THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The change in animation styles at times kind of threw me off, but with as many fights as there is going to be in the entire thing I suppose it has to be a little different here and there to keep it interesting.

The accuracy to the source and references to the games are still great! Everything from Houjou's base to music from the games to referencing Yoshimoto's main stage. XD

And I end up somewhat surprised at myself when


LOVED Shingen in this episode. Keiji next week, can't wait.

Hell yeah Keiji next week! WASSHOI WASSHOI!

For some reason, I expect Zabi, Itsuki and that old man with huge sword (forgot his name, yeah) to appear pretty soon, as it seems that they want to deal with less popular characters early and leave late episodes for ones that matter.

I must admit, they found a pretty clever way to make Masamune-Yukimura fights different. And we're going to see a lot of those, so it's all good for me.

Finally, some Oda family action. Ranmaru is much more awesome than I thought while playing him - I mean, did you see how many arrows did he leave around Kojuro?

And Nobunaga is so epic, he didn't even say a word. That's a true villain for you. I hope Hideyoshi will make an appearance too, though - nothing beats a good old soldier as a weapon.

Another great episode. Nobunaga is well shown in this series.
My favorite parts
Masamune and his English but this scene is incredible. I liked American movie Braveheart. Good detail also. DVD is going to be good.


Like serious look and tone of Nobunaga

Two idiots fighting through almost the entirety of the episode, while Nobunaga steals the show without uttering a single word.

Very nice.

Do you have to have played the game or whatever the source material for this anime is to enjoy this show?

Here is what i see casually watching this and not knowing anything about the material before:
-Paper thin characters
-PAINFUL dialogue
-No overall plot
-combat often devolves in to stereotypically bad, over the top scenes that more resemble two people throwing neon paint at each other more than fighting (ie dragon ball z in ancient Japan)

This episode was even worse than the first one, except for the last 5 or so minutes when mr dual spears met the dark lord, that was actually a quite good scene i thought. Not sure if i am just going to drop this series or hope that they build on the good end of this episode (but i doubt it) yet. All i know is this series reminds me a hell of a lot of Queen's blade which is more or less the same, except with rampant female nudity. If i'm forced to watch one extremely mediocre show, i'd chose the one that also has nudity any day, but of course i'm not forced to so...

I watched another episode, despite what I said last episode. The quality of the animation is just too good. It could be worth the watch even with only that. There were 3 major anwesomely animated action scenes in this episode. It was also not as ridiculous as the last one and the introduction of the "bad guy" was well done, too.

Unsure what to do about this. :P

Mostly. This show, like the games, assume the viewer already knows the history behind it. I assume in Japan the history of the Sengoku period is well known, much like the revolutionary/civil wars are well known to Americans, so there's really no need to go to great lengths explaining everything. This is a Japanese program for Japanese viewers, after all.

Man I loved it!! Taking a Japanese history course in college at the moment and all these characters appearing from history are awesome. With all the shows I'm watching right now I love this crazy ridiculous epicness!! The fights put me off at first, but now I'm beginning to like the art style and super powers.

I dunno, something about this show greatly annoys me. I guess I was expecting it to be more serious and ended up with this over the top action series. Oh well, maybe I'll try again from the first episode in a couple days >.>

Oh, God this show is ridiculous! Though I'm glad that they aren't pulling any punches. It feels like an American cartoon. But really, all I care about is Norio Wakamoto...and Takehito Koyasu. Sasuke seems much more quirky than I saw in the last episode. I'll be entertained if I have one of them in each episode.

even though it seems like the plot will be predictable i gotta say this series is freakin awesome. it's just plain fun and entertaining, also has some great comedy moments too. The animation is brilliant i reckon and i like the way they changed the art in the battle. All i can say is this is going to be one kick ass series :P

This show is so terribly cheesy and the fights are so over the top but somehow all of that adds to the shows charm IMO. Honestly it is an enjoyable show.
