| well that was terrible |
| ok i was looking forward to this and i have to say this episode was alright. Like someone mentioned above, this can turn out pretty epic or pretty bad but we still have a lot to see, so I'm excited. Although i read the summary, i still wasn't expecting to see the spaceships and the mecha looking so futuristic. That was interesting but a bit confusing. I like the trio so far but Jeanne, not too sure yet. |
| Nice. Loving the character art done in this. That war bot that Nobunaga had looks bad ass. |
 |
| This show is such a mess. Mixing up historical settings, then mechas and spaceships and random Italian. Don't know how I could enjoy this as much as I did. Then again, the soundrack and the voice acting are amazing and enough to keep me watching for now. |
 |
| A couple of extremely gross characters and the overall shoujo aura huh... I'll watch a couple of more epsiodes before I decide whether to drop it or not. |
 |
| HOUOUIN KYOUMA |
| CG was meh. Story was ok I guess. |
 |
| Rather strange, putting it mildly. I think it'll end up being fun to watch even though the quality is looking below average. |
 |
| This is like Sengoku Basura meets Gundam. Hooray for more Mamo! Looks like he can go all out with his character like he usually does. I'm guessing King Arthur will be the big bad in this. |

| As expected from Shoji Kawamori his latest creation brims with ambition and pathos though I can't help but wonder if he has bitten off more than he can chew this time. It seems this show is going for an epic atmosphere but the wooden characterization along with stilted dialogue shown so far is not very promising. It needs to ham it up or make everything a bit more intense to make it work for me but for now the grand vision that seems to underlie this series is enough to pull me in. It probably helps that the background art was absolutely gorgeous at times. The opening scene that depicted the historically correct version of events makes me wonder if these characters are supposed to be reincarnations of their historical namesakes in the future with that being an important plot point rather than them simply being poorly thought out reimaginations. |
 |
| Yeah not my cup of tea just wanted to see what it was wont be watching any further. |
 |
| I wanna know what they were smoking when they came up with this setting because its just batshit crazy. Now all it has to do is make sure action is not a CG eyesore that I'm fearing it will be and it might turn out a decent over-the top mecha series a la Valvrave minus angtsy high school protagonist. |
| Pfft, da Vinci was a ham in his first appearance. More please. This looks to be interesting. Haven't really watched historical anime that I can think of, but it seems to have a bit of a fantasy feel to it. Going to be pretty interesting how they do the two stories of East and West. The scenery was really nice to look at, though the character designs aren't bad (nothing too memorable just yet, need to spend more time with them). That's one epic-looking mecha at the end. Here's to hoping it lives up to its appearance. So yeah, picked it up randomly and so it looks like I'm here to stay. It better surprise me this season, because so far from what I can tell, the season's started out nicely. |

| AOTY 0/10 el psy congroo |
| Interesting. |
 |
| That was hard to follow. Too much jumping around from place to place. Strange setting. Maybe it will turn out alright |
 |
| found it rather interesting, will defo watch the next ep |
| This is interesting. I think I'm gonna keep watching a few more episodes to see how it goes. |
 |
| Didn't really make much sense and it was weird seeing people named Magellan, Da Vinci, King Arthur, etc all in the same time period. The animation was really good and really bad at times. The techonology is all over the place (very rural setting and some tuba microphone -> space ships and mechs). |
| Eh, this episode wasn't very good. Unique setting but the plot seems like it is gonna be pretty predictable and uninteresting. Backgrounds look really nice but the character designs are awful, it is like they put every bad anime trope into one character in the cases of Jeanne and Nobunaga. Soundtrack is great it seems which I feel will be this shows saving grace, Haven't heard the OP yet but the ED was a pretty standard J-Pop track. I will give this show three episodes due to the soundtrack and Miyano Mamoru's performance. At best we may have another G Gundam on our hands, at worst we may have another shitty shounen mecha. |
| People calling this "historical"? Don't make me laugh... Just forget about the historical part and assume this is mecha.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| This show is fucking bananas. I mean... I know these characters are only incredibly loosely based on the historical figures for whom they're named, but... why is Jeanne d'Arc cooperating with a man who says he works for the King of England? And why is the Italian Da Vinci affiliated with the King of England in the first place? And then there's Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese man who worked for the Spanish. What's he doing reporting to King Arthur? None of these people even lived in the same eras anyway. The character list also includes Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great. I mean, Jesus Christ (don't tell me he's making an appearance too), at least all the Japanese characters are from the Sengoku era (as far as I can tell). I'm going to turn off my brain now. Well... at least it wasn't boring. I hope it makes more sense in future episodes. |

| With a premise this ridiculous this might turn really bad or good. I'll probably watch this until the end. With that said, Jeanne's character design is really boring. Not that the others are any better but at least they were distinctive enough. |
| It was fine.Nothing special, nothing bad.I liked ost and its visually really nice.Good seiyuu choice as well...i mean, its Sugita as da Vinci guys. Anyways for now its 6/10, but i can see it has potential to become a higher rating.For me at least. |
 |
| awkward~ samurai/samurai robots/space ships/different worlds/a gundam all in one |
 |
| 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? |
