A Studio Deen show that is decent to good? Colour me surprised, since most of their shows are low quality garbage. In the case of this series, as much as it is for the famous (and precariously overused) Sengoku era warrior Oda Nobunaga, it was a heck of a wild ride knowing his young life, and quite possibly the road and path to the great warrior of which we all know him by in long-lasting fashion of history footnotes. The only seemingly "orígjnal" stuff that the production staff added into the mix was the BL aspect of the male characters that seemingly is the trial and tribulationsof followers and retainers of the central characters Nobunaga and his brother Nobukatsu. Needless to say, as much as it as for being otome-ish, being a straight guy watching Otome shows isn't my shtick, but it's full of loopholes and the uncomfortable feelings of manipulation. I'm sure the female otakus who love otome-style shows will dig this, but I'm fine and neutral about it. As mentioned, Studio Deen's art and animation was QUITE exceptional (that is to their standards). I thought I was gonna see the same old Deen shitty stuff, but I'd have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how good this series was fleshing out the historical aspects that don't quite come close to replicating the Sengoku Era, but for what it is, it's above average production. The OST is particularly the most important element when it comes to historical anime, and this series managed to nail the seemingly very particulars of history, and without a doubt, it managed pleasantly too. Had fun with the OP, and it's so catchy that I couldn't skip this genericness of a song. May'n's ED was also plenty fine, though in declining quality as per her recent song repertoire. Coming this close as an original take of Oda Nobunaga's young life ís quite the show to look upon, but at the same time, it's nothing to marvel about. If historical anime is your shtick, please check this out. Otherwise, as always with Studio Deen stuff, pass it up.
