Oda Nobuna no Yabou

High school student Yoshiharu Sagara wakes up and finds himself in the middle of a raging Sengoku period battle. He is saved by the legendary Hideyoshi Toyotomi, but at the cost of the hero's life. With his dying breath, the warrior pleads for Yoshiharu to become a feudal lord in his place. Now that the course of history has been changed, Yoshiharu pledges to keep the timeline from diverging any further. Yet, after rescuing Nobuna Oda—whom he discovers is actually the fabled Nobunaga Oda's female counterpart—Yoshiharu realizes he has been transported to an alternate reality where most of Japan's historical warlords are now cute girls!

To set things right and find a way back home, Yoshiharu agrees to become one of Nobuna's retainers and assist her in a conquest of Japan. As Nobuna initiates her campaign, Yoshiharu discovers that the history he learned from playing the video game "Nobunaga's Ambition" allows him to predict future events and turn the tide of war. Using this invaluable gift to aid the Oda clan's beautiful generals, Yoshiharu hopes to help his new lord fulfill her dream and win the hearts of women everywhere.

Historical anime where we see Nobuna's story, only they change the genre and well. Actually I just finished this anime, and I was surprised. The relationship that the characters have with the protagonist and how he manages to change them is very well done. Then we see a typical isekai main character with a harem more or less. I recommend it if you like historical fights and stuff. The animation is very good, the soundtrack does not disappoint, and the character development is very good. The design is also very nice to see, I love how they use the historical knowledge that the protagonist has ... to help the waifu. I recommend it

Anime historico donde vemos la historia de Nobuna, solo que le cambian el genero y bueno. La verdad acabo de terminar este anime, y me sorprendió. La relación que tienen los personajes con el protagonista y como él logra que cambien esta muy bien hecho. Después vemos a un prota de isekai típico con un harem más o menos. Lo recomiendo si te gustan las peleas históricas y eso. La animacion esta muy bien, la banda sonora no decepciona, y el desarrollo de personajes es muy bueno. El diseño tambien es muy lindo de ver, me encanta como usan el conocimiento historico que tiene el protagonista para ayudar a la waifu. Lo recomiendo

Mixed Feelings

The Monkey's Journey To Nobuna Panties

The Ambition of Oda Nobuna Is an anime that asked a question, would the Sengoku period be better If we replace the men with cute anime girls, and the answer is no but hell if isn't cute.

Are you a person who feels Nostalgia for the 2010s anime, anime where the main character is obnoxious and surrounded by lollies, and constantly getting ahead by not following orders. Then this is the Nostalgia you need.

The premise of the anime is just so funny. a man who's in love with old Japan, but now all his favorite characters are women and he can ... put his dick in them, and then the story just continues in the most funny and lollies like way. It's such a dumb premise, but hey I am entertained completely and the character designs for the women and lollies are cute.

And it doesn't help that Oda Nobuna Is cute and ambitious, an anime girl that is worth following!
What is the substance of the anime? it is to see how history changed throughout the protagonist actions, and if he can make and happy ending for Nobuna,
And that is not bad at all, even if he's surrounded by very young lollies.

This is a pretty damn bad anime. A whole lot of nothing happens and I actually really like the Senogoku Period and Nobunaga's story, so this should be up my alley but nope!

There is absolutely zero characterization, just very brief goals that come out of nowhere with no meaning. They say they care or want this and that for no reason but we're made to just go with it. Probably the worst part of this anime is there is no sense of where they are. We don't see any traveling and despite them just instantly transporting to one province to another, looking identical, there's no ... sense of space or tangibility that grounds these characters. Mino, Oumi and Owari look exactly the same with the tiniest of differences, the only reason I know they're in a different place is cause the anime said so! They live in some CGI green plain land! Time also just barely exists, days, weeks, months and years just go by with no visible changes or development. The characters exist in this void of nothing burger.

I thought this anime could at least have some interesting fun characters but they don't even focus on any of the girls! That's the least they could do! Characters are just presented and then instantly forgotten for the next set of characters.

The only thing this anime has going for it, the ONLY thing is the art style and animation quality. Not so much actual animation, it's rather basic but the designs and digital processing is pretty good, especially for its time, it looks better than most anime nowadays. Shibata and Toshiie were the only characters I looked forward to seeing.

But yeah this is an awful anime, don't waste your time as I did, I just needed some background noise but my god this was a bad anime. Seek help.
