Off to a decent start. Nabari no Ou centers around a main character who doesn’t really care that he’s this supernatural savior of the ninja world, while surrounded by a small group of guardian ninja who pledge themselves to protect him from attack. He cannot initially control the power within him and so these guardians must teach him to become a ninja and harness it.
I’ve seen the first two episodes so far and there was some good action, fun dynamics between the main characters, and an interesting premise. Quite honestly I can’t help but draw the Naruto comparison, and it feels like a more substantial, short-form Naruto. I’m not so sure I’ll be following it as that’s not quite my cup of tea, but should I get a recommendation a bit farther into the season I may check it out again.
