| The first episode really didn't quite cut it for me, but this one made up for it. I felt that the setting was rushed and bland in the first episode, but they have gone over some stuff that made it more substantial. The action is good too. |
| The action was not to bad. Ogura has joined Dogoo. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| Wow, nice implementation of the 3-line volley. We really need more of Nobunaga, huh. Still not interested in main lead unfortunately - can see myself dropping. The opening will probably just have me coming back though. |
 |
| Didn't like the OP Still mixed on the animation but I do really like the colour scheme which is heavy on reds and blacks and some other darker colours. Pretty decent action. I was surprisingly drawn in by the drama of the second half of the episode - I actually preferred the second half to the first and I am usually an action kind of guy. Overall another decent episode and I will keep watching. |
 |
| Thoughts: 5:36 I can't tell if Sio is male or female here :o 7:43 was I suppose to be impressed when she said "Nobunagan Three-Line Volley!"? That was not at all clever and just fell flat. 12:04 ok, Sio laying on her bed blushing was very hawt 14:48 sio x asao… yuri foreshadowing?? :DDD 20:23 all the crap asao said here, I actually bought some of it ------------- Overall: 1. Hated the screaming in the OP song but loved the post-hardcore parts. I could accept the screamo OP song in Death Note because the series was intense. 2. ED song was too cheesy. 3. Listening to that 'old grandma' and 'robot bunny' talk put me to sleep 4. Didn't buy all that fighting at all. Seen better 5. Story seems very boring and cliché: Sio must stop the baddies from taking over the world. I'm definitely dropping this series after episode 3. 6. You don't need weird creatures or super OP weapons to tell a good story. I find the 2014 anime "Engaged to the Unidentified" to be much more interesting than this crap. Ep2: 2/10 |
| Kinda wondering if Asao was thinking of Pacific Rim for the movie. That's what it reminds me of, even though they're not fighting in giant mechs and the manga came out two years before Pacific Rim. I'm probably gonna have a hard time adjusting to this opening... I can't stand scream-o music, and it seems pushing it for this anime. Hitlariousnazi said: Yeah, that got a good laugh out of me too. xDLol that spiderman quote billybob300c said: This. I'm pretty confident she's a female though, but at the same time there's a nagging feeling that maybe she's not.Thoughts: 5:36 I can't tell if Sio is male or female here :o 1. Hated the screaming in the OP song but loved the post-hardcore parts. I could accept the screamo OP song in Death Note because the series was intense. Hitlariousnazi said: Well, according to Wikipedia that's a reference to something he actually did:7:43 was I suppose to be impressed when she said "Nobunagan Three-Line Volley!"? That was not at all clever and just fell flat. "At the decisive Battle of Nagashino, the combined forces of Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu devastated the Takeda clan with the strategic use of arquebuses. Nobunaga compensated for the arquebus' slow reloading time by arranging the arquebusiers in three lines. After each line fired, it would duck and reload as the next line fired. The bullets were able to pierce the Takeda cavalry armor, who were pushed back and killed by incoming fire." |
| I can't believe people are actually complaining about this instead of Nobunaga the Fool O.o I can't be the only one who wasn't bothered by the color scheme (unusual though it may be)? The action was engaging and they actually took quite a realistic turn in terms of Sio's inner conflict while dealing with new found superpower. I was also quite touched when Asao sent that picture to Sio's phone. Unlike most action series, this anime doesn't beat around the bush and explain most of the stuffs from the get go so they can focus on the action and story progression. |
 |
| The colours are too noisy it just looks messy to me. At times I felt like I was watching some shoot-em-up game. The concept is quite silly and not in a good way. Wasn't a fan of the drama because it didn't make much sense. She's saying she couldn't do anything to protect her - yet she still did everything she could and even shielded her with her body from the explosion when she ran out of ammo?! I know that's quite common in anime as well as the whole "having someone important to protect" thing, but it just annoyed me in this anime. The OP is terrible >.< Since it's only 23 minutes per week and I don't like having dropped anime on my list, I'll keep watching until the end though I doubt it's going to get any better than this. |
| I like the action scene when Sio start blasting the pacific rim monsters. |
| Nice fights... and it is kinda expected she will join. Can't wait to see how this anime pan out to be interesting or not. |

| I enjoyed the OP, and some good action at the beginning. The rest was OK and served as good info-dumping. Continues to impress me this season. The preview was rather surprising, because I actually noted how incredibly flat-chested Ogura is, particularly in comparison to her friend ... yet it showed someone unzipping Ogura's top and VERY large boobs jiggling out. Maybe she wears super tight clothes and bras so they're squished against her? |
| Is it Sio that enjoys killing the aliens, or is it Nobunaga that's sleeping inside her? I think I'm more interested in the goat bunny that's pulling the strings than anything else. Sent with Mal Updater |

| Looks like the series is going to be pretty good going to stick with it. The preview for next episode looks questionable though -_- |

| Meh. The visuals were really good, I liked as the first episode how they used the colors patterns. I don't really like the music, for the exception of the OP which is really awesome (musically speaking), the video wasn't that grea though. I can't find myself enjoying the MC yet. Hopefully I will later on. Wind_Sr said: Looks like the series is going to be pretty good going to stick with it.

