Nobunaga the Fool Ep 1: In a strange telling of how the east and the west are actually two different planets and they both have advanced weaponry. Nobunaga is a carefree person who has a first hand experience in a real war. He was filled with mixed feelings until a spaceship carried Joan of Arc and Leonardo Da Vinic crashed nearby. Joan has visions of her meeting Nobunaga claiming he will become the Savior of the world. He piloted a new mech with her and proclaimed he will face his destiny...
So we have historical characters from different time lines coming together and somehow Nobunaga is going to change the world? The plot sounds familiar but this first episode was a mixed bag. Since they haven't really go in depth of how this world or universe operates. But it seems the entire west continent is ruled by King Arthur and the east is in the Sengoku Era. I already got a BL vibe since Nobunaga, Mitsuhide and Hideyoshi are bishouen and voiced by cool male seiyuus-Miyamo Mamoru, Takahiro Sakurai and Yuji Kanji. Joan is voiced by Hikasa Youko and it will probably take a few more episodes before she will shine as the female warrior we all know. Overall, an interesting start.
Nobunagun Ep 1: Ogura Sio keep having dreams of Nobunaga being stabbed by a mysterious masked person. When she is in Taiwan for a school trip, a giant monster attack the city and a man codenamed Jack the Ripper battle it. Sio tried to find a fellow classmate, Aoba and got caught in the battle. She held the sphere that Jack was holding and transformed to a gatling gun welding warrior codenamed Nobunaga...
Seriously is this year of Nobunaga? I mean, I know he play a really major part in Japan's unification history but do we really need to fantasise him in everything? Anyway it seem that the masked person is part of an organisation who extractrf DNA from different historical characters (Again!) and find their reincarnated self to activate it. Sio whose past life is Nobunaga held the sphere and having his personality in her. Furthermore, Nobunaga insisted that he want his future self to wield guns which is now the case. Can't say much about this show expect we have Gandhi and Newton who are appearing in the next episode-I wonder what their special powers are? Maybe Gandhi could talk people out of it by using Passive Resistance and Newton discussed the laws of gravity to death?
Noragami Ep 1: Yato is a god who has yet to achieve shrine god status and no one respect him. He used a familiar as a sacred treasure to defeat evil spirits but his familiar, Tomone left him after claiming he is poor. Later a schoolgirl, Hiyori saved Yato from a bus and could now sense spiritual activities. Furthermore, she is able to leave her body and even saved Yato again from a frog spirit. Yato explained that she is now a Phantom who can walk both the human world and spirit world...
Usually a god could do all sort of wonders but not Yato who has serious financial problems and he need a sacred treasure to battle any of the demons. Otherwise, he is pretty useless for a god. But seeing Hiyori is able to defend herself against the evil spirits could suggest that he will use her as a weapon in the future. However Hiyori just want to go back to normal and gave Yato a five yen coin (which is what you throw in a shrine and pray for luck in a Japanese temple) to restore her back. But I am guessing it is not going to happen sooner...
Tonari no Seki-kun Ep 1: Yokoi was distracted by Seki who sit next to her as he is trying to arrange a dominoes display with erasers. She tried to stop him but he keep doing it until she saw that the payload is a can of fireworks. However the can is a dud and Yokoi got reprimanded by the teacher who think she is playing afool and Seki has already cleaned his desk...
We have such people in our school life where we will be distracted by that one person sitting beside us who seem to be doing things out of the ordinary. But for Yokoi's case, Seki is pretty extreme and poor Yokoi got blamed for nothing in the end. I laughed several times at Yokoi's monologue voiced by the lovely Hanazawa Kana. If there is one grip is that the show is only seven minutes long and it is really not enough to fill my funny bones to the grip. Well, off to look for the manga!
