The Monkey's Journey To Nobuna Panties
The Ambition of Oda Nobuna Is an anime that asked a question, would the Sengoku period be better If we replace the men with cute anime girls, and the answer is no but hell if isn't cute.
Are you a person who feels Nostalgia for the 2010s anime, anime where the main character is obnoxious and surrounded by lollies, and constantly getting ahead by not following orders. Then this is the Nostalgia you need.
The premise of the anime is just so funny. a man who's in love with old Japan, but now all his favorite characters are women and he can put his dick in them, and then the story just continues in the most funny and lollies like way. It's such a dumb premise, but hey I am entertained completely and the character designs for the women and lollies are c…

This is a pretty damn bad anime. A whole lot of nothing happens and I actually really like the Senogoku Period and Nobunaga's story, so this should be up my alley but nope!
There is absolutely zero characterization, just very brief goals that come out of nowhere with no meaning. They say they care or want this and that for no reason but we're made to just go with it. Probably the worst part of this anime is there is no sense of where they are. We don't see any traveling and despite them just instantly transporting to one province to another, looking identical, there's no sense of space or tangibility that grounds these characters. Mino, Oumi and Owari look exactly the same with the tiniest of differences, the only reason I know they're in a different place is cause the anime said so! They…

Historical anime where we see Nobuna's story, only they change the genre and well. Actually I just finished this anime, and I was surprised. The relationship that the characters have with the protagonist and how he manages to change them is very well done. Then we see a typical isekai main character with a harem more or less. I recommend it if you like historical fights and stuff. The animation is very good, the soundtrack does not disappoint, and the character development is very good. The design is also very nice to see, I love how they use the historical knowledge that the protagonist has to help the waifu. I recommend it

A historical isekai that's actually pretty good. Oda Nobuna no Yabou is an anime about the journey of Oda Nobuna to unite all of Japan together with some dude who came from the future assisting "her" a little as she proceed.
I've always loved historical things and I don't particularly hate isekais. When these two combined together, it's pretty much a free get - meaning "why not just watch it?". Honestly, Oda Nobuna was a really good anime. I used to watch historical Japanese shows centered around the Sengoku period and they're really good. Let's just say that Oda Nobuna no Yabou is the Japanese cartoon version of those where it tells the story in different aspects.
It's cool to see how this anime slightly changes the history and bend it to their own story. Make the generals be all-girl…

It is quite different kind of anime. It started off just like other anime but then it turned out to be pretty amazing. It's kind of historical which makes it one of my interest. It does not contain that much fighting scene or too much strategy going on but still manages to be a good watch.
During episode 6-9 it is but boring but picks up the pace and I quite liked how it came to end. Story-wise it is pretty great and at the same time I really liked the execution.
It could have been a masterpiece if it just has better soundtrack, better action sequence and strategic.
But it still delivers to be quite great watch. You may not like the male protagonist, but you will sure start loving Oda(female protagonist). Her character design is just so beautiful. Overall it is pretty good anime.

While many people claim this is a 10/10 anime or high rating, it is actually really not.
Someone said it's because the girls didn't lust over the main, but don't let that fool ya.
The historical aspect of the anime might actually be true that is good.
The main character has knowledge of the history and might or will happen, he helps nobuna.
This is a good watch tho don't get me wrong it was enjoyable watching it at the time.
Story-7 (nothing really just winning the battles, which were enjoyable)
Art-7 (the art was good nothing amazing) Sound-8 (Good op and ed, voice acting very good)
Enjoyment-8 (some good light chcukles and very good if you watch in one go, 7 if you don't watch in one go)
Overall- 7 ( Probably an 8, but 7 is good enough, not a high anime, Knowledge to help and a roman…

I really loved this story. I am a big history buff and lived in Japan for 10 years. Seeing an alternate history was interesting. I have only 2 complaints. The beginning doesn't really explain how he ended up there in the first place. I assume they were looking to fill people in with later seasons. The other is that he did not get his reward from Nobuna at the end of this season. Everything he went through and she couldn't even give him something so simple. Other than those two issues I found the anime to be fantastic and I really want a second season. But as this anime is from 2012, I doubt it will happen.

