Sakura Wars: The Movie · review
Let's cut to the chase. * Story (7) - I didn't know to expect from this movie in the beginning, it all randomly started with a show from the Flower Division and it left me confused for a while until I realized it was the opening of the movie. As the story further progressed we get to meet characters and such, and we learn more about their background stories. * Art (8) - Since it's a movie from the 2000, I suspect that the art will be something like that, it felt okay to watch but I had sometimes troubles with how the characters sometimes makefaces. It's bugs me. There was also two characters that almost looked the same to me due to their hairstyle and the haircolor. But it was later clarified.
* Sound (9) - I just love hearing the instruments during battle scene, it gives more the epic feel of slaying an enemy and such. (You will know which scene I mean). It had me confusing in the beginning but I noticed there weren't really an opening so that was automatically an opening song.
* Character (8) - We see some serious character developments upon the arrival of the character named, Ratchete. And other two people that used to work for her on a team. Logically speaking, this movie is more about her than the Flower Division altogether. She was there to learn something out of it.
The antagonist is not that special, I kind of miss the original ones because they have more deeper meaning why they exist, while the antagonist of this movie? He just randomly popped and say he will rid the world of Kobous and Eisenkleids. (Don't know I spell both correctly).
* Enjoyment (8) - Well, even though I had those negative comments about the antagonist I still enjoyed the movie no matter, what. It just gave me the feeling that I do miss the original Sakura Taisen team. Bu it feels off for me, that's all.
