Nobunaga Concerto 01

A pleasant surprise - this seems different from all the other Nobunaga anime of late.Having a modern-day teenager travel back in time isn't unheard of, regardless of the medium. However, I haven't seen any decent anime with time-travel back to the Sengoku period ... yet. Oda Nobuna no Yabou was unimpressive, to say the least.

At the very least, this series seems ... somewhat believable. The main character is a little too easy to adapt to his situation, but the reactions of the historical cast are acceptable. Better yet, there isn't a lot of fan-service. In fact, the only girl we see so far is Kichou, Nobunaga's wife-to-be. And it seems she has some backbone, after threatening her kidnappers with the mosquito spray she got from Nobunaga.
This spray can kill!
On the flip side, there's CGI... I'm not sure how I feel about that. A show like Sidonia no Kishi proves that CGI can work alright, but that being said, CGI has its flaws. Although I didn't like Nobunaga Concerto's CGI at first, it's somewhat bearable and not entirely bad.

All in all, I'm excited to see more conflict and politicking. This series shows promise, definitely worth a watch. Hopefully it'll live up to expectations.

The Good
- No fan-service
- Serious plot, believable cast

The Bad
- CGI