I had a good time enjoying this. Me being someone that know's little of Japanese history besides who Oda was, I was surprisingly not lost or confused about events and the history of what was happening.
I still find it kind of weird that these old gruff men have have been turned into attractive young females. Only thing that could make it weirder is if they changed gender while formally being males.
I like the romance and that it ends on a good note for the show.
Don't really like how overly much it kind of became like Final Fantasy in the last two episodes with people with overly gigantic swords.
I kind of want to see Nobuna experience modern day times and just see what the world is like.
Overall i really enjoyed this and wish we get another season sometime in the future.

Wtf? How is the average of this only 7.6? I finished this just now so still might be post-anime high, but that was so enjoyable it's ridiculous! All the feels and everything just arrrgh.
This started kinda meh imo, it was immediately gripping for me at least, always a fan of instant immersion (thrown into action straight away), but the characters seemed shallow and unrelatable. Oh boi oh boi oh boi! That does not stay that way at all. This has some of the best characters from anything ever, almost everyone changes themselves on a fundamental level, becoming better, learning to trust in one another. All the character and relationship arcs are so impressively executed!
Why's the art a 9 instead of a 10? B/c I couldn't get over how stupid the MC's haircut looked, not a fan of that character…

***This is a spoiler free review***
Have you ever started watching something with the intent for it to fail? This might sound strange but after having this show recommended to me by so many people I wanted to come here today and just rant on how horrible it was just so I could stick it in their faces and state they were wrong. Unfortunately I ended up liking Oda Nobuna no Yabou a lot more than I wanted even with its various faults.
Story: 6/10
Understand this if you are interested in watching this anime; this is not a serious action/adventure show. I was lead to believe after the first couple minutes that this was going to be a storytelling of how our average Joe was going to help lead Japan to peace. While that is the underlying focal point of the show, this show tries to do exactly wh…

I'm going to give this one a quick review considering there isn't a ton to say about it. This is the tale of nobunaga the fool as retold if a boy came from the future to the past and all of the generals were kawaii girls. Said boy is an expert on history and uses this expertise to help nobuna (his love interest) to conquer Japan while changing key events so everyone can live happily ever after and no one needs to die (minus countless soldiers who no one cares about). Basically... this is the VN/Anime Kohime Musou without the nudity.
Don't get me wrong, this is done well and the characters are appealing and interesting. You get a retelling of history with some notable changes but with the guise of being a romance plot with cute girls so it appeals to all the weebs of the world. It is done…

This anime was a big surprise for me, first because i saw this was a harem and i don't mind harem but i have seen a lot of them and i thought this was going to be like the other ones and i was really wrong in a way, second was because i didn't thought they were going to focus on the story and just in the girls but they made a decent job focusing on both.
Story
Well, the story was good, it follows a 17-year-old high schooler Sagara Yoshiharu who one day time-travels to the Sengoku period and that is the why i didn't gave this a better score because you don't really get to know how he time-traveled to the Sengoku period not even through any episode, the reason was unknown but other than that it was great, the fact that he knew how to change the history and helped Nobuna to achieved a way to…

After watching Oda Nobuna , at first glance it look like it was going be another harem anime and very boring to watch . However i was definitely wrong , not only does anime have a good story ,it makes you want for more . Those who want learn little more about Sengoku period are in for a treat . Though music and art are pretty average . The story and characters make up for it . Especially for those who live outside japan , you can learn something from watching this . On top that the dub of this anime is not bad either . Although this anime may not be for all. Those that do like historical periods will get enjoyment out of it . Over all this was pretty entertaining anime . And I pray that there a season 2 .

