I was going to give it 8 or 9 since it's a good twist on Isekai and has good comedy. But there was no alternate history in the series and it's just a high school boy following the same path of Oda Nobunaga with some jokes added here and there.
And the jokes were reduced by the end of the season too and it instead became more dramatic telling of Sengoku period. If that was the intention of from the beginning, it would have been better to not have Isekai at all in the first place.
Honestly, the series made me so mad at seeing so much potential being squandered that I ended up writing a review.

---------NOBUNAGA´s FREAKY FRIDAY
I came to this anime looking for historical plot, and i dont regret it , is really good, the only odd thing is the art, because it is not the one we are used to see, but the story is so good, and it complement itself very well.
So if you are looking for an anime serie that addresses Japanese History from an awkard high school student time traveler point of view, this is for you.
This serie has: time traveler (and MC that is not the only one who is a time traveler), a role reversal political plot , historical characters, and I repeat the art is kind of odd but beautiful at the same time.
I hope they do a 2nd season to see all the development of the Nobunaga era.

I don't understand why this Anime isn't popular.
I just found it and finished it today and I really love it!
At first, I was like, "Okay another time travel", I thought it will be like Thermae Romae but I enjoyed this way more. The animation is a little unusual from the other Animes but hell yeah I got indulged from the first episode till the last. The characters are well made especially the main protagonist, he is so entertaining actually each of them has their own appeal. Every episode is so enjoyable, no boring moments and the OST is on fire!
I saw the Live-Action adaptation series and movie and I might say it is great. Shun Oguri is a great actor and he portrayed it really well however Kentaro Ito resembles Subaro more hehe. The first time I saw Subaro, I thought of Kentaro Ito. It m…

I am a bit of a history nerd. It is a shame that anime based on history that are somewhat accurate are far and few between. This is one of those rare gems. The attention to detail and historical accuracy is incredbile. The small details such as Nobunaga not wearing a hakama early on the series is a direct reference to Ota Gyuichi's account on Nobunaga's early life. As well as the addition of Yasuke as a character was a pleasant surprise.
This anime desperately needs a second season as the story is incomplete. I am very curious to see how they will depict the Nobunaga's death and some Nobunaga's later wars such as his war against Ishiyama Honganji and the Takeda at the Battle of Nagashino.
This anime blends the court politics and themes of the sengoku jidai in a highly entertaing fashion…

Looking back at this show in 2020, it's still amazing.
It's a real judge the book by its cover with this anime, because the animation may be an incentive for some to drop it, but it really shouldn't be dropped just because of it. Nobunaga Concerto, in my opinion, is an amazing hidden gem, because of the excellent story telling, the quirky jokes they make from time to time, and of course, the absolutely well done ED theme. It's definitely highly recommended to watch this, especially when you feel lost with all the endless new shows flooding you.
An overall 10, just because of how unique and interesting this show is.

Absolutely insane how underrated this is. I understand the art style isn't for everyone but if you're one of the few people who value story and characters more than visual, this is a must watch.
Absolutely awestruck by how beautiful this was.
The story is not too rushed nor too long to be bored of. Hits the mark right on spot in between.
The characters have excellent development and you actually start to care about them very quickly.
The sound direction was incredible, there wasn't a moment in between when it felt bland. The ED was beautiful and really brought out the emotions after every episode.
I'd say it's definitely worth a watch.

The Kind of anime you watch when you've watched every anime on the planet.
Are you after something new? refreshing? devoid of the stagnant/poorly-written/typical romance and angsty protagonist tropes? Nobunaga is exactly what you're after!
Its a story about an easy-going high school student, Saburo who slips through time all the way back to the Warring State Period of Feudal Japan. Mistaken for Nobunaga, Saburo finds himself as the new head of the Oda Clan fighting wars, sieging castles and going on romantic dates.
Saburo is a lovable goof who's constantly in his own world. He's calm, collected and takes on his new responsibilities with a good heart and humour.
The characters are good, the plot is interesting, the pacing is perfect, the animation cringey only at first and the endings…

Giving this show straight 10s in all aspects. In all honesty,stories based on historical facts need to be made in this manner. And I strongly wish more of such stories are produced in the future too.
Story: This show is based on the life of Oda Nobunaga and you all can guess from the title. The first thing that caught my attention when I started watching this show was how much close to historical facts this show was. Though the story starts with a guy accidentally time traveling to the Sengoku (Warring States) period, everything from that point on is purely about happening in the past and not some wired mix of modern times with that era and such. The story telling is very focused, showing Saburo's growth into the legend that is Nobunaga in Japanese history. All war tactics are very intere…

This is a masterpiece among historical animes, I really enjoyed myself watching this series. The story does somewhat accurately follow the historical being in reality in a nice manner, the music in this is also beautiful.
All the characters developed outstandingly well to their environment and to all that has happened. But every character stayed faithful to their introduction from the beginning.
My overall Enjoyment for this anime was more than I expected and I will give it a 9 overall if it wasn't for the unique animation style they had.
Please try it out without judging it by its animation style, it is quite unique!

