Synopsis: Sagara Yoshiharu, a typical Japanese teenager that loves the Sengoku Era as well as everything in the same franchise. Out of the blue, he suddenly takes Kinoshita Tokichiro’s place and starts serving under the Oda Clan’s leader. However, all of the generals in that time are all girls! How will Sagara Yoshiharu take this, and will he be able to help Oda Nobuna to achieve her dream of uniting Japan and making it a free country?
Story-9/10-
This anime is about Sagara Yoshiharu, who travels back into the Sengoku era where feudal lords fight among each other to expand their territory and to make Japan free from other countries. The anime opens with our main character, Sagara Yoshiharu, trapped in a battle field. He meets the leader of the Oda clan, Oda Nobunaga. He was really shocked to discover that the man who unified the whole Japan is actually a young tsundere blonde. She’s not Oda Nobunaga; her name is Oda Nobuna. Sagara then decides to serve under her and using his knowledge of playing video games to help Oda. Than he has proved to be a valuable weapon for Oda. He helps her to correct her actions and to predict the events to give Oda the advantage. He also vowed to make sure she’s alive after she conquered Japan.
Music/Animation-8/10-
In terms of character, the anime did a heck of a good job at it. There is a huge range of character design here from the cute kin of character up to the grown up old type adult character.
The animation is also one of the anime’s best parts. The fight scenes are
short but still, they are good.

The anime’s OP is “Link” by Aimi. This really captures the anime’s theme and it nicely reflects the relationship of the two main characters.
The anime ED song is “Hikari” by Makino Mizuta. It’s a slow song with a romantic theme to it. It has a way too much fun service, but still, it’s good.
Characters-9/10-
First of all I was like holy Neon genesis evangelion, famous Japanese commanders are GIRLS!?I was about to drop it, but that I found the idea pretty interesting. C’mon new is always fun!
Yoshiharu: He came as a harem lead and I fairly enjoyed watching his exploits and how he desperately needed his Loli Brigade to serve him. He’s potentially digging his own grave by changing the course of history as his knowledge of the events to occur are being skewed, and if that happens, he’s of no use. At least some things go right for him.
Oda Nobuna: If she’s not in her armor, she’s usually walking around with a coat and bra showing. Nobuna is the obvious gender bent Nobunaga, the great unifier of Japan. Not much I want to say about her, but she’s a pretty strong female lead and she’s the one who usually saves the day.
Katsuie: Katsuie doesn’t have her name changed and one of the big differences in actual history and this series is that Katsuie formally joins Nobunaga’s service after Nobukatsu’s execution.She so so over powered, little but amazingly strong. She was a simple character but I wished to see more of her.
Nagahide: She serves as advisor also has a habit to give people scores. Not much to say.
Toshiie: Better known as Inuchiyo in the series. She’s given monstrous strength and has great skill with a spear.
Goemon:Isn’t a version of some historical character She’s just amazing you must see yourself, so adorable.
Mitsuhide: In history he excited rebellion against Oda, however in this series the main tries his best to never let that happen.
Shigeharu: Hanbei in this case. Her role is similar to actual history, he initally served the Saito clan but then led an uprising at Inaba. This led to Hideyoshi asking him to join his forces. Just like that, Hanbei joins the cast and she greatly admires our main. Plus she is an Onmyōdzi.
Overall-8.5/10-
Good show. Yes, they made famous Japanease generals to be girls, all that stuff with tsundere and loli, which I don’t like much, but the only thing why I do admire this anime is that they made all famous Japanese generals of Sengoku times to be a girls. Also it has a potential second season! Better watch before season 2 comes up, or you’re going to miss out on quite a bit. read more

