I'm morbidly curious how low this show will drop, this just seems so lifeless.

I know, right ? Right now it has 44k people watching and over 4k dropped, almost 10% ratio. Way higher than any other seasonal show at least i have picked.
The only slightly interesting plot is the OP uncle playing games with the Bureau chick. The MC and his school buddies really feel like you said lifeless. Or you could call it constructed, since it has no natural flow to it.
I'm not reading any replies or comments directed at me at all. I know my truth and if you disagree: that's fine but i couldn't give a damn about :)

For real one of the worst animes I've ever seen in my life. Rant over, it's just every new episode makes me more confused and angry.


If this is between the worst you have seen… I totally agree, it's hard to find this level of stupid plots wholes and plot armor at the same time.

Although there is also a lot more of trash out there... (sigh)

Truth, there is a lot of trash out there but man at least some of the bad trah can have something redeeming about it. this has nothing original, interesting or fun about it.

No joke all of us in my group are just watching it to either make fun of it or rage at it. lol that's the only entertainment it gives us.

I don't know why more people aren't talking about this. that was one of the things that again is pissing me off. They put this huge hook out there where she is saying no one else is going to have disguise type Ninja tools and they happen to have the same exact one she gave him....... and no one's going to ask her about that!....


Hey Buddy! I was going message you to see watching. Anywho... Every point you made me cringe almost as bad as it did when I saw it. At this point I'm just rubber neckin' cuz this show is a disaster. I'm still trying to figure out why a ninja clan/village would agree to be led by a non-ninja. That was my first huh moment and they just keep rolling in. The only reason I watch is it gets posred in my moment of boredom.

It's not the worst I've seen, but it's far from the best. Oh and keep you testes far away from cancer causing agents. Go commando once in a while. ventilation!

hahaha bro what's up, yeah long time no talk but what can we do. we meet in the threads!

yeah good point about the clan head not being a ninja when even last episode they again talked about how kotetsu can't be the head cause of how much they value blood.

just bad but yeah basically here for the rage and making fun of it.

we will speak again no worries and I'll be careful with the cancer agents and vent when possible! hahaha

If the mask was prototype, what are the Koga doing with it?


Obvious: Ryouko is also with the Koga…


This series should have been about Tokisada and his investigation instead of Ittoki being a pathetic MC with plot armor. (sigh)

yeah bro it's pretty obvious something is up and then they also show blonde girl is with them.....so ok everyone sucks and is betraying MC.
No joke I wouldn't be surprised by now if kotetsu is the one that's the spy in the Iga clan.

But More than showing us the prototype mask and everything. is the fact that no one in the show kotetsu or MC say anything about it......dumb

I had a nightmare: At the very end all these traitors are double agents that save the pathetic MC in the last episode, with a Deus ex machina, I mean, power up with the Iga core (that surely was inside him from the very beginning).

I'm so depressed now… (sigh)

How do you find the drop rate? Or had you already noted how many were watching before the fall?

The drop rate can be found in the Shinobi stats page, it's 10% which is wild.

This whole guilt-by-association thing is really starting to piss me off. If a drunk driver barreling down a school zone and murdered my family by going double the speed limit, I would blame and wish death upon the drunk driver himself, not his family...(unless they tried to bail him out or get a lesser slap-on-the-wrist-sentence, then that's another story). But here, I'm sure the Koga son can clearly just how incompetent of a "ninja" Itoki is, let alone knowing the prior background info they must have on him already where he was a nobody. So to have that much blind rage really makes him look like quite the asinine numbskull.

Since they showed the dead leader being experimented on, I guess being totally dead is off the table? I wonder if we'll see the crazy bitch Satomi Tsubaki come back after her "suicide", with something like cloning tech. That would really be an interesting take, a sci-fi approach to "shadow clones".

I think the only saving grace of this is the deception techniques, betrayals, switching sides/double crossing near the end of episode; a staple of a the ninja subgengre, as cliched as it is. That, and Tokisada being a badass. Seems like this should have been his show instead, and have it tell how he got to be the badass that he is today, selling souvenirs by day, unraveling grand conspiracies by night. My bad habit of shipping characters is happening again; I'm already shipping Tokisada with the slightly clumsy short-haired cutie that failed tailing him in the air ducts, but is trying her best.

As others have pointed out, the "talk no jutsu" during the practical exam was cliche as well, but fitting, I suppose, since this is a ninja series after all.

I'm curious about where the hell the Koga students got the unreleased camo masks though. Is Itoki and friends not concerned about that as well?

My score went from a 9 in the first fresh episode, to a 6 after I had enough of this episode. But it's a time waster until better shows come out. Or who knows, maybe this is just a slow start and will get better later, but I'm not holding my breath.

Like Smudy said, every entry on MAL has a statistics page. Having a 10% dropped / watched ratio before even reaching the halfway point is crazy bad.
For comparison: Sword Reincarnation, which is a very generic isekai but has a cute execution, has 2.1k dropped vs 70.6k watching = 3% drop ratio.

Why does it feel like people are putting the MC in a catch 22? He's thrown into this school with zero training or instruction and he's expected to just be strong in a short span of time or else he's a shit MC. You can't just throw a bunch of random people into a war zone with zero equipment and training and just expect them to be on par with trained soldiers. Their first instinct would be of course to survive. There's a lot of people to blame like his mother not telling him about this or properly training him, or Kousetsu leaving him in the dust, but people just pile the blame on the MC. Think of it like if you were forcibly thrown into a class where you haven't learned its prerequisites yet, people are ignoring you when you try to ask for help, and no matter how much study you try to do, you still fail.

It takes 5 episodes, 5, for the protagonist's story to become genuinely interesting. This show has been so plot-driven that it only now did it give a nice character moment to Ittoki in which he truly about what it means to be a ninja. Had the show done this from the beginning, it would have been more interesting, but now that it's about to pass the halfway mark, I seriously doubt how it can tell a more interesting story, especially because it seems to be rushing through its plotlines and neglecting character development.

this show is not good. the mc is not likeable. they're not a bad person but they're just lame af and ignorant to everything going on around him. the only interesting aspect to this show is the uncle (and the two village chiefs deaths) and they're just slowly drip-feeding us that storyline

Kekw they nailed it with the speech. But still looks like need more than that to touch his heart,eh? So the traitor was found out but the real betrayal still become the issue for Ittoki after that revelation. Ofc the next will be about another fanservice, if its right, and be more revelation if they care much about its importance to the plot. But actually its no more, if you know what i mean.

All in all, let's get to the next episode already...

Was this really the best ambush attack Ittoki could come up with?



Then he spends the rest of the exam running away from the red haired douche, which was a sorry sight.

Blonde girl was also a spy, apparently.
