Preliminary (10/24 eps)
I very rarely review a show before I've watched the entire thing but I need to get my thoughts about Ninja Neet out there as I consider this to be a bad anime. At the time of writing this, 10/24 episodes has released and out of all 10 so far, only 1 of them has been pretty good in my eyes. The rest have been pretty ass.

I may be slightly biased as I don't like Ecchi / Hentai shows - The only 2 that I have watched and enjoyed was Sora no Otoshimono and Highschool DxD, but the last time I watched those shows I was a loser virgin back in Highschool. I feel watching them nowadays I wouldn't enjoy them nearly as much. Ninja Neet however, has just been nothing but forced fan service. MAL advertises it as a Rom/Com/Supernatural. This is why I picked it up as that is primarily what I'm interested in. However, it hasn't really been anything like that and I really feel like MAL needs to add an Ecchi tab to it.

The concept of this show is also fucking stupid. The combo of being both a powerful Ninja but also a Neet that likes to stay in all day playing games and watching anime is not a combination that bodes well in my eyes. Imagine if Naruto did that. It wouldn't have been a good balance at all. The few times they show monsters on screen, the fight it over in like 5 seconds. There's nothing to get excited about as one of the core mechanics of the anime isn't even really utilized. It's basically One Punch Man if he was a big boobed loser. I feel like Rom/Coms and Supernatural anime do mix well, if it's done right and this is a piss poor example of both categories.

The characters: Ayame is just horny and fucking annoying, Shizuri is ok? She's been more tolerable than annoying which is good since she's one of the main cast, I like Hina but she's a bit too lovey dovey with her partner. It just gets a bit much at times and Tsukasa is about as Vanilla as you can get. Character designs are quite nice, nothing crazy but I like them. Animation is ok for the most part. Sometimes it feels jarring to watch.

In Ninja Neet, there has only been one episode that I've really enjoyed so far and that's the one with Tsukasa and Shizuri going on a "date" to go shopping for a new PC as it's the first proper time it has actually felt like a Rom Com. The scene with Tsukasa defending Shizuri when his friends were shit talking her felt sweet and genuine. Whilst she's feeling like a burden, he's seeing a different perspective. That has been the only episode I've liked. The rest has been nothing but a slog to get through. I've never had to pause an anime mid episode to take a break until now. Personally, if you haven't seen this anime yet, I wouldn't recommend it unless you like pretty directionless plots (if you can even call it that), ecchi and low tier humor.

2/10 (might go lower depending on how the rest of the anime pans out)
