ニートくノ一となぜか同棲はじめました
Tsukasa Atsumi is a salaryman who leads an ordinary, solitary life. On his way back from work one evening, he is saved from a demon attack by a mysterious woman in a ninja outfit. Introducing herself as Shizuri Ideura, she claims that demons target people like Tsukasa, who have Samurai Blood in their veins, and that her kind have been protecting them from the shadows. Told by Shizuri that the attacks are going to become more frequent, Tsukasa makes a deal to provide her with housing in exchange for his safety. To his surprise, he quickly finds out that Shizuri is a shut-in who loves to play video games whenever she is not busy with her ninja duties. As the two spend more time together, Tsukasa grows to appreciate Shizuri's company—and his feelings just might be mutual. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Ultimately NEET Ninja is a failed Jack of All Trades that uses most of the tropes & stereotypes in the medium. It lacks story, cohesion & basic formatting to the point some episodes are a jumbled blob full of conflicting tones, genres & ideas. It's another standard 'turn your brain off' perverted anime where it never excels at anything other than Voice Acting & at times Comedy. It lacks any depth or explanation to its world or characters & the only redeemable portions of the show are thanks to the voice actors, referential gags and a number of interactions between side characters, who themselves arestereotypes & references. The side characters & their antics were the only reason I stayed around, as they provided consistent entertainment. Sadly, the side characters only start appearing after ep2 which means you're stuck with a rather intolerable duo for 24 minutes before things start to get arguably entertaining. That’s not to say the jokes don’t get old or repetitive, as they definitely do but certain characters leave & return long enough for the jokes to land again. I should also note that there are jokes about gender dysphoria, consent & Japanese tropes e.g. low character ages. This is another reason why my score is low, even if it's a comedy, it's still disgusting. Depending on where you watch the show, it has either 24, 12 minute episodes or 12, 24 minute episodes, with the later using a jarring structure of featuring the OP & ED’s multiple times in a single episode. It’s weird... I do not recommend watching this in its entirety HOWEVER if you can find highlights of the characters on media sharing sites, you may experience the best parts of the Anime.
