Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh, action fans and families.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
28 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 30 minutes each).
What might put you off
It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Rantarō, Shinbei and Kirimaru are ninja apprentices in the Ninja Gakuen, where first grade ones are called "Nintamas". They must learn everything a ninja must know, but as for our heroes, money, food or playing are more interesting. The series show the everyday adventures of our heroes.
