something in the heavy lines and use of colour in 90's anime just hit different. I was not aware anything beyond Pokemon existed as a kid, as such, once I learned there were so many other forms of anime out there, I realised I had an untapped gold mine of backlog anime to delight in. The point is, nostalgia is not a factor in my love of 90s anime, rather the aforementioned aesthetic choices, writing quality and tropes of the genre are the main things I love most in anime
@@inkoinfinity2 Too right. I don't draw or paint nor consider myself much of a visual artist but even I can see huge differences! Thanks for good reply
@@inkoinfinity2people tend to have less snotty attitudes towards other kinds of older things, like classic movies. When it comes to 90s anime (or anime in general), some people really turn their nose up at that for some reason.
I do too. It's so beautiful in every single way, and I miss it so much. In my opinion, the anime styles used today have something to them that just seems...bland and plain.
@Shin Shaman think of it in terms of both culture and art. For example the popular clothing style of 17th century wouldn't work today because based on the culture climate favors clothes that are more simple and comfortable.
80's and 90's has the best animes series, ova and movies. And the end of the 70's also has some good ones. The quality of the animation, the design of the characters, details, everything was much better than today
Fun fact: the characters were designed by Kosuke Fujishima, a very big name in the anime industry who is known for some of the most amazing art styles around. At one point even Tite Kubo got involved in the development of one of the Sakura Wars console games. Amazing art!
Characters were designed by Hidenori Matsubara (Neon Genesis Evangelion), but art-style is Kosuke Fujishima. It's not same thing. it's so sad Fujishima is finished in Japan, and no one want hire him again, due to sexual scandal and problems in personal life. Even Bandai Namco don't want hire him again for Tales of games.
More than 20 years ago since I first watched this as a kid, I’m still listening to this song till this day on my Spotify. Still can’t beat the original anime rendition.
God this style of animation is so nostalgic. I would like it if hand drawn animation could come back, at least with more popular stuff like Berserk 2016.
I've been saying this for years and it's great to finally see someone else who feels the same way. Modern animation doesn't have the same heart and soul :(.
LOL WTF are you on about, 90% of anime is still hand drawn, the only difference between now and then is the fact that anime today are coloured on computers instead of on cells which is extremely time consuming, even Ghibli no longer colours on Cells even though they were one of the last major studios to keep doing it.
It's a pain to keep explaining but do watch how Disney animates their old works. It's the same process used on classic animes. You'll get why it's tedious. They're still hand drawn but coloring, putting background, etc. is now digital.
@@hawahawalol91 I got that, BUT the plot of the actual game is quite different from the game, i think the manga follows it better. I prefer the plot of the game from the one in the anime after all does the anime looks like it was based of a game that is part "dating sim!?"
0:48 omg I've been humming this melody a few years back and cant remember from what song it was, until I eventually gave up. But here I am finally hearing it again.
Started playing yesterday after trying to find an undubbed version of Sakura Wars for Wii. Never played or seen in depth any of the games in the series before, so I didn't knew exactly what to expect and I loved what I got. This game has the smell and taste of a 90s anime, with cartoonish villains, episode previews, catchy opening song and all. They integrated the visual novel segments in a way that it doesn't brake the flow of the story: you can't save mid-game, only when the game lets you do so; and most choices you need to make are timed. This way you'll always read each segment of an episode in full (they aren't as big as most VNs, clocking in around 15 ~30 min each depending on your actions) and you always need to pay attention to the dialogue so you don't do a choice you don't want to. Some of these timers go by very fast, but I think it adds to the game's personality and consequences of your actions, by making you accept your choices, even if they aren't as you wanted, and maybe giving more reason to replay the game with those choices in mind. The combat is also very dependant on these VN section, as the characters don't level up. Instead they get stronger or weaker depending on their mood, which changes depending on your interactions with them. And this seems like it goes on a episode-to-episode basis, as my Sakura was in High Spirits on episode 1, and even though my actions were more or less balanced in terms of keeping her mood high, she was "demoted" to Normal Spirits on ep 2. So you can't really grind affection, making the game always balanced, which I like, but I can see how it would be a turn-off for some that want to make an unbeatable unit, or freely customize their stats for different strategies. I'm not very far into the game yet, but I really like it. If anyone is interested, I'd recommend trying out the English patched SEGA Saturn version in case you don't understand Japanese. The main theme is LIT.
@@BillyBatsonShazam Oh yeah, Sega Saturn emulators are pretty heavy. I also had to switch PCs, my notebook coulnd't keep up TT.TT .

+Shaq Jacob We got at least Sakura Wars 5. I still do wonder what happened to the World Project (an actual whole localization-themed project from ST-team which explains lieu of remakes after Sakura Wars 4) back in the old times. I do hope we see this series cropping back over time however when it's supported more well than the old times.
1. This is EXTREMELY text-heavy so it would have taken a long time to be released. (around 1998 if translated) 2. Lots of voice work would have to be done. (and do I have to mention how bad English voice acting in Japanese video games were in the mid 90s? Just look at Resident Evil and you get a good idea) 3. Fucking Bernard Stolar....
The third girl was very prettily drawn. Short brown hair wearing violet kimono (I think). This was a childhood anime. I'm 30 now, and this is so nostalgic. 😅
I love this opening! The gunshot at the beginning gives this OP such a cool vibe. I'm new to Sakura Wars(Started with the new Sakura Wars game and anime) and I'm starting to watch the old anime. Not sure how well it translates from the old games but its been pretty fun so far.
It was designed to be a 2D powerhouse. It wasn’t until Sony announced the PSX would be 3D when Sega scrambled to put a 3D chip in the Saturn. But yeah, it was mind blowing how powerful the Saturn was and devastating how Sega handled it here in the states. (It did good in Japan where Sega concentrated on showing off its 2D greatness) Hell, the Saturn version of Street Fighter Zero 3 was even better than the Dreamcast version, and the Dc version was literally the arcade version.
Because of this? An fmv??? Ps1 also had that. I'd expect a comment like this on something that shows how much more superior the Saturn is to N64 or something graphically/tech wise, not a video clip lmao
You know, I love coming back to watching older anime intros for multiple reasons. Initially it's to get a feel on how much anime has evolved when it comes to animation, style and such over the years. Yet despite that, anime from the 90's and earlier have a charm about them that in some ways, modern anime hasn't always been able to invoke. There's a classic, nostalgic feeling that builds up inside me whenever I revisit an older anime (even if some shows having aged to well in some regards). Regardless, I enjoy older anime series, and they'll always have a special place in my heart.

