About NINJA NONSENSE
Take one totally cute (and naive) ninja-girl trainee, add a ninja horde under the tutelage of the weirdest headmaster ever – a strange, yellow, spherical, pudgy... creature... named Onsokumaru – and you get the kind of “super-explosive ninja insanity” that can only be found in what's been called “the runaway nuclear reactor” of anime comedies!
