It's up to Sagara (main character) to take his place and assist Nobunaga or rather Nobuna and take Hideyoshi's place.
I love history and this show seems like a good way to learn about the unification of Japan. It gives off sort of a Axis Powers Hetalia feel to it where the show teaches a bit of history to the viewer.
I find it amusing how the producers turn famous deadly warriors into girls. When i saw Goemon's character in this show, i couldn't take this show seriously anymore. Then again i can't say that i don't like the idea of them turning them all into girls. I mean seriously? Who doesn't like watching anime girls with swords and spears, etc beating the crap out of faceless unimportant characters.
I laughed a couple of times during this show. For instance, the girls don't even address him by his name. Instead, they call him Saru (Monkey). For the oddest of reasons i felt that this show had the same sort of comedy feel as Highschool Dxd for all of you who have seen it. Not the ecchi comedy part.
As for it being a harem show, its not one of those dirty ecchi shows. i'd have to say it's probably a 2 or 3 on a scale of 10 on ecchiness. There are a lot of loli's though...i already counted like 4. The main character's a typical harem character. He's sort of a loser but in his own strange way he's very powerful. Like in almost any anime, you will find anime stereotypes in this show.
Personally i hope this show goes where i think it's going. All the girls in the show seem to disrespect him and think he's disgusting but i can see him turning that all around. Sort of like in Love Hina. Last, hopefully this show becomes like one of those shonen mangas and takes the main character and turns him into a really cool, bad ass character. Until then, i will be following this show until the end.
