Sagara Yoshiharu woke up to find he hand been flung back in time to the Sengoku/Waring states period. Not only that, but because of the declining life rate, rules about women becoming Daimyo have changed, and he discovers that his favourite General, Oda Nobunaga, is in fact Oda Nobuna, a young girl who dreams of conquering Japan. When Yoshiharu finds out that he is meant to walk beside her and take the place of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he decides to use his future knowledge of events to help change history, and save her from danger.
(Anime: 1 season, 12 episodes, Finished)
All right, lets be fair, this is another of those anime series where all the Sengoku generals are girl, like we haven't seen that about a thousand times already. However, this series does stand out from the pack for several reasons. The first one being that they actually bother to come up with an excuse as to why they are girls (it doesn't just happen) and not every character is female, but some remain male to keep things fresh. And this series isn't all about fan service (not that there isn't any at all) - they actually have a decent story and a sensible plot that is enjoyable to watch and see it progress. The animation and artistry also stand out as being exceptional, offering a much greater level of entertainment for each episode. The characters aren't bad, although most of them are secondary character who only have a few lines per episode. The main character Yoshiharu is impressive, rather than the generic weak characters who usually find themselves in this situation. There is plenty of action, comedy, scenes of being bad-ass and even a little romance all the way through, so there is something for everybody in here.
So for anyone who is bored of generic Sengoku Harem stories, Or loves them and is looking to see another, then Oda Nobuna no Yabou is the best series for you.
Rating - 8/10
