| It has been announced that the manga "Nobunagun" will get an anime adaptation. The manga is currently serialized in Monthly Comic Earth Star and has two volumes published so far. No other information is yet available. Summary of the story: Okura Shio is a highschool girl who was attacked during a school excursion. This triggered the soul of Oda Nobunaga inside her to wake up. Later she met other people with similar experiences and found that they are called "E Gene Holders" and they fight the "Evolved Invasion Species" from space under the command of the supranational organization "DOGOO".

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Oda Nobunaga again? Well it looks interesting. Maybe I'll plan to watch it |
 |
| Looks interesting, but I have my doubts. |
jmal said: Correct, but that would result in the loss of reference of the full name of "Nobunaga". At the end I decided to stick to the use of the standard romanji transliteration system by writing ガン as "Gan" instead of "Gun" after giving some thoughts about it.I'm assuming it's intended to be NobunaGun since this is the manga where Nobunaga is literally a gun or something (also how others sites have reported the title). |

| This Nobunaga + highschool + alien premise has been done before. The drawing designs remind me of older manga, which is unappealing to me. Concept art also looks like it has some cyber punk influences. Controlling of spirits plot is similar to Sharman King and Hikaru No Go. This can be either make or break for me. I'll keep an eye on it for now. |
 |
| Personally I prefer a conservative approach when it comes to transliteration - when in doubt follow the standard mechanism. jmal said: For this I'd leave it to our Database Moderators to make the final decision. The manga itself is so little known that there is simply no mention of it anywhere in English websites, at least as far as I manage to check so far, so I could not even find out how others would transcribe the name in English. In any case I expect the MAL entry will use gun. |

| Looks interesting. I might watch this |
 |
| i wonder how Oda Nobunaga feels being referenced in extremely absurd ways? lol |

| My Twitter My Tumblr - Anime Blogging on current airing season as I watch them. My deviantArt - Anime FanArts. Please leave replies on my profile page, as I am unlikely to see them otherwise. Thanks. |
| I'm expecting to see something inbetween Shadow Star Narutaru/Bokurano and Biscuit Hammer, at least that is the kind of thing I would hope to see with this premise. Art looks intriguing. |
| That description sounded less and less interesting as it went along. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |

| Uh, no entry of this on MAL yet? Meh I'll give this a shot but doesn't sound too appealing to me. |
 |
| New anime are always welcome...^_^ But I'm not looking forward to it much... |

luinthoron said: Good catch. Since the official English name is found to be "Nobunagun" I have changed the title to "Nobungun" as this takes precedence over whatever transliteration system that is used.The site linked in your original news post has it written as 'Nobunagun' under the katakana title. ;) |

| One of those premises that could be really fun and crazy or just pretty pointless and there's just really no way of telling in the slightest which way it will go. I'll look at it when it comes out and hope for the best. |
 |
| Looks completely awful. Not even going to bother. |
| . |
| Thanks for the information, for now I do not imbalance, not having good cards in your hand to decide whether to view it or follow it just to pass the time. We will see later. |
 |
| Doesn't sound that good. |
 |
| Sounds stupid, unless it involves some strategy battle or something |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| seems interesting. |
 |
| uh wut |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| souls of old historic figures into weapons? oh, Shaman Queen. |
  |
| not gonna watch it and the graphic don't look that good to me too |
| Character design doesn't appeal me at all, but we'll see how it does. |
 |
| i'm not a fan of the Character Design...still, if I have time I might give it a shot. |
 |
| Character design is not to my taste at all, everything else might be good if watched though. |
 |
| sounds. fucking. terrible. |
| It sounded really cool initially and tapered off as I read more. I'll judge it fully once it starts though. |
| According to animeanime it will be released January 2014. Pictures of the monthly comic are also in the article showing the Jan 2014 release |

| I'm always looking forward to anything Sengoku related, though some titles end up disappointing. Gotta find out if this is good or not ^^. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| This sounds kinda familiar. I have a feeling that I've seen this somewhere, but I'm not sure where. |
