Nobunaga-sensei no Osanazuma

Story:
The story seems very cliché, as we have seen in many animes girls from another planet/dimension/age fall from heaven to make the life of a virgin protagonist a little brighter. Then it naturally develops to a harem as another girls start to appear. This show's exactly it, exploring major fetishes, such as lolicon, milf and trap. The geniality of this show is to use it as a symbol of corruption of the traditional man. As nobunaga-sensei is actually the reincarnation of the old Daimyo Nobunaga, he represents the traditional man. But in this modern world where masculinity is repressed all his qualities are underutilized and ... he becomes a 30 year old virgin. The appearance of girls from another age represents his earnests desires of finding a traditional, but unreal, woman. But every girl that happens to be in his harem has a situation that makes it impossible for him to have his way with them, such as age, or being his student. The only possible legal match, that is his colleague teacher, seems to hate him. His situation develops in a way that leads to him only having sexual contact with another man, that is a trap. His development with the trap surpasses all the development that he has with another girls. This tries to play with the myth of homosexuality being a high social relation common to great man in the past, such as Alexander the great. The goal to this is to make rejected man, that are each time more excluded from love as the male competition grows by the lack of wars and male deaths, starts to engage in gay relationships.
art: the art is ok, mainly in terms of titties.
sound: very generic. fine
characters: the main loli is cute.
enjoyment: guilty pleasure kind of enjoyment
overall I would only recommend it to people that want to fry their brains.

Just by writing this, it's not a review, but a statement that I want to make: I can't believe it's not hentai. Seriously, the plot was sort of all over the place and I didn't get the chance to understand the motivation of each character literally in seven minutes and forty slow seconds. I think it's not even enough considering how much I wasted my time watching this in which I thought it was hentai. At least it had some quality meme picturing there, out of context, but even in context: the story is not concise. Art is aight; like I said, I though it ... was hentai because the quality of it felt like it. The pieces are kinda okay, but the characters I just can't pass them as one. It's just a waist of your time if you're here for the plot: it's just shenanigans. That's all.

[The Touch of Life]

Japan has always been the pioneers of creating ridiculous and strange stories for Anime. Take for example Akikan!, where steel and aluminum cans become magical girls and battle each other, or Hametsu no Mars, where convoluted stuff happens for no apparent reason, or Shimoneta, where the Japan government has banned anything lewd, but a group of “perverted terrorist” decide to go against the status quo.

But now, Japan has a released a show about how life magically appears from a tea cup, a plate, and even from one's breast. First, all of these “magical people” came from the Sengoku Era, where they all ... conveniently appear in front of the main character. Second, they all want to either be the wife or mistress of our main character. And lastly, our main female character is a 14-year-old girl, who demands to be impregnated by our main character. And did I mention that another 14-year-old girl also wants to do the dirty deed.

What a shit show! At least, it's a short shit show.

STORY:

Summary: our main character, Nobunaga, is a middle school teacher, who wants a girl to love him and for her to appear in the most gal game-like situation possible. And while, cleaning the storehouse, the most gal-game-like situation happens – a 14-year-old girl named Kichou appears from thin air in front of our main character, declares to be the wife of Nobunaga, and wants his child. Thus, begins the story of Nobunaga gaining as many wives and mistresses as possible, while dodging child protection laws.

For a show with a strange premise, it has an interesting concept: Nobunaga having the ability to touch certain objects or people, and somehow resurrecting former Sengoku Era “spirits or souls” to appear in them. It's bizarre, but nothing to outlandish. Unfortunately, the first concept fails to answer the questions: how did he get these powers and why did these powers appear now?

These questions are never explored any deeper beyond our main character putting on black gloves to prevent anything he touches from resurrecting. However, even when our main character does this, he still manages to resurrect somethings.

Other than that, the show is basically a harem show, i.e., legal loli, big-breasted girl, glasses girl, trap, etc, that involves many ecchi situations, i.e., breast grabbing, breast sucking, suggestive poses, etc, and many misunderstandings. Basically, it's similar to many other harem shows, except this one is only 7 minutes long, which I'm assuming cut out many important events from the manga, making the show even more bare-bone than it needs to be.

SOUND/ART/CHRACTERS:

The voice acting is decent if one is able to hear what they saying as the background music is occasionally louder than the character's voices. This is very annoying and distracting. Both the opening and ending songs, lasting roughly 30 seconds each, are your typical J-pop, nothing interesting or worth noting about.

The character are cute and are very well designed, however this is Studio Seven, which is known for creating stunning and amazing character and background designs. In other words, while this series is more polished and refined than compared to Joshi Kausei, Studio Seven's other series released this year, it doesn't measure up to the details of its hentai titles. Although, watching the character's faces pop up to censor any suggestive body parts is pretty amusing.

The characters, while having some personality, are still the same old tropes and cliches that are seem in similar shows, such as the big-breasted girl, the glasses girl, the trap, the legal loli, etc. And in typical fashion, each character's soul or spirit has a regret that is sexual or suggestive in nature. For example, big-breasted girl's regret is not having her breast sucked enough, so the main character decides to suck her breasts. Another example is the glasses girl, who creates yaoi content and wishes to see the main character get boned by another male character. Now, as for our main male character, his personality is non-existent, and his only purpose is make retorts and gather as many wives and mistresses as possible.

ENJOYMENT:

It's another harem show. Either you like the genre or you don't, unfortunately this one is not that good.
