| I feel this series is a bit under-rated. It was quite a surprise for me. Right now I'm enjoying this series a lot. Feels overshadowed by SAO, which isn't that great right now...but main arc starts after the second to last side story. We'll see. Regardless, I think this will be my favorite of the season. Lets hope it stays that way. |

| I'm enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would! So glad that despite being based on Japanese historical events, this isn't close to being as boring as Hakuoki Remeiroku. However as good as this show is, the "under-rated" crown belongs to Kokoro Connect. I don't see it on your list, you should definitely check it out if you can stomach slice of life genre (with a twist)! Edit: KC moved up 300 places since last I checked (it was at 600-something and now it's at 367). By the end of the season I expect SAO to be my favorite but episodes 5 and 6 were underwhelming! another edit: This is ranked 894? Damn, maybe this IS the most underrated show this season as of now! I would expect this to break into the 500's if more people checked it out. Just by reading the synopsis, the premise comes off as cheesy so I'm sure a lot of people simply aren't giving it a chance. |

| i wrote a pretty good review about nobuna after i started watching it, i honestly look forward to it more than i do Sao. There both good in there own ways but i enjoy the characters in Nobuna more than the very short lived and not really expanded upon characters in Sao. |
| Agree with this. The other shows started off well but the quality of their episodes started to drop. I like dog days too though. |

| This is certainly my favourite if you factor out pure comedies, which are almost incomparable to something like this. I wasn't originally even planning to watch it. As to whether or not it is underrated? Yes probably a bit. I don't like to say with that though. After all, my opinion is pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. |

shock21 said: yeah, they put some action too, especially for side Chara like goemon and the BIG OPPAI *hehe :) well maybe it underrated because of problem with the historical genre? its posibble right? because sometimes Past-Era Story has boring line and it monotone. but in this anime i see the difference :D I've recommended it to all of my friends and they are enjoying it also and would have never really watched it without my recommendation. Sucks that people won't give it a chance by the summary alone. |

I was saying this is definitely my favourite other than the pure comedies (yuru yuri/binbougami ga!). Honestly, I couldn't give a favourite out of those 3 series, especially as they're so different from one another. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Personally I think this season is fucking wonderful. I can't choose which show I prefer the most. (I'm watching 9 different airing animes) |
| If you read over the responses on the official announcement of this adaption, you can see why it's so underrated. Pretty much everyone agreed that it would be terrible based on the premise that was given. Personally, though I have other favorites for this season, this one is definitely near the top of my most enjoyed show this season. I love the action, storyline, and characters. It's a nice change considering all the terrible action anime airing this season. |

You know what, I thought this was a terrible season for anime myself, but I've been surprised by a few that I didn't expect to like (Oda nobuna, Kokoro connect, total eclipse, and campione turned out to be better than I was expecting). Tari Tari is a little on the girly side but episodes 5 and 6 were quite good! |

| Am i the only one a little disappointed with this anime right now? The strategies are unrealistic the situations are laughable and for something focus are on war it is far too bright. And there is absolutely no sense of hierarchy in this anime what so ever. Being a lord of a country normally means you are highly respected by others and it is hard to get to you. No servants and no politicians just generals sitting around playing a little mini game of risk. Nobuna is a joke of a leader with her childish demeanor she always spares the enemy which caused countless deaths and destruction. But has no problem sending her troops to the slaughter house with failed attacks. Hell it is not even thought in this anime like those people are just pawns not really living. I feel as though Saru is the leader of the country and nobuna just goes him since she has nothing to offer of her own. Saru strategies and operations are not very believable but they work somehow but his knowledge on creating these strategies are creditable since he is from the future. Now dont get me wrong this bright and happy war/strategy anime is enjoyable and not as bad as i am making it but these are some heavy faults. If you think im wrong i would be happy do hear what you think. |

No servants and no politicians just generals sitting around playing a little mini game of risk. Maybe because it's not meant to focus on that factor? If this anime was darker toned like how a war should be then replacing historic figures with cute loli would be near pointless... DarthVantos said: I feel as though Saru is the leader of the country and nobuna just goes him since she has nothing to offer of her own.

You can't really beat someone who knows how the events play out beforehand. As mentioned: "a good lord makes good use of the best men he can find". :P By the way, I'm pretty sure it's Saru that is making Nobuna weak. According to the history mentioned in this anime Nobuna turns into a ruthless killer after killing his brother but that was prevented, thus happy anime stays happy. |
| So far this is my favorite. I expect SAO to pick up once they're done with the shitty side stories. SAO currently is like showing fillers arcs after the very first episode of the show. |
 |
| I'm pretty much in agreement, this is probably my favourite series at the moment for the season. I love Nobuna and Hanbei, they are both unbearably adorable. SAO has been a bit meh since Episode 3 or 4 meanwhile this series has stayed consistently good. Truly adored it since I saw Nobuna's little brother being a pimp. Loved that!! |
 |
| This series is better than I thought. In my top 5 this summer Love Nobuna and Saru isn't bad either The story, animation, sound are all good |
| Totally agree with you. As i just watched episode 6 and thought to myself "wow, thats another great episode." then i went to MAL to check the ranking and thought how TOTALLY UNDERRATED this show is. To think i thought this would be a cliche anime but how wrong was I? Its a anime filled with romance, action, comedy and drama. Definitely one of my top this season as i cant wait for the next week every time i finish a episode. People need to try watching the anime first instead of being detoured due to the summary given. Thats what happened Astarotte no Omocha and Dog Days but they both turned out to be fabulous. |
| It's not that great of an Anime because it has a lot of plot holes but it's certainly under-rated because of it's weak episode one. Kokoro Connect is still my favorite in this season. All I can say is that this Anime exceeded our expectations. Madhouse Studios showing why they picked this series up. |

| This is definately my favorite this season, then sao and campione. after that, probably hagure something and kokoro and imouto show are the last ones I watch |

Kokoro is actually tied with Nobuna now for me. I love Kokoro's drama but I also love Nobuna's...everything. |
|
| I wouldn't say it's my favorite series this season, but it's among my top 5 along with with Kokoro Connect, Hyouka, SOA, and Binbougami ga! (not in order). |

| for this season. 1. SAO 2. Oda Nobuna no Yabou the rest follows. |
 |
| Not the best, but I am pretty glad that I wasn't wrong to rate it 8/10. Being ranked 400+ is f*cking ridiculous for an anime as satisfying as this. I am looking forward for season 2. For more appearance of Masamune Date~ Also new characters such as Takeda Shingen dan Uesugi Kenshin. |
| Very good show indeed. The second best this summer for me out of the shows I already completed. Only Jinrui beats it by far. |

But in a way, it did exceed most, if not all expectations. It turned out to be surprisingly decent. |
 |
| While it may not be my favourite anime of this season (first being KC, then with binbougami ga) it certainly had my favourite lolis of this season. <3 Goemon :D |
 |
| Oda Nobuna no Yabou is a masterpiece..I regret not following this anime from episode 1.. Great plot,great action,good comedy(you will laugh at least once in every episode) Dog Days' They don't have serious enemies to face(at least not yet),but there is good action and comedy in every episode.. |
| Its 420 out there somewhere. |
