Overall Rating 6.8 out of 10 - A rather unique take on isekai that works in its own way.
I recommend watching.
This is a show about what will happen if three WoW Raiding guild members would be isekaied into the world where they can conquer stuff.
Technically they are renown historical figures of our world, that were transported to another one to help them fight a war over their own issues. The pick of historical personalities could not have been better, one of them is Oda Nobunaga and two others are less known personalities of Sengoku Jidai and Minamoto Taira conflict. Later you also get to meet Hannibal Barka, Jean d'Ark, Rasputin and even Jesus himself as an antagonist.
All of these personalities are twisted in their own way, yet at the same time they somewhat reflect their historical inspirations. Oda is lecherous towards women, but also smart to figure out how to manufacture gunpowder. Shimazu is brutal and single-mindedly focused on conquest and killing.
Story revolves around conflict between two sides of the world, one is called Drifters and the other Ends. They have different vision for the future of their world, and each takes famous historical personalities from our history to fight for their cause. Drifters are protagonists and Ends are antagonists.
Art is rather unconventional for anime, but well done with attention to details. You can clearly see the creators laved this show. Whether you will love it or not will depend on your own tastes.
Overall, I do recommend watching it. It's clearly better than average and it's worth it to at least try. No feminism here.
Drifters OVA
Drifters OVA is more of a partial season 2 rather than a standalone story. The three episodes released so far only build up to the future conflict. You can see that it can develop into something awesome but so far there is too little to write about.
