This anime is pretty okay. The animation is good, the art style is one I haven't seen much, and it's pretty engaging. Some of the gags are a little perverted, but I guess that does come with the parody genre. I feel bad for Shinobu, but her bond with Kaede already looks like it's going to shape up into something quite cute. Onsokumaru is just plain weird, but I also liked the gatekeeper ninja. I do hope they never EVER have tea from a bottle at the ninja palace, though.
