Nobunaga's Ambition (信長の野望, Nobunaga no Yabō) is a turn-based strategy video game series first released in Japan in 1983. It is a series of loosely adapted historical simulations produced by the Japanese video game developer Koei. It features a predominately Japanese voice track though English dubs appear during movie cutscenes. It debuted before Romance of the Three Kingdoms but isn't localized as often.

March 30, 2013 marks the series's 30th year anniversary. There are several events and miniature campaigns taking place to celebrate it, many of which are located for easy viewing on its special website.

Overview

Nobunaga's Ambition takes place during the Japanese Warring States period. As the title suggests, the player is tasked with achieving Oda Nobunaga's ultimate goal: the conquest and unification of Japan. Selecting Nobunaga is optional, however, as the player is can choose from a variety of other regional daimyo of the time. Available daimyo changes based on historical scenario the players selects to play.

The game plays in a similar manner as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series but has a few distinguishing differences. Unlike the former, the imperial court plays a greater role in deciding the damiyos' fate. If the court favors them, players have the option to name someone an enemy of the state, call a ceasefire, or promote their rank.

Players can also raise and train ninja to guard a damiyo's envoy. Since the main map doesn't display the statistics for each general, ninja are used to spy on the enemy and report information on their progress. They can additionally reduce the order of their enemies' lands and disrupt relations between two other regional lords. Asking an officer to defect is a greater gamble than Romance of the Three Kingdoms as the player's envoys risk getting captured by the enemy and may face death if they can't escape. Employing officers may require a monetary fee for their services. Players can nominate their clan's Four Guardian Kings, arrange marriages, or choose to retire the clan's head and pass their leadership to another general.

Battles take place in real time in recent titles within the series. Armies fight in a secluded area and are given the objective to defeat, siege, or defend. Storehouses and other fortifications can be taken to fortify the player's food supply. Officers can continue to use skills but performing them doesn't always pause the action on the field. The goal is to either fulfill the objectives given or end the battle within a set time limit. If neither side achieves victory, the battle is declared a draw. Iron Triangle continues the real time element but has battles take place on the overworld map, visually resembling the 3D map layout in Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI.

The newest title, Tendou, includes options to reshape the landscape surrounding the player's cities and 'what if?' versions of certain characters. These versions play on theories and famous fictional interpretations known in Japan such as a female Kenshin and the Kagemusha Ieyasu.

Recently, games have added Western settlers and various fictional figures who were said to be active during the time such as the Sanada Ten Braves. Other guest characters from past installments include figures from the Aynu culture, a few of the Forty-seven Ronin, Mongols from Genghis Khan's time, and figures from the Bakumatsu. Romance of the Three Kingdoms characters routinely crossover in select games. The online MMORPG includes occult encounters, gods, and several mythological beasts, one of which includes the snake beast, Yamata no Orochi.

PLOT

Fuu is a young girl working in a small tea shop. One day she is harassed by a group of samurai customers, and, as she is about to be tortured by them, she is saved by a traveling warrior named Mugen and a ronin named Jin. Upon seeing Jin's skill, Mugen decides to fight him as well and the two accidentally kill the magistrate's son in the fray.

Mugen and Jin are sentenced to death for their accidental murder, but they manage to escape last minute with the help of Fuu. In return for helping them, Fuu makes the two agree to help her with her goal: she seeks to travel and find the samurai that smells of sunflowers, a vague enough description to make the two warriors reluctantly agree.

The story then follows these three new companions as they travel Japan in search of Fuu's flowery samurai. Like any good story though, many unexpected things happen along the way testing their new friendship and their individual skills, as well as bringing to light some dark things from each of their pasts.

SETTING

The setting for this one is different to say the least. The easiest way to describe it is during the Edo period in Japan, but as this spans hundreds of years, it is hard to say what exact time period this is because historical events take place during the show that took place during the 1600s, but then other things are in place that contradict this such as the U.S. already being a nation. So let's just leave it as the Edo period in Japan. In short it's got a historical setting.

The anime shows many interesting places along the course of the journey, one of my favorite parts of the show. Many Japanese cities and towns are shown along the way, and it's interesting seeing some of the same places you know about from real life or other modern-day animes, but in a historic setting. Seeing the way of everyday life during this time period is also very amusing, especially some of the night life. I also love the plethora of outdoor scenes and beautiful scenery that the series features across practically the whole show from start to finish.

CHARACTERS

This is a series that is told episodically for the most part, and because of which there are very few recurring characters, but rather side characters that are important for only one to two episodes. This is ok though because it is these side characters that build up amazing character for our main trio in a show such as this.

Mugen

Mugen is a traveling warrior at the beginning of the series that stumbles upon Fuu at a tea house and helps to save her. I suppose he is technically a samurai, but he fights much more free style, almost to the point where he break dances during combat, most likely because of the heavy hip-hop influence across the entirety of the series. His fighting style is sloppy but dangerous because of how unpredictable it is. Unlike the traditional samurai who relies solely on sword skill for the most part, Mugen incorporates other parts of his body into his fighting pretty often, especially his legs. While 'break dancing', Mugen often uses his legs to kick and he also uses his sandals as a shield so repetitively that it actually becomes too much.

