THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I still can't keep all the characters straight even though this is just another one like Sengoku Collection and the like. Anyway, we get a kid who is transported to another world where Oda Nobuna (not Nobunaga) is attempting to take over Japan. He uses his knowledge of the future to prove his worth to her and is given the job of Monkey.

It doesn't look like anything special but the show should be a fun watch.

Hmm...I guess this could be good although it's rushed in quite a bit with the beginning scenes. I did enjoy the OP song quite a bit though, as it is somewhat catchy.

It is also no surprise that Kanae Itō plays the role of the main heroine as you can recognize her voice near instantly for those who've watched Haganai. Overall though, I thought this episode was "meh". Just going to watch it for entertainment if anything else.

Didn't I watch something like this a couple months back. There seems to be a trend with time travel around Nobunaga era and its getting repetitive.
I will still watch it because I liked watching its similar predecessor so this is no different.

Soo its basically the Sengoku period made into a sexy Romcom harem....with a random Football/Soccer Goal!? o.o lool

¬ I think the characters are great a cute ninja :3 and a tsundere Oda Nobunaga xP, it also has nice art. Although there is somewhat a lack of proper introduction to he got there in the first place (guess it will be explained later on)

¬ We'll continue to keep watching as im curious to know how Sagara's presence will effect the outcome of history by him being there and also bcos I enjoyed the "Future like" humor

Lots of lovely lolis

I'm fancying Nene and Hanbei

Very average overall, but it will be a fun watch.

Same. You'd figure after watching a decent handful of these Sengoku genderbending shows I could remember some names at least, but nope.

This series is in the style of those 2:
http://myanimelist.net/anime/4262/Koihime%E2%80%A0Musou
http://myanimelist.net/anime/10308/Sengoku_Otome:_Momoiro_Paradox
Where both the beauties of the girls and FAD of guy comes from the future are implemented. That being said, the series is very promising in art and array of lolis whom I already claim a few for myself. Due to their designs. Among the many of them from the spoiler
whom are:
http://myanimelist.net/character/59957/Nene
http://myanimelist.net/character/59897/Inuchiyo_Maeda
http://myanimelist.net/character/59963/Hanbei_Takenaka
I have to say that I love the most the following one,

I see her design very nice and moreover in the spoiler
it is shown she can have a nasty serious side apart from her MOE parts in the spoiler
so in all this this cast of young lolis are rather a nice addition. I know this will be a nice series and I doubt with 2 others it will be any fan service but light fluffy. Teaser at most. Hanbei is my 2nd pick.

I find Oda in the following,

The most beautiful. I also admit her attire shots in the spoiler
reveals she is rather not the afraid one of her attire as in it’s too embarrassing. She does not mind using what looks like a bra to cover her breasts. That’s fine. In her armor she looks better but like that too in a sexy way. I will leave it at that.

About ED, in the spoiler
it says very sexy ED with all the girls like that. Perfect nice tease. Not too much and not too little with the towels.

Not a NEW storyline for sure, but the character designs are pretty good so I'll stick with it for a bit.

The only thing that gets to me is that... in all of these "Future kid goes into the past and knows shit bout what happens" stories. Doesn't Saru know how Nobuna's going to die? So....

Anyways, the comedy isn't a bad twist to it, so I don't think this anime'll be bad.

The above average production values are tempting me to continue watching it, however, the characters are really pulling this show down for me. I could overcome my sense of disbelief that so many females are born into high positions all at the same time but especially the lolis are obnoxious and unnatural.

It might be a somewhat enjoable show but that's not enough for me to continue.

Wished Madhouse had spent its efforts for something more worthwhile.

If only they could do something like this but make it a serious anime with 'normal' characters..

I was on the edge of dropping it, I'm not really into those kind of characters, but Madhouse has done a great job here I can't just let it go, the animation, action, BGM.. everything except the girls was just amazing, I just hope they concentrate more on the action and actually make a plot to it.

I'm going to have to drop it. Animation, BGM, and even action are not enough to make me continue. I would like a show like this, but with a bunch of badasses and a crazy awesome story then with a bunch of moe girls, so what I'm trying to say is that I agree with you. Haha

I expected this to be another run of the mill back in time series, but it has proved to be something else in its entirety. I love the fact that so many of the characters have been gender-bent, because it's somewhat plausible that some of the major names 450 years ago could potentially have been females.

Besides that, the animation was gorgeous, and I really liked the character designs. I can't wait to see what this show has in store.

It is like one of the best of its kind. I hope they keep the serious and comedy level in check. Nobuna is freaking cool and hot chick at the same time, whats more, Itou Kanae doing the voicing. This shouldn't go wrong.

This is ridiculous.

The main characters are little kids. Were the historical Japanese heroes really as young as these kids?

This is a project for selling fantasies to school kids. If the main characters were 10 years older, I wouldn't had dropped this.

The gender bender of samurai generals from Sengoku period is not a bad idea. This episode is quite interesting. I loved the female design of samurai lords.

Oda Nobuna is so tsundere in this episode. I can't believe that Kinoshita Tokichiro is actually Hideyoshi Toyotomi, too bad that he was dead, he was one of the best general who served Lord Oda Nobuna (Oda Nobunaga) from Sengoku period.

So, Sagara Yoshiharu is replacing Kinoshita Tokichiro (Hideyoshi Toyotomi)'s roles"

This is a step up from the last few gender reversed Sengoku series I've started (and usually dropped). While making many of the major characters female, they have kept at least some male characters (and provided a semi-plausible reason as to why females suddenly begin inheriting titles and positions--to avoid weakening families due to succession struggles) and that's a bit better. I think the key point will be if they start splitting off from the original timeline, at which point Monkey is going to have to start using his brain rather than his memory (since he was the real unifier of Japan after Nobuna(ga) dies he'd better be up for the job). In the absence of an anime version of Sengoku Rance, I guess it will have to do.

And it seems we will either get a flashback in a future episode or an OVA episode 0 to explain just how our MC ended up on that battlefield in the first place

I knew it it's the same Hanzou voice actor as for the brave 10, I knew it as soon as I heard his voice.

This anime reminds me so much of Koihime musou VN. Let's see how it all turns out. So far it's not really good, but it's neither bad so I'll just keep watching. Lots of pretty girls too :P

since I'm not a guy the girls have zero appeal to me and I came here for a really good historical anime....and I didn't get that.
I thought it would be more serious judging from the trailers....guess not.

2/5.

Also, HOW did he time travel?

I don't have a problem with the premise, in fact I actually started watching it for that very reason. The episode was a disappointment however. Not only is Itou Kanae using her Niku voice that I hate so much, there is too much emphasis on the girl-hitting-boy antics. Absolutely unnecessary and distracting, I hope they will tone it down somewhat. Hachisuka also made my ear bleed and not in the good way. 3/5.
