----------------------------------------
Feel free to leave whatever you want, these are underrated shows that are a parto f anime history in my mind.

I for one was always a fan of the original 4 OVA's and this continuation of the franchise really fleshed out the characters so well. Time had also passed so there was a more mature element to their personalities, not to mention this show came out before the start of the new millennium so the animation for shows was transitioning from the old look of the last 80's-90's to what we have now. All in all I loved it and will continue the series marathon style till the end! lol 6.8/10 (7/10 lol)

This was a great song at the end. Gouka Kenran was much better than Ouka Kenran.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!

@Niveen_Sleem Indeed, the second series of OAVs is better build (than the first one and the others for later games). By offering character-centric episodes (who happens outside of the game) to several of the girls, it compliments Sakura Taisen 2 nicely. "Ôka kenran" was only adding to Sakura's character (and took too long on it) and slightly enhancing Ôgami (who in the game is not a lot more than the player's avatar).

By the way, if you were wondering why Ayame (the graded woman) isn't present in this time period, it's because she died over the course of the first game. It's one of the big events in it. After that, she was replaced by her sister (how convenient? :D) for the second game who happens a few years later.

Score: 6/10 The digital drawings and colouring stand out at first because it was the first years of digital animation but it looks actually somewhat pretty.


edit @Niveen_Sleem I know. I only bounced on your remark to give mine. ^^" (and added the bit about the deceased character because you didn't watch the ST1 TV series). Anyway, all my excuses.

I don
t know anything about the games. I'm here for the anime itself. And yeah the color and animation are excellent considering how old it is.

Not gonna lie, at first i didn't get that these different Sakura lookalikes getting married at the beginning were how everyone imagined her marriage. The wedding ceremony itself was hella weird with those oni masks and authentic japanese YOOOOOOOOOOOO.

All in all, this OVA served as a fine addition to the game with lots of high quality animation all over the place.

Sakura got some good friends out there...somewhere in the sky in a highspeed zeppelin powered by a steam engine.

It took 6 episodes but Ohgami flashback night is over, sad to see him leave the team, I hope he will be featured in the other ova's or movie