To be honest, I almost dropped that show after the first episode. Why? I guess most of you who at least watched the first episode, or maybe have seen a trailer or two will know why: The animation. A lot of people will say now that „art and animation aren't everything that make a good show“, and sure you're absolutely right. Actually, I think so too. However, at first glance the animation as well as art of Nobunaga Concerto were a valid reason for me to almost drop it, since I didn't think I could stand it for 10 episodes. Well, I'm glad I didn't, since this turned out to be a freaking amazing show. To cut a long story short, here is my review.
Story: The story focuses, who would've guessed it, on good old Oda Nobunaga. However, it's not th…

INTRO: Nobunaga concerto is one of those animes that doesn't get noticed by the general public, mainly for its hard to get used to artstyle and its history centric plotline. The way the story is framed is very odd, it has such an anime kind of buildup in the first episode and then has it be a history piece for the rest of the episodes.
ARTSTYLE: While the main problem everyone I've noticed had with it was the artstyle, I personally found it amazing, enthralling, like ping pong the animation. It's not the average artstyle, it's not too weird, it can still be identified as an anime at first glance, it still has cool expressions on the characters and didn't draw me away from the story.
BACKGROUNDS AND ANIMATION: The backgrounds are also particularly beautiful in the way they are done, it…

Nobunaga Concerto - truly an epic blast which deserves more attention.
Nobunaga Concerto is a forgotten anime. When people read the words "Nobunaga" they are generally put off from even touching this anime due to the endless amounts of disappointing and predictable anime which have tarnished the name. However, even if you do manage to give this anime a chance, you will be frustrated by the unique looking art. Some may say the art is absolutely horrible but I beg to differ - it begins to grow on you and it is but a minor blemish to this epic series.
First off, Nobunaga Concerto is an Adventure anime with a twist - you follow the life of Saburo and his attempt to live the life of the legendary Japanese warlord, Oda Nobunaga. That being said - it can hardly be classified as an action anime,…

As said by many already, this anime was the hidden gem of the season. While, as it seems, the art style was a big reason for many to not watch it, I found it quite fresh and that was certainly one of the biggest selling points for me. In fact, I only started watching this anime because of how the cover seemed out of place amongst so many animes looking the same.
That being enough deviation from the main subject, the take on the storytelling is brilliant - no cliches, no harems, no love triangles, it's all about Oda Nobunaga and his quest to unite all of Japan. The sound is absolutely amazing too (listening to the ED as I write this), making you cry at times - from sadness and happiness alike. Character development is subtle yet clear, you might even end up cheering for the once-disgusting…

It is truly an underrated anime this year even though the story were told impressively and was written amazingly. The art, yes, it was the very reason of why people including me wanted to just drop the series or even delete it from our anime list. Anyhow, i gave it a try and i'm very glad to the core of my heart that i've decided to watch the anime. Okay, enough talking and let's go to the point on why you need to watch this anime!
Story - 10
I can see that many people was so bored of this Nobunaga stuff but please, make this exceptional. Yes, the synopsis speaks the truth but don't bother about it because i know you guys might gonna think that it was rather cliched when the fact that this is about time slip but just no, ignore it. Nevertheless, it sho…

Nobunaga Concerto, this anime is probably the most underrated anime this season, perhaps even this year. The reason why? The art. I'll be honest, I am one of those shallow people who judge the book by its cover, or in this case, one who judges anime by the art. If it wasn't for the suggestion of a friend, I wouldn't probably watch it, much less read the synopsis. I told him that I do not like the art, but he kept on insisting that I watch it, so I did, just to keep him off my back, and, oh god, I am so glad I watched it. The story was great, the sounds were amazing, the characters were fun and lovable, and somehow, the art fitted in. Like in One Piece, the art was, well, not so good, but it fits in well with the quirky characters and mood. Well, since this isn't a One Piece review, I'll go…
