Season 1 • Episode 24
LatestShinobu's goal of becoming a full-fledged ninja is finally within her grasp! Now she just has to pass the dreaded Ninja Graduation Exam! She'll need to use every technique that Onsokumaru's ever taught her! Her chances don't exactly look promising, do they?
Shinobu is a naive ninja-in-training. In order to test her ninja abilites, she must steal the panties of all the high school girls. The first house she stops at is the abode of one Kaede Shiranui, who happens to catch Shinobu in the act. Kaeda is the voice of reason and the two girls become quick friends, despite a round yellow ball-thing who claims to be a ninja master and tries to get in the way of their friendship.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 12-minute runtime was unusual for 2004 anime—director Hitoyuki Matsui specifically wanted punchy, gag-driven pacing over traditional half-hours.
Ninja Nonsense parodies the 'kunoichi' fanservice trope by making its female ninja utterly inept at seduction while accidentally succeeding at friendship.