Mugen is a very fun character. He is rather laid back for a warrior, and he does not seem to have too much of a care for anything, that is except for women, eating and drinking, and finding the next tough opponent to pick a fight with. Mugen is not a gentleman in any way and comes off as rude most of the time because of it. He is the kind of guy that does and says what he wants when he wants regardless of the group. Deep down though he is actually quite caring, but he just doesn't show it much.

Jin

Jin is another traveling warrior at the start of the series who happens upon the tea house where he saves Fuu. He serves as Mugen's foil throughout the series and is the polar opposite of him in every way except that they are both highly skilled warriors and plan on killing one another eventually. In contrast to Mugen's fighting though, Jin comes off as an actually refined and skilled samurai, using real and rigorously practiced swordplay.

Also in contrast to Mugen, Jin is the quiet type. Jin rarely speaks unless spoken to, and when he does speak he keeps what he says to a minimum for the most part, and he also keeps his voice low. Jin is well-mannered, always shown kneeling or sitting properly when eating, always using the correct utensils (chopsticks), and fancily drinking tea. While also a ladies' man like Mugen, Jin comes off as more caring about a woman for who she is, in contrast to Mugen who judged solely on looks. Like Mugen though, Jin is somewhat conceited and will defend himself instead of women still.

Fuu

Ronin Samurai

Fuu is a young girl who initially serves tea in a tea house. After the incident with Mugen and Jin, she is forced to set out and forced the two to go with her on her journey. She longs to see the samurai that smells of sunflowers, she claims, so that she can sock him one. She is not very strong in her own right though and repeatedly relies on both Mugen and Jin whom she refers to and thinks of as her personal (useless) bodyguards.

Fuu is a very fun and down to Earth girl. She is not concerned about fighting like her two companions, and she would rather enjoy traveling and life. She has an even bigger appetite than her comrades, and she is often shown overeating to the point of becoming hysterically fat. She acts overly friendly towards everyone, often leading her to be taken advantage of, and yet she still remains kind. She travels with a pet squirrel named Momo that she keeps tucked in her kimono.

MY SHIPS

This is really really tough as there are two guys and one girl. So many times I ship Mugen x Fuu and so many times I ship Jin x Fuu... but I think I gotta go with Fuu x Mugen. Jin should have this one woman he meets along the way in one episode.

ART AND ANIMATION

The artwork for this one definitely isn't as bright and showy as some more recent series of late, but on the overall, especially for being a little bit older, I think the series looks great. From the character designs, to the amazing settings, and even more amazing scenery, I loved everything about the artwork, even if I am usually more of a fan of the newer brighter styles lately.

The animation I thought was a little bit choppy though. Flow induced vibration in pipes pdf. It wasn't distracting though and wasn't bad, just quick movements that look choppy in my opinion. On the overall I wouldn't say it is bad but it's not something I would praise either. But hey it's also getting a little bit older now so it's pretty cool that there are some scenes that still look really good too.

MUSIC AND SOUND

This soundtrack is very different to say the least. While it does feature regular music, it also has a lot of hip hop sounding tracks which is what very much sets the tone and feel of the show. This isn't bad, but it's not really my style either. I know this soundtrack is highly praised by others who are fans of this style though so I will leave it as this not being my style of music I would go for, at least not in a soundtrack.

As for sound this one makes use of some hip hop sounds as well. The main way is that utilize the sound of a dj spinning a record pretty often which is used for both transitions of scenes as well as clever censoring of vulgar words. It also features some cool beat boxing style raps, out of place for the time period, but completely in style for the show.

The opening song is called 'Battlecry' by Nujabes and Shing02 and spans the entirety of the series. It focuses on the main three with a hip hop feel and a bit of English thrown in. This song is alright but the opening feels pretty cool.

The ending song for most of the episodes is called 'Song of Four Seasons' by Nujabes and Minmi. This ending has a focus on Fuu and her life. I like this song.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Samurai Champloo to me is an example of a masterpiece in terms of character development and sheer awesomeness but in the sense of keeping my full attention. The series was great but there is something about these episodic style series that tend to leave me distracted. While still great, few can pull off this style of storytelling as well as a series like Cowboy Bebop, although this story is close, not surprising since it is the same director. But although I did love this series, so far it is my least favorite of Watanabe's works that I have seen so far, my favorite of which being Kids on the Slope.

So trying to not sound hateful anymore, this show is awesome. There is something that this Watanabe fellow really does spectacularly with his use of characterization even though there are always very few characters. The series is also just a whole ton of fun, and even has some completely fun and irrelevant episodes right before the finale episodes. While I usually might not like these 'filler' episodes, these ones were very awesome, especially the hysterical baseball episode that had me crying from laughing, and at my own country nonetheless.

So if you're wondering if you should watch this one then my answer is a definite yes. Whether you will love it or not I couldn't know, but I think there is truly something here for everyone. Just don't go in expecting to take the whole thing too seriously and you will be good. And I guess same for the opposite, don't go in expecting a silly comedy either because this series can also get a little heavy.

And I just wanna add also that I disagree with the one complaint I've sometimes heard about this show which is that it's convulsion is lacking. I was wondering how they would tie this series up and actually I thought that they did a really good job with it. The ending to me felt real and I unrushed, as all of the series did as I thought that overall the show had excellent pacing.

Already like this anime?
