Synopsis

Sengoku Collection revolves around many samurai who are accidentally removed from a parallel universe inhabited by well-known historic characters. Unlike the historical war period known to us, all inhabitants in this unique world look like high school girls. Coming from the medieval era and finding themselves totally amazed by everything they encounter in modern day Tokyo, the girls become best friends through their adventures. (Source: Crunchyroll)

Audience Consensus

Audience reception is mixed. Many find the show mediocre due to its lack of a strong central plot, inconsistent animation, and reliance on niche parodies. However, some appreciate the episodic slice-of-life format and the diverse cast of characters, finding enjoyment in specific episodes and the voice acting performances.

Strengths

  • Some episodes are considered jewels with good creativity.
  • Music is diverse and fitting to different episodes and parodies.
  • Voice acting is praised, especially for certain characters like Oda Nobunaga, Masamune Date, and Mitsuhide Akechi.

Weaknesses

  • Inconsistent and low-tier animation quality, with character designs clashing with backgrounds.
  • Episodic nature leads to a lack of overarching plot and shallow character development for many characters.
  • Parodies are often Japanese-related, making them inaccessible to the average English viewer.
  • Inconsistent episode quality, with some episodes being boring or awful.
  • Weak execution of the premise, failing to fully explore the potential of Sengoku girls in the modern day.