When you look at the cover Oda Nobuna no Yabou, you would immediately think "oh, its just another cliche harem series", I wouldn't blame you if you did as it does look like one and I myself thought of it as one, but when you actually watch it you realize that there is simply more to it than that, its definitely not a tasteless cliche and although it has many female characters, it doesn't present itself as a stereotypical harem where they are all attracted to the male lead.
I won't bother with the introductions because I know you are smart enough to have read the synopsis first, so I won't repeat anything you already know. Instead I will get straight onto the review.
Story: 8.5/10
The thing that most other cliche harem/romance animes out there fail at is the story, they continuously throw in unneeded fanservice and ecchi scenes to please the viewers instead of telling the story. However, unlike them ONnY cuts the ecchi short and focuses more on giving the viewers a good story and plot, which is commendable. However although i say this, they put in all the fanservice in the ending credits lolz XD but its much better than putting it in the episode itself where it will ruin the storytelling and the serious aspect of the anime
So far the storytelling has been superb and the plot has been interesting, its based on real historical events that happen in the Sengoku Era where Oda Nobuna (female version), the leader of the Oda Clan has an ambition of conquering the whole of Japan, but in order to do so she must take on rival clans and handle internal affairs, the one who helps her on her conquest is Sagara Yoshiharu who is a huge fan of the original Nobunaga Oda, he uses his knowledge from the game he played "Nobunaga's Ambition" to assist her by telling her what she needs to do and how she must do it. It gets more interesting as the story goes on where you learn more about Nobuna, alliances are made and as other characters are introduced.
The only plot hole that I've encountered so far is how Sagara was able to time travel back in time and how all the major samarai's turned into girls. However its an anime, so there's no point nitpicking on these small points when its purely fiction and doesn't really need to be explained.
Art: 8.5/10
There isn't much to say about this, the characters are nicely drawn and the vibrant colours and costumes suit the characters really well, its based on clothes of the Sengoku period but its been altered and changed slightly to suit the characters wearing them, which is a good point about this anime because it gives off a unique feeling to them. The action scenes and fighting aren't too shabby either and are nicely animated.
Sound: 8/10
The opening theme is fine and suits the anime, the voice acting is also done pretty well, the characters that have a mature voice aren't too husky and the characters that have a sweet and childish voice aren't too high pitched and loli-like. The voice acting in serious situations are done well and doesn't feel forced and the same can be said for the comical situations where there is a bit of comedy.
Characters: 8.5/10
Yes the characters are a bit clichéd but they don't act as if they are in a cliché harem anime, instead of the girls falling for the male lead like they should, they have no respect for him and call him a monkey ("saru") which is taken from his name *S*agara Yoshih*aru*.
The main Heroine Nobuna is a tsundere character but isn't an annoying kind of tsundere, more of a cute and pleasant tsundere unlike all the usual clichéd bitchy tsunderes. She can also handle herself just fine, she isn't a weak character who relies heavily on the male lead, although Yoshiharu is from the future and knows exactly what Nobuna should do, she makes it pretty clear to him that she doesn't want to be told what to do and can make her own decisions. As time goes by you also start to learn more about her character and more about her ambitions.
However what surprised me the most was the main male lead Sagara Yoshiharu, his character is pretty unique, he is a weakling but he isn't weak-willed, even though he acts like a bit of an idiot he helps out using his knowledge and takes command in battle. Although he is a pervert, he isn't overly horny that it ruins his character. He is a sort of pleasant and funny male lead that you can't help but like.
There really isn't much of a harem aspect in the anime where the female characters fall for Yoshiharu one by one, the only romance that is hinted is between him and Nobuna, unlike the usual overly tsundere female and normal male relationship that occurs frequently in anime, this is one of those rare cases where they are both tsunderes, the best example that i could give you that is similar to this is okabe's and kurisu's (steins gate) love-hate relationship. They both ridicule each other and argue but they actually care for one another but they refuse to admit it.
Enjoyment: 9/10
Its very entertaining to watch, the story isn't boring and actually teaches you about Japanese history, Yoshiharu is hilarious and its interesting to see him in action, its also quite funny when he and Nobuna argue, the comedy doesn't ruin the seriousness of the anime and it does well in changing between the comical moments and serious moments.
Overall: 9/10
I haven't finished the anime but the episodes I have watched have been great and its been getting better and better as the episodes go on. So don't be discouraged to watch this anime just because it looks like another stereotypical anime because this is a good example of how "you shouldn't judge a book by its cover". read more

Both have to do with Samurai and mix old technology with the new. Both are based off historical names and clans but use literary creativity. Both revolve around those figures and names with beautiful girls instead of guys.
+Samurai Girls fighting
+Ecchi,Comedy, Romance
The girls in the show are great samurai lords
Based in the Same time Period- Sengoku
The the main guy is perceived as kind of a pervert (more so in Oda Nobuna)
Both series contain action, comedy, and a little ecchi that takes place in the historical era.
Both series also contain characters of stark personalities
-Both are about samurais, both have the same atmosphere, cute girls.
-Both based on the same time Period.
-Also both male protagonists are similar.
• Both have to do with Samurai.
• Both revolve around beautiful girls.
• Both are based off historical names and clans.

If at any point through the 50+ eps of ZnT you got bored, you might wanna check out Oda Nobuna - the concept's kinda similar, but Oda is much more intense and has no filler-like slowdowns...
...and if Oda Nobuna no Yabou leaves you craving for more, there's this pretty good 4-season show called Zero no Tsukaima that has a lot in common and is really worth watching :)
-Both feature the male protagonist being transported from present day Japan to an alternate world. In Oda Nobuna, the protagonist is transported back in time to the feudal age of japan. In ZnT, he is transported to another world filled with magic and monsters.
-Both male MCs have strong beliefs and want to protect others.
-The main female lead both have tsundere personalities. In ZnT, she is constantly hitting, scolding, and at odds with the MC. In Oda Nobuna, she has the same traits but the tsundere is turned down a notch.
-Both have a harem feel to it. The harem is more apparent in ZnT while in Oda Nobuna, it takes a little bit longer to develop.
-Both have romance. Main female leads fall for the MC.
in both animes the heroine is tsundere and are underestimated.. the boys are also similar- they both come from a different world or time, and their character the same ..
Both shows have a lot of similarities.
For one thing, both shows are Tsunderes, meaning that they have a dominant female over the male. In both cases the girl is a short and cute person with high standards who always bosses the main character around, calling him insults like Monkey or Dog, even though they really care for that person.
The second similarity would be that both main characters are from a different world(modern japan), having accidentally fallen into the world they are now, thus giving them knowledge that helps a lot through the adventure. The only difference here is that while in Zero no Tsukaima, the main character is from a different world completely and has landed into a fantasy world with 2 moons, in Oda Nobuna no Yabou, the main character comes from the future and has landed into the past during the wars in Japan.
Both animes are VERY similar. Though I can promise you you'll enjoy Oda Nobuna a lot more as it does a lot of things a lot better then Zero no Tsukaima. That's my personal thought anyway.
Sucked into another world, the protagonists use their knowledge of modern technology to help their tsundere counterparts succeed.
Does two animes are to similar. Both protagonist come from modern world to medieval one than they both become servant of noble girl and they both eventually become heroes they both start to hawe filings for that girl but they refuse to admit it and both protagonist are nearly same caracters as well as that girls both protagonist are suraunded with prety girls that are in lowe with him both animes are Action/Comedy/Romance/Harem and both are very good animes.
