Shoji Kawamori loves his love triangles

 

Ichihime is described as having a beautiful singing voice that can bring peace to people's hearts. AKA Sheryl...

 

So far it's been two episodes and it kinda feels like they haven't even begun to give us any details. They keep using all these terms we obviouly wont have context for and are acting like they are a big deal.
Other than that I like the neat historical nods like with Jeanne essentially being Joan of Arc and having to hide her true gender. Hopefully we will get a bit more world building in the next episode and eventually maybe some decent action since for a mecha anime it has had all of one actual fight scene involving mechs fighting each other.

 

Hiding her true gender is gonna be interesting with all that plot she has lol.

 

Judging from this episode and the OP, we still have to flesh out all the characters. I hope all the Knights of Round get their own personal mech in this one, unlike Code Geass. It's interesting how they made Julius Caesar a knight though.  

I don't even care if the plot is shit. I will keep watching for the ridiculous historical stuff, and awesome mecha action. That and PLOT of course.

 

All Super Robot MC's must have a epic ending phrase.
They also must have a epic entering the mecha phrase
oh, lookee here http://i.4cdn.org/m/src/1389544450926.jpg

 

You're forgetting the other Nobunaga (the one that battles with Newton, Ghandi and Jack The Ripper)

 

Didn't really think the Main Mecha would be called "The Fool" though. Personally I was hoping for it to be called The Joker or something.
Not sure if that image is supposed to highlight a namesake or reincarnation system. Maybe even a timeloop.

 

Considering all the tarot going on, the fool was the only choice.
Would you like to know more?

 

I wished the tarot theme would just stick to Da Vinci. It didn't sound right to me with Nobu saying the fool repeatedly.  

I like it, I see Shoji Kawamori also created Escaflowne which used the Tarot interestingly too and am looking forward to how it's gonna be used in the next episodes.

 

Banging his sister and piloting ZAFOOOOOL, this dude has it going on.

 

Nobunaga is like Ryouma Nagare + I don't know, the MC of YnS or something?

 

What am I watching? I still don't know (but the episode was a bit more straightforward than last week).
Imouto route unlocked? Maybe.
Stereo Dive Foundation ED? Sold.

 

Well, nobu may as well be getting another girl or two to join his party.  

It's those Naruto Waves I tell you.

 

still an amazing OST, one of my favorites this season.

 

I'm glad someone else acknowledged how fantastic the orchestration has been. It really is one of the best this season.

 

Aw yes, the love triangle, can't be Kawamori without it.
and now they've brought in hannibal and caeser. oh man how much of a cluster history will this become.
 

I feel like I'm watching a space opera, or like everything is a play with it's elaborate and bombastic dialogue. Or if Gundam said fuck reality and went full on fantasy.
Strange show, but I like it! That ED sounds pretty cool too.

For a show with Sengoku-era warlords and samurai, Julius Caesar, King Arthur, Joan of Arc, and giant robots, there has been remarkably little in the way of actual fight scenes so far.

Alright, so SpaceVinci built the super plot armor and it's not some ancient super artifact or anything? Did he make a built in Super-King main character detector into it? How the heck does it determine that the SaviorWhatever is using it?
Eh, I'm just not feelin' the mech as a whole. I don't really dig the design and Za Fuooluuu is a super goofy name. Actually super goofy is good, I love it, I just wanted it to be called Za Warudoo. Besides all the mech hate I liked it, I can't hate anything the goofy.

Were there allegations of incest between Nobunaga and his sister historically IRL?
I don't get why suddenly incest.
And why does King Arthur dress like Merlin?

 

Might actually be Merlin.
