An extremely specific way of presenting the main characters' opponents with gay camp elements. Deadly threats are presented at once humorously and macabre. Additionally, children are placed in situations that are completely inappropriate for their age.

-Both animes are set in the dynasty area -Both betrayed by the one they admired and lost everything to them (empire, loved ones, etc.) , and now have to go on a journey to find comrades and become stronger to reclaim their empire and vengeance

Both are historical series about characters who survive a rebellion and have to fight to reclaim their countries  
report Recommended by Warrenn
They are both epic historical stories that look at the struggle between clans. Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi just like the Heike Monogatari is set in an era of rising military tension. There is similarities in friendships that are formed and both are from the prespective of the child.

Both shows depict revenge stories about samurai and political drama.

In both series, a group of children under the leadership of a strange adult face deadly threats. In addition, all of them are colorful, intriguing characters, and the threats are presented in a funny and at the same time macabre way.

Both main characters are in the oldern time period of their country. The main character lost everything they once were from (fushi yugi isekaied and nige lost his country). They both are considered priestess/prince and goes on a journey to meet companions who protect them and save the country. Very similar vibes.

- Real-life characters with a twist ✅ - Story that takes a different path from history ✅ Nige jouzu is a better anime with well-written plot, while oda nobuna is your avg. harem story with a twist.
