Nintama Rantaro is a comedic anime series based on Sobe Amako‘s manga “Rakudai Ninja Rantaro.” Originally serialized in the Asahi Shogakusei Shimbun from April 1986 to October 2019, the manga enjoyed a 33-year run. The story follows young ninja trainees as they attend a ninjutsu academy with the goal of becoming top-tier ninjas.
The story of Nintama Rantaro is described as follows:
Rantaro, Kirimaru, and Shinbei are far from being excellent ninjas. As they embark on their training at the ninja school, they are joined by their tongue-in-cheek friends, ninja masters, and idol senior ninja trainees. All the unbelievable mistakes and confusion over the course of their training sets the base for loads of fun and entertainment.
