This week, Ben and I watched Sakura Wars. For the first time ever (for this show), I watched it with the subtitle track, because I didn’t realize I had an English track available. Oh well.
This is an anime about an acting troop that also fights monsters by piloting steampunk mech water heaters. Based on a dating sim/tactical RPG for the Sega Saturn, this series features a cast of eligible women (and one bro). Cute characters. Fun story. Awesome theme song.
It’s Sakura Wars!
This also happens to be our shortest show in quite a while, so if you’re aching for more audio content…uhhhh…listen to episode 35 of Retrunauts, where they talk about the Saturn. Shut up! You can never get too much Saturn!
Segata Sanshiroooooo!!!!!!
That was a nice and short episode (love the chicago joke LOL!)
Hmm, I didn’t know Sakura Wars was an anime/OVA/manga/light novel/etc. I thought it was only a video game with anime cut scenes. I think I’ll check it out, I hope I can find it on Amazon
Are you guys going to go over All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku or Project A-ko in the future?
If we don’t cover either of those in the future, I will riot. I love both of those.
The only catch is that I have to watch Nuku-Nuku Dash, which…sigh….I have attempted many times and haven’t been able to stomach. But the original OVA and TV series are fucking fantastic!
Ok ok, we’ll cover those! But next week, something truly… incredible will be coming.
Thanks for the shout out guys XD
Hehe, thanks for the shout out.
So I presume you’ve seen the Sega Saturn’s Segata ads featuring Sakura Wars? XD
