Oda Cinnamon Nobunaga

To start off, its a fun anime! Its light hearted, cute as hell, and its an anime to definitely relax to.

The premise is basically warlords from feudal Japan that have long since been deceased have been reborn into a variety of animals. But mostly dogs.

All of them have long since settled into their new lives well considering they all have owners who spoil them to one degree or the other. And considering how rough their old lives could be its no wonder they fell into this one so well!

Consider having a harem of 20 and all the drama that comes with it! And also ... the war, can't forget the war.

Its a fun anime, nothing serious in the lightest, and it honestly didn't teach me that much in the long run. Its just a warm slice of life that can make you feel a bit better after a bad day. And me being me I needed this many many a time!

Plus the after credit endings include actual dogs! PUPPERS!!! Its really cute so I'd advise on either skipping the credits (which...at least watch it once bc those RL dogs are in it) or enjoying the credits with the end scene.

5 - There was something you enjoyed. Still a bit forgettable, but not a waste of time.


It's a cute dog anime with ok comedy in it. Pretty much it? The drawback on this is that the jokes weren't great. I don't remember one time I really laughed. It's adorable, and nice to watch.

But it's not hillarious, and for a comedy anime that really hurts. Firstly, it's hard for a comedy anime to be great in my opinion. The jokes and situations have to be really out there- especially in a 12 episode series. It has to come out hitting from episode 1, and it doesn't.

I ... do enjoy and appreciate the idea behind this anime. It's interesting. It's easy to explain. And man, the ED to this anime is AMAZING. It's so cute watching the real life version of the anime dogs just playing around, running.

But that's the extent to this anime- it's cute. That's about it. I can't really see in which situation I'd want to watch this. Lazy sunday? It would have to be dubbed for me to watch on a lazy Sunday. Probably background anime while I'm doing something else such as gaming or scrolling through social media.

This anime was ok. I don't regret watching it. Just don't see myself thinking back on this.

Oh my, it only took me one episode to decide that this was not worth sticking around! Look, I came here because I thought the idea was cool, the feared Nobunaga reincarnated as a dog. It looked like it would be a fine comedy and I could learn a little bit more about the history of Japan. But......the first 10 minutes of the episode already threw me off enough to completely drop out and even encouraged me to write one of the few reviews I had. First, the thing that bothered me the most of the way the first episode, just the first one, was ... handled. The episode looked like it was written by a ten year old and I'm not exaggerating to make a point. So if you familiar the with the plot, the episode basically does it the easiest way possible and that's it. What I mean with this is that you see Nobunaga about to commit suicide like history was told and the next scene, there he is. Yeah, the dog. Everything about this transition was just so, so wrong I'm even having trouble putting into words, but what you see is basically, after the death of the character, the next moment of the anime shows him as the titular dog already fully grown (I'd say a dog 3-5 years old) and not only that, but his mindset is almost like he remembered his life as Nobunaga from a few minutes ago. You don't see the dog growing up, you don't see him remembering little by little about his previous life. He suggest as a punchline, before dying, that after all that he's done, he may as well be reborn as a dog, and the next minute hes already in the body of a grown dog, with memories fresh like it happened yesterday and for some bizarre reason, his owner appears right after, and he reacts like a lot of domesticated dogs would react, but now that he's realizing the way he react is that of a dog. Makes me wonder, what the hell happened here? Did he just now realized that he had a previous life as a human being and even though he tries, he cannot deny his animal instincts?!?! This was so poorly done that only after seeing people can fully comprehend. That was the first major issue I had with the show which made me realize this would be as lazy as it could get; The second one is a little more complicated but I'll try to explain. The way this reincarnated Nobunaga talks in his mind does not suggest at all that of a leader would even if this leader was a goofy one. He talks and acts in his own head like a teenager who suddenly became an adult and not only that, but an influential adult in feudal Japan and he's more concerned with his self-image as Nobunaga than with the actions that Nobunaga took that made him what he was. It doesn't speak "grown mature man" to me at all, it only contributes to make the first minutes of this show look a lot more like a four panel comic joke rather than a story and despite the fact that I wanted to see where this was heading, those things alone made me sure that this wasn't well-thought at all, it didn't bother even with the most basic details and it couldn't even pass a slapstick comedy, much less a anime.
