| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn Erica, being too pure is a poor excuse to just do a man like that. With Ogami's intense groans the whole act felt very immersive. The battle scene looked very good for an old 3D, i think there even was rotoscoping used for when Erika's cockpit came off. Initially i did not plan to watch this OVA because i haven't played third game, but after seeing a couple of clips of it on sakugabooru and learning that it's supposed to be prequel, decided to give it a go. It turned out to be an interesting watch introducing the Paris cast of characters whom i found to be quite likeable, especially Erica with all her goofiness. I hope one day the game itself will get translated. |

| Nice to see some bonding between the members of the Paris flower division, kinda wished there were more episodes before to get more familar with the members. |

| This episode felt more like the Sakura Wars I've come to know. The tunnel fight scene was pretty cool but overall as a non game player there isn't much to overly remember about this OVA. Well other than Erica who was pretty fun. |
| Sakura Wars: School of Paris The mediocre art continues. I tried to cherry pick the few decent shots, but the moment-to-moment show looks unappealing. The worst part is the sterile and poorly composited 3D CGI mech fight which looks like some embarassing direct-to-video Western cartoon that you would see stores sell to moms. The 3D CGI also means you get a lengthy exchange of blows but nobody gets their cockpit caved in, their sword warped by the tremendous stress forces, pauldrons being blown off, etc. It's like watching two action figures be bumped into each other. The setting of Paris in this OVA looks slummy and unattractive compared to Tokyo in the prior series. As of this time, Sakura Wars 3 has not yet received a fan translation patch. There is a translation on Gamefaqs, but I don't want to be darting my eyes back and forth between two windows to play a 30+ hour long VN/SRPG. So I am unacquainted with these characters. My impression is that like SW5's cast, they are too cartoony rather than feeling like real fleshed out people like most of the Tokyo cast. Erica is super ditzy and clueless, Glycine talks about how the nobility must protect the weak, Coquelicot is Rosita aka super zany girl running around everywhere and doing dumb stuff. Hanabi seems well adjusted by gets barely 30 seconds of screentime. So the only sane people around seem to be Ogami, Lobelia, and the two theater overseers of Grand-Mere and Sakomizu. I would prefer my mech units to feel more professional. Lobelia appears to be the third character in the franchise after Iris and Kyogoku who is so unusually powerful that she can channel her spirit energy at range, rather than just through whatever melee weapon or mech she is touching. The black cat statues with the amber colored stained glass and the art noveua black metalwork is pretty neat. The purple hue of the auditorium gives it a fantasy feel. Is Glycine's noble family from France? How then did they survive the French Revolution? Even if they fled and had villas outside of France, their mansion in France would have been confiscated, no? It is absurd that the anime tries to make Lobelia out to be some sort of revered "holy" whore who invites random men off the street to her room to stay there overnight, but she hasn't had sex with any of them. Example of the aforementioned shoddy 3D CGI mech fight.  |
