@RizanEx_yc I don't know where did you get that I was thinking 100% of what was said was true.
I was citing the meme of "16yo in anime" that usually compares both lolis and JoJo characters.

The spoiler was unnecessary, this was ep 1 but I guess some people needs to say "I'm a source reader" to feel better.


Don't worry, I don't care about a spoiler about a series I started on a whim and have 0 attachment.
@CorbanEsp ahh, i'm sorry, my bad

The opening song was good and the visuals and the art style was good and nice world setting, let's see what happens next.

What the actual fuck?

The storytelling of the manga is already layered af as is; often in a good and interesting way, but it still takes quite some effort to follow. There was no need to mix it up further by shuffling bits from the first 10 or so chapters around (only to cut up 20 story puzzle pieces into 100).

Also, may I say that I don't like the animation? And I don't mean the CGIness of it. The quality sucks. While the backgrounds are kind of nice, the characters look crappy and everything in motion sucks ass. Where the manga shows off like crazy - characters/details, basically anything in motion like parcour stuff, fighting, absolutely insane sword play ... (it looks all so frickin good in the manga, animated even (no, really!)) - the bits of it that could be seen in the first episode look just weird, clunky and wrong.

Kind of disappointing ...

weird to complain when theres not a single shot that uses cgi outside of the op.
what you ARE seeing is character animation standing out from the backgrounds artstyle

You just picked out that one thing (as a supposed complaint) that I didn't complain about.

Wow, this really got me hook like and sinker in the first episode. The opening scene threw me off a little, but I knew the whole show wouldn’t be CGI like that, it was a cool scene too and the English was actually some of the best I’ve ever heard in anime lol. But afterwards the actual show starts, and I really liked what I saw. Based on all the information we got, I can’t tell if we’re seeing actual ninjas or if this is all make believe but I love the thin line between the two so far.

And our MC Kuro has an interesting life looks like, the apartment he lives in has some hidden compartments where he can go between rooms and he has a unique relationship with his neighbor lol, I really enjoyed the entire bit between the two of them. And after seeing that flashback, we went back to the present only to get thrown into another flashback where I’m guessing we get to see Kuro deal with this ninja obsessed foreigner, the history thrown in there was cool too, not sure if it’s all true but it has me interested in looking into it now lol, definitely a part of World War 2 that isn’t focused on a lot.

And both the OP and ED were very good, I especially loved the ED song and its visuals, it honestly reminds me of old school anime, perhaps one of my favorites of the season already. I really hate that I had to move this show so far away from the day it actually comes out on but I’ll be here eventually every week because this slapped imo.

Edit after reading other posts: wow this thread is kinda disappointing lol, but it’s what expected too. Also surprised some people thought the English was bad in the first scene, I don’t think you’ve heard bad English if you thought that was bad, but it was just one scene after all so it’s not a big deal.

Liking it very much. I though this season I wouldn't be able to watch anything interesting. I really have to be careful not to give too much credit to MAL score, because this for me is like an 8.5/10 for now.

This episode was funny, over the top with that fart dart but funny overall. I kept waiting for the one on one ninja fight but it just built up to it. The fights will seal it for me. Waiting for ep 2

The concept of this anime is very interesting, since it's an original and more realistic turn of the idea of ninjas. However, the beginning was slow and the characters felt off. Will keep watching tho.

Who was the genius that decided to cut the episode like that?
Completely breaks the flow of the story, just follow the manga and you're golden.

Recap

Introduction to Kuro, a 17-year-old "ninja" who usually lazes around in his apartment. He's on a mission to go undercover in a high school and take down enemy forces.

It's a funny show and I like the animation.

Well that was terrible. That opening minute alone was enough to make me hate it, and it only got worse as I made it further into the episode. I don't like the OP, the characters, and not a fan of the art style, or whatever plot this might tell in the next couple of episodes. It looks awful.

I can't be the only one who thought the MC was an adult right? He looks older than his age, he's' supposed to be 17 💀

The amount of cringe I felt watching this one episode, and I'm not someone who even uses the word 'cringe'. Dropping this one here and not looking back LOL
