If you’re a fan of Japanese culture, you’ll love Ninja Nonsense Volume Two! This volume highlights summer in Japan. Get out your swimsuits and yukata, but look out for pervy yellow balls with wings!

plot summary

Onsokamura continues to harass Shinobu and Kaede with his pervy practices. Everywhere the two go, Onsokumaru is there with hundreds of ninja to interfere with the girls’ fun. But the lil’ jerk attempts to be a decent anthropomorphic ball by throwing a traditional summer matsuri (festival), complete with bon odori (bon dancing)!

This summer is turning out to be full of heartache and pain as the ninja, Shinobu, Miyabi and Kaede try and have as much fun as can be stuffed in one hot season.

review

Ninja Nonsense has many inside jokes and dirty laughs. I have to hang my Offend-O-Meter on the door when I watch it, but it’s still funny if you’re looking for easy grins.

The slap stick humor and fast pace laughs don’t give you much time to breathe, and it’s a good idea not to wait to visit the bathroom before watching this, since it’s inadvisable to laugh this hard on a full bladder.

The jokes weren’t all indecent (the bulk were) and it was good to see the girls give as good as they got. There were some really bad instances in Volume Two, in terms of just plain wrong. Two Words: poisonous mushroom. I enjoyed the backdrops and environments as much as the naughty asides.

This volume had some interesting cultural insight. The matsuri was a nice touch, as was the typhoon (what’s the difference between a typhoon and a hurricane?) There was even an episode dealing with the Japanese mythology of Hell. And through it all were the ninja Sasuke and that floating pervert, Onsokumaru, trying to score a gander of the girls with their clothes off.

Conclusion

I’m enjoying Ninja Nonsense because I can. Meaning, I’m an adult and can laugh at pervy things and still feel good about myself in the morning. Forget your hangups and chuckle along with Onsokamaru. C’mon, who can resist pervy ninja?
