Seems interesting. I dig historical anime so I'll probably be able to enjoy it. Already have a general idea of what the heck happened during this period thanks to other shows xD

This anime is definitely not my thing, but I think I will give it 2-3 more episodes before deciding. Sasuke is a fun guy.

Love this show -- although I was prepared for it with the manga.

Sometimes the concept of subjectivity evades me entirely whilst reading some of these comments.

"Slow paced" and "boring", amongst others.

Couldn't be further from what i just watched. Thought the episode flowed quite nicely. From the get, the relation between Odu Nobunaga and Sasuke is pretty hilarious. The dialogue in this episode was top notch and the over the top silliness regarding the pursuit of the teacup was done in a overtly brilliant way. The silliness wasn't lost but it didn't detract from the tone of the episode.

The inner thoughts of Sasuke at the beginning of the episode were absolutely hilarious as well as the ending between the aforementioned. All in all, this episode as someone else previously stated in this thread was simply glorious.

I really hope the writing holds up. Excited for the next episode.

Recommend me some short Manga!

This show reminds me of the old Civilisation doc from BBC.

All these people in here saying it was a boring episode.. guess it's just not their cup of tea.....

Anyway, I thought this was a great start. Actually funny without being cliched in any way, and laid the grounds for one of the most unique premises I've ever seen. Based on what I've heard from the people who have completed the show, they've all described it as your proverbial diamond in the coal mine. My only real qualms with the episode had to do with the soundtrack, but other than that I think this is going to be quite an interesting ride.

So far I'm digging the opening episode of this series.

I'm loving Sasuke, such an aesthete to the core, and also amusing. I hope he is the protagonist.

That teakettle saga was really hilarious, Matsunaga was willing to die for his "soul", damn that was pretty hectic.

Last scene was intense.

Bro if you wanna talk aesthetics, to paraphrase Samurai Champloo, "What the hell were they thinking with those dumbass hairstyles?"

Also sandals on socks. Idk why they don't just make shoes and insist on wearing inconvenient sandals.

On the other hand the armor aesthetic is pretty nice (minus the footwear). The foot soldier armor gives them a big belly so that's ugly. The armor of the generals is much better.

I could care less about tea kettles. It looks like my Lodge cast iron pan.

The anime surprisingly feels good to me. I don't know if it's the atmosphere or the over the top comedy aesthete sasuke, historically enough it looks interesting to me. Though I don't think it's important to know the history to enjoy it.

Incredible start. Sasuke reminds me a bit of Justy Ueki Tylor with how he can be a rather silly character in an otherwise serious setting.

@Euroqean what are you referring to specifically? the subtitles i'm seeing look pretty normal to me. since you asked this question literally a year ago, hopefully you've already had the issue resolved

so the mc is a bit of a nerd. which, is totally understandable and acceptable. we all have things we nerd out about. for my tastes, however, he is a little over the top. just a little. nothing too crazy. but enough for me to be like "yo dawg, chill" two or three times this episode. for example, when he rolled around on the floor after trying to piece the teakettle lid back together and it was still cracked and missing some pieces. or when he was critiquing the generals clothing choices earlier in the episode.

truthfully though, this has potential. so we'll see how these next few go.

A samurai story with a mixture of the history of Japan's samurai and a funny combination of comedy. I liked the first episode
