The whole thing at the waterfall was too narmy. Nobunaga screaming while standing the strenght of the water, Jeanne crying at the pure manliness. This could have actually been a good scene, but the crying was too much, and O just dodn't feel Nobu's screaming, I don't know if it was the voice actor, or the rest of the scene pulling it down.
Now the love triangle is gone, Nobu get an opportunity to step up his game, and Jeanne learnt what it means to support your men. Himiko's death was to hamfisted, and it's intent so obvious. To not say only bad things, the funeral was good. To me, it was maybe the only moment so far that Nobunaga truly shone. And the torrent of cherry petals was perfect. For real, I can't stop myself from comparing this show to Gifuu Doudou. If only it had more righteousness. |

Another historical anecdote about Nobuhide's death:
"When his father lay mortally ill in Owari, Nobunaga asked the bonzes to pray for his life and asked them whether he would recover from his illness. They assured him that he would, but he died a few days later. Nobunaga then had the bonzes thrown into a temple with the doors locked from the outside; he told the bonzes that, as they had lied to him about the health of his father, they had better pray to their idols with greater devotion for their own lives. After surrounding them on the outside, he shot some of them to death with harquebuses." I think this shows that he cared in his own way for his father. By the way, Nobunaga's brother's name was Nobuyuki, but he was also known as Nobukatsu (at the time people had many names). It is confusing because Nobunaga had a son also called Nobukatsu. Anyway, Nobunaga's brother conspired against him, and Nobunaga had to kill him. |

Things are not looking good for Oda clan.
Nobunaga was grieving in his own unique way. Always such a rebel... If he continues like this he's gonna have an uprising on his hands. He's going to push everyone away with his behavior. Guess he's too macho to show his true feelings to anyone. The ending of the episode was a shocker! So much unnecessary loss..

The brother's death didn't surprise me in the least....but why even bother with Himiko if all she was going to be was more of a supporting character who dies off considering that she's in the OP?
This show went from crazy and ridiculous to plain ridiculous. Goddamn I can't STAND Nobu or Jeanne. I know the real Nobu wasn't exactly the best person ever(wasn't he the japanese version of Vlad the Impaler?) but this show makes him the BESTEST PERSON EVAH AND YOU SUCK IF U HAET HIM. Christ, if I want to see a show about a Gary Stu, I'll stick to Shonen Jump's messes. I'm done. Peace out.

Maybe he means Legend of Galactic Heroes?
For me it is the best anime ever! It has everything, great plot, deep characters (who are adults), interesting world. It was very entertaining. After a few episodes I was completely addicted, finished the entire series in less than two weeks (it has over 100 episodes). It's a space opera with an accent on politics and huge fleet battles. There were some memorable deaths. |

It's true that his being special isn't exactly coming off near as well as it could have i.e. I've seen much better renditions of that particular element in movies all of the time in English every second or third movie but... I'm still hoping it gets better because I'd rather it be good than bad. I was just in a bad mood when I wrote that post... sorry if I was harsh. |

common sense: if you are taking a shower with water that's too cold just step out... screaming about it won't make it better
if there was supposed to be any symbolism in that, i completely missed it because of how stupid it all played out. |

I think it got to more with him feeling guilty and pain at his father death more or less \. Well to me at least anyway. I really don't get the Nobunaga hate but whatever. This is a two course show so wait and see what happens
