Thoughts:
1:25 Interesting & refreshing transition.

7:58 omg yuri...yes!!! Wasn't expecting anything like that after seeing the opening

19:50 reincarnation… intriguing

----------------
Overall:
1. First 3 minutes took me by surprise.

2. Yuri ftw

3. liked how the reincarnation idea fits here

4. Voice acting is always dam good in anime

5. Definitely didn't like the ending song at all. But my #1 anime is Death Note and it had a heavy metal opening song. But I accepted the heavy metal because it fits well with Death Note. Maybe if they just showed the full opening instead of the credits at the end, then I could've liked it… eh.

6. I tend to not buy all the fighting scenes because there's only so far you can go with it & can get predictable, & u already know who's going to win. Hopefully intense dialogue will come

7. Idk, I'm somewhat interested in this series and yet I'm not because of the 'old age' stuff & predictable fights. Hoping that it turns out to be a "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" so to speak. Probably gonna drop after the 3rd episode but I'll try it out. 5/10

Am I the only one that noticed, they took some ideas from the Metal Gear Rising: Revenagance lol?

1) The way Jack the Ripper shows up, is similar to how Raiden shows up ion the island after he got upgraded.

http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z375/shadowtsunami/JackTheRipperRaiden_zpsabf11598.png

2) The first boss battle is pretty much the same (Although, MGR:R music is way better imo :P)

http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z375/shadowtsunami/JackTheRipperRaidenBoss_zpsc1e5ed11.png

3) Cutting off one of the enemy's limb to disable it temporary.

http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z375/shadowtsunami/JackTheRipperRaidenBossCut_zpsec117678.png

4) Cutting off the enemy in half to finish it completely.

http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z375/shadowtsunami/JackTheRipperRaidenBossFinish_zpsb7e609c6.png

Not to mention Raiden's nickname is JackTheRipper.


It would actually be the other way around since the manga came out in 2011 :)

^^ This is similar to some of the KlK comparisons people are doing but surely Nobunagun was ongoing before KlK was in development? At any rate, there have been so many of these shows and games by name that you know what? There are going to be similarities in story, plot, character designs, weapons, tactics. It happens so just enjoy it when the execution is done well.

That was a really fun first episode but I'm not sure what I think about it at the moment. I didn't really like the art style but once the action started I couldn't stop smiling. Also the enemy seems really weird and cool which I like.

This looks like one of those anime that half the people will easily drop due to animation but will likely turn out to be decent and odd. I like odd. I like different.

Holy shit so pumped for the next episode. It was pretty meh in the beginning, but once shit hit the fan, the change in pacing and animation holy wow. Maybe it's cause I've watched too much casual slice of life shit laSt season, but let's hope this is one of those dark horses of a season :DD

Aaaand that ending. woow

I don't see what everybody dislikes about the animation. The first half was kinda noodly and felt weird, yeah, but that was mostly because the main girl kinda slunk around awkwardly, so it fit. The second half, when shit got real, was appropriately batshit and bombastic. No problems, seriously, it was nice and fit the mood.

Also, the music and VAs seem especially good, although this might just be a fluke. In any event, this is better than Nobunaga the Fool, imo.

Whoaaa... unexpectedly.... AWESOME!!!

How in the world this one has less discussions and fan fare compared to that other Nobunaga mecha pile of shit??

Interesting concept, Kill la Kill-esque animation, Kaijuu-like enemies, plus a huge gun!! As far as action anime goes you can't ask for more..

Any episode that ends with a mad teen firing her right arm-auto cannon while a 5 century-dead general laughs from inside her eyes can't be considered all bad... So far this is the most interesting start to the new season for me.


Pretty much this, that end factor is why I'll keep watching.

Though you are a bit off on the Century.

Well I was positively surprised :D I really hope they go full on insane with the MC. Would be refreshing to see a female protagonist who is all out stone cold awesome. Sort of liked they portrayed Nobunaga. Although I doubt that's going to happen xD

Lol.. i'm feeling the same vibes when I'm watching Kill la Kill :D

also, her physical appearance is somewhat like a combination of Yui and Ritsu from K-On.. I just don't know why :D

Also, can someone please tell me who's this Oda Nobunaga? I always hear his name in some other series O___O

Although some may say the art was wacky it actually fit this show really well: a wacky action show. This show though definitely had a bigger impact on me than Nobunaga the Fool(which shifted POV's frequently). Also it seems people earlier mentioned the resemblance or even knock off of Raiden from Metal Gear Revengeance? Raiden was even nicknamed "Jack the Ripper" if I recall correctly.

The only thing I could complain about is the art. Other than that, good first episode. This is definitely better than most shows this season.

The animation seems pretty meh. The music is pretty meh. But, I do like the MC. Looks like it could be fun…or it could end up like Symphogear…which was still pretty fun as well.

That was awesome! I really like the visuals and I think the OST is pretty good. Not memorable (yet) but good nonetheless. I like the protagonist too, she's got some an interesting hobby. Also, her grin near the end was very cool.

The ED song is a blast!

What I didn't like:
- Art pretty silly and easy
- Boring animations
- Concept not really original, we seen the same shit a lot of times already
- I didn't like the music, I don't know who the composer is but he wanted to copy Taku Iwasaki and he utterly failed

What I liked:
- Opening or ending, whatever
- VAs
- Her transformation-design
- The use of the color in some determinated scenes

Whats wrong with the protagonist? ._.

Really, just stands there admiring the military equipment. Depictions of Nobunaga really saved the day there, for the audience and the plot.

It feels like Symphogear... so bad that it becomes really enjoyable.

Art is strange, not bad but those patters were weird.
On the other side as much as I like MC she must be new... not bad start I can say. That black haired girl was weaker.

Ogura's flustered face was odd. xD; Yes, that's what bothered most. Jack was pretty entertaining and I generally get at least some kind of kick out of these stories with screwy historical figures.

Hmm... I liked the colors, but I don't really care for the character designs. I did enjoy the action. I think I'll keep watching.

Another anime based on Nobunaga, and now I have 3 different series with the same protagonist, nobunaga and his reincarnations...

But, I think I liked it more than nobunaga the fool. This is quite awesome.

this is the second anime this season that starts with a dream about mitsuhide betraying nobunaga. Coincidence? *puts on tinfoil hat*

I liked it. Not best of season prolly, but good enough to watch.

Also, I liked her cray cray look when she got that gun.
