Oda Nobuna no Yabou Review


I’ll get right to the point, this was a great anime. We have an anime set in a pseudo version of Japans Civil War, depicting a female version of the historic Japanese figure Oda Nogunaga. Her name is Oda Nobuna, and her aim is for Japans unification. Now, our main character is not actually Oda Nobuna, but a high schooler sent to the past for reasons unknown. His name is Yoshiharu Sagara, and he is your typical ballsy character with a love for woman, and video games? Yes, video games. That is what this anime is mostly about, Sagara trying to set and or prevent things from happening he played in a game called “Nobunaga’s Ambition”. He can essentially tell what the future has in store, and uses this knowledge to help Oda and her clan.

Art wise this anime was alright, nothing amazing but just alright. Where the anime shines is the story as well as its characters. No pointless episodes with this one, all episodes are enjoyable and no less important than the previous. I don’t know anything about Japanese history, but it seems to portray historic events very well. My one complaint was that it was never explained, or even attempted to explain Sagara’s time travel experience. Judging by the ending it seems a sequel is in the works, so hopefully an explanation is given then…

Score - 8/10
