Agree with the guys above, no idea how is this connected to Yami Shibai at all. Maybe they picked one of the stories from the random episode and decided to do a full series on it, but I don't remember any episode with Ninjas in Yami Shibai, its all set in modern times.
Either ways will watch when it airs and hopefully connect the series then.
I read on ANN that Ninja Collection will be a horror with urban legend elements, so the same as Yami Shibai, but just focused on a group of ninja. So maybe this will be the connection
