History Anime / TonoToIssho

* ShoutOut: Kenshin's character Bishaemon is such a blatant rip-off of {{Doraemon}} they have to pixellate everything. Masamune's ''Guntain'' anime is a parody of ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'', the Shimazu brothers are a reference to ''PowerRangers'', and part of Keiji's episode mimicks ''Anime/HeidiGirlOfTheAlps''.

* FreezeFrameBonus: Most of the characters have ridiculous slogans hanging on their walls which tend to change throughout the scene.

* HeroicBSOD: Masamune has one every time someone insults one of his eyepatches, which turns his face into that of an ugly old man.

** InstantFanclub: Motochina has 90% of the population in his fanclub.

* JapaneseDelinquents: Maeda Keiji who, as the narrator likes to remind us, would be considered one nowadays. Which also means that he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who rescues stray kittens.

* CastingGag: This is not the first time {{Creator/Gackt}} has played UesugiKenshin. He already played Kenshin in an NHK live action JidaiGeki drama ''Fuurin Kazan''.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: [[{{Moe}} Motochika]], to the extent that he's voiced by MamikoNoto and his retainers refuse to accept he's a boy, making him wear a miniskirt and fantasising about marrying him.

* AxCrazy: Everyone from the Oda clan. Also Komatsu and quite possibly Naoe Kanetsugu.

* TheComicallySerious: Most of the main characters just don't realise how insane most of the stuff coming out of their mouths sounds, and remain completely stone-faced.

* BearsAreBadNews: Azai Nagamasa fears that Nobunaga will send a bear in place of his sister Oichi as a wife. He then imagines Oichi as a dominatrix in charge of a bear army.

Each episode follows the exploits of a famous Sengoku period personage -- such as DateMasamune, UesugiKenshin, or OdaNobunaga -- as they go about their daily business, drawing inspiration from both historical facts and popular legends. However, it being a parody and all, {{flanderisation}} kicks in and transforms the main characters into a bunch of nutjobs, morons, psychopaths, crossdressers and otakus, whose eccentric behaviour causes their long-suffering retainers and relatives no end of stress.

->''It is the Sengoku period, and there are heroes abound. A period of war, conspiracy, scheming and love. There were many complicated issues in the Sengoku period; this story is about the ups and downs in the lives of heroes who lived during these turbulent times.''
