First thing's first, this is based on the otome game Ikemen Segoku: Romances Across Time. Although it is rare for this to happen, otome games can be adapted into anime. It is best to look on both sides, so I will refer to the game a few times, to make comparisons, as I do play it.
Art- The first point I want to touch is the art. I personally do not find the chibi styles to fit these warlords, however, it could work for these short 3 minute clips. To add, at the last five or so seconds, there is a short animation of a character
...
as they are in the game, however they are in their 'anime' forms. The dialogue in those sections seem to be mainly targeted to players of the game (female). I especially like the art in these scenes, because they resemble those of the game. Also, the art behind the character during the opening "song" is quite decent as well. The backgrounds in these episodes are also very well done.
Story- As it seems so far, it is a combination of a slice of life and the events going along between the Oda forces and the Kenshin-Uesugi. There is very little plot as of the episodes so far.
Sound- The opening was decent, in terms of my opinion for music. It was energetic yet kinda lighthearted. The voice acting is pretty good. I especially like that the voice actors for the anime are the same for the game. Because I'm not the best at sound, I will leave it here.
Character- The characters all seem fine. This anime adds some goofy sides to them that you don't see in the game. I don't really think they match the personality as well as it does in the game, but I think it's quite funny sometimes.
Enjoyment- This anime got me laughing. It was truly refreshing to see a different side of the normally serious cast. The last few seconds of the show was like a little gift for the players obsessed with the characters (me).
Overall, it's a decent show. It's not the best, but it offers some funny moments and sides to the guys that you usually don't see. As an adaptation of an otome game, it's not half bad.Although not as good as the game, I hope for the future episodes to continue giving us these goofy versions of the warlords.
