Nobunaga the Fool Review

Overall Rating 7.3 out of 10 - Better than good overall

I recommend watching.


This is chaotic but fun experience. It manages to seamlessly switch from downright silly to deep and insightful, psychological even, as well as everything in between. It does make sense most of the time and does not make you scream WTF. Neither does it try to preach some stupid ideology in your face or drown you in guilt and self-hating.

Story is disjoint at times and somewhat overloaded with details that never fully explained anywhere: Dragon Veins, Sacred Treasures, and so on. Show references them all the time, but it's never clear what Dragon Veins even do. However, for the most part story works, there are just few moments that cringe. Nature of different powers and abilities are never fully clarified, random power spikes mostly serve the to make plot more unpredictable.

Characters are colorful and charismatic. Nobunaga himself reminds me of one of my friends. So are Hideyoshi and possibly Leonardo and Akechi as well. It's like crew got together again. They show managed to have three rather different females in the cast with none of them annoying me. Relatively rare achievement for modern feminazism infested era, that shovels Asuka like characters everywhere.

Art is awesome, both stylistically and quality wise. Finally, they put that quality to good use, instead of making another Demon Slayer. Music fits the overall theme as well.

Overall, it's a very good show and I can recommend it to everyone.
