as previously stated first few eps were good, story got lost in transition after that, they kept the shinrabansho thing a secret from the audience for too long and i easily lost interest....its a damn shame they stuck with yoite, the plot they laid out in the beginning was so much better at the onset then simply turning focus to one person's wish....fight scenes were all cliched, not a single fight were the "good" guys even a match for the "bad" guys, and they end up getting a miracle save by some random person (why must action animes use this so often!?!?)....after the shinrabansho was finally explained the ending was pretty good...but damage was done...6/10....so much potential yet wasted on this piece of work...one final point....for a ninja anime, aside being set in the modern day, the ninjas using guns and samurai ninja touches were a bad idea

I was two inches from dropping these series..but then Yoite's story and the shinrabanshou thing kept me hooked.
I was really disappointed with the quality of the story, it was promising but then it all became about two boys who shared a personnality trait ..

I really enjoyed the light atmosphere in the end..and Yoite's disappearance made me a bit emotional.
But what the hell is up with him becoming an old granny towards the end ?

Mah..5 or 6 / 10 for this anime.

I liked this series, if I could I would give 7.5/10, so it's 7/10. Anyways it was worth my time but I don't think that I would ever rewatch it.
My only problem was that the characters were not so memorable, I might only remember Yoite and his friend [not even his name](Miharu).
To be fair I loved the characters almost all of them, Yoite; Miharu; Aizawa; Thobari; Raimei and Raikou; Kazuhiko; Oda Yae; Amatatsu; Hanabusa "Hana" Seki; and Fuuma.
Don't get confused I don't remember all of their names, took it from the characters list. But these are the ones I liked, and no it's not that I didn't like Gau but somehow he does not fit in here..

the anime overall wasn't scripted right all the way, even tho i have to give 9/10 for animation , 10/10 for voice acting & Finally a 11/10 for music it was fabulous and well made, the ending was so sad with that background music it felt like a drama in my heart..

What's a sad end for Yoite. But he's died happy, and peaceful, and it's was inevitable.
Very sentimental, this manga is beautiful, but I regret that the rythm wasn't more dynamic by moments, and that the ninja's fights weren't more impressive. But the scenario stay attaching.
8/10 !

Such a waste. Boring as hell. Stupid story. I can see why girls like this. It had good characters, though.

5/10

The best part about this show was Fuma-dono... I so want to know more about him!

The rest was just ... blah. And this is coming from a crazed yaoi / BL fangirl who actually genuinely enjoyed Monochrome Factor.

It had potential and was fun at the beginning, but after the first few episodes I lost all contact with any type of feeling for the characters - there was no development, just things happening _to_ them and them angsting about it.

It quickly became irritating, repetitive, and then felt like a lifetime movie at the end. Ew.

I'm so conflicted, I don't even know what to rate it. Don't get me wrong, I loved the anime, the colors, the story, the characters, the relationships, the music (oh god, the music...), but the end is so sad, it hurts.

I've seen myself in Yoite. His wish, "I don't want to die... I just want so it'll be like I never was", hit straight home. I thought Miharu is gonna save him. Deep down, everyone wants to be needed, everyone wants to be saved...

In the end, what was the point of everything? Thobari was way weaker than I thought he will be. He hasn't done a single thing. Fuma... I expected him to be more involved. Aizawa... I expected him to be much much stronger, considering that he can't be killed. And Miharu... What's the point in having such powers if you're not gonna use them? The one I really loved was Yoite (but I'm biased I guess).

I really hoped this would end differently. Such powers... I mean, after all, Miharu's wishes weren't that selfish. I expected him to give Aizawa mortality. I expected him to give Gau and Raimei Raikou back. I mean, those two brothers just got back together. I expected he would give Yoite his forgiveness (but in the end, he achieved that on his own). And I expected he would grant his own wish and he would save Yoite.

I didn't like how they've thrown the fact that Yoite can actually save people with his abilities, and they didn't do anything with it. I know that he thought that he doesn't deserve to live, but if Miharu would've cured him, he could have worked at the hospital or something, with the harder cases. That could've worked better for his own forgiveness.

This anime affected me too much. I don't even know anymore if the end it's happy-sad or sad-sad. It's bittersweet...

The main things I remember from this show are "I want to be loved," "I want to disappear," and that one girl that used a slingshot as a weapon. It started off on an okay footing, but I'm not exactly sure what the show was trying to do throughout the second half. Also, if random episodes were shown to me out of context, I probably wouldn't have guessed that this show had anything to do with ninjas. Still, it was a rather...unique experience that I don't regret. It helped me realize that I need to build tolerance against this kind of character drama.

Hmm we still don't know much about the characters and the whole backstory tbh. The ending was too simple.

It takes more than 5 days to finish this anime, and it was only pure will because I did not want to leave it dropped:
Shounen-ai? Probably.
The dialogues were very simple and boring to follow. I was waiting for the furious war between the villages and instead I had to listen for hours on the "death, existence and meaning of life".

I thought it would be better when I saw the first episodes, the characters I liked and the plot of shinrabasou. But then it got weird and silly (When yoite appeared), this series was only about Yoite and his inner suffering.

Fuuma who is supposed to be a main character (maybe?) Does not play any role at all in the whole show, but still receives spotlighted as some kind of integral character.

Tobari was an inutilhime xD ..
And miharu ... has the voice of a girl, Arre. XD
... 6/10 just because I am generous and the almost originality of the characters I liked
-
Tarde mas de 5 días para terminar este anime, y fue solo a voluntad pura por que no quería dejarlo dropeado:
Shounen-ai? Probablemente.
Los diálogos eran muy sencillos y aburridos de seguir. Yo estaba esperando la guerra furiosa entre los pueblos y en su lugar tuve que escuchar durante horas sobre la "muerte, existencia y el significado de la vida".

Pensé que sería mejor cuando vi los primeros episodios, los personajes me gustaron y la trama del shinrabasou. Pero luego se puso extraño y tonto(Cuando apareció yoite), esta serie fue sólo acerca de Yoite y su sufrimiento interior.

Fuuma que se supone que es un personaje principal (¿tal vez?) No juega ningún papel en absoluto en todo el espectáculo, pero sigue recibiendo spotlighted(centro de atención) como algún tipo de carácter integral.

Tobari fue un inutilhime xD..
Y miharu... tiene la voz de una chica, Arre. xD
... 6/10 solo por que soy generoso y la casi originalidad de los personajes me gustaron

If I would describe the series it would be the anime with the most character regressions all the characters seem useless the sensei is weak and depends on others Aizawa is immortal but he is acting as whimp Miharu got the Shinrabansho but do not use it I hate when they make like Fate the holy grail is dangerous and must not be used then why did you put it in the plot in the first place overall 5/10 nice character designs but shitty plot

Well, we have reached the end.

This show started off great, but somewhere mid through the series, it declined. After the decline, things just got boring.

This series had potential (at highest, if this show kept its consistency, I would have given a 7). Overall, this series is either a 3 or 4 out of 10. Great background art though.
