Yoshimune
 

Based on a Pachinko-slot game made by DaitoGiken.Simple storyline about Yoshimune,a shogun who rules the Edo castle, punishing corrupted officials.He sometimes goes out of the castle in disguise to know more about the situation. Hiyama Nobuyuki as Yoshimune, Iwao Junko as Hime.(fun fact:the main/supporting characters have no names except Yoshimune.They're all like Hime,Chibi-Hime,Swordmaster,Kuno(female ninja is called Kunoichi)..etcs)

Features an edo+future fusion world where the main character rides around the Edo castle in a motorcycle(with a rather unique looking helmet) and the princess dances all night in the Edo Nightclub.

First impression: The anime is so adorable I have to watch it.

I'd give it a shot if I could find it.

Love the OP. :) This is really cute.

Can anyone look at the schedule that's posted at the official page and tell us when this might air? I assume it hasn’t as I can’t find it anywhere (or is it going straight to DVD?). Thanks for any help. Cheers. :)

this *is* airing. I have the first three episodes from chinese and raw sources. I think that it has aired regularly since first week of april

Ahh...I see. Thanks. At least I know it's airing. How's the show? Decent? Funny? Not good? Fair?

Thanks. Cheers. :)

I watched it up to episode 8,and I can say it's quite decent.It's about little/big incidents that happen around Yoshimune.I cannot say the stories are that creative,but quite entertaining to watch plus the characters are really cute :) (especially chibi-hime!!)

I'm making promises to myself to watch this at some point. the setting of the anime is historical and dark, and the characters on the other hand are all-out chibi and cute. it'll take a little time to get used to this concept, hehe.

Episode 13 of Yoshimune recently aired. Anyone with a good understanding of the first 13 episodes want to write up a small synopsis of the show thus far? High points, low points, major plots devices, etc.

Thanks.

oh my goddess this is so cute. I want to see. If only someone picks this up. :(

I've been wanting to pick this up since a person I know suggested it to me.
He even sent me the first ep's raw so I could check it out.

What I actually understood of it was hilarous.
That helmet looks cool, and chibi-hime... haha.
Too bad the guy hasn't had time to TL it though - busy with work and family it seems.
