About Sakura Wars the Animation

Sakura Wars the Animation (新サクラ大戦 the Animation) arrives as an action anime by SANZIGEN (2020), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: In 1930, two years after the events of So Long, My Love, the Great Demon War results in the annihilation of the Imperial, Paris and New York Combat Revues' Flower Divisions. With Earth at peace and the revues' actions becoming public, the World Combat Revue Organization is formed with several international divisions; a biennial international Combat Revue tournament has been organized.

Next up: Ten years later in 1940, Imperial Japanese Navy captain Kamiyama Seijuurou is assigned as the captain of the new Imperial Combat Revue's Flower Division in Tokyo, which consists of: Amamiya Sakura, a swordswoman and new recruit. The division once again faces a new demon invasion and participates in the upcoming tournament – while striving to keep their home at the Imperial Theater open.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Michie Tomizawa as Sumire Kanzaki and Misaki Watada as Klara M. Ruzhkova. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
