 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

| ENOUGH OF NOOBUNAGA. |
| It was inevitable. |
 |
| Great, more shitty Nobunaga adaptions. That's what the world needs. > The story centers around Saburou, a high school boy who time-travels to Japan's Sengoku Era. He must become Nobunaga Oda, the famed warlord who helps unite Japan. And this one looks even more stupid than the usual ones. |

| Nobunaga huh? 100% of anime with that in the title suck. |
 |
| Nobunaga again? But Oguri Shun! *gasps* But why a double role? |
  |
| Damn, this must be a really good manga then. |
| Just realized the manga won Shogakukan award in 2011 Better be good |
| The only Sengoku Era with Nobunaga that I like is Oda Nobuna no Yabou because it follow the history closely from what I know. I'm also learn alot from that. |
| Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| I heard some praise regarding this magazines' portfolio and this title in particular (award winning), but the synopsis is not exactly impressive right now. Gonna give this the three-episode treatment. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Another Nobunaga... =.= But since its an award winning manga, I'll give it a shot. |
| "People die when they are killed" - Emiya Shirou |
| Another one? Maybe i will give it a chance for the cast though.. |
| With those themes and seiyuu, there's no way I wouldn't get interested~ |
| Poor Monkey doesn't get anything. |
| More Nobunaga this year huh? I might give this a try but not a fan of the premise so far. Then again, it could be something interesting if it's done right. |
 |
| Kaji Yuki ( -.-) aside, OH GOD THE CAST liST!!! And it gives me the impression it isn't a bad parody of Oda Nobunaga, so I'll probably watch it. |

 |
| Again with the time traveling, again with Nobunaga. I assume he's not genderbent this time, huh ? Imagine if Hollywood made like half a dozen movies about George Washington every year... |
SurferDude said: Why not Abe Lincoln lolAgain with the time traveling, again with Nobunaga. I assume he's not genderbent this time, huh ? Imagine if Hollywood made like half a dozen movies about George Washington every year... Guess I'll check it out. My expectations are set low so they shouldn't be too disappointed why so much nobunaga |
 |
| Come on. Nobunaga can't be the only shogun in Japan's history, can he? |
 |
| im sure it wont be anywhere near as bad as nobunaga the fool at least |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Is it some kind of Nobunaga anniversary this year? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Featuring Nobunaga... again! Skipping this. |
| There are so many others Shoguns worth a show, this is discrimination. Yukimura Sanada, Mitsuhide Akechi, Kenshin Uesugi.. |
| I'm more interested in Live action version simply because there have been too many Nobunaga-themed anime as of late. Also, LA version could give more grounded and realistic take on the series, something that i've come to fond of ever since Rurouni Kenshin LA adaptation. |
| Fuck Nobunaga and fuck the highschool boy that will magically time travel to become an overpowered cliche beta. |
| So, What do you think is on the other side? |
| The freakin casts!! <3 |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Like everyone else, I was skeptical to see another Nobunaga anime in the making. Well I haven't watched any Nobunaga themed anime aside from Nobunaga the Fool so not sure what to think about it. Especially time traveling? But I will try it since it has so many seiyuu that I like in the cast. Also, Cedronia said: Just realized the manga won Shogakukan award in 2011 Better be good Sounds like it should be pretty good. |
| Yet another Nobunaga anime? Wasn't two in one anime season enough? Isn't there another Japanese warlord they can use? Ah well, at least they aren't turning him into a girl anymore. |
| Another page to the history of the Fujaku. |
| Guys calm your tits... This manga is accurate historically. Read real synopsis from here (for example) and look at the art. It's manga made for teens to learn history in a more entertaining form but not straying with mechs or girls as Nobunaga. Author gives us 'present guy' so it's easier for readers to identify with MC. Also even if Nobunaga is main character there are other historical figures that will be pictured here, look at the long cast. I'll watch it to learn something about the "favourite Japanese historic person" (from what we can assume from all this adaptations). |
| Eh, Nobunaba again huh.Well, i will give it a shot since voice cast is pretty damn good, but besides that im not expecting anything amazing. |
 |
| Clearly some people in this thread don't realize Oda Nobunaga's historical significance in Japan nor how amazing the historical figure actually was. For them I recomend reading Japonius Tyrannus: Oda Nobunaga Reconsidered - you'll have to look for it in libraries since I believe it's quite expensive nowadays, I read it in a specialized library exclusive for post-grad students (I think that's how you say it in English) but it shouldn't be impossible to find in normal ones with a good selection on Japanese history - it's a fascinating and well-written book. For a bit more info on his military genius check some of Turnbull's books (these you can find online), they have a couple historically inaccurate points but when it comes to military details it's pretty good. About this particular story, I'll check it out when it comes. I have lost hope for a gritty, more down to earth and a bit more accurate anime adaptation of his life (which would be amazing) a long time ago. |

| Oh nice, another stupid Nobunaga anime |
| It feels like I'm the only one that doesn't know what is Nobunaga? Guess I'll put it on my ptw list. |
| Nobunaga again huh? they should find some other historical figure to talk about once in a while. |
 |
| Nobunaga Oda: Yuki Kaji Saburou: Mamoru Miyano Hanbei Takenaka: Takahiro Sakurai Toukichirou Kinoshita: Yuuichi Nakamura LOL THEY'RE BACKKKKK Great cast. I like historical, so I'm in. Looks really fab just from the manga cover. After Uta Koi, I learned not to judge these things by how old they are. Summer show yay cool. Watching for sure. Also, CONCERTO IN THE TITLE. LOVE MUSICAL TERMS <3 Thornister said: Guys calm your tits... This manga is accurate historically. Read real synopsis from here (for example) and look at the art.

Takei_Hisa said: Nobunaga again huh? they should find some other historical figure to talk about once in a while. Well maybe it is because he is a very popular person known from a long time ago and that he is mostly recognisable to the Japanese people despite it has already been said that there are other historical figures due at about the same time as him. |

You think they have time to read up that kind of history? |
| |
| Wow another Nobunaga-themed anime ? I'll give a try for this one. |
 |
| This went from another run of the mill Nobunaga series to (one with): - an award - live action (if it sucks, why would it get so many adaptations?) - historical accuracy (?) and educational - non-shounen appearance despite being a shounen (art and synopsis) - relatively obscurity ^ I'm almost excited for this now. Historically real series are excellent when done well. Even the cast is most of all the popular seiyuu. Seems like just Kamiya Hiroshi missing? |

| How many of these themed series are there already? Boy travels time to Sengoku Era... Sengoku Era harem... Sengoku Era Mecha... Sengoku Bishounen battles, BAH. What's worse, it's a High School Boy AGAIN. MEH. But it seems like a serious manga, so I will keep my eye on it. As long it depicts the era is a tasteful way, I don't mind. Are there no other interesting people in Japanese history or something? Haine15 said: I dunno it feels Deja Vu while reading the summery of the manga xD I remember an anime with similar thing happening PRobably the one, Oda Nobuna no Yabou, which was actually kind of good despite all it's cringeworthy cliches. In that series though, he has to become Hideyoshi(basically) and is kind of a love interest to Nobuna. |
