Kage kara Mamoru is a funny and enjoyable comedy. Throughout its twelve episodes, it mixes ninjas and school comedy in a wide variety of situations, always handling the comedic moments well.
One of the main strengths of this series is its well-suited characters for creating funny situations, and in this regard, the female protagonist stands out. Yuuna constantly gets into trouble, is quite slow, and behaves with unrealistic optimism. However, she's not the only standout character—Mamoru is also a solid protagonist, particularly because of the contrast between his ninja and student personas. The rest of the cast consists of female characters who also get involved with Mamoru in absurd situations. To some extent, it feels like a harem, as most of the girls have feelings for Mamoru, but the…

"Banana, banana banana, banana ba na na na na na na, ba na na."
This anime got that stupid banana song stuck in my head for weeks. I kept going back to watch clips of it over and over again, and spent forever tracking down the full length soundtrack version. It's a real banger.
Do you like ninjas? Do you like dumb anime girls being bakawaii? Then you'll probably really enjoy this. Personally I really love when dumb characters have their stupidity cranked up to 11 for the sake of comedy. Nothing makes me feel better about how dumb I am than watching someone even dumber. Top it off with it being a cute anime girl and I'm having a great time.
There's a lot of goofy characters and plot lines that seem like they're going to be serious but then end up being silly. It's a comedy anime that's a…

Kage kara Mamoru! is a ninja theme with a lot of comedy anime, this anime tell about a ninja clan named Kagemori who sworn to protect Konyaku Family and their descendant started 400year before.
Main Character Hero called Kagemori Mamoru has a duty to protect Yuna Konyaku. They even become a friend since chillhood. Mamoru don't have a clue about women feeling, yet he's skilled enough as Ninja. Yuna are a clumsy type heroine that will makes you hoots of laughter while watching this anime.
During his duty to protect her, he meet other female characters that later will become his friends (and all of them falling in love with him, so it's kinda makes soft harem anime).
I recommended this anime to all of you whos seek for a light harem and lot of comedy.

This is a pretty decent anime. You have this boy ninja who has to protect his neighbor (a clumsy, childish, loving girl who he grew up with) because of this promise made by his family a long time ago. He first appears nerdy but when he has to fulfill his duty he turns into this nice looking serious ninja. The story pretty much revolves around his duty to protect his childhood friend/neighbor. Throughout this process, they (main character and other characters) face new challenges, meet new friends, and feelings grow. So all in all it was good filled with some comedy, a touch of romance, and ninja action. Quite enjoyable and not over the top. You can pretty much telll how the story will evolve as you watch each episode so its kinda predictable. This anime gets a 9.

Story: Nerd-glasses wearing student one second, handsome & mysterious ninja the next, Mamoru comes from a family of ninjas. Their purpose is to secretly protect the Konnyaku family, whom they have always lived next door to. Mamoru's particular mission is to protect the daughter, Yuna, and he has done so since he was small. This is made more difficult thanks to Yuna being a clumsy airhead who always manages to land herself into far-more-than-your-average amount of trouble. They are good friends (She has not yet mentioned that she loves him), and always go places together, which helps gr…
