something in the heavy lines and use of colour in 90's anime just hit different. I was not aware anything beyond Pokemon existed as a kid, as such, once I learned there were so many other forms of anime out there, I realised I had an untapped gold mine of backlog anime to delight in. The point is, nostalgia is not a factor in my love of 90s anime, rather the aforementioned aesthetic choices, writing quality and tropes of the genre are the main things I love most in anime

どのアニメのopでも言えるけど強そうな敵の演出ほんと好き

[@Hambs23]

Started playing yesterday after trying to find an undubbed version of Sakura Wars for Wii. Never played or seen in depth any of the games in the series before, so I didn't knew exactly what to expect and I loved what I got. This game has the smell and taste of a 90s anime, with cartoonish villains, episode previews, catchy opening song and all. They integrated the visual novel segments in a way that it doesn't brake the flow of the story: you can't save mid-game, only when the game lets you do so; and most choices you need to make are timed. This way you'll always read each segment of an episode in full (they aren't as big as most VNs, clocking in around 15 ~30 min each depending on your actions) and you always need to pay attention to the dialogue so you don't do a choice you don't want to. Some of these timers go by very fast, but I think it adds to the game's personality and consequences of your actions, by making you accept your choices, even if they aren't as you wanted, and maybe giving more reason to replay the game with those choices in mind. The combat is also very dependant on these VN section, as the characters don't level up. Instead they get stronger or weaker depending on their mood, which changes depending on your interactions with them. And this seems like it goes on a episode-to-episode basis, as my Sakura was in High Spirits on episode 1, and even though my actions were more or less balanced in terms of keeping her mood high, she was "demoted" to Normal Spirits on ep 2. So you can't really grind affection, making the game always balanced, which I like, but I can see how it would be a turn-off for some that want to make an unbeatable unit, or freely customize their stats for different strategies. I'm not very far into the game yet, but I really like it. If anyone is interested, I'd recommend trying out the English patched SEGA Saturn version in case you don't understand Japanese. The main theme is LIT.

You know, I love coming back to watching older anime intros for multiple reasons. Initially it's to get a feel on how much anime has evolved when it comes to animation, style and such over the years. Yet despite that, anime from the 90's and earlier have a charm about them that in some ways, modern anime hasn't always been able to invoke. There's a classic, nostalgic feeling that builds up inside me whenever I revisit an older anime (even if some shows having aged to well in some regards). Regardless, I enjoy older anime series, and they'll always have a special place in my heart.

セガサターンのサクラ大戦のOP懐かしすぎて泣ける。オーケストラでもよく聞いたな。

Good old memories along with many others, but I just discovered it had a manga, and when I checked it seemed different from what I remember

[@thecrashito]

What a kickass opening

[@gootannubooo]

何の予備情報もなくセガサターンで買いました。 横山智佐、田中真弓さんなんてもはや声優レジェンドだよなぁ。。。

[@StellaronHunterFan19]

I love this game so much

[@なおなお-v9l]

さくら可愛いよね😃

Jugando nuevamente este gran titulo en dreamcast nostalgia pura T.T

[@pemimpiradikall]

Beatifuly drawn anime. I miss those style

[@trcsonic]

I agree. I don't like the new "Bleach" style.

[@BR--]

Uff. La nostalgia. Esa serie la miré hace long time. Por ahí del 2001-2003

[@rafaelrodrigues976]

Man, if this is already amazing today, imagine watching it on the 90's!

[@nr2676]

And Japanese watched this on Sega Saturn in 1996. Opening for Sakura Wars 3 in 2001 on Dreamcast, is even more mindblowing.

[@Probablyabox]

We're getting sakura wars 6 boys

[@TheEliaz78]

[@roleemack1535]

Lord Kmote agreed on PlayStation 4 and VITA

[@thelastgogeta]

@@roleemack1535 PS4 was just confirmed but maybe it will reach more platforms with time. PC gets games late from Valkyria Chronicles to Yakuza now.

Me encanta el diseño y el intro. Me hubiera encantado haberlo jugado en sus años de salida.
