I'm watching like one or two of those shows. :)
(Not saying I wouldn't like all of them, I just haven't cared enough to look them up.)
In addition to the below I did also watch AnoHana 04 today; I'll write about that one later.
Sengoku Otome (Battle Girls) 02 - This was better than episode 1, I thought. I almost dropped the series after ep. 1 because of how bad it was, but now I think I'll continue... The main character is still annoyingly stupid and mostly useless, but I liked a few things about this episode and found it moderately entertaining.
First, the main character girl (she is, remember, a complete moron) starts out sleepy, and looks for her toothbrush before remembering where she is. Then she complains that the only clothing she has is her school uniform and school gym uniform; she wants other clothing, apparently. This has got to be one of the first times in a "girl pulled into a fantasy world" anime that I've seen the main character complain about only having a school uniform, and want other clothing... good stuff.
She goes with Nobunaga and underling to look at the nearby village, which was destroyed in the fire in ep. 1. The women there are picking up what they can of the rubble of their houses. The main character tries to inspire them by playing a song on her cellphone (she also checks for reception several times in the episode... see my above comment about her being an idiot. And I wonder how long those batteries are going to last...). Nobunaga likes that she inspired the peasants. Underling woman is angry.
Also, she asks the talking dog for an explanation of why (among humans) there are only women in this world. He claims that there are indeed no males here, and that children are found in places like where they are in classic stories -- in bamboo shoots, floating down the river, etc. Who knows if he's telling the truth, but it is kind of amusing if true. :)
After that, the angry woman who's Nobunaga's underling challenges our heroine to a set of matches testing her combat skills. She loses, badly -- no super awesome all-around combat skills here. She does do a little better in the last round, the fight with staffs, by using a move she saw on a TV martial arts show she used to watch, but still loses.
Hyuge Mono 01 - Pretty good show! I will definitely be continuing with this series. It's got fairly decent historical accuracy, Sengoku combat, Nobunaga being a good leader and also a jerk, a guy obsessed with tea, and more. The main character's faces when thinking about tea, and that special teapot, were pretty awesome... he's an interesting lead. :) Solid plot too. This is good, I'd been meaning to watch it for a while and it's good that I finally did.
