5 Things Worth Remembered From Sakura Wars

I accidentally watched this anime on TV many years ago. Skeptic at first while no other available choice at that time, I followed the series which is lasted only in 25 chapters. It turned out that I enjoy the story and a few things presented there. I made a list of those below:
  • The opening song is catchy and the music reminds me of a japanese theatrical show. The fact is that the story tells about this show in some point.
  • Most of characters in the series consist of a group of young women. This group is known as the Imperial Assault Force, based in a theater and working undercover as the Imperial Theater Revue. The group to which the main characters belong is the Flower Division (Hanagumi), the main combat troop which piqued my interest after witnessing their battles. 
  • The steam-based mecha called Koubu is considered as the best concept in this anime. Koubu is activated by taking pilot inside of it and operate the steam machine. The pilots consist of women who form the main combat units because of their stronger spiritual power than most of the men. 
  • The anime comes to my liking after seeing the way how they work together as a team. Initially, the teamwork was not working well till the arrival of the new captain. He is the only male in Hanagumi team who unites the differences of all those young woman.
  • The setting of the series combines real locations with fantastical events and steampunk-based technology. The central conflict is between demonic forces created by the ingrained darkness in human hearts. It is set in Taisho period running from 1923 to 1940.
