18. The Ambition of Oda Nobuna
https://myanimelist.net/anime/11933/Oda_Nobuna_no_Yabou

The Ambition of Oda Nobuna is the greatest Sengoku genderswap I've seen. I suppose that's to be expected when a studio like Madhouse is behind it. However, when you consider some of the other shows in this genre (Sengoku Collection, Time Paradox, etc) it doesn't have the worlds greatest competition.

Yoshiharu Sagara finds himself in an alternate past where the warlords are cute girls. There he eventually comes to meet Oda Nobuna (a female Oda Nobunaga) and starts to work for her as basically a strategist (or by Oda's standards a money). Why a strategist? Well, he has a lot of knowledge of the events because he played in a video game. He's I believe supposed to be the replacement for Hideyoshi as that's one of the few major characters from the story that does not have an actual counterpart.

The show has a fairly large cast of characters and they range from a ninja loli Hachisuka Goemon who stutters when she speaks or Niwa Nagahide, Oda Nobuna's tactition who likes to rate things (she is like the embodiment of gamefaqs contests). But the most important ones are Sagara and Oda Nobuna. In general the entire cast has great interaction with Sagara as his half like realizing the girls are hot and half actually wanting to help Oda Nobuna plays pretty well into things. But Oda Nobuna herself is where the show really shines. She's basically a more "kind-hearted" version of the real life counterpart. She's pretty much a tsundere but they do a good job at reflecting her interests, look, and background on the real thing. Honestly, she is almost captivating to watch sometimes.

As mentioned before the show was, at least in part, done by Madhouse. So the production quality is noticeably better than a lot of other shows that might be leaning on fan service. Oh, there is also fan service too, but I'll be honest and I can't even recall how much of it there actually was.

The only real downside of the anime is that it ends like in the middle. It only lightly touches upon some of the actual historical facts (like one of Sagara's main goals is to prevent Oda Nobuna from dying). It's too bad because future episodes would likely be even better.
