This was my favorite part of the series, I watched this part in ep9 with Japanese voices and I was bored, with Brittney Karbowski voice I had to rewind it a few times. Brittney Karbowski makes Yoshino cute and adorable.
After viewing the first few episodes, I think I’m ready to give up on this series. Reminds me too much of Koihime Muso and that genre isn’t exactly my cup of tea.
Normally, I wouldn’t post in a thread only to say this but I also wanted to comment on Brittney Karbowski’s voice for the show. She’s annoying as all hell but I’m saying this as a compliment. I don’t know how the main character sounds in the Japanese version, but she’s supposed to be an annoying brat raised in front of a computer / cell phone. I can’t stand those kind of kids in real life, so Brittney’s gets a big thumbs up from my part because she got on my nerves real good in a short period of time.

That’s what I been saying, I can listen to her complain all day!
Also Unlike Koihime Muso I found very little fan-service, its not even enough to call it fan-service.
I agree with y’all on Karbowski’s role in this. It’s the “archetype” that IMO she’s perfect for. I actually don’t think that Shelley Calene Black fits her character in this, which is odd.
Thought would it have been too much for the creators of this show to make this show more historical and less fiction, in the vein of Samurai Champloo? I’d like to see swordplay, not cheesy sorcery. What’s the point of establishing the time travel premise if they’re going to disregard it in order to show Nobunaga as a female knockoff of Orphen?
Could we please have more than one semi-modern historical fiction anime where the swordsmen actually engage in bona fide swordplay?
