Sengoku Maidens #01 — Nobunaga vs Cellular Phones
April 4th, 2011
Ye lords was this… 22 minutes.
Impressions:
Good god. I’m not sure if it’s possible to create a more bland show. Everything about this reeks of pure distilled tepid mediocrity and laziness. Even the T&A. There’s the fanservice friendly bikinis and Nobunaga’s boobs (god that feels weird to write) occasionally bounce, but that’s all. They even zoom in on Hideyoshi’s Dumpling Head’s butt as she crawls around around and show her getting off the toilet while somehow avoiding even a slightly glimpse of her panties. It’s just bizarre. Why are we zoomed in on her butt? Why was it necessary to show her on the toilet? What the hell? I will admit that I laughed at the end though. After 22 minutes of putting me into a near coma, it ended with Dumpling Head Hidecchi meeting a talking dog wearing Masamune’s helmet. Then it launched into an ED that is so trippy that it gave me a contact high.
It’s hard to really say anything notable about it because it does bloody nothing notable. There’s at least something to talk about when shows do things badly. They made a crappy decision and it could have been improved in some way. This show barely even feels like it’s phoning it in… like it had a friend phone it in for them. It does completely recycle the intro scene… which wasn’t even good to begin with, so production is already poor verging to awful. The music is… okay I guess. It’s not really building itself as either a comedy or an adventure aside from about 30 seconds of them saying that Nobunaga’s out to gather some armor. Hell, I’m not sure what the hell it wants to do with itself. It leaves no impression whatsoever except that it has stolen 22 minutes of my life.
In short, thoroughly uninspired and really does absolutely nothing even worth noting. At least bad things are notably bad. This is just… completely bland. It’s like trying to review a saltine cracker… one that takes 22 minutes to eat.

She must be moonlighting.
