Can I get a rec for a shoujo (or similar) anime series, please? I've got a bunch of stuff to watch, but they're all in the action / mystery / serious style, and I feel the need of something a little bit different to freshen it up.

Hmm.. the last thing that was vaguely shojou-ish that I watched was Haruka naru toki no nakade.3, both OVAs since the first has a direct sequel in the second OVA. I know it's classified as harem anime but the heroine reminds me a lot of Utena in her strength of character, is voiced by Utena's seiyuu too!, and the harem elements are surprisingly toned down.

There are many moments in both sequels that I liked how Nozomi responded to events. So fate is against her? She decides to fight fate. Her love interest is her enemy? She's going to stop him. Yeah, it was a refreshing change from the insipid heroines these days^^

Hmmm historical setting, reverse harem, strong heroine? Worth trying! *goes off to download*