I loved the extremely fast pacing of the story. It's easy to just fly through the episodes forgetting about how much time passed. That in itself makes this excellent. What's fun about it is that it's all made according to actual historical events, so you also learn history while watching it... that is, if you don't care about genders of people or any inconsistencies with the actual history, introduced here by our protagonist from the future. It's interesting how protagonist's original life or the way he came to the past is never addressed, because it's not point of the story. This kind of fast pacing and moving the story forward doesn't allow for it, and it totally works.
I wouldn't think that alternate harem-ish history in which most famous people are gender swapped into anime girls, wo…

My god, Oda Nobuna no Yabou, what can i say about this anime ?
I feel so ashamed that i judged this show by its cover. I thought it was just another ecchi-harem anime with lots of girls while it wasn't.
Well it actually is one of the most exciting history lesson i've ever taken in my life. I always love history and very interested in Japan history. While you may say it's not very accurate because every characters are girls for some reasons (moe?), it makes this show much easier to watch and we can learn exact what happened in history through the progress of the show.
The story is creative, the artstyle is amazing. However, the characters of this show are very emotional, and that's the main problem i had, i didnt think this fits the war affair. Beside that, i think this anime is worth yo…

The anime is about Sagara Yoshiharu, who travels back into the Sengoku era where feudal lords fight among each other to expand their territory and to inch their way into conquering Japan. The anime opens with our main, Sagara, trapped in a battle field. He meets the leader of the Oda clan, Oda Nobunaga. No, wait. He is shocked to discover that the man who unified Japan is actually a young tsundere blonde. She’s not Oda Nobunaga; she is Oda Nobuna. Sagara then decides to serve under Oda Nobuna and using his knowledge of playing video games about his conquest, he has proved to be a valuable weapon for Oda. He helps her correct wrongs that happened in history and to predict the events to give Oda the advantage. He also vowed to make sure she’s alive after she conquered Japan. It’s not an easy…

When I read the synopsis without thinking much, the first thing that came to my mind was that all the characters in the anime, except for the protagonist, were females. I was wrong.
Story: 9/10
A story based on Japanese History, which actually entertained me and educated me a bit, mainly because I have Japanese classes. It wasn't boring, it didn't drag out that much and if it did, it would be fan-service/some comedy skit added into that. If I were to give a score on originality about the type of story being used in the anime, I'd give it a 9 but if I based it on how much it entertained me, I'd give it a solid 4 but the only thing that saved it was they made it different by putting the protagonist to be someone from the future, having the 'ability' (not sure if I could call it an ability)…

I love history. I love anime. Combining both of them is like winning a million dollars and the girl (or guy) of your dreams. In other words, it's heaven. Now, when I first started this show, I was a bit reluctant. There are two ways to go about making a historical anime, let alone one that has romance in there as well. The first is to make it as historically accurate as possible. The result of this of course is potentially boring your viewers to death. The second way is to make a parody of history, in which case you risk offending your viewers. The Ambition of Oda Nobuna (Oda Nobuna no Yabou) does neither of this. Oda Nobuna is historical romcom that shows what a matriarchal society would have looked like during the Sengoku or Warring period of Japan. Talking from a historical viewpoint, t…

Unlike the other review, I'm just going to start off with why I graded them ( ).
Story 9/10
Main Male Lead, Sagara Yoshiharu, has been nicknamed by Oda Nobunaga ' Monkey ' or ' Saru '. No, I'm sorry. Main Male Lead, Sagara Yoshiharu, has been nicknamed by Oda Nobuna ' Monkey ' or ' Saru '. This anime is a historical, romantic and comedy with a large change of physical looks from the normal history (Gender swap). Plot twists are quite unpredictable. Main Female Lead, Oda Nobuna, is a blonde. I repeat. A blonde. I was quite surprised considering Oda Nobunaga had black hair. The story follows the history that we know with slight changes which was made when Monkey (Sagara Yoshiharu) time-traveled there. The story's pacing was good. Nothing was rushed. Ending was okay. Although the romance…

WEll i had to give full 10 for everything because of how awesome this anime is. It's not your typical harem, so mc isn't super dense but still a pervert. At points of the anime it felt epic which is probably the selling point for me. It is also very comical at times and is super badass, I mean chicks wrecking shit, dammmm. Oh and did I mention the loli? yeah mc makes a loli army
