It's not bad at all, and it's not entirely without fanservice either. Only one of the girls is scantily clad so far, but I'm sure more'll come along.

The sexuality is just downplayed compared to what you might expect out of this kind of anime. It's still there. I'd wish for more, but it's an enjoyable show either way.

I find it hard to pay attention to anything that ends up on SC because I lose a LOT of brain cells every time I navigate to that horrible weaboo pervert-ridden website. There's a lot of things in the world that shouldn't exist, and SC is definitely on my personal top 10 list of said things.

But I digress... Back to the main topic.

The moment the episode started, I knew it was going to be one of those shows. The kind that makes you go "Oh, boy" in a heightened pitch (or a lowered one; doesn't matter, really) about every 5-10 mins or so. Hideyoshi is not only stupid, but annoying. More often than not I can somewhat learn to tolerate characters who're one or the other. Put em' together and it's a force meant for evil. EVIL, I say!

It's obvious that this show isn't meant to take itself (or anything else, for that matter) too seriously. Other than the fact that it's an all-female cast. My yuri senses are tingling... Or rather, my "here-comes-a-show-with-hundreds-of-omg-in-your-face-potential-shoujo-ai-moments-but-none-will-ever-actually-happen-despite-all-of-the-implications-because-it's-a-parody-show" senses are tingling. This is one of few times where I don't mind that, though.

Red-headed lady is the reason I am continuing to watch this show. I'm so serious. I like her a lot, and I don't know why.

What else? Oh, yeah. Terrible OP. It can go die for all I care. The ED, however, is very nice. (Almost too nice for this show, really.) I would like to hear the whole thing.

Hm, exaggeration much?

anyways, looks like it's undergoing quite a few "changes" though, what with posting articles about 'serious' anime and the likes... <-- (sarcasm)
strangely enough, I have yet to see an article about Freezing special #1, but I'm pretty sure it's only a matter of time.

my apologies for OT.

The red ponytail is mine! Mine I say! I care not who opposes me!

But first I have to get used to this series. Though, the ponytail is about several additional points on my "interest" list

[Wakan Tanka]

It did enjoy this, I expectd something like Samurai Girls but to my surprise, it was much better, be it art or characters. I'll keep this on my list this spring.

[ShiroiRyu]

I enjoyed this ...
And for SC, if it's not a fucking pedo-loli, they will dislike a serie.
It's just that. :s

[Wakan Tanka]

I think that the blue-haired teacher [Date] could also travel back in time, her office was full of weapons, and there was a suspicious red/crimson armor, it seems that she got some pieces of the Crimson Armor that Oda wants to find...is all this stuff supposed to be in school...

[msg]

Wall paper n character recognition

Spoiler for characters:

From left to right: Date masamune, Tokugawa Leyasu, Uesugi Kenshin, Oda Nobunaga, Imagawa Yoshimoto, Takeda Shingen, Toyotomi hideyoshi and Akechi Mitsuhide.

All of them are in pre sengoku era.A pioneer of a warrior samurai class.If i'm not mistaken theres two more hidden characters...

[kramerica]

Red-headed polynail = chifuyu-nee, that's probably why she's likeable :P

[Echoes]

If I were to recall a character she'd done for a comparison as to why she's likable I'd go with Revy over Chifuyu, but whatever floats your boat. ^^

You don't like SC? I mean don't you like articles that look like someone took all the words one would normally say, ran them through a thesaurus, and let the lulz flow.

[Dralha]

Ep 1 was great: very funny stuff, cute protagonist, & a dash of fanservice.

[Master_Yoma]

This is good but it seems like if Sengoku Basara and Koihime Musou smashed together

That's exactly why I dislike it. I hate anything that encourages a lack of intelligence... or dignity, for that matter. =_=;

Edit: For the record, I'd thought I'd come back and say that I personally wasn't exaggerating in my post. I hate that website, and that's exactly what I think of any non-Japanese person who navigates it, frankly.

Well, speaking of SB, I would pay to see Yukimura from SB shacking up with Shingen in Sengoku Otome.

"Oyakata-jou Sama!"

"Yu-ki-mu-ra!"

And Shingen is the dominant gal in the relationship

I'm going with Chifuyu-nee this time around, because I always dreamed of giving her a ponytail, and now I got my wish! Dreams do come true! *cough* like that Freezing incident I went through*cough*

[KyriaL]

i've found the 1st episode quite decent. It has decent animation and the plot isn't all that that usual. Lets hope future episodes will continue to improve

Well, a bit exagerated yes but SC is the worst website for reliable news, is more like mmosite about online mmo if you know what i'm talking about.

Btw, is not a bad first episode, i will watch more.

[kramerica]

SC is a site that I go to mainly to see how bad it can be :P

It's like how /a/ jokes about 3DPD, but SC takes it seriously.

Back on topic, I'm still on the fence on this show. It was just ok for a start. And the whole girl falling into another world is reminding me of Himiko-den more.
