Nobunaga Concert
Speaking of time travel, Nobunaga Concerto is a manga series by Ayumi Ishii that tells the story of Saburō, a student who ends up traveling back in time to the Sengoku Period and ends up replacing the famous Oda Nobunaga. This manga led to an anime adaptation and a great dorama. In fact, I wrote an article discussing more about this work, you can read it by clicking here.
Sengoku Basara
Sengoku Basara is a game similar to Dynasty Warriors released for PS2/Wii/PSP. But it also yielded a 2 season anime. The difference in this story is that the protagonist is Date Masamune and Oda Nobunaga is seen as a perverse villain who calls himself "The Sixth Heavenly Demon". The anime and the game is very fictitious and fanciful, but it is successful among young people. Speaking of games about the Sengoku period that became anime, there is also Sengoku Musou da Koei.
Oda Nobuna no Yabou
Again talking about time travel, this anime tells the story of Sagara Yoshiharu who ends up traveling back in time to the Sengoku period, but various historical figures of the time are girls, including Oda Nobunaga. Those typical anime transform characters into moe moe to create a harem and fan service. Despite that, the story received excellent reviews, and is recommended. Speaking of female versions, another anime with female versions of Nobunaga is Sengoku Otome: Momoiro Paradox.

A manga is a 47-episode drama that tells the story of Oichi's daughter, the sister of Oda Nobunaga.
