Sengoku Koihime Girls 12 - The Technobabble That Actually Wasn't Much of Anything

Magical Tokunyan vs Sengoku Sentai, STARTS NOW!

A bit of a slow start to the episode, but when it begins with Date going into a technobabble that would make Star Trek blush, only for Nobunaga to just cut it off with "You're from another country, right?", it gets points in my book. Sure, Hideyoshi and Date didn't do anything during the big fight, but they don't really have weapons. There were enough fighters in the ring as it was. And once the action got started, did it ever get started.

Even the Saigoku Three showed up again. (And, like Date's technobabble, were cut off from doing another long-winded introduction). Hideyoshi's idealism seemed a little misplaced at first (she's basically got a magical death satellite, bit of a risky venture to save her), but it lead to the Yuri Harem ending prophesized back in episode 7. "Nobunaga-onee-sama~". I, like Shiro, have no problems with this.

Now onto the last of the lingering issues. The same that Naoya and Cinque have.

How is she going to get back home?

Nice of everyone to come together and defeat Ieyasu. Lol at the end with Ieayasu calling Nobunaga onee-sama. Wonder what Date and Hideyoshi will do now.

The fight felt a little bit too short.
Can't wait to see how things evolve for the armor in the next episode.

[Hooves]

Even though I perfectly understood why Ieyasu would start calling Nobunaga that, I still couldn't help but say "What?" when it just came up

[kitten320]

The action was abit too sgort but considering how this series were this whole time, I'm not really suprised. Besides the action they gave was really good, it is hard to find any good team work in animes lately.

And Ieyasu was aweasome whole time

This episode also had bunch of great spundtracks which I can't wait to get.

[RX-78GP04G Gerbera]

This is why I'm not too keen on such series' being so short or at least don't have any (obvious) planned sequel series(') in the works.

With a series only 12-13 episodes long, they tend to leave quite a bit open while wrapping up the "main" points in the last 1-2 episodes, which makes it feel very rushed.

Then again, this wasn't exactly a deep or serious series to begin with, so it's not like it was MEANT to do anything besides entertain overall, with a bit of fan-service, lol.

Spoiler for ep12:

Oh Tokunyan is just so...!
Wa-wait... Not yet... Wait until the final thoughts...

I'm glad there is another episode left. I was wondering how they would finish everything up, but now that there is another episode left and Tokunyan was defeated this episode, there is plenty of time to close things up.
I was surprised Tokunyan was defeated so quickly, but I do feel that it is better than dragging the battle over a few episodes. It'll just make it harder to make a satisfying defeat. (Like Yumekui Merry)

Date-sensei: I'm her guardian
... I don't know, it just sounds funny coming from her...
Loved how she tried to explain SF stuff but got completely ignored.

But you know, there is all of this stuff like Hanzou saying Tokunyan was like a different person or Sensei talking about hidden evil, but I really feel that Tokunyan never really hid her evil (especially prior to transforming) nor was she any different from before...

[KyriaL]

Date explaining the future is how you define epic. Nuff said

And did the art improve for this episode?

[Dahak86]

nearly naked Tokunyan won the episode for me!

they say,

Spoiler for a picture is worth a thousand words:

too bad we didn't get a close-up of the armor falling off of her...
more Motonari was also good.

Spoiler for gifs:

[liro]

Akerin finally got what she deserved.

The animation for these last 2 episodes were pretty great. So the next episode is getting Hideyoshi back into future and meeting future version of Nobunaga?


Living the dream...

[Friday]

At last...the Gathering....."

The moment Yoshimoto turned up I knew the rest would show up as well.

Did Oda learned a hard lesson from the 3 wise Elders.( thats Yoshi, Shingen, Kenshin...) Maybe thats why it was seperated.

As for Ieaysu, she would eventually joins Oda and the way she did it and seeing it on the faces on the others was priceless!!!!

Hideyoshi & Date....wonder if that devise works....will they go or not???

i know exactly what you mean.

And still no action from hideyoshi this show was a big let down for me

[kitten320]

Hideyoshi never looked like an acrobatic and skilled person, so I never had my hopes up for her especially since series were mostly comedy.

Actually it is a bit refreshing to see a lead who doesn't own everyone.

[RX-78GP04G Gerbera]

Actually, she seemed to do quite a bit really, only she used words over fists.

As mentioned, just seeing the way she was at the beginning would make it obvious that she'd have no real input in such a big battle in terms of action like that.

[mangatron]

Hm hum, nice battle, and greatly animated to boot. I can't really complain about it being short, because, well, FPS gaming showed me that whenever it's all against one, it's not going to be a long fight

But when Tokunyan called the Hanzou's useless and blew them away, I was like aww, you Hanzou's aren't useless. Come with me, and I can have a hundred fun ways till Monday! *get's secret techniqued*

Ahem, anyways, does Hideyoshi fall into the Nanoha category, of not defeating the enemy and instead being friends with her? Really, she wanted to save Tokunyan, so...

But when she called Nobunaga "Oneesama", that was so going to happen. Never mind that though, how dare she motorboat my Nobunaga-chan! Them big ones are for me only!

Now I wonder, will Hideyoshi go back home? It'd be even funnier if Masamune goes back into the future, but in a different time, and gives the e-reader to another person to start the whole thing again

I know, right? Even so, she said it out of the blue like boom, and then they all took it like boom, nothing. I wanted to see Mitsuhide go "what? She's with you? You sent her to spy on us for the first 11 eps? Traitor!"

Hideyoshi was the lead? I thought it was Nobunaga *runs*

Yeah. I mean, she's a normal person and her opponent is this evil magical girl. There isn't anything she can do and it is best to leave it at that. A lot more satisfying than one of those anime where the main character suddenly opens up to a mysterious power and defeats that boss.
And as far as not being able to do nothing goes, she also doesn't end up high-and-mighty and lecturing others to a degree.

[Dark Komet]

So far they seem to be missing 3 characters from the sengoku otome game(which the anime is based on)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tM9N...layer_embedded

They may show up in a new season

Also what do you think the 3 of them are?

And there is only one episode left and i notice the ending of episode 12 is focusing on the armor for some unknown reason

[Hooves]

I'm going to guess atleast one of them is "Shimazu"?

But actually seeing Date and Hideyoshi fighting in the game is refreshing from how they were in the anime. But that's to be expected when two people from the future are sent to the past where people are accustomed to fighting.

[kitten320]

Maybe if there is a sequel, they will get some skills

[Sekirei07]

So is the series over? I mean I don't remember there being a next episode bit at the end. But so much is freaking left unsaid I can't believe they would just leave it out like that.
