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".

Nobunagun on MAL

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.

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).
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.

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.

In any case I expect the MAL entry will use gun.
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.

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.

The site linked in your original news post has it written as 'Nobunagun' under the katakana title. ;)

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.

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.

The first sentence of the summary brought up some deja vu. However, girl is better than boy in this case, so I read on.

During a school excursion she was attacked and this triggered the soul of Oda Nobunaga inside her to wake up.

Oh, Japan, you so silly.

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.
