Premise looks a bit weird. Ninjas working parttime jobs in convience stores ? They have fallen quite low from being mythical creatures.
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 :)

The show is better than expected, I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I did.

Will Kousetsu ever take off her face mask? I know she is maintaining social distancing due to Covid and all but...XD

There's gonna be some fire revelation as soon as she takes off her mask, bet. Maybe something develops between her and Ittoki, she'll have reason for taking the mask off ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Mid, plot holes, why tf doesn't the heir, the LITTERAL MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE CLAN, not know jack-diddly-shit about ninja's and martial arts and all that?? The actual child, his classmate is in on it, she has martial art training and ninja gear so why tf doesn't the mc know even the basics? He's forced to play damsel in distress before he even gets introduced to the ninja world.

I have a lot of snarky criticism for this first episode so if it can't get me invested within these next 2 eps then it's a drop for me

Watched it some days ago. What i most like is that girl with white hair that uses a mask. I wouldn't watch it if she was not in the anime.

i normally don't read much background on a show before watching. but i happened to read part of the description of this show, "mc attacked by rival ninja" something or other. so because of that i expected this panties girl to attack him, otherwise it would've caught me totally off guard. i would've been all, "why tf is this random girl trying to sex him up after just introducing herself?"

anyways, i found it kind of interesting/entertaining. probably 6.5/10 for a first episode

chief mom: "you are to become a ninja"
ittoki: "...i don't know about that, uh, chief"

A problem many pilot episodes for new TV shows face is that they have the double duty of both immersing viewers into the world the show is set in and making viewers care about the characaters that live in that world. This first episode... failed on both accounts.

Aside from presenting the show's main premise after the episode has passed the halfway mark, Ittoki himself just isn't that interesting as a protagonist. I get that I'm supposed to sympathize with his desire to live a normal life, but his life is presented in such a breakneck speed that I didn't get the chance to sympathize him in an emotional level. Who is Ittoki? Why am I supposed to care about him? If the show can't answer these questions, then it will have a hard time grabbing my attention.

That said, this episode wasn't a complete failure. It delivered good action, especially with that choreography and that lighting. If noting else, I enjoyed this episode for the visual spectacle, which was barely enough to make up for its lack of substance.

This is only the first episode, so I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet.

It's not magical, it's magazine label so it changes depending on magazine. First 7-9 chapters of Vinland Saga were in Weekly Shounen Magazine, Yukimura couldn't manage with weekly schedule so they moved him to monthly Good Afternoon which had free slot and thus manga became seinen. Kinnikuman was in WSJ until volume 37 but after that/currently is in Weekly Playboy, it also changed from shounen to seinen.
It's simply not a genre. It doesn't specify anything about the plot.

I liked that twist with the villain girl and wasn't expecting it at all which was the one thing I liked the most. It feels a bit strange to watch a modern version of a ninja anime, comparing to Naruto. So far it's not that interesting to me but I'll give it a couple of episodes

Can't get on board with the idea that we're supposed to think the mom was in the right for how she chose to raise Ittoki. I don't care what he's destined to be the leader of - giving him zero time to so much as hang out with friends is less likely to make a master ninja and more likely to just burn the kid out.

Woah this show surprisingly have a top notch VA. Miyu, and then Tsuda as the villain were very familiar to me and then later theres Aoi too. Based production commitee, ngl. Well as Ittoki its must be hard and pretty shit if i can be honest here, after receiving those late information coming from his 'chief'.

Short overall, i do like to waste my shit time watching something that is so dramatic that is actually can heal my barren off-day with their stereotype shit. My popcorn is not enough with just one episode. So idk with you all, but i like this first episode.

Interesting premise with the Itokki being the Iga clan heir but I wonder why it was kept a secret and more importantly what the point was in the officer faking being killed.

I get that they're introducing the plot and characters but felt it could have been done a bit faster. Yet it was an interesting episode that showed some cool scenes like dodging the truck.

Don't actually get it right.
Now, this is funny and unusual. Most protagonists are meant to be dumb. Whoa, too many classes. I can relate to the guy on this. 

Damn, Ittoki got a hard realisation of reality. Tokisada — shura. But the transformation is like power rangers. Poor guy thought his family was lacking money.

Man. The plot twist occurs when the other faction tries to kill the MC... But the attempt itself is so ridiculous. The fanservice then is so forced and pathetic. Since the girl invited him to her house It was pretty obvious to me that it will occur such a stupid scene.

Kouga and Iga huh? Well this time it seems like the Kouga are the antagonists.

Ittoki's mum isn't wrong. Accepting confessions from girls you never interacted with is an ignorant thing to do, especially when they're ninja assassins who see you as an easy mark for luring into a private residence...
