Note: Oda Nobuna No Yabu has a light novel that continues the story after the anime, so presumably there is going to be a second season.
Synopsis:
The story is about a 17 year old high schooler Sagara Yoshiharu going back in time to the sengoku period. He meets Oda Nobuna and serves her as a substitute of Kinoshita Tokichiro who was killed by a stray bullet. All the samurai lords are girls, and the soldiers are all men. Yoshiharu, called Saru (which means monkey) by Nobuna, promises to help Nobuna to achieve her dream. Nobuna is influenced by western culture and wants to unite and conquer Japan to strengthen it to stand on equal footing with the western countries. Through many battles, sieges, betrayals and allegiances. Nobuna finally became a serious force to reckon with. Throughout the war, her feelings for yoshiharu becomes deeper and more intimate. Finally she openly admits that she like Yoshiharu.
Review:
The age group for watching this anime would be 13~18 for there are some ecchi scenes. This anime is more centered on playing with the idea of an alternate history. So whoever likes history, and altering it slightly this anime would be quite entertaining. The girls as warlords are a bonus. The historical content of this anime is quite accurate, and the war scenes and battle scenes are well done. With quite high budget animations. If you like a funny romantic anime series based on history of Japan this anime is perfect for you. Based on the age group or personal tastes the ecchi scenes can be good and bad. Often more than not though the war scenes are more interesting while between the small battles scenes there are scenes of girl warlords trying to win Yoshiharu's heart.
Aesthetics:
Aired in 2012 so a very recent anime, with very good music that fit with the battle scenes. A very good opening with good scenes of each of the advisors of Nobuna. Featuring each of their different styles. The thing that stood out most for me is still the historical style of the anime, which is portrayed very skillfully in the anime. (7/10)
Plot:
The plot is well made, since it follows the original history of Japan in the Sengoku era. Although with small twists in the history, for Yoshiharu is there influencing and stopping many tragedies from happening. Which makes predicting what will happen after very hard. The tense situation, near disastrous battles, along with hot and or cute girls make this anime very enjoyable to watch. (8/10)
