Reception

had four editors review the first episode of the anime: James Beckett was initially on board with the show's concept but felt the jokes were too obvious and catered only to Japanese history aficionados, and its use of "noticeably cheap artwork and corny vocal performances" made it feel like a short-form series but is instead an "achingly repetitive" full-length one; Theron Martin commended the use of Nobunaga and other Sengoku-era figures as reincarnated canines through good "artistic effort" and decently comedic scenarios; Nick Creamer was critical of the show's overarching joke being stretched throughout its runtime and having "no real aesthetic strengths" to distinguish itself, concluding that: "If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the entire show; feel free to skip this one." The fourth reviewer, Rebecca Silverman, saw promise in the overall concept with its juxtaposition of dogs having elderly voices and side-by-side comparisons with their human forms, but felt it lacked enough "humor power" to justify its full-length running time.
