The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
With Matsunaga making his play the last time around, that’s providing for some challenges with Chidori having returned with him seemingly shifting sides. Matsunaga is definitely coming across in some fun ways, and Chidori’s adoration of the man to some degree and his castle is comical, but Nobunaga is pretty aware of what’s going on. At the same time, he is being flattered pretty well and it’s hard to not fall prey to it to some degree as Matsunaga is pretty good at it. It’s fun to see the way the various attendants work in coping with this, or falling sway themselves, and it just further cements what kind of chaos Matsunaga brings with his arrival.
In Summary:
From his introduction in the previous episode we knew that Matsunaga was definitely going to be someone that will shake things up. And boy does he when he gets to spend time with Nobunaga and the rest. There are a lot of quick hit and very fun small gags throughout here but it’s his moment at the end asking Chidori if she’s laid with a man yet that takes the cake with her response to it, and others, that could lead to some hilarity if they’re going to explore it any further. The show continues to be far too much fun and one of the best of the short form shows in handling the balance of it all.
