Nobunagun English Sub & Dub

About Nobunagun

Nobunagun (ノブナガン) arrives as an action anime by Bridge (2014), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: Shio Ogura, a seemingly normal Japanese high school learner, who, while visiting Taiwan on a school trip, is suddenly attacked by monsters. Agents known as "E-Gene Holders" from the government agency DOGOO also arrive, who wield weapons infused with the spirits of historical figures.

Next up: However in the midst of it all, Shio is revealed to also be an E-Gene Holder when the soul of Oda Nobunaga awakens after she tries to rescue a friend.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Shiori Mutou as Shio Ogura and Tatsuhisa Suzuki as Adam Muirhead. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Bridge, which means the visual identity of Nobunagun follows that studio's craft. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.2/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Shiori Mutou voicing Shio Ogura gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2014, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
