| Oh I just saw this on ANN a few hours ago. Nevertheless, very excited for it. |
| I was hoping for Oda Nobuna 2, but this works I guess. |

| -looks at seiyu- Okay, looks nice. But. Mamoru Miyano as Nobunaga? Depending on the 'comedy' level of this show, this is either going to remind me of Light or Takuto. Funny Shoji isn't mentioned as director, while he has more experience than Sato. Anyway, the idea sounds fun, but unless it actually is a serious anime, I'm out. Unless the first episode is going to laugh my socks off. And those are long. @Ovoon: rather prefer the second season of Nobuna-chan here too. x3 |

| I had missed the March announcement, so more Kawamori is always welcomed, but mecha with Kaguya d'Arc, Da Vinci and Nobunaga, I don't know, could be great, could be awful. Great cast though. |

Candor said: its ok, no matter how out of place sugita's voice may be, its outweighed by the fact that its sugitaOda Nobunaga: Mamoru Miyano Jeanne Kaguya d'Arc: Yoko Hikasa Aketi-Mitsuhide: Takahiro Sakurai Toyotomi Hideyoshi: Yuki Kaji Ichihime: Minori Chihara Leonardo da Vinci: Tomokazu Sugita ^ Not sure if I should be happy or not about such historical figures being voiced by such great yet sounds totally unfitting VAs. I mean seriously, THE Oda Nobunaga voiced by Miyano? Onto the actual show's premise, that has got to be the dumbest and most insane thing iv heard for a premise, i fucking love it. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Sounds dumb, but who knows. |
| prolly a parody-comedy anime , will watch |
 |
| Looks great! the VA cast is awesome and Kazuki Yone's art is awesome! |
 |
| That cast certainly looks "interesting". I'm eager to see how this will turn out. |
Candor said: YolozuyaSwagSon said: Yuki Kaji in that cast is just another retarded thing to do, and Toyotomi? Yeah, that killed all of my hopes for this. The director's name doesn't seem that promising either.Holy...that VA cast...uber-hnnng. Nevermind Fuck Yuki Kaji. Hurrah, more Yuki Kaji hate. Why is it another retarded thing to do? Yuki Kaji has really flexible vocal cords. |
| DAT CAST |
| I'm wondering what Jeanne D'Arc and Leonardo Da Vinci were doing in Sengoku era. Great cast of voice actors. |
 |
| Pretty crazy - and interesting - mix we have here. Will give it a try, for sure. |
... |
| Surely my entire point in life is to witness Leonardo da Vinci in anime format and hearing him speak Japanese and be voiced by Tomokazu Sugita. That premise alone is worthy of being bestowed the accolade of Beautiful. |
| WOW This sounds fun! Oda Nobunaga and Leonardo da Vinci? Lol. Not much of a sci-fi mecha action fan though Edit: And holy shit, that CAST! |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Why is it always Nobunaga? This sounds very weird though. Historical figures plus robots. Historical figures which lived centuries apart plus robots. This is going to be the best show ever. |

 |
| Looks like a female oriented show .... |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

Yuki Kaji has really flexible vocal cords. While I was looking to see if Kaji was in the cast because I love his voice, others were looking at his name and had the opposite reaction. Haha agreed with the flexible vocal cords. zenith_kim94 said: I thought I was the only one who doesn't seem to like Yuki Kaji. Where have you been? There's quite a lot of hate for Kaji Yuuki. You should've seen the people complaining when they saw that he was voicing Eren before SnK came out. People also hate him because he voiced Haruyuki and Shu. Anyways, this looks quite interesting. When I saw Nobunaga in the title I thought it was another news for Nobunagun or something. So many Nobunagas. |

