Anime in Focus: Ninja Nonsense (2x2 Shinobuden) episode 1

Well, to find out what this anime is about, see the title. That will explain everything. This consists of 50% ninjas and 50% nonsense. The ratio on this often leans towards the nonsense side to be quite honest. Hence, if you are looking for an actual series about ninjas, go somewhere else. If you’re looking for shenanigans involving ninjas acting dumb, this is the show for you.

This episode starts out with our main character, Shinobu breaking into another main character, Kaede’s house in order to steal panties. We learn that this is because she is on a serious business mission from the great ninja headmaster. Unfortunately, her ninja magic does not appear to work (despite what she believes) and she unfortunately did not pack any shuriken. This leads to a rather pathetic encounter, where Kaede gives Shinobu the Panties just to get her to go away.

For some reason, due to Shinobu’s homoerotic tendencies, Shinobu decides that she must show Kaede the Ninja manor she lives in. On the way, this causes a duel with the great Ninja Onsakumaru… which does not involve much ninja magic. Unless kicking a person in the balls counts. We learn about the ninja lifestyle, and how the ninjas go about their daily business, which is quite silly. It’s nearly impossible to believe how these ninjas get any credibility, although its also really unclear what it is exactly that they do.

This show definitely lives up to its title in a good way. The characters are likeable, despite being incredibly idiotic, and their shenanigans are fun to watch. This show is heavy on the ecchi, but that doesn’t bother me at all, hehe. Furthermore, unlike some shows, when this show makes a fanservice gag, I actually find it funny. Hence, I highly recommend it, especially if you are looking for a good slapstick comedy that doesn’t demand too much out of the viewer.
