My Review of A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof 420https://srv.crunchyroll.com/cdncgi/image/fit=containformat=autoquality=85width=1200height=675/catalog/crunchyroll/d105c83a37178d20abf6e38c02293ada.jpg I didnt expect to like this anime THAT much.. Story After running away from her village exninja Satoko Kusagakure is chased by ninja pursuers to claim her bounty. After an assassin named Konoha Koga saves her from one of her pursuers. Satoko chooses to stay with her and help Konoha with her job by hiding the bodies with her ability to turn things into leaves. This cycle continues as Konoha and Satoko continuously deal with ninja pursuers and try to adjust to this new life of living together. 320https://i0.wp.com/www.animefeminist.com/wpcontent/uploads/2025/04/NinkoroPremiereScreenshot1d.png?resize=8102C457ssl=1 Characters Satoko Kusagakure is an energetic friendly and somewhat airheaded ninja. Despite being trained as a ninja shes quite inexperienced with combat. However shes great with house skills providing food and keeping Konohas house clean. Konoha Koga is a reserved assassin who doesnt show emotion much. Shes merciless killer who keeps her distance from Satoko while still caring for her as she helps Konohas assassin ratings go up. 320https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/thumbnails/crop1200x630gIC/cms/episodereview.4/224125/assassinninja4.jpg The Good This anime balances a bunch of elements that wouldnt usually go well together. You obviously have the Cute Girls Doing Cute Things vibe they portray plus the quick yet cruel acts of murder that repeatedly go on with little to no mercy towards the victims and then you have those sad scenes with backstories or depressed outcomes. Surprisingly this anime was able to balance all three of these features and equally portray each of them in a way that doesnt have one overtake the other. Speaking of cute girls I really loved the artstyle and animation of this anime. For a show like this I wouldnt have expected this to be that well animated. The character designs feel like something out of Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. and I love it. The comedy was pretty great as well and made this anime more enjoyable. I liked the small detail in the ED where all the ninjas that are leaves become leaves in the ED as well. Its a small change but it helps due to its humorous nature. 320https://i.redd.it/thisgoofyninjaandassassinunderoneroofdebutwasv0w3dxhip0y3ue1.jpg?width=1424format=pjpgauto=webps=defcebf9c23870188a13ada93a7c6f36679e070a The Bad To be honest I wasnt really a fan of episodes 5 and 6 as much as the others. Episode 5 just felt meh to me and really made me dislike Konoha. The robot bit got old really quickly for me. Episode 6 was completely fanservice. FYI Im not a fan of fanservice focused episodes so EP6 just wasnt enjoyable for me and I thought that it wasnt needed. Another small complaint I have is focused on the action scenes. Although it was pretty funny to see the fights go by so quickly I really wished we had a couple more fights where there was some trouble so the skills of the ninja and assassin could show off more. 320https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/thumbnails/crop1200x630gI4/cms/episodereview.4/223892/assassinninja3.jpg The Downright Ugly Despite the cruel acts of the cute girls I dont think there was anything downright ugly here. 320https://i0.wp.com/www.animefeminist.com/wpcontent/uploads/2025/04/NinkoroPremiereScreenshot1b.png?resize=8102C456ssl=1 Is It Worth The Watch? Despite my complaints list looking like a lot I really enjoyed this anime way more than I thought I would. Its silly its depressing its twisted? Its all of the above So yes this is absolutely worth the watch for an emotional rollercoaster. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this helped you with your decision on whether to watch this anime or not If you already have watched it I hope that you can agree with me with some of the points I made.
