The full list from the Wiki, just to see if it can spark some conversation:
Nobunaga: Roman Holiday (not the first anime homage to it. I remember one in
Strike Witches 2)
Ieyasu: A Star is Born
Kanetsugu and Kenshin: Der Himmel über Berlin/
Wings of Desire
Masamune: Female Convict 701: Scorpion
Bokuden: Bowling for Columbine (that's something I never thought I'd see associated with anime.)
Gennai: Back to the Future (okay, we sort of guessed that one.)
And the others were already listed.
Finding this out just increased my respect for this show several times over. Is it still a cute Sengoku girls show? Of course it is, that's why I got into it in the first place. But now it has an additional layer of culture to it, a treat for seasoned film buffs, and people who wish to become film buffs. There's still several more episodes left to go to see what the show will do with the plotlines it's set up (the search for the Treasures, Yoshimoto's counter-strategy), but now I'm more excited than before. By drawing from the past, this show has carved out its own future.
