick with it for sure. The only complain I'll admit is the CG for the soldiers, but well, aside from that it was actually fairly well done. |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| This one was so weird, but very interesting the same time. I also like humor. Probably the true hidden gem this season. |
| This was one of the weirdest 1st episodes I ever seen. The animation was great! I felt bad for the old guy who had his drinks stolen. Solid start! |
 |
| The CGI was shit. I paused after the first 10 mins and read the manga just to take a peek but ended up reading the first volume. The art is better, hilarious dialogue that was lacking in the anime, and the pacing is better since it doesn’t chop things up. I’m not a fan of the anime art style. Unfortunately there’s only 2 volumes of the official english translation, so I’ll be keeping up with the show. |

| @CorbanEsp @CorbanEsp you think all ninjas there said truth? Much of them were lying. Kuro talked much lies in this first episode, even to Kawado. Kinda spoiler, but he is not the only child of his family. It's the story of Kumogakure |
