     Are you sure you meant Pioneer's website?  Pioneer 
doesn't have it on their webpage. (If I missed it, could 
you point it out to me?) However, AIC does have a bit of 
info about Ninja Mono, although it's on Youmex's server, 
which is why it is only in Japanese.  
     You see, Ninja Mono is owned by Youmex.  They hold 
the distribution rights.  Pioneer doesn't have the rights 
to it in Japan, and I haven't heard of Pioneer 
getting the US rights yet.  Have they?  
     I'm not sure, but I heard that Media Blasters might 
have bought the rights to Ninja Mono to release it in the
US.  I heard from someone that attended their panel at 
Anime Expo 98 that they would be releasing it (although 
he may have heard it wrong, not sure).  I'd like to find 
out if someone really does have the US distribution rights.  
     I asked AIC, and they're not sure, since it would 
have been handled mainly through Youmex.  I wish I could 
ask Media Blasters, although they don't list any e-mail 
addresses on their webpage.  I'd call them, but I'd prefer 
not to have to pay the long distance phone call.  
     I like the series and the artwork (cels) too.  The 
background art is wonderful.  Even if you watch it in 
Japanese, you'll still be able to get the basic plot.
