    The Boondocks of Japanese Ninja & High School theme/s

    The drawing style and quirky, satiric and dark humor feel inspired by the character development and style of the Boondocks.

    If you enjoyed the dark and satirical humor and drawing Boondocks then you will enjoy this. And this show seems to be also inspired by the 21 Jump Street movie with the guy humor intact.

    The other storyline and plot theme is- older youth ninja infiltrating high school as spies and protectors / instigators is also a nice twist as it pokes fun at the high school genre of anime.

    The analysis of ninjas disguised as everyday people is also another good storyline that adds to the charm of this anime series.

    Overall the above points kept me engaged into this series.

    Ninja and perversion go hand in hand

    The action is some real crazy ninja stuff. Humor is so perverted that it's hard not to have a smile on your face.

    But the characters are so quirky that Dynamics just never get boring. How the most insane stuff happened, but they are so deadpan about it, it makes it so funny.

    The character design feels like caricature of real Japanese people, it looks really distinct and rough, but in the best way.

    The main character is fun to watch, I never really get tired of the tired main character, that doesn't really want to do anything but lay around but is forced to do so much. It's just one of the main character type that I never get tired of.

    The anime is so horny and it used so well in the jokes. It's surprising how much of the plot horniness is involved.

    Interesting fun corporate backstepping in highest caliber. Fun anime but one that has that eternal problem that it's not a finished story it has an Ending but I want a conclusion, so yeah read the manga ending.

    At least give him a proper epic duel

    Under Ninja presents a new and different story. There are themes that make the series interesting, such as secrecy, identity, loyalty, and struggle. The story in this series feels quite heavy with a back and forth plot at the beginning of the episode. The drama in this series discusses more about social issues with political elements that make the series feel more weighty from the middle to the end of the episode. The actions are also exciting but brutal, with subtle comedy, a characteristic of comedy in anime series. The characters are made quite complicated, but it seems like they are not explored deeply enough which makes us unable to feel in, and there are several characters whose fate is still unclear at the end. The pacing of each episode feels slow but it is easy to follow the plot. The animation is nice and trying to be detailed, each shot is also very good. The editing is neat but intense, making each action even more exciting to watch. The music is still a bit less memorable. The acting of the voice actors is solid, not many of whom act excessively. Overall, this is a must-watch anime series.

    I give this 9.6/10.

    An anime watcher's anime

    Under Ninja is an anime watcher's anime. This anime is for you if you've seen a lot of it and you're sick of seeing the same stories and cliches in anime. It satisfies the need for novelty and is genuinely unlikely to be anything else.

    These newcomers haven't seen much anime, which is almost a need in order to understand how Under Ninja subverts everything that has been established in the past within the anime and manga industries. Without knowledge of what is being subverted, newcomers cannot know what is being subverted.

    Ninja is a daring work of inventiveness and skillfully rendered absurdism that made me laugh and be impressed at the same time.

    Nice One

    There are many positives and negatives in this anime. It brought narrative depth to the events and conveyed information to the viewer indirectly and makes you always think and immerse yourself in the events. The idea itself is very interesting and has a special character and wide imagination. In writing, it goes from good to very good. There are episodes that did not There was no need for it and it was just a filler.. There are great and wonderfully woven episodes.. If there is a negative, it will be the way they go back in time all the time just to explain something simple to you, and through this thing they extend the episode and it runs out and you did not complete the journey of the last episode.. In terms of the characters, it was Very interesting, and I saw aspects of her that were somewhat bold and mature .. A strange anime, but it is still an enjoyable anime and has its own atmosphere.. My personal rating is 7.1/10.
