Azuchi Castle @ the Ise ANIME SERIES MINOR NOTE

Although I have a lot of series, for the sake of time I had to leave some out („cause the ones I have give me more than enough material for 3 hrs.)

These recommendations are based purely on their depiction of the Sengoku era in some way, shape, or form. Do not take this as a list based off the popularity/notoriety of the show (whether it‟s good or not) However, I tots will have some recommendations

Also included are series that are set in the Sengoku era but are a more fantastical/mystical/supernatural version

5 reasons to watch this show… • Bro-ness • Gunz being put on • Definitive lack of physics (ep. 2-11:00-11:18) • Gundam samurai (00:07) • Awesomest get away vehicle EVAR • Orgasming (ep. 2-4:59)

WATCH IT!

• The mockery of physics & ultra bro-ness alone are enough to make this show unnecessarily awesome (even for the ladiez) >,< • Also, you have to do this show in sub or else you won‟t get why Date‟s so hilariously awesome • Otherwise, the dub’s pretty good but better in the 3rd game for PS3/

DESCRIPTION

Short description 15% historical representation of the Sengoku era & 85% artistic license/way too much acid Based off the popular videogame series i.e., popular in Japan (TV rating) Only for those who think their awesome enough to handle this Please do not do this series if you’re in love with physics or hate anything not absolutely 100% historically accurate When it came out/original run It’s a documentary, there is no original run just history (April 1, 2009 – June 17, 2009 & July 11, 2010 – September 26, 2010) Who made it Written by Yasuyuki Muto DESC.

Nope (but Sengoku Basara: Utage for the PS3 will never come over seas X/) Other info. In the 3rd game, the is effectively the end of the Sengoku period, &, if playing as Tokugawa Ieyasu along with the overall rivalry between Ieyasu & Mitsunari, basically is extremely close to what happened REMEMBER THAT SENRYU?

• Nakanu nara, koroshite shimae, hototogisu (If the cuckoo does not sing, kill it.)~Oda Nobunaga • Nakanu nara, nakasete miyou, hototogisu (If the cuckoo does not sing, coax it.)~Hideyoshi Toyotomi • Nakanu nara, naku made matou, hototogisu (If the cuckoo does not sing, wait for it.)~Ieyasu Tokugawa

This is executed surprisingly well in this series (of all series) Honestly, probably one of the most “factually accurate” (as far as certain events, relationships, & characters’ personalities) sengoku era based anime out there considering the over the top nature…wtf NOW FOR SOME LOLZ Let me also mention this is the first Sengoku era anime I ever saw where I was aware of the time period (not counting MoB & SDK) GOTTA LOVE THOSE WEAPONS ^.^ SURPRISE~!!
