I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I've seen shitload of otome game adaptations like this here on MAL, all of them complete catastrophe... hope this one will be serious. |
 |
| Finally some hot stuff, Nobunaga the GOAT in his youth. |
 |
| Im confused, that character design looks very feminine |
| The series is a historical drama aesthetically and boldly adapting the life of Oda Nobunaga So while it will look historical, it wont be and it's gonna take a lot of liberties. This line and the picture make me think Nobonuga is gonna be a woman, maybe pretending to be a man. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| Tbh The character does not look like a women at all |

| I have one of the most confusing boners ever. On a serious note, looks interesting to me. Let's see what this would turn out. |
Crashmatt said: Im confused, that character design looks very feminine He looks like a touken ranbu character to me. Historical bishounen tend to look pretty feminine lately. The whole "bold new take" and "gorgeous butterfly" do make it seem like they might be going for a gender flip though. (Not that I would personally consider that to be bold) |
| I mean, the staff on this is pretty solid and Deen can be good when they try. Gonna wait for a PV to make up my mind about that one. |
 |
Shadow-Chan said: I even doubt you watch the said adaptations. "here on MAL", as of there is a lot of shows like this already, so thats why im expecting just another otome level of quality. Which is shame, i like sengoku period. |
|
| Woooah, that's the prettiest looking Nobunaga i have seen so far! Definitely going in my PTW, just hope that it's not an shounen-ai/yaoi. Also, i'm pretty sure Nobunaga is still a guy, when they genderbend historical figures into females, they have a specific target audience in mind and don't look like this, rather they would look much more moe and "cute-ish" to appeal to the common male otaku. He's just a long haired Bishounen, like these: |
