Takagi-san mangaka Soichiro Yamamoto REALLY has no chill. This is the 2nd of his 3 series airing this year (Soredemo Ayumu coming in Summer), and the Forehead Cinematic Universe prolongs a bit further. CloverWorks is back, though not as worse as Winter.

The Akane Class of all-female young kunoichi a.k.a ninja in-training, and the Aoi Class of all-men kunoichi whom the females abhor, you know where this is all going if Takagi-san is of any know-how. And this mission befalls to Team Dog's leader Tsubaki (Maou Gakuin's Sasha) to bring back some of the young-uns Asagao and Sazanka whom escaped to interact with men. Misandry the Animation, so to speak.

Try as they might, both young-uns can't keep up with Tsubaki, but even worse is that she WANTS to see the boys to know more about them, and this falls in line with Asagao and Sazanka's original objective. Though that meeting was all a dream...or was it?

Obviously, everyone wants in on the news, and this causes Tsubaki to lose focus the more she thinks about it, or even when someone simply mentions about the word "men". And Asagao pinning this on their usual ninja and Jutsu transformation practices while Sazanka does the ear-whispering, this is infatuation gone out of control.

I'd be interested to see what makes this tick since this is outside Soichiro Yamamoto's universe of Takagi-san.

Honestly the main is way to innocent tho it's funny to watch i hope see will see a men soon because what's currently happening doesn't seem to be good for her.
Even tho it's just puberty.
Anyway i wonder what the probably is of the adults, there are lots of children around so they must have interacted with men which makes me wonder why they hate them so much.

The men jokes are all over the place in this show lol

I've read the manga before and it seems the anime maintains that sort of comedy gag for the first episode. Lot of characters introduced too so it may take some time to remember their names.

Nothing too special so far but I'm find it to be a cute and charming anime.

Ehh, the shit is cute and all but ... is the a reason why is this all female clan so separated from the other clans (from the male ones) because they are bad at being ninjas and spend all their days doing ... well, nothing ? lmao

Anyway, is this like a belly worshipping anime ? Also im a big fan of those ninja dialogues in mid air.

Okay so can i presume it's the same situation on the other side, that is in male clan too, the keenness to know about their female counterparts. Anyways someone just please let them know it's not just boys who reek of sweat.

It was very well directed. Let's see how it will be developed (there is the risk the men's jokes got too repetitive and I hope they develop some of their characters and their interactions).

I just seen the further lolification of a loli, wth. Tsubaki is way too pure and her infatuation with men may interfere with her training and her studies more than it is now if she doesn't talk to one or snap out of it entirely.

Sazanka is absolutely adorable.

Misandry, the anime. See you next week.
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load.

Asagao best girl, what I don't really know is how is this show going to progress, it is going to be a bunch of misunderstandings or there will be an actual love interest at one point, reminds of Love Lab and I did enjoy it but honestly at my inner bad otaku mode came out and lost interest when they showed actual boys.

I was completely unaware this was getting an anime. I love the artist's work, and I always found Tsubaki to be insanely cute. So I'm thrilled to see this getting animated.

It was so charming and cute! The animated was great and as expected, the art is really attractive. The music was also terrific with the use of a lot of Japanese instruments.

As a guy, I find their conceptions about us funny and entertaining. I'm excited to see if they actually do end up meeting a guy or not.

Overall, a really great first episode.

There's no need to look up the mangaka to see whose character designs these are xD Very different from his other series and unfortunately again nothing that immediately made me think "wow". It's decent fun, tho. Let's see if the the next episodes make me want to stick with it.

TSUBAKI'S DOWN BAD

So the next entry in the forehead-trifecta is indeed very different from Takagi-san. Clover Works is behind the wheel for this one, and as expected, it looks clean.

I really liked it, but am not going to hold my breath. There will probably be no male sightings until the end of the season, if at all. Nonetheless, if the rest is like this first episode, it's going to be a fun watch! I'm excited to meet all the characters and their teams.

One of my most anticipated anime from this season as it seemed like it will be a fun watch and I was right on my money. This indeed seems like a very fun anime with colorful characters. Already liking the protagonist Tsubaki and all the girls. Interactions between em were quite amusing. The girls are really cute and their thoughts on men are hilarious. I like how they all think of them as monkey and want to beat them up. Also as expected from cloverworks, the production of this show is top tier.

I wonder what Tsubaki's going through though, it definitely ain't you know what.

It's a really cute show but I don't know how the story's going to progress.
I hope that in the next episodes they'll meet at least one boy but I don't think that's going to happen.
The men jokes will start to get repetitive soon but if they add a male character they can actually make an interesting story.
The animation was pretty good though

I think it's already very clear that this is not on the writing quality of Yamamoto-sensei's other works, but I'll have fun watching these dumb ninja girls and their 5heads throughout the season. It definitely helps that Cloverworks are animating it well: that brief fight scene was great.

Another show where the "jokes" I enjoyed the most were not the jokes at all, but when it absolutely slammed the screen with flowers to drive home how much of an innocent, unplucked virgin she is. The whole premise is hard to even wrap your head around. They have no idea what men are, but men are also wandering the forest about a five minute walk away, but also also they're really, really horny for them, and each other for that matter.

