I was really looking forward to this series when I first saw the trailer, but I found this show to be very boring. Admittedly I'm only 2 episodes in but there's very few redeeming qualities with this show so far.
The action sequences are cool, when they actually happen but for my taste, the action scenes are just too few and far between. There's way too much boring nonsense. I honestly dont care about the girl stealing items and putting them back. It seems like a good story is there, but the writers are taking way too long to tell it. I also find it annoying when actual human actors try to act like anime characters. The actress playing the character "Yoko" tries to act like an anime character at times and for me it just comes off as weird. And what's with the soundtrack of this series?! The music absolutely does not fit. I suppose I can't blame the producers for trying something new, but this series is not working for me.
House of Ninjas, so far, is just too slow paced. I bailed after episode 2 and instead watched Ninja Assassin, Ninja Scroll and Ninja Kamui to get my ninja fix. Compare House of Ninjas to Ninja Kamui. Ninja Kamui sets up its characters within the first ten minutes of episode 1 and has action scene after action scene back to back!! The difference is night and day with these 2 series. It felt like a chore watching the first 2 episodes of House of Ninjas and that's really sad. I was really rooting for this series after seeing the promo so I am disappointed that the show doesnt live up to the trailer.....at least not by the end of episode 2.
