Episode 12 (finale)

Not really the best series a lot of the time, while boobs, skanky outfits, and ocasional interesting visual was alright, it did not really carry enough so it did not just feel like some conry.... hentai.

Overall I might rate the series as "Not really good", the thing is that I don't have many series that are like that which I end up rateing as I would not watch them all the way through, strangely I actually did not have a problem watching this despite that. I would probably call it one of the few bad shows that I actually liked, despite awknowledging it as bad. That may or may not be attributed to shower scenes, girls hanging upside down, and some extreme outfits open shirts to low open pants.

I think I just admited to being a pervert. Embarassed

ep.12

spoiler[
asuka & homura still battle give flashback that homura had trust issues due to betray a person who used homura yet while they battle bad teacher guy is trying get scroll powers.

main 5's teacher found rin/suzune give found out all this part of training project for them both main 5 & rival 5 during chase is on each on main 5 & rival 5 to climb to top floor even with a combine bunny-squid ride?

til bad teacher guy appear reveal he used them now take over ninja world so cue "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" alliance team-up while asuka & homura had battle orochi while rest battle ninja robots.

give own'd ninja robot yet asuka & homura look like yikes til everyone used ninja power give asuka & homura full ninja spirit to beat orochi yet now chase bad teacher guy.

til he teeth press bombs to blow up dark ninja school with everyone in it cause i don't give a whatever speech so rival 5 go rescue their students while rin/suzume go grab & drag down bad teacher guy to "burn".

so time pass main 5 all fine give wonder happen rival 5 give their school damage no body were found give knew there hiding & know they will be back so main 5 waiting for them to return. ]

The series got pretty shameless with the fanservice, but the fights were good enough and the series really didn't take itself too seriously, or rather it knew its limits and didn't attempt to overreach. So I'd say it's enjoyable because it manages to avoid doing anything too badly(and thus avoids obvious flaws), rather than by truly excelling.

So it works as a not very good anime that knows it is not very good, and thus is not pretending it something it isn't.

Suppose now I should mention that I rolled my eyes and felt my attention/IQ drop each time they had a sushi roll bit. And why didn't she just spoiler[stab the guy instead of suicidally taking him down], I am sure she had multiple choices, and she chose one of the dumbest choices.

Yeah, I was very much expecting her to do that, instead of what she did. After all, spoiler[wouldn't the length of the fall give him more time to activate the yoke technique than goring his brains]?

Episode 12/Finale
Well damn, Homura and her past ;.;

But ya, this series was just an eye candy and a way to pass time rather than watching for seriousness. Well, I haven't played the game from which this series was adapted from anyways so I have no idea if there were plot changes.

Anyways, the episode's fight was okay. Teamwork! I'm not surprised about the spoiler[betrayal] though. Selfish people do selfish things in this series. Meh ending to this meh series. I'll rate it as Weak for now.

I'd have enjoyed it more if the fanservice and nudity were more loose and prevalent. The story and characters were really enough to hold interest, but the design work and attractive color palettes weren't turning me away either. In contrast, Ikki Tousen may have more nudity, but I find it far uglier of a series overall, and even less interesting when half of the characters are emotionless brick walls.

Well, Vol 1 comes out in two days so we'll probably find out via Sankaku Complex what the BD's have to offer

I generally found this to be a cute and sexy show. I gave it a "Decent" rating. Certainly nothing earth-shattering, but not a bad way to kill 22-ish minutes a week.

The last episode is great despite the unnecessary part where spoiler[Rin sacrificed herself with the main villain]. It's brushed off with a happy ending anyway so that scene just feels pointless. And nice homage to Shana with Homura's transformation.

It's definitely an enjoyable show for me. Ok action, great fanservice, and likable characters. Hoping for another season with more characters.

I'm thinking Rin was invoking the spoiler[Redemption equals death] trope. wasn't the best thing in the world, but I came for the large bouncy breasts and I was not disappointed. Had some pretty cool fight scenes and interesting uses of ninjitsu. I'll give it a decent