I guess if you're just here for horny girls ovulating all around, it's that, but there's not a whole ton else. It is better animated than it needs to be, though won't be making any highlight reels either.
The first half was definitely stronger than the second, at least serving as an introduction and over the top imagery was some kind of notable feature. More of an overall structure or plot to hold things together would have served it well because the second half was already into abject filler territory and the screamy side characters especially are more annoying than funny.

I feel like this would be great fun if it wasn't about men. A lot of good designs, a lot of fun characters, some fun animations too, but whenever "men" was on the topic, it just felt like an endless cycle of "I want to see a man" and "men are stinky and have weak groins" over and over and over.

I'm really like this so far, the world-building has been pretty intriguing without having any outright exposition dumps or anything of the like.

Though, there may be a lot of unnecessary "men-talk" thrown around- maybe it has a purpose? I couldn't say.

The "fight" was well crafted as well, looking forward to next week.

Great episode! Sazanka is a funny character xD. She seems to get in fights with anyone she sees lol. Though Tsubaki's teammates aren't and say they are disgusting, Tsubaki has taken an interest in men as well and desperately wants to see one xD.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Not really feeling it. The misandry based humor was way too repetitive. I think the one girl made the same "men don't take baths" comment five times. I'll give it one more episode to see if there's any improvement.

Big Forehead is back, it's interesting to see what Takagi-san Author bring this time.

lot of cute little girl doing Ninja thing. it's Adorable.
Jutsu Animation looks pretty good too.

no wonder Mokuren sounds so familiar, it's Shinju Inui from My Dress-Up Darling.

Tsubaki really down bad huh, i mean i bet on the other side there must be one male that feeling the same as well.

Was totally jazzed when I heard this was getting an anime and now it's here already, haya!

I just love shows that feature large ensembles of characters (Girls & Panzer, Saki, Kancolle, etc.) and the variety of costumes, personalities, ages, body-types, etc. etc. in Kunoichi is already a joy after just one episode. I'm already a big fan of Souichirou's other works and cute character designs.

Can't wait to properly meet so many of the characters: Benisumomo, the Snake squad duo, Mukuren, Rindou, Hinagiku, Hana & Konoha sensei just to name a few.

So far the voice acting doesn't match the talent found in Takagi-san but it's too early to make a proper judgement yet. Hopefully there will be a few stand-outs.

Plot-wise it's really just an episodic SoL/Comedy featuring, in this case, a village of silly ninja girls in-training but with so many squads and personalities there's no shortage of comedic possibilities. The costuming and lush outdoor/village setting is also a refreshing change from middle/high-school settings and the sameness of school uniforms.

Can't wait to see the rest of the episodes.

Oh yeah, that's what men had in that way. Tsubaki actually already thinking that out. What a true bad girl....

Anyway another moeshit of the season, and its about all kunoichi village and one big 4head named Tsubaki.

Curiosity killed the cat in a literal meaning, but on Tsubaki-chan case, its strengthened her more, with her cuteness.

Curious how they played it out all in a one season span time. But i can see this as my usual turns my monkey brain off and enjoy girl eating other girl ears and then trying to figure out how men looks like in an adorable way.

As jaded as its may ended up, as long as its cute girls doin ninja thing, why not, right? I am kinda like that for sure....

With other shows airing this season I'm glad I decided to check this one out and I was not disappointed instead it was really good.

The male jokes which were repetitive to me was understandable considering they haven't even seen a man and lol they aren't exactly wrong but overall the production of this show was really good especially considering how many shows cloverworks has coming this year.

Tsubaki and the other characters were so cute and funny plus tsubaki panicking and flustered upon hearing the word men in abdomen was really funny, the chase scene was so good that I for real thought is it really cloverworks even though out of the 3 shows they put last season 2 were really good.

If they keep this up I think I'm going to really enjoy this show.

Hope the production of this show doesn't come crashing down.

So.... I'm confused.

Could someone explain to me how the MC can be romantically interested in men when she hasn't ever seen a man before, and is constantly reminded about their danger?

I understand kids being curious about forbidden things, but romantic interest? That doesn't make sense to me.

It all just seems weirdly forcedly heteronormative.

Dude, this is supposed to be chill/comedy show and her being interested in men, even though she hasn't seen one, is the entire premise!!! - This is something the story is saying you should accept without questions. I think we should not think about certain things too seriously, otherwise there's no point in watching unserious comedy show because you won't enjoy it - because duh... unserious stuff often makes no sense and irritates people. I mean look at this statement: "weirdly forcedly heteronormative" - The show is made by the same author as Takagi. I don't think there are any hidden messages and ulterior motives and shit. The author just made a fiction-comedy where a girl who hasn't seen men is interested in men, the end.

I'm not saying every show ever has to make perfect sense, and I like plenty of silly shows. To me it just would make a lot more sense if this was a yuri show or something, since literally no one in the clan has ever seen a man. I'll obviously eat my words if the MC has seen a man before, which might have been hinted at by the dream sequence.
