Episode 6
Wow, spoiler[Mirai] I'm disappoint. I thought she'd put up a much more better fight than that. Well at any rate, most of the fights were a bit rushed but some of it was still fun to watch especially Katsuragi's imo.

Oh and a new girl @ the end there? Wonder who she is.

The supersecretscroll would be my guess. Does that make sense? Not really, but that's no obstacle.

so there is an actual story here, and it keeps trying to squeeze its way past 5 pairs double D's and it managed to do so for a bit this episode.

Episodes 3 to 7

The show does get a little odd, but it is the absurdity that really keeps my interest, and maybe something else Rolling Eyes . The highlight has to be the goth loli with an eye patch, from under her dress she has summoned thhings like a spoiler[machine gun and a small jet], that is funny.

The thing that has annoyed me the most is that the main characters have note even felt like strong ninja; they keep getting distracted and have their butts kicked. The biggest problem is Hibari who keeps crying for her friend to help her and actin like some helpless child, Yagyuu for the most part is competent, she really shouldn't have to fight all of Hibari's battles. Katsuragi has confidence, but her slacking and pervasive character is not even backed up by surprising abilities that such characters usually have. Ikaruga feels like she belongs in the show, her issues seem to weaken her though, hopefully it will actually make her good. Our main character, Asuka, just feels so weak, naievity can work, but she does not even have confidence to back up her beliefs, she started to show some in episode 7 while under the rocks, but this felt off as she was saying that it was still her family, not confidence in herself.

Oh well, there are still boobs, panties and ripped clothes, that one sword chick has quite the low opened pants. Just wish they worked on making the main characters cool and thus fun to watch, a magical bunny comming in and then flying away with Hibari waving at it is not fun.

spoiler[so after some training main 5's master & cat ninja had some talk recall how each of 5 arrive at school.

katsu & ikaruga were at 1st bit odds & rivals give rough past yet then after oops doing barrier they patch up & rest is history how they got along.

after doing their transform outfit here asuka's 1st year in ninja school give bit clumsy yet did some well doing it for her grandpa.

then yagyuu & hibari arrival give yagyuu did well well hibari just RUN give all in time all got along well.

so seeing how they join in then cat ninja mention one she was plan to grad til rin went "missing" yet still wonder way if save it all?

& oh rival 5 now got like sneak in by ear-ring to now hi-jack hibari to do something for them.]

The show is basically following the shonen formula where the enemies initially overpower the heroes (spoiler[there is Yagyuu defeating the machine gun girl but that's about it]), then the heroes train to get stronger and eventually win in the end. That's why they appear weak at the moment.

Still, what a giant un-fun tease this series is. In a post-Manyuu Hikenchou and Seikon no Qwaser world, it's just not the same seeing everything covered up 100% of the time.

Oh wait, story and characters? Inconsequential, but the Jojo Daidouji is nice.

Episodes 8 and 9

Yeah, I know why I am watching this: multiple bathing scenes, and the upside down bit with their chests dangling, despite seeming to have magical skirts. Then Hibari spoiler[tied up and taken to the puppeteer], hope I can just memorize the yuri right there. Is it wrong to enjoy that pairing so much?

Well Hibarispoiler[ had guts to pretend to become a double agent], that is worth something for her character.

Well, at least she's doing something now though even if I feel like she is still quite useless in the show so far. A friend of mine told me that she is quite the OP in a game but otherwise, I hope she can pull her little plan through @ the Snake Academy.

Well, to do so she'll definitely need to prove herself without Yagyuu, which makes me wonder if they won't spoiler[have her start seriously consider changing terms permanently] when she does.
