Ever feel like you're taking a magical history class while watching anime? Those historical anime characters, like Ryoma Sakamoto from "Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto" or Oda Nobunaga in "Nobunaga Concerto", aren't just cute faces, they're based on real figures from history, uguu! So, how do these artsy makeovers change how we think about these past folks and their world, hmm? Do the playful tweaks make them friendlier to us modern fans, or do they blur the real history?
