There is really nothing wrong with this anime. For the most part, I was expecting it to be something else entirely. What I got instead was a comedy that felt really refreshing for some oddly satisfying reason. Maybe it was how often Jubei said "huh" or maybe it was how they actually did not take the time to draw the unimportant characters when they appeared in a scene. But, the enjoyment level, for the most part, was pretty great. Most of these reviews, I imagine, took it seriously. Well, this anime has both seriousness and comedy, but more heavy on the latter. And for those that took itin as the former, have a completely off perception of this anime.

Nothing about Jubei-chan: The Ninja Girl is bad when it began (by the way, they messed up the title) and it slowly got better as it went on.

If you take it with a comedic attitude, you are getting a very, very solid comedy. It strives for simplicity, and unfortunately repeats a lot of things here and there. But, the way it did its comedy was not bad at all.

As I said before, everyone whom has given this a bad review has not really looked at it in the same light I have. I assume they immediately took it seriously, making sense since the first episode did kind of have her transform into that samurai and have a serious sword battle. But, finding out what all those fights led to at the end was very satisfying.

I would not say this one was bad at all, but I would not say it was too good, either. But, for SURE it is well above average; enough for me to want to buy it on DVD and I only owned one other anime on DVD until this point.

Truth be told, I might have bought it in hopes it got a lot better; and it was more on impulse. But, I still do not regret it; because in the end, I still got an adequate amount of enjoyment from it. Not what I anticipated, but not disappointing; for sure.

Do I recommend it? Only if you take it with a grain of salt and realize what it is. If you are expecting it be an extremely epic "Middle School Prodigy" kind of deal, your best to be leaving this article right now and looking for a new show to satisfy your epic samurai desires. This show only has that in a very minimal fashion of good fights.
