I only saw about three reviews of this anime in which the reviewers had only seen three or four episodes and judged the anime based upon that. Having now seen the entire series, I feel I should give some proper insight as to what this anime is actually about.At first I thought this series was going to be completely different from what it actually was - the first episode starts out with our main character, Nobunaga, a general from another universe, falling from her home world onto Earth. This event happens with every other general you'll see. As the episodes went on, the focus faded off of Nobunaga and instead focused on every single character in the series, each having their own story. I suppose Sengoku Collection's name makes sense - it's basically a collection of all of the generals' stories with no actual plot. You see hints of a "plot" in each episode, but for the most part there is none. Halfway through this anime I really wanted to drop it. I wanted to see more of the underlying plot rather than an OVA-esque anime with side stories being in every episode, but I stuck with it until the end. Story - 6/10. To put it simply, there was none. But I'm making my judgement off the side stories each of the generals had. Some were fun to watch while others were a yawn-fest. Art - 7/10. At times the art of the characters got a bit odd looking (probably due to the artist's laziness) but it was new, different from the usual art you'll see. I was pretty intrigued by the generals' hair, a lot of them had ombre-esque locks that were cool to stare at while the dialogue bored me.Sound - 8/10. I personally enjoyed the OP & ED of each season. The 2nd OP had to be my favorite - I'd leave that going on while I did other things because it was so catchy. The sound throughout the anime wasn't very memorable but the OP/ED made up for it. Not the most amazing ones you've ever heard, but catchy.Character - 7/10. The anime did a good job at portraying each of the generals' lives on Earth with their different personalities. Some are cliche but with over 12 girls to show, I suppose some generic ones had to be thrown in there. Enjoyment - 6/10. I was bored with some episodes, I'll admit. But some of the stories were cute and fun to watch. Some are not memorable at all but I'd say a good amount are still within my brain. Overall - 6/10. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good. If you think you'd enjoy watching a bunch of girls with their boobs hanging out (which reminds me, tons of fanservice in this anime. Literally every episode has some form of boobage showing), give this a go. At times I was wondering how long I was going to wait until an actual plot revealed itself, but halfway through the anime I accepted there really was none. Fun fact: Each of the generals' names are well-known historic characters.
