As this entire entry exists only over the span of a few minutes, there is only so much to review. This special is the prologue with respect to the rest of the Nobunaga no Shinobi series. The series itself focuses mostly on humor and character interactions in order to provide its atmosphere, which it accomplishes extremely successfully considering it brevity. This special, however, goes in a different, more serious direction and focuses more specifically on plot than the rest of this series. I think this is helpful in understanding the series, because the characters sort of existed without explanation initially, butit was also less enjoyable than the original series, almost straying from its original mantra or appeal. nnI give this special a (5/10). nnIt is nice to have the background information on the characters but the biggest flaw of the entire series is its brevity. I think it has the potential to be highly entertaining due to its wonderful characters and interactions but there just isn't much present to enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy it for five minutes once a week though. But then again, maybe its only good because its short, I guess the world may never know.