| Not my kind of op, but I guess it's alright Good episode. |

| It was ententaining. The heavy coloring makes it pretty. :D The action is also a step up from the previous. Newton is hot. The opening not being J-pop is a plus. And finaly, the yuri/friendship aspect here is much better than what i saw in other anime. Not that good but at least not boring. |

| so the alien monsters will keep evolving... next should be training episode |
| Good episode. The action is good |

FalKKonE said: Ok, so if there's Jack the Ripper (yay, what a hero), then maybe there is also a reincarnation of Hitler? With a gas pistol. lol |
 |
| Quickly dropping by to say the opening song is the best thing about the anime as of now,not saying its not good without it,definitely loving it more with it tho. |
 |
| It's okay. Idk maybe gonna watch for a little more |
| Asao believes in her. Such friendship TwT. |
Mahat said: So... Based on the other characters appearances, and the fact that Shio/Oda Nobunaga hails from Japan... The world will be saved by a multi-national agency with members actually coming from all around the planet? Refreshingly unusual. Which begs the question: how could Shio understand the three others? English? I'm... completely missing the point of this show, right? Also, from the opening, we got quite the interesting line-up: Oda Nobunaga: 16th century japanese warlord. Jack the Riper: Late 19th century english serial killer. Never caught, semi-mythical. Isaac Newton: 17th century, english... I guess we would call him a "scientist" nowadays. Mahatma Gandhi: 19th century, indian political leader and philosopher. (Eugène François?) Vidocq: 18-19th century french criminal-turned-criminalist. Galileo (Galilei): 16th century, italian sorta-scientist again. Hunter: No idea. Wikipedia failed me. (Antoni) Gaudi: 19th century spanish architect. Cyx: No idea. Geronimo: 19th century apache leader. And, lastly, boss-grandma called her aid "Saint Germain" in the first episode, so we can probably add "18th century european... traveler-scientist-courtier-mysteriousandverybusyman". Just... What criteria did the giant metal alien thingy use to select his victims? ^^' Also, I'd wager he loved Europe. so far the only reference i found about cyx is that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceyx |
| bruh |
| argh.. completely love this show now! XD the OP! REALLY REALLY LOVE IT! gonna download the full version I dont give a shit anymore! LOL and "san dan" XD really love that technique :' its gonna be awesome finally hohohwoahaowho too excited for this :p |
| I Really Enjoy Watch This Episode 1&2 Awesome I love It And I Really Love The Opening Song IS Awesome I Love This Anime |
| '"Hearts, you say? You Humans are always so quick to speak of such things. As though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. But this eye of mine perceives all. There is nothing that it overlooks. If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. That is the assumption under which I have always fought. What is this "heart"?

| Great OP! Oh man the preview, dem boobs, even the fanservice look like KlK. The voice acting did get better, but I don't like the voice actress, her tone feels wrong to me, her voice is just.. mood killer imo. The first half with the battle was just simply awesome, but personally I would've probably liked it more if the MC is a male.. The OST was also great once again. |

| Great episode, but a bit disappointed in the preview. I like this series and will definitely continue to watch it. 8/10. |
 |
| Surprisingly good. Wasn't expecting much but I will be sticking with this one. |
| "With great power comes great responsibility" This show's fun,a lotta fun. |
| i enjoyed the first ep but this one was even better, wow nobunagun action is one of the best this season, easily i'm growing to like the art a lot more too! ogura is awesome lol fingers crossed that there's this kind of action every week ^^ |
| Pros: Cool action, and I definitely want to buy a Nobunagun figure one day. I like the visual style, too. And it's pretty unusual for a "superhero" organization go all-out public like that. You don't see that often and it could have interesting implications in the future. Oh and was that a Pacific Rim reference there? Priceless. :D Still glorious trash. Cons: OP is angsty as fuck, WataMote was way better. Forced drama, forced shoujo ai. Bleh. Newton has like the most useless fucking power ever. :'D Oh and, "distinguished figures" you say, and then you pick both Gandhi and Jack the Ripper. Rofl. The Japs really like Jack for some reason apparently, but honestly I really think mass murderer of women is a horrible choice for a superhero. Also I'm very disappointed that there's no Tesla for instance. He would've been badass. But yeah obviously they had to make Oda the coolest one. Preview seems wtf rape fanservice. Still trash. Observation: The alien most definitely seems fishy. Inb4 he pulls a QB on us. |
 |
| Awesome episode. Best part was obviously Shio owning ass out there. |
 |
| The OP and ED are rather forgettable but the episode itself was great, love the characters and the art direction. |

| This series continues to be epic on every level. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| YURI |
| First half was noisy. Second half failed to make me want to see another episode. |
  |
| Three-Line Volley was pretty awesome. Ogura was boss during all that. She finally joins Dogoo.. and Dogoo themselves reveal themselves to the public. Liked this episode a bit more. Action was good, getting used to the animation already. |
 |
| Shio=badass ^^ |
 |
| you don't hear a (metal/hard)core opening that often in anime so plus for that one. I disliked the general BGM though. Felt kinda weak and didnt suck me into what was happening. Also some parts had an awkward silence. It's also evident that Shios VA is a newbe. ED is also really terrible. Overall it's still enjoyable, but far from being a great show. And I hope I see some bewbs next episode! |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| 5/5 Never judge ahead of time, Nobunagun is yet another anime series that does it. The only unpleasant thing the design is not beautiful, but custom color and design are attractive and with the OST can achieve a nice mix. Narration reasoned and not far-fetched, I like so far. Plot is not addictive, but they are only two episodes, there is time. |
