| Da Vinci down in first episode COME ON! He is one my favourite historical figures ;___; Really good first episode although I don´t know how to feel about the mecha part if whether it ruined the setup or it was good (conflicted feelings) |
| wow looks so good i already want a 2nd season |
| i thought it was interesting, i will watch it for another ep or two, both mechas so far, this and Buddy Complex have been confusing though |
 |
| Ughhhhh CGI |
| FUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. so this is war.. err, mecha with fictional two worlds and characters of historical reference names but only vaguely resembling them.. the first episode showed how the setting mocks you in every way but why should we care? heck, they should even add more HAM.. oh, Kawamori.. you always entertain me with all your crazy ideas of putting mecha on anything.. as is said by a guy in Kawamori's comments: Fatalpulse said: Shoji Kawamori's formula to make a good anime: Step 1: Get your theme Step 2: Add robots and sci-fi Step 3: Introduce a token moe character Step 4: Use ludicurous amounts of CGI Step 5: Get a J-pop singer/group to do all the OP/ED/intermission songs Step 6: Determine if everything aboves has potential for going on a serious or stupid route. - If serious, make a grand space opera - If stupid, make it even stupider and over the top |

| This series will be Code Geass all over again unless the writers are surprisingly good. |
 |
| Everything was fine until they showed Nobunagas mech. God that thing is ugly. |
| During the opening of the episode I was expecting a demon related anime. I jumped to the conclusion that they were burning witches? I was actually psyched for that and gave me hope for this season. I was wrong and ended up with mechas. None the less I enjoyed the episode and I shall eagerly await episode 2. This episode reminded me of the fable the boy that cried wolf. In the end the wolf attacked but the peoples ignorance led to their demise. I also like the art style and the main 3. Monkey is probably my favorite at the moment, was cook how he was running on par with that horse like creature. Mechas are seriously starting to get repetitive for me. I reckon i would have enjoyed it more without the mechas. |

I am the punishment of God, If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you. |
| I hope it has hot-blooded action since the MC is a hotblooded protagonist. Well if it helps the mech designs were by the same guy who did the mech designs for other famous series such as the majority of the Macross series.So I'm expecting some fluid transformation like the mechs in Macross |

| big boob blue eye blonde = instant watch np |

| Question : Did they put CGI on characters or Mecha? |

| Ok frist episode but to early to tell if it's worth watching or not. |
| Sengoku era + Mecah and historical figures too |

| That was amazing lmao! Damn, this was entertaining as hell if nothing else. XD |
 |
| The pigs' tails :P "The Fool has awakened. How wonderful!" Something tells me I'm going to like her :P Never been fond of historical anime before, but this was pretty cool albeit a bit out there. |
| Meh, I'm not really a big fan of mecha anime. The setting was creative, but it seemed strange and I didn't really like it. The story was also all over the place and I found it somewhat hard to follow. I'm also not a big fan of CGI in anime. Right now I feel neutral about it, I think I need to watch a few more episodes and see what happens. |
| At first I thought this was gong to a historical feudal era anime, but it was actually better than I expected. The savior-king, I cannot wait to see what the "fool" can do with the mech. Great first episode!!! |
 |
| I loved it. At least more than buddy complex so far. |
"Rejoice! We are humans— we are the most talented people! Precisely because we were born without any ability— we can achieve anything— this is the will of the weakest race!" – Sora, ‘No game No life Vol.01’ |
| Sengoku era? Mech? Oda Nobunaga being helped by Jeanne d'Arc and Leonardo Da Vinci? King Arthur and Ferdinand Magellan (I guess it's him) as well? Why thank you, I do plan to keep watching. |
Mirorin said: Reminds me of Sengoku Basara, and oddly Brave 10 as well. Definitely agreed with the Brave 10, especially in the beginning with all the silhouettes of the people. It probably also has to do with the similar-ish character designs. That aside, this was...kind of weird? Like some said, it felt a little hard to follow. |
| Well, it was strange and random, and has too many historical characters for just one anime, but I will watch more episodes |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| I probably enjoyed this more than I should've. I don't really watch a whole lot of mecha. I like how the different eras are intertwined as two seperate worlds. The setting is interesting. Pretty crazy, but interesting nonetheless. Will definitely be watching next week. Also, Jeanne is hot. I hope theres a decent amount of romance between her and Nobunaga (though it looks like there most likely will be) |
| i don't know what to think. I would say it reminded me of Samurai 7 combined with Fate/Zero |
 |
| Ughhhh. I hate lazily cobbled together historical fiction mixed with sci-fi. It always feels like a bunch of people each had their own idea and threw them all in a blender. It's a shame too, because the cast is excellent. |
| might be the first one I drop this season, i despise CGI also. |
 |
| It's interesting but at the same time feels like it's all over the place. So many themes and characters like the writer thought "oh this and this seem interesting...mix it all together and well if turns out bad, we'll just figure it out from there." I'll stick around for a while I guess. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I'm a sucker for a warring states setting anime, mechas or not. |

Apology said: And native language of France seems to be Japanese too, something that I wasn't aware.Interesting anime, ancient history combined with modernity. Have a good ED. I did not know that Da Vinci speak Japanese. Quite curious to where this is going. There sure is a lot of stuff in this series. I'm quite interested nonetheless. |
| not bad not bad my 2nd time watching a sengoku theme animu jeanne iz hawt removed the mecha and we're good jk lol |
| "IT WAS INEVITABLE" With this deep and long quote I'm going to say, it was inevitable that I was going to enjoy this show. Freakin' Mamoru Miyano as Nobunaga, everytime he spoke I pictured in my mind Okarin. Anyway, it's indeed well-done, I don't really like the character design more like bishounen-design but I'm going to get used to it. As for the concept we can't say anything so far. It seems like Jeanne and Nobunaga knew each other in the past, so I bet it's a past-love as "Sousei no Aquarion" between Apollo and Sylvie. I just hope it doesn't turn out as "Aquarion EVOL". Looking forward to see the mecha/design better next episode. Oh the music is also good. olboyfloats said: So it's like the 1400's but not really it's also kinda the future and armies are fighting with swords and stuff still but they also have giant mech robot things I think that the East is less-developed than the tribes of the Stars, also I can guess that Eastern people are attached to their old culture which is why they seem to still use swords/daggers ect. |

| As expected of Kawamori. Time to FUCK YEAH! |
 |
| So much history mixed together Mixed impression. Interesting so far and has potential I love the energetic ost and that seiyuus lineup Nice episode |
| Definitely not your usual setting, i guess. I don't think i'll be continuing. Mecha + historical/feudal japan+sci-fi space travelling + demons/witches is just too much. The episode was very messy and the different genres make the art look really weird. Maybe it'll balance out later on but meh i don't think i care enough to want to know what happens next. |
| They mixed so many genres together lol. The main character looks pretty cool well see how this one goes I always enjoy another mecha. |
 |
| That was an extremely scattered first episode. Not sure if I'll follow this one. |
| As incomprehensible as I knew it'd be. |
| Some big names already in the first episode. Well, I'm interested in this one. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I liked how messy the settings are in this anime... Looking forward to see how much more randomness could it go... |
| Considering how big of a history nerd I am, I will defiantly enjoy this. The first episode was pretty good. Looking forward to seeing how well animated the fight scenes are. |
