Yup. And also a couple of other guest artist. Like shigenori from persona, Haruhi suzumiya's Noizi ito and a few more.

Sega PLEASE do something more with the series, like some remastered of the original 5 games maybe!!

They did ,,something'' in West. They added DLC with main characters from SW1-5 to Super Robot Wars 30, and ... thats all. But probably this series is again forgotten like they did with Valkyria Chronicles.

[@vollied4865]

Tite Kubos art style is always amazing really brings me back to the days of reading bleach weekly on the edge of my seat, so glad to see him still working

[@Xeltos]

Yeah!, Kubo even recommended Masashi Kudou (Worked on the Bleach anime) for the 3d gameplay models.

Sakura Taisen had the original waifu characters since 1996. Sega of America was just dumb and did not know how to market it at the time during Saturn,Dreamcast and PS2 eras (Sakura Taisen 5 was released in 2010 and not by Sega.A full 5 years after the japanese release).
