History Anime / NobunagaTheFool

[[UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc Jeanne]] [[MultiethnicName Kaguya]] [[JeanneDArchetype d'Arc]], a girl originating from the Western Planet, bore witness to visions of a "Star Messiah," who would be the one save the worlds. Together with Creator/LeonardoDaVinci, a man claimed to be "the one who observes the world", Jeanne embarks on a quest to the Eastern Planet. It isn't long before the two come across an Eastern heretic known as "the Greatest Fool of the Day": UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga, who winds up on the helm of an [[HumongousMecha immensely powerful superweapon]]--one which can only be controlled by the legendary Savior King.

* MultiethnicName: For some reason, Jeanne, a girl of Western origin, beares a name that includes the distinctly Eastern-sounding Kaguya.

Imagine a SteamPunk SpaceOpera version of the sixteenth century, complete with HumongousMecha, spaceships, revamped historical figures, and SchizoTech galore. Now throw in a prophecy involving a "Savior King" who is the only one who can pilot a special HumongousMecha. Now make that man an [[HistoricalBeautyUpdate incredibly attractive]] alternate version of UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga. That is ''Nobunaga The Fool,'' a stage play and anime created by Creator/ShojiKawamori of ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' fame. The anime, animated by Creator/{{Satelight}}, began in [[Winter2014Anime January of 2014]].

* AnachronismStew: It certainly seems that way with UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga, JoanOfArc, and Creator/LeonardoDaVinci all existing together, considering their RealLife counterparts were never alive at the same time.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: LeonardoDaVinci. He goes around with a horn around his chest which he uses as a megaphone, immediately steals a ship when Jeanne has a vision that they needed to leave, and in general acts in an over-the-top manner. However, he obviously has a lot of pull in the Western Planet, name dropping King Arthur and warranting escort by an Admiral on the mission to the Eastern Planet.

* MagiTech: The Western Star has spaceships that fly via Leylines.

* [[AristicLicencePhysics Artistic License Astrophysics]]--Presumably, the only reason the Eastern and Western planets haven't ripped each other apart via gravitational forces is RuleOfCool. (And possibly [[AWizardDidIt a wizard]].)
