Episode 1 and 2:

This is my favorite new anime of the season now. Wow, I liked almost everything about it. Only thing I disliked was the bad rap-like music in a few scenes. But the story, the characters, it all feels so nice and un-cheap compared to the majority of this season. Also a relatively older main character, that's fresh.

I wonder if the ninja becomes a team member of the gymnastics team, too. Would be cool, considering they're already a trio in the opening.
