As someone who didnt play the original game this was based off of, I found my experinces with Sakura Wars 2000 to be a consistantly enjoyable throughout. Just seemed like a well paced, nice looking, well written bunch of episodes with consistant character drivien-- I dont think there was a single episode that felt like it was wasting my time with what was being focused on. Characters visually all look very nice. I dont know if they had a big or small budget but no one looked bad to me, everyone is distinct I never confused one character from another. Villians I need to giveprops to making more competent rather than the usual un expected youth beats them easily early on and repeat, it does feel like they're strategists that can think through to reach their goals with their abilities. Very welcomed.

And yet its not breaking any new ground for the genre, not bad but not great. Certain scene have odd vocal tracks that sometimes clash for the tone at the time it was trying to get accross visually.

So nice looking animation with a good overall experience, some odd choice of songs for certain scenes but I wasnt dying watching any of the episodes in paticular and yet its not amazing ether. Its like a fine 25 episode series of episodes with a begining middle and end. It feels also very rewatchable. I can easily see myself coming back to this or just playing it in the background. Good show but maybe thats all it needed to be
