Sentai Filmworks license The Ambition of Oda Nobuna for North America

We've had a bit of a breather since North American distributor Sentai Filmworks last unveiled a new license, but yesterday brought the announcement of a US release for a 2012 series landing on our proverbial doorstep.

The series in question is action comedy light novel adaptation The Ambition of Oda Nobuna, which will be released both digitally and physically by the company. We'll let the official press release fill in the rest about this Madhouse-produced show:

Thrust into the past, the young and ambitious Sagara Yoshiharu longs to fulfill an old man’s last wish. Yoshiharu is a curious high schooler who suddenly finds himself making an important promise to a wise elder, Kinoshita Tokichiro, who has just been hit by a stray bullet. Before Tokichiro dies on the battlefield, he describes the glorious world of his dreams to Yoshiharu. His fantasy was to be surrounded by women and living in a giant castle. Luckily, in this version of the notorious Sengoku period where Yoshiharu finds himself, all of the important Samurai lords are cute girls who can help this dream come to life and satisfy those desires.  In this world he meets a stunning young girl, Oda Nobuna. Strong-willed and beautiful Nobuna gives him the nickname “Monkey,” while he learns the ropes.  During battle, it’s every man for himself, but what if the most impressive warriors are girls?