| Mamoru Miyano is in this, so I must watch this. |

You should've seen the people complaining when they saw that he was voicing Eren before SnK came out. People also hate him because he voiced Haruyuki and Shu. I'm pretty sure that most of the hate comes from the roles he voices, not his actual voice. People may argue otherwise, but he really is a fantastic seiyuu. Also, looking forward to this anime. Premise is pretty different. :> |
This is odd becuase Oda in the key visual looks like a mix of Gintoki and Ragna (both Sugita characters) yet he is voiced by Mamo. And then we have Leonardo da vinci who I perceive as being someone flamboyant and eccentric (Like most Mamoru characters) is voiced by Sugita. |
[center] |
| April Fool's...oh, wait, it's not April. The key visual makes it look more action-oriented than a comedy. Change the setting and character names to made-up characters, I'd possibly consider... However, that's not the case. I wouldn't be able to stomach all the historical inconsistencies, and the whole made-up premise as a whole. Leonardo and Jeanne (aka Joan) are both from before the other characters, not to mention the only European ones. At least choose some from the same period as the other characters... Okay, enough complaining from me. |
(Almost) 13 years on MAL! ()__() (='.'=) (")_(") |
| THE CAST! okay, I'm done. |
  |
| Dat cast. Will watch. |
| When do the idols come in, when does the animation take and when do the characters cross the threshold of insufferable forever? Honestly I'd love it if Kawamori could rekindle some of the old magic from the classic Macross and Escaflowne days but the way he is now I'm not holding my breath. Expectations set pretty low for this. edit: Wait Kawamori isn't directing this himself right? If not that makes me considerably more hopeful. |

| > Toyotomi Hideyoshi: Yuki Kaji Welp, not gonna bother with this then. |
 |
| ^ Interesting, a lot of watchers in Japan who do not like Kaji's voice thought he indeed improved and more than bearable when he voiced Eren. |

| I'm almost never hear someone complain about Yuki Kaji voicing Issei from DxD. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| I might be interested, but need to check the artwork out first. Nice cast, but I feel like Yuki Kaiji is stalking me lately, lol. Seriously, this guy is in every single series I watch. While I like his voice, I'm getting a bit tired of it. |
  |
| Will watch, the premise sounds a bit silly but if it has some of the goofiness of EVOL it sure will be fun. But I would much rather have had a new Macross project to be honest. It's been more than 5 years since Macross Frontier came out and more than 2 and a half since the last of the movies. Come on Kawamori! |

Candor said: But thats just what eren was, hes nothing but anger and nothing else, its a shallow character and you really cant blame the voice actor for not being able to bring a 1 dimensional character to life. symbv said: Sadly, not for me. Yes he might've gotten better by sounding angry all the time, but his voice is still as unbearable.^ Interesting, a lot of watchers in Japan who do not like Kaji's voice thought he indeed improved and more than bearable when he voiced Eren. |

| Nobunaga and da Vinci? Well that should be interesting. |
| Kawamori must love his job. Make anime with fun ridiculous premises, however he wants, get support for it from the best in the business and make money out of it |
| kinda need more info so will wait for the website to be available |
Candor said: Laciie said: Because his voice sucks. Examples? Shu, Hanemura (from Zetusen no Tempest), Alibaba, and Eren, especially the last 2. In their respective manga series they were respectable characters you could love and admire, once their anime started, both characters turned to crap and became unbearable.Candor said: YolozuyaSwagSon said: Yuki Kaji in that cast is just another retarded thing to do, and Toyotomi? Yeah, that killed all of my hopes for this. The director's name doesn't seem that promising either.Holy...that VA cast...uber-hnnng. Nevermind Fuck Yuki Kaji. Hurrah, more Yuki Kaji hate. Why is it another retarded thing to do? Yuki Kaji has really flexible vocal cords. Well this is subjective, but I think his job with Eren really proved his capability as a voice actor. He put on an absolutely amazing performance by being Eren, and was perfectly sutied to be Eren, to me. Alibaba was also another good role; I'm not going to argue for Hanamura because I found him sub-par. There's also Sion, Lyon, Nell from Blood Lad, Finnian from Kuroshitsuji. He is an amazing voice actor, but I guess if you don't like his voice itself, you're going to dislike anything he plays. |
