Nobody talks about this one. Fourth-graders with absurd powers, flying eyeballs, missile-hair, a catalog of failures masquerading as ninja training, fighting kids from a rival village while the show treats both the comedy and the actual danger with equal weight. It's the kind of show that understands a kid's logic: superpowers are real, school matters, and your rival village is genuinely a problem, all at the same time. The gap between what these kids think they are and what they actually are drives every episode. You're watching children negotiate power and shame in a world that takes their ninja dreams seriously enough to make them bleed for it.

Deep in rural Tokio village, fourth-grader Ippei and his classmates are working hard to become ninjas, and each of them has a superpower of questionable usefulness, from eyeballs that fly to hair that fires like missiles. Their training keeps running into trouble from the arrogant cheaters of neighboring Techno village. The TV comedy blends ninja action with school antics and is adapted from a children's manga by Kawai Kazuyoshi.
