Well, series is over today.
Tbh, I thought overall Oda Nobuna no Yabou was pretty damn good. There were so many loli throughout the series and a lot of fights (especially in this episode with even the firey backgrounds). The "healing" part was sort of amusing especially but I'm glad that Sagara is ok now. Also, the tsundere Nobuna Oda and Sagara makes a funny team despite their constant battering. Overall, it was a fun watch for weekends and the entertainment was delivered well.
8/10
Also based on that ending, I'm expecting a season 2
Although I thought that there would be more action, it was still a good ending for this season. Throughout the episode there hints of a second season, I just hope that they do it soon!
Anyway, its a great series, something that I would look forward to every Sunday, so its 8/10.
Just watched it on CR, with that ending, I'm really hoping this gets a second season! xD
It was a really good ending episode, though that red head warlord at the end basically makes me say "MORE PLEASE!!"
Brilliant ep. Can't believe they didn't kiss but I was kind of expecting that. It seems to be the norm nowadays in anime, an interruption will always appear when the main couple is about to kiss. The hug was a nice compensation for it though showing there closeness with each other.
Lol the viper already has plans for Sagara to marry Nobuna xD
Didn't really like Akechi closeness with Sagara when he was unconscious. I hope in S2 she doesn't get in the way of Sagara and Nobuna.
I'm not really familiar with Japanese history but the red head warlord does seem like a formidable foe for nobuna. That pretty much says Season 2 right there.
10/10 this anime gets from me. Enjoyed every single episode.
This was freaking perfect , it was full of epicness . Everything about this anime was so epic , the animation , the OSTs , the story . I hope for a second season , the only bad thing about this anime is that it's too short .
good final episode, overall a decent series, 8/10 for me.
At least Oda Nobuna belongs to one of a few good anime this season and it badly needs a 2nd season like Kuroko no Basket.
;_; holy ... goodbye to Hyouka, Kuroko, and now this ... how cruel is life ...
At the start I was skeptical, and I occasionally struggled with some of the elements, but the last few episodes were really good, particularly the final.
I was SO psyched when Oda wounded Konoe and the building he set fire to fell on him. For some reason I just love that sort of end.
I'm convinced Oda was contemplating suicide before Sagara showed up.
LOL at the faces of the gang watching Sagara trying to kiss Oda, especially Viper urging them on, Maeda saying " no fair", and Jubei chewing on her robe.
ROTFLMAO at the faces of the gang watching Oda beat Sagara for her embarrassment, particularly Viper face-palming and shaking his head.
I was expecting to dislike this series when it started because there are so many mediocre anime, games, movies on this subject that I expected this was one to be just another. However, i was pleasantly surprised and ended up liking it.
The ending was a little worse than i hoped, but still good. Hoping for a second season as the first didn't really end on a "this is it, everything is concluded" note.
Definitely one of the best anime this season and a great ending.
Mitsuhide having feelings for Sagara was also confirmed and she even warmed him up like that she is pretty daring after all.
The scene's where Sagara almost kissed Nobuna was also pretty nice and i have to say the effect of the mountain burning made it even better.
There where also some nice fights again and it was a pretty intense episode.
It also seems that we get a very interesting enemy next season so things will be nice if it comes out.
9/10. Fabulous ending. I wonder which province that woman at the end is from. haha it was funny how they didn't get to kiss because nobuna figured it wasn't a dream. I hope a season 2 comes
Great series; so much better than i thought it would be; i may even go as far to call it the surprise of the season for me behind Kokoro Connect; the ending was what i pictured it to be; its a shame that they didn't get to kiss but that hug was still good all the same; and it was a typical Nobuna reaction anyway, she isn't the kind to kiss in front of other people :P; also seems like Mitsuhide started to like Sagara for real; i mean she may have always had admiration but its clear that its been turned into affection; wonder how Nobuna would react if she knew how Mitsuhide "healed" Sagara :P
In any case as much as i want a season 2; and the ending scene implies one; i can't say that its for certain; unlike Kuroko i don't think this has the sales for a second season; just because it has the material left and it implies a second season doesn't mean there will be on; its the unfortunate truth of money makes the world go round; if it doesn't sell there won't be a season 2; so here is to hoping that sales do well and we get a announcement soon for a season 2 :D
Wish they could market the anime better. At first glance at the summary it was very.. generic. But I'm glad I went for it. Perhaps my second favorite this season behind Kokoro Connect.
This was an excellent episode; one that served as a satisfying, suitably climactic conclusion to the series as a whole.
Oda is easily my favorite character, and her romantic moments with Sagara created one of the best and most interesting elements of the show. As such, I loved that this episode primarily focused on their increasingly fated relationship, and how immensely important they are to one another. Their reunion was a fantastic moment, effectively highlighting all that they had gone through, and that their romantic affections toward one another had grown considerably over time, culminating with that impressively satisfying hug. I would have preferred a kiss, but I knew how unlikely that was, and their plethora of romantic moments throughout the end of this episode more than made up for that somewhat unfortunate exclusion. I really liked the moment where Dousan, distinctly aware of their growing relationship, mentions Oda and Sagara's eventual marriage.
Mitsuhide has been my least favorite character by far throughout the show's entirety, and that feeling doesn't really diminish in this episode, as her character becomes even more grating, especially in comparison to all the other characters, who tend to, at the very least, be interesting and enjoyable. The cave scene involving her "healing" Sagara, although thankfully much shorter than in the LN, was rather unnecessary and detracted from the serious tone of the surrounding events. On top of that, the bits of jealousy she occasionally displayed towards Oda and Sagara's relationship was quite annoying, due to the inevitable, but extremely disappointing fact that she does develop significant feelings for Sagara, which I didn't like in the LN, and I don't really care for it here either. Niwa and Katsuie are great characters, and their brief moments of fighting were particularly terrific. Goemon and Inuchiyo are two of my favorite characters, and they were, as always, fantastic in this episode, particularly when Goemon was stumbling over her words once again and pretty much any scene Inuchiyo was involved with. I really enjoyed that Nobukatsu and Nagamasa appeared towards the end, reaffirming their continued relationship, while also serving as a nice conclusion to their small sub-plot.
The story was consistently interesting, offering a historical intrigue that was rather refreshing. Also, I love that it rose above the flawed approach of denigrating itself as merely a harem. Thankfully, for the most part, the harem antics were left out entirely, allowing for a more tonally consistent show, rarely derailing into the sort of awful comedy and obtrusive fanservice that usually accompanies mediocre harems. This lack of harem antics also resulted in an excellently increased focus on Oda and Sagara's relationship, which was a far better aspect than what otherwise would have been.
Although brief, the battle of kanegasaki was portrayed thrillingly, from Katsuie's excellent fight with the two female swordsman to the fiery fight between Oda and Konoe. This was a brilliantly animated fight, and definitely the highlight of the episode, as it proved a thoroughly tense and exciting sequence. The visuals were fantastic throughout, from the incredible action to the amazing shot of the eagle flying through the clouds at the end. These action sequences were aided wonderfully by the superb direction, which has always been one of the best qualities of the show, as said direction creatively illuminates the bits of fighting in a rather exciting fashion, always handling these moments with a particular nuance that is both interesting and intense. The music was somewhat inconsistent in quality. As such, there were times where it was thoroughly mediocre, but, for the most part, it was quite good, accompanying particular moments rather well.
It really wasn’t the most faithful adaptation, but I thought it improved on the LN in many areas, particularly regarding the anime's wise choice to decrease the amount of Mitsuhide (the worst character).
If there's a second season, I sincerely hope this minimizing of Mitsuhide continues, because, in the LN's, she becomes a massive nuisance in volume 6 and 7, constantly interfering with Oda and Sagara's relationship, and, by that time, they're fully aware of their love for one another, so I was always left perplexed as to why she had to ruin so many scenes. I have faith though that this certain aspect would be toned down considerably in the anime, since there's rarely any purpose for it, except to show a "comically dense" Mitsuhide, which only comes off as comically terrible. Thankfully, she becomes a much more tolerable character after volume 7.
All in all, Oda Nobuna certainly surpassed my expectations, becoming one of the better and more enjoyable shows of the summer season. Takeda Shingen's appearance at the end was terrific, as it lends credence to the possibility of a second season, which I really hope happens eventually. A satisfying 7/10 for me.

Yeah i agree, if there is a second season and a lot of it is infected with some sort of love triangle crap, that would suck.
Anyway 9/10 for me, wasn't expecting it to only get 4,053 sales for the first volume though. Would of thought around 6000-9000, but oh well.
Everything an ending should have. Best fight scenes I've seen from this show, Katsuie vs the sisters was awesome. Surprised Yoshiharu made it out ok, but I guess Hanzo Hittori deserves more credit than I gave him, nice reunion but dammit kiss already! Seems like Mitsuhide and Yoshiharu got alittle closer than normal eheheheh. Wonder if that will be explored if there is a second 2.
Which speaking of, there probably will be a second season with that cliffhanger of an ending. Who is that red haired lady!
I'm calling a season 2 with an ending like that. Pre-order sales were much better than I expected, especially for something from Madhouse. The content for a season 2 is definitely there in the LNs, especially considering we didn't get an "anime original" ending, there are so many questions to be answered. I really enjoyed tuning in to this every week, and while not all episodes were 10/10 every episode was completly full with content and there was always something action/drama/comedy related going on. I really hope we get a season 2, now that the characters are fleshed out, we can get into more intense drama and action! I'm off to go buy the OST, [Support] the Official Release!

Well, thankfully, it's not really a proper love triangle, because Sagara doesn't care for Mitsuhide romantically at all, but it is really annoying how often she conveniently and needlessly interrupts several of their romantic moments.
this series beat my expectations and it's one of my fav this season now . hope theres enough sales for season 2...
I havent read the LN but i thought they were gona develop mitsuihide's love for saru into something like a hate for nobuna and betrayal in the future? cause nobuna's been hiding the relationship with saru from her and misleading her?
