@m0xEE yes, Under Ninja and it's batshit insane

It's good! I might have missed it myself had it not been for your recommendations as this whole ninja thing isn't my cup of tea. Thank you!
It reminds me of Darker than Black — but not because there is a talking cat character, more because of the whole struggle between different factions in a mysterious organization.
It also has strong Noragami vibes — probably because the protagonist is morally ambiguous, isn't the goody two shoes type, and because the tone of the show isn't always serious, despite the plot being somewhat sad.
I'm kinda disappointed in the finale — I'm fine with characters dying and all, but this "everyone's a clone" thing isn't exactly new, nor it is something particularly exciting in this case as it gets thrown in just like that — for no particular reason other than having a cliffhanger, unlike e.g. Dance in the Vampire Bund, where it gets really tastefully executed — and to a great success, explaining a lot and not devaluing characters' struggles, more like putting them under a different light.
But as it doesn't make the rest of the show any worse, I'll let it slide. And the visuals a really nice.

@coolboymew @m0xEE ya they have honestly done a great adaptation of the source material. also the OP is a banger(though I think it's better when played at 1.25x speed.)

They might be, unfortunately I'm not familiar with the original material and I'm pretty sure it gets some interesting development further down the storyline, but that's not the point — I just don't like how this was executed. This is not how you do plot twists — they should not only extend the plot, but give earlier events another interpretation — not the one you've been expecting, even though that might have seemed quite logical up to this point. Kunihiko Ikuhara is the true master of this — every show by him is like a maze: it's like you leave the room and realize that all the global plot is way bigger, you just couldn't see it while you were inside that room, you might have thought that some characters are evil, but then — boom, no, in fact their actions are completely justified, maybe you'd do the same if you had their reasons, then you find the exit even from that room, the plot is even bigger than that, then another room and another one! Mawaru Penguindrum does this about 5-6 times — all within a 2-cour show. In the end he still managed to fuck the finale up and make it an incomprehensible mess, but I have digressed…
But what do we have here? So, he wasn't acting alone and had co-conspirators — wow? No! More like: so what?! It means that we will see season 2, but wasn't it obvious that it's not the end of the story. I mean even the cat and the motor cycle from the opening post — they've only been used for comic relief, while it's obvious both of them have bigger roles to play, they didn't have to squeeze this plot turn into the final episode, it was wrong and lame IMO :cirno_shrug:
