I think I have judged Oshima's Fuse Teppo-Musume No Torimono-Cho (damn these long titles) a little too harshy. Well, a lot too harshy. I won't pretend it's her greatest work but there is some superb work in there and it is WELL worth hearing. I would say that most of it is excellent even if some isn't particularly to my taste. Oshima squeezes every last drop out of her 36-piece orchestra towards the end with a trio of straight symphonic cues that almost make up for the comparatively spotty score that went before. Just when you think all is lost, suddenly there's a a five minute action / magic / mystery piece that works in just about every trademark "Oshima-ism"... Tiny, tiny orchestra, but big music... and stunningly well recorded for a Sound Inn score. Slightly close-miked (not that there's much choice in Sound Inn because it has almost no natural reverberation and in all honesty is really unsuitable for any ensemble size over 40 players...) but not claustrophobic like some of those old Sahashi scores. Yes, it has that "cheap Japanese orchestral score" sound to it, but it works awfully well.
