This series is set in Sengoku Period Japan where various lords battle to dominate the country. The protagonist is Yoshiharu Sagara, a teenager from Modern Japan, who has somehow found himself thrown back in time. He considers himself somewhat of an expert on the era as he plays the computer game 'Nobunaga's Ambition' which is set in the era. This isn't quite how he imagined the period though
Nobunaga has been replaced by a girl name Nobuna and a key character has died saving him for a start! He determines to use his knowledge of what should happen to help Nobuna defeat various enemies and unite the country.
The idea of throwing a teenager from modern day Japan into Feudal times where many key characters had been replaced by girls sounds rather original unless you've watched 'Battle Girls: Time Paradox' which did it a year earlier and quite a bit better. Sagara is a fairly annoying protagonist; there is no explanation as to why or how he has travelled back in time and nobody seems too bothered by his arrival; he doesn't even change his attire I dread to think what his school uniform must have smelled like after all his adventures! The rest of the cast are somewhat better; Oda Nobuna made a good female lead and those around her were entertaining; I'm not sure why they looked so young though; some of them looked as though they were meant to be about six years old! As one might expect there is a moderate amount of fan service; some of it a little peculiar one girl's breasts bounce even though she is wearing armour and a young nun has a habit that shows off her ample cleavage! While this is far from a must see series it does have its plus points; it is fairly funny at times and there is some decent action. Overall this passed the time well enough but wasn't as good as it could have been.
