Behold the "Shinchou Meikan"!

It's almost Comiket time and some previews are already popping out here and there.

Irene (thank youuuu!) showed me this awesome book, "Shinchou Meikan" (信長名鑑) by Chihatan (ちはたん) circle!
It's an encyclopedia of ALL the depictions of Nobunaga in fiction, featuring anime, manga, mascottes, light novels and videogames!
The author researched 388 Nobu-versions in this book, with references and details on sources and interpretations... Far from "scholar stuff", but quite the task nevertheless!

I can't find a webpage of the author but their Twitter account, where you can check some pictures of the contents, too.
If you manage to visit Comiket on December 31, note the booth of Chihatan: 東ホ09b!

    Oh heavens above, its that Nobubaga doggy manga!!

    I wonder if this book will include the upcoming Batman crossover nonsense, where Nobunaga is played by The Joker (sacrilege!! XD)

    Maybe not, because the movie is not yet out.

      It's kinda sad, in fact-- Despite the task, there will always be more Nobu out there... It's never going to be complete >_<#

      Of course, it is going to be an endless job LOL.

      But really, have you seen Ninja Batman anime movie trailer? Batman timetravelled to Sengoku Jidai and... uh... somehow the Joker is "Nobunaga"... kind of D: (he calls himself Dairokuten Maou, and lives in a castle that looks like a messed up Azuchi)

      Its very strange, I don't know how to feel about it >_<

      No, I didn't see that trailer XD But once the anime is out I'm definitely going to watch that XD (the fact that Batman doesn't kill his enemies is reassuring, though!)
