An awesome episode cometh after two shit episodes. About time the show stopped pretending that there is a reason to watch it other than how funny it is.

This episode was great, the big battle was pretty epic. It also had that feeling of a strategic war (even if the generals and such just own everyone and make the troops look pathetic :P). The mecha seemed a bit silly though, i didn't like it so much. Also Ichi's va is the wrong pick for a charactter like her. I like her va (Noto Mamiko) but that character is just not right for her voice. It really bothered me. Animation is still great and adds a lot to the enjoyment of the series by making the battles seem so much more intense and crazy. This series is just pure fun while also providing an engaging story and characters.

Awesome Epi!! The battle was intense, and did any one else notice when the first battle started, and the troops charged into each other, as soon as they collided, a big pink mist cloud strarted forming over the battllefiled?!? Awesome!! The Mech was a lil ridiculous, but still fun, I still can't figure the silver hair guy(Oda's next in charge), is he good or evil, or playing both sides or what...Urahara Out!!

I know they are trying to go for a over the top action show with cool fights and memorable characters, but I feel they didn't quite pull it off like gurren laggan did. When that guy got shot there was this super slow-mo death scene but I did not have enough emotion invested in him to be affected by his passing. His wife is just a weak fool too. I would have liked to see them both die there too make more of a point of "this is what you get for following oda nobunaga". Date Masamune is still cool, as is Yokimura and the Tiger of Kai, but I wanna see Kenshin do some fighting. He must be a bad ass cuz how else can you take him seriously when he's wearing that weird get-up (bat ears/bunny hat)?

Good episode overall but I really didn't like Tadakatsu beng a mecha. Just too weird in a feudal setting, not that they're trying to stay true to history all that much but still :) I was also disappointed Oda's sister didn't die. Dear God what an obnoxious character who can only say the same thing ten times in a row. Her husband getting shot didn't really bother me, he had very little perosnality.

Gundam launch sequence was hilarious but unexpected. I'm sad that Azai was killed, but honestly, what did he expect from a guy that threatens to kill his own sister?

Date Masamune is still the man, Tiger of Kai is still owning, and Yukimura is still a beast

Kenshin needs to ditch that get up though, its distracting me from any potential awesomeness he might possess.

Oh my, oh my that cliffhanger in the end left me speechless. That Oda sure is the devil king for doing that. I was wondering why Azai only got shot and not Masamune and his troops.

That mecha is feudal japan was fail. Plus, it was really a guy inside a mecha armor. Also, Keiji sure was cunning for trying to negotiating to the devil king while the other warlords built the Oda resistance. He betrayed everyone, damn.

Now I'm wondering what's going to happen. Oda's army sure is strong. They have guns while the others only have swords, lmfao.

Who?

I swear, the mecha launch is one of the best parody moments I've seen. It's totally unexpected, totally ridiculous, and totally unfit (and it was intentional since Honda was one of the strongest, and if others could fly around with auras, why not a giant mecha?) for the show.

Ok so I'm thrilled that Azai guy died! He was such a waste, I hate it when a man becomes a fool, just because of a woman. I wish the wife died too! A stray bullet should have hit her.

Seeing a Mecha in the Segoku Era is one thing, but it can fly and has Gurren like DRILL too? LOL

But the action was great, i especially like the Mecha battle best XD
Couldn't Azai get down on the ground when they started firing =-= and geez Ichi is worse than Hinata -_______________-"

It's was kinda hard to get an accurate height measurement on 'Gundam-Honda', but i'm guessing 5-10 metres. Getting people that tall is amazing, and then producing the armaments for them. Especially the flight-capable engines is ,you know, almost impossible with that technology.

Honda Tadakatsu, Gundam squadron, flies! :D
Anyway, that's probably my most favorite episode to now, it was just friggin great&epic! It was great to hear Date acknowledging Azai Nagamasa as opponent. He was epic anyway. Dramatic ending, nonetheless. Mitsuhide is so evil... Oda is nothing compared to him!
