Nobunaga the Fool - New Kawamori project

[Tochiro]

So far it feels like an Escaowne/Gundam hybrid, which isn't a bad thing. Am not a fan of the main mecha design though.

It reminded me of Escaflowne too, I liked the first episode so I'll keep watching.

As for the mechas, I agree that the main one doesn't look that great, but apparently it will have an armor and the other mechas look awesome in my opinion, here's a scan with more of the mechas:

I liked the first episode but I felt like Escaflowne had sex with Frontier and spit out the fool

That's kind of the way I felt too.

Although I'm not sure this plan to pass Jeanne off as a man will work for any length of time. What are they going to do? Wrap her chest? I don't think that would work very well.

And was it just me, or did the end of episode 2 seem to imply that Nobunaga and Ichihime are "that way?"

Yeah, I was thinking that too! Maybe Kawamor, always aware of the times we are in, i is looking at the success of "imouto" manga and anime and capitalizing on it?

Is it bad in my head I picture Mr. T saying that?

[Marzan]

Last ep was pretty decent I thought. The Tenjin War Armour was one good looking mecha. Kawamori hasn't lost his touch.

[Marzan]

The last ep couldn't hide Kawamori's Macross background. A love triangle brewing, singing and a very large and transcendent mecha.

[Twoducks]

So is this a solid show or just to see Kawamori robot porn in action?

[technoblue]

It is a promising alternate universe, mythological narrative. I'm enjoying it so far.

And the mecha do remind me of Escaflowne as well. That's a very good thing!

Are they going for a love quadrangle here? At least the end of episode two made it seem, to me, that Nobunaga and Ichihime were "that way." Also, that betrothal was some kinda psychedelic, huh?

[electric indigo]

This one made it into Bandai's kit pipeline.

[slaginpit]

to me the show is a little meh. Predictable and a little bland. The animation is starting to stale as well. .

So have the names of the mecha been revealed?

The main mecha is named "The Fool", the red one that looks like a samurai is "Furin Kazan" and the white one that belongs to Caesar is "Quo Badis".

There are a couple more that haven't been shown I think.

[EXO]

"Quo Vadis" it's latin for Where are you going? Also a movie.

"Quo Vadis" it's latin for Where are you going? Also a movie.

Which is turn based on the novel of the same name by Henryk Sienkiewicz. A pretty good read too.

[RedWolf]

I just had freaking realization.

Oda Nobunaga in Nobunaga The Fool (made by Kawamori) is either admired for his character or misunderstood for his eccentricities. The main heroine slowly falls in love and is tsundere about it but is convinced he is the savior...

My goodness Nobunaga is a warrior version of Basara from Macross 7!
