However if you're looking for a show with a strong female lead, you should put Moribito at the top of your list.

Hakuouki was, I believe, based on a romance simulation game for girls. Like all harem games, the main character is typically undeveloped to enable the player to imagine him or herself in that character's role.
I can't believe I forgot Moribito! That show is responsible for making me hate weak female characters lol. It was an amazing show. Female leads should always kick ass like that.

But yeah, Asian-type shows interest me. However, there's something about the fuedal Japan era that I just really love.
