I hope to one day learn the actual history of the Sengoku period so that I can compare it to the dozen anime versions I have experienced.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!

rear end in a top hat warlords wanted more land. some of them wanted all of the land. so they engaged in pointless, petty wars until one of them came out on top. a couple hundred years later they have all been whitewashed into virtuous, heroic ancestors. it's not exactly an unusual situation.

i like the sengoku basara version better.

Don't most media treat the three unifiers as total dicks? After the Meiji Restoration, the Tokugawa shogunate was not remembered fondly.

Depends entirely on the writer of the story. I've seen Oda Nobunaga portrayals running the entire spectrum from altruistic super-patriot unifying a shattered nation to literal demon. Ieyasu Tokugawa has been both a shrewd mastermind and a hapless buffoon based on the particular narrative.

Right, but I've never seen them portrayed without at least some acknowledgement of the horrific poo poo they got up to, even if it's framed as 'hard men making hard decisions'. Even Nobunaga the Fool, which framed him as a fairly conventional shonen hero, had him do some pretty bizarre and reprehensible things.

There are no "bad seasons", just seasons with fewer shows worth watching. I would say this season qualifies, but there's still a handful of neat shows here.

I'm watching: Bahamut, AoT, LWA, Re:Creators, MHA, Sakura Quest. And I would probably like Eccentric Family but I haven't watched the first season.

6 good-to-great shows are enough for me to consider a season pretty drat decent

Bahamut, Natsume, and Eccentric Family are all great, but they're also all sequels. It kind of makes the season feel lackluster when there's no great new series.

And potential great show of the season ID0 has vanished into netflix, so yeah.

Also remember that we're comparing this season to last season, which was honestly incredible.

I don't care about the first one, but those other 3 are definitely good ones. There are a few I didn't realize were getting animes as well, like Kakegurui and Hajimete no Gal.
