A new year, a new anime season, a new simulcast. Just started my new show, Nobunagun.

If you’re thinking, “That sounds like it’s probably about Oda Nobunaga’s soul being turned into a semiautomatic machine gun”… yep, that’s pretty much right! But wait, there’s more: it’s also about Oda Nobunaga teaming up with Gandhi and Jack the Ripper to save planet Earth. No joke.

I’m finding it restful after some recent intense projects—it’s nice to kick back and do a little zaniness for a change.

Episode 1 is up now at http://www.funimation.com/shows/nobunagun/anime, with launches on third-party vendor sites to follow. (Note: FUNimation’s version is different from Crunchyroll’s version, so you’ll get a version by a different translator on that site. If you watch via third-party vendors like Hulu, iTunes, etc., those will carry the FUNimation version.)
