About Sakura Wars the Animation
Sakura Wars the Animation aired in the Spring 2020 broadcast season.
Manabu Ono (Sword Art Online: Alicization, Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere) directed the project at Sanzigen and co-wrote the scripts with Tatsuhiko Urahata (Hi-Score Girl, GATE). Sakura Wars composer Kōhei Tanaka scored the show’s soundtrack.
Oji Hiroi and Sega are credited with the original concept.
Funimation describes the title as:
Ten years after the demon war, the new Imperial Combat Revue’s Flower Division is assigned a new captain, Seijuro Kamiyama. Now, Sakura and the rest of the troupe must adjust to the change, face a demon invasion, and prepare for an upcoming tournament. They’ll have to juggle all this while keeping up with their training and continuing to put on shows at their home, the Imperial Theater.
