Watched the first three episodes of Nobunaga the Fool and really liked what I saw. The Mecha in this show look really damn cool. The world itself is also pretty cool even though I´m kinda confused how exactly both planets work :lol

Build Fighters 08. Holy shit is that a Gurren Lagann Gundam? SHIT JUST GOT REAL.

This episode actually added an interesting dynamic to the action, which I hope the show uses more in the future. I know they aren't pilots in a traditional sense, but as the complicated mecha controls are gone in Gunpla battles that only means the fighters can project more of themselves through their Gundam. I really liked how Nils was able to utilise his martial arts upbringing in his fighting. I know that might seem sorta obvious, but I can't think of another mecha anime where the pilot utilised his own life skills directly in his fighting style.

As far as mecha animes go, I think The Fool is certainly one of the more unique ones out there.

It certainly is and I really appreciate this. Also you gotta love a show that has the balls to make Hideyoshi the comic relief character :lol

This might sound kinda...dumb? But err... if you don't know much about history beyond like the most basic of stuff, will that impact your enjoyment of Nobunaga The Fool?

Not at all since it doesnt play with history at least at the point where I am. The characters just have the names of the historical figures. If you know about history its fun to see how the characters were changed but its not a requirement to understand and follow the story :)

Certainly If you have Nobunaga/Warring states era fatigue it could. While the show does follow some historical events, it takes a lot of creative liberties with what they have to work with.

I think the strength of the show comes from the characters though and how well the dialogue is written. They share the names of the historical figures but that's about it.

Alright sweet, might give the first episode a go.

Nobunaga is riding a mech, I learned not to question things early on. :lol

Not at all.

It's basically a mecha anime version of ToQger I'm guessing :lol.
