----------------------------------------
The preair is up online, about 22 minutes long.

Oda Nobunaga is easily the most noticable character in this so far. He meets a pretty woman on the road so I wonder her significance in this show. I have to admit, this show/episode had more fan service than I had expected. From just the first half, we got at least two of the main guys near nude.

It's still a serious show though by the looks of it, not too much for jokes.

I may drop this. Really boring imo.

As much as I like hot guys, I'm so fed up with idolized Oda Nobunaga. This anime won't provide me anything new unless they make him gay.

A series about Nobunaga during his young age. Seems interesting so far.

Not that great IMO. Pretty boring, storyline didn't really have any impact to it. I did like that it did have a little historical accuracy, but thought it was stretched a little too much.

Nobunaga seems to be the focus of a lot of animes recently.

As a Sengoku Nerd (with a particular interest in Nobunaga himself) i was so excited for this because it's actually quite hard to find any decent information about him in the West. I was not disappointed! Thought this was a great first episode that introduced Nobunaga's personality, clan and morals well.

This will be my favorite seasonal of all. Historical accuracy about a character I like a lot, even though Sengoku era is not my favorite I love Nobunaga. the first episode already shows his true nature of a skilled guy with a particular intelligence.
I was sure I was going to love it, and I was not disappointed. Love you Oda Nobunaga.

Japan can't stop making anime about Oda Nobunaga, it's like crack to them, they need more and more and more, can't stop, don't know how to stop.

I just can't ignore historical Japanese anime- I'm sorry no matter how unpopular it is.

I just didn't appreciate for how fast this episode was, but I'll forgive it. I want to see some samurai action and war with a bit of romance on the side.

Thought it was gonna be a pretty boys anime. It seems like it's more than that. But the drama looks kinda mediocre. Will have to watch another episode or two to decide.

Umm...not so sure whether to invest in this anime. 3 episode count.

I'm sure we've all seen resemblances of Oda Nobunaga, probably too much.

Plus Studio Deen's disastrous showing of Bakumatsu, its not hard to see why.

I have to admit: It was a bit weird to see Nobunaga and his companion in their childhood and Nobunaga getting interested in an older girl. Also him being always bare chested on the horse and the feminine looks.

With the older design (as seen in OP/ED and on the official website) in their youth it should feel a bit better (and hopefully more clothed). I think they'll progress quickly to that point.

So far the episode was not that interesting for most of the time. I liked how he stood up against his father though. Was nice and I'd expected it to end up with some laughing of the fater where he probably recognized Nobunaga's resolve.

I'll give this a few more episodes. Hopefully a bit more timeskip until episode 2-3 and them reaching the final char design and age they are going to use until the end of the anime.

Mother, father - and the other chars (which weren't made feminine) were nice. And the setting. I especially liked the monk and his voice.

Interesting. I guess I'll learn a little about the history of Nobunaga, one of Japan's most representative characters. Although of course, I will not take everything that comes out in this anime to the letter, after all, it is an anime xD.
I hope to see a lot of action.

Well depends on what you mean by "gay". Nobunaga did have a boy lover, as a part of nanshoku tradition.

Yes, but I haven't heard anything about this on any fictional adaptation, maybe because all of his boys are underage by today's law and it'll make him look bad?

There was an anime last season called "Nobunaga-sensei no Osanazuma" that featured erotic scenes between the two (reincarnated) characters. But yeah, dunno. Japan doesn't have as much stigma surrounding age gaps as the west, and stuff like lolicon/shotacon is still pretty common in entertainment.

Feudal Japan anime like this will never take the spotlight of the season, but so far I am satisfied with what I have seen. Will definitely stick around.

Watching for Oda's cute pout... oh wait.
Art better of Deen's pile.
lots of nobunaga shows... but the noble thief & father confrontations are new to me gives him more characterization.
Cool op, but bits reminds of dororo ouch. Ninja looks different than that older show with Goemon in white hair.

I'm not sure exactly what this was missing? It had nice animation. The story was fine. It just felt... dull somehow. I'm not sure how to describe it.

Interesting first episode, So Oda was a thief once

At least his dad could appreciate him coming up for his comrades instead of becoming mad and shooting them anyway
