Not a big fan of series involving historical themes here but I found the first episode to be entertaining.

^I agree. And I have much more to be said, however...I wrote a fairly long comment here just now, only for it to be erased by MAL's or my own internet's failure. I normally save my comments as I write them, but no one is perfect. So I'll be lazy and sum it up like this: Great first episode. Better impact than most other anime over the past year or so. Does that mean it'll be amazing? Not necessarily. But I will most definitely be looking forward to more episodes of this series.

I guenuinely liked it though it was messy and not that easy to follow.
The unique crazy settling, the character design, the background and music really pleases me. The CGI not so much.
It reminds me on Aquarion Evol. On one hand I really liked Kagura and Nobu really reminded me of him, this time it looks like he could have a chance to get his kuso onna on the other hand I didn't like at all the direction this story took at all.
So I'm conflicted

OMG.
After the first episode this anime should be called ''Nobunaga the Shit''.
Yeah, lets make another anime which has bunch of dull characters named after some important dudes from history (which was done milon times), lets give them some unique mechas and superpowers, and lets create a jumbled up setting by using the most ussed themes in most anime. This episode was so flavourless, that it freaking insulted me.
Get better and unique, or you're dropped.
Art should be left alone by those unenlightened, raw and uncensored as it is, because enough refinement was already done by it's creator, in it's creation.

jeanne d'arc, leonardo da vinci and oda nobunaga in the same anime in a feudal era setting with mechs..

anyway. interesting setting, character design is good but the shine all clothing has is a bit weird. music was good action was decent


i guess the big thing is going to be historical figures from different timelines all mixed together

def. gonna continue to watch it.

Was an okay episode. Dem good VAs are usually a good sign, Sugita ftw :D One thing that bugs me is the CG, was never a big fan of it in anime but at least it's not too awkward in this series so far.

The story felt pretty loose but the animation was pretty good... I even thought the CGI was pretty good. Got pretty decent at the end. Was OK. I'll have to watch a few more episodes to really judge...

CAN YOU FEEL THE JAPAN ÜBER ALLES VIBE? can you feel it too?

That's why 80% of japanese manga/anime that mix japanese and western historical figures are crap. Just look at the maps of both stars at the intro.

Western Star = At least is the whole Europe

Eastern Star = NIPPON, Land of the rising sun. Fuck China and India, the 2 biggest civs in the far east.

Also, that cast.

Day one drop. Japan, do you even history?

I'm a little confused. So what was shown way in the beginning of the episode where Joan of Arc and Nobunaga die (historical realities) is a parallel universe? Or is it a foreshadowing of the ending of this series?

Either way, seems like a promising series, although it might be trying too hard on the eccentric angle.

And the raping of both Eastern and Western history continues. I wonder if this or Buddy Complex will be able to top Valvrave in terms of bad plot and meh characters.

Yamato damashi is a good way to bait people who need to identify with their country to brag because they themselves are not talented enough. And we all know otaku are not exactly the pinnacle of society.

The Kazuki Yone-esque artwork makes it look more shojo than shonen at this point.

It's not too interesting, to be honest, but as it's only the first episode I'm sure it'll get better. It has potential at the least.

So it's like the 1400's but not really it's also kinda the future and armies are fighting with swords and stuff still but they also have giant mech robot things and Leonardo Da Vinci is playing this giant tuba thing to a very well endowed Joan of Ark. She's possessed by a demon or something, but wait now they're in space with Magellan on some space ship thingy but still all dressed like it's the 1400's...Da Vinci and Magellan are both like "For King Arthur!" but then Joan of Ark hears a demon voice and Da Vinci is all like "fuck this let's steal a ship I gots a tazer."
Then the crash land so the main character can steal a giant lazer mecha thingy and the series begins.
Thanks anime.

If this anime had 24 episodes I think it could be decent but by the looks of it it's only 13 episodes so it'll probably be incredibly rushed.

This episode was very messy, i felt like i was being hit each time an out of era charachter appeared (Leonardo da vin ci XD)
Not a big fan of nobunaga, Jeanne of arc (why add the kaguya part since she's from the west star ?) Doesn't look very interesting.
And that escape from the amiral dude ship plus being attacked afterward was a bit ridiculous.
Too many things to process and as somebody said previously this will be either be great or absolutely horrible. I'll keep watching to witness it ~,~

very interesting parallel universe! the design of the things and clothes is great in my eyes and there are nice charas. story seems predictable, but what chara will play what part could be interesting to watch. mecha style is average and i hope they will focus more on the chara network like "Code Geass" did it. would be great if it turn into something similar to "Code Geass", but thats pretty hard. lets wait some episodes. ^^

Unique setting, some nice character designs (though im not the biggest fan of the general look of the character art style as i find it a bit too generic) , storyl needs to settle a bit as I found some things rushed in this 1st episode but overall i liked it and im looking forward to the rest of this series.

Okay,why does it start with the burning of Jeanne and the defeat of an older Nobunaga with the betrayal of his best friend.

If there is a world after this,thats where we gain dominion,now thats a mini feel trip heralding the fail of nobus quest.

That was so absurd in every way, aka it was entertaining as hell

if this show ends up being actually good, then the show is good
If the show ends up being actually bad, then it will be extremely entertaining from how bad it is

either way this show will be entertaining

4/5

For me the most interesting first episode of all the new anime I've seen.
I really liked the characters, though I didn't pay any attention to historical details.

Apart from the cgi mechas I though everything looked good and I really like the voice actors(apart from that little girl at the end).
The amount of stuff going in will probably be it's downfall for me and the mecha stuff in the upcoming episodes will probably turn me of as well.

Also, there are mechas fighting with giant guns but the foot soldiers fight with bow and arrow and swords,then there is space travel technology but civilization looks unevolved, what is up with that?

Will see how next episode turns out.