Thats a very shallow view.

Thanks for uploading :D I got some boxed edition of the PS2 game when I bought a Japanese PS2. I tried to play it because the art style is sooo pretty but I had no idea what was going on because it was in Japanese LOL
Just emulate PS2/Wii game (Sakura Wars 5) and Saturn game (Sakura Wars 1 with fan translation patch), and wait patiently for fan translation patch for Sakura Wars 3 which was announced few months ago. If Sega no bother to rerelease / translate rare and expensive games, just pirate them. You bought a game (propably untranslated PS2 remake of first Sakura Wars), and you will be justified.
happy birthday sakura!!! i checked this series out after hearing this so long ago and i really love it(both the games & anime.) really captures that 90's anime charm and a real highlight of how great the sega saturn was in 2d.(and that it was released on my brothers birthday.:3) i really would love if we got a new sega superstars game that has the characters in both the old & new tite kubo designs make an appearance.(and also dinosaur king,sega hard girls,clockwerk knight,hatsune miku,persona 5,catherine,puyo puyo & especially bayonetta.:3)
Yan Emiya I mean, yeah, not the whole thing. There’s definitely some sections where it isn’t the smoothest, but a lot of the zooms and especially that last shot? Pretty smooth, I think. IDK, let me go through it frame by frame and take a look.
i have the full dreamcast collection of games in a huge Red box with like 10 GD rom but i can't play it , my dreamcast is far away ... i misses those games so much.
happy 24th anniversary sakura wars!!!(would love to see it bayonetta especially,persona 5,sega hard girls,dinosaur king,catherine and hatsune miku appear in the next sega all stars game/sega 60th anniversary game or special movie.:3)
I remember playing this on the early 2000 on my Dreamcast. I was shocked on how good the quality it was. Unfortunately the game was on japanese so i couldnt get so far.
Because this was most expensive Sega game until Shenmue. There is fan translation patch for Sega Saturn version of first game, and for second one is nearly finished. Moders also working now on SW3 translation on Sega Dreamcast.

Como se llama él animé ??
@@celsoreyesjimenez7826 en realidad era un juego de la Sega, creo. Se llama Sakura taisen
@@celsoreyesjimenez7826 Sakura taisen. Tiene una serie de 4 OVAs de 1997, otra serie de 6 OVAs de 1999, una serie de 25 capítulos del 2000 y una serie de 12 capítulos del 2020.
今のよりこの頃の絵柄が最高！
I'm literally crying cause I miss this team and I miss sakura so much
This is incredible, I love the art style! Makes me want to rewatch the anime.
今でも通用しそうなキャラデザ。
yuki wakuwaku 今、放送しても数字普通に取れるアニメだと思う。
この素晴らしいフランチャイズの24年後でも私たちのファンのために働いている、それはただ懐かしい感じがします
HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY SAKURA TAISEN
当時のセガは実に限られたもので限りなく素晴らしい作品を作ってましたね！すべての関係者と製作者に感謝！
今観てもワクワクするなぁ
OMG this was the first anime I ever watched. I remember I got the disc from the library thinking it was another cartoon or something. This was a great show and I have to watch it again
Amazing Opening Song. Thank you
90's designs were at their truly prime, simply amazing.
今見ても色褪せませんね
新作もそうであって欲しい
Thanks for uploading :D I got some boxed edition of the PS2 game when I bought a Japanese PS2. I tried to play it because the art style is sooo pretty but I had no idea what was going on because it was in Japanese LOL
Just emulate PS2/Wii game (Sakura Wars 5) and Saturn game (Sakura Wars 1 with fan translation patch), and wait patiently for fan translation patch for Sakura Wars 3 which was announced few months ago. If Sega no bother to rerelease / translate rare and expensive games, just pirate them. You bought a game (propably untranslated PS2 remake of first Sakura Wars), and you will be justified.

The sound quality is amazing! ^^
Yes it is :)))
happy birthday sakura!!! i checked this series out after hearing this so long ago and i really love it(both the games & anime.) really captures that 90's anime charm and a real highlight of how great the sega saturn was in 2d.(and that it was released on my brothers birthday.:3)
i really would love if we got a new sega superstars game that has the characters in both the old & new tite kubo designs make an appearance.(and also dinosaur king,sega hard girls,clockwerk knight,hatsune miku,persona 5,catherine,puyo puyo & especially bayonetta.:3)
Man that animation is so smooth.
No it isn’t
deludeddesktopalien No, are you?
Yan Emiya I mean, yeah, not the whole thing. There’s definitely some sections where it isn’t the smoothest, but a lot of the zooms and especially that last shot? Pretty smooth, I think. IDK, let me go through it frame by frame and take a look.

Uff. La nostalgia.

Beatifuly drawn anime. I miss those style
I agree. I don't like the new "Bleach" style.

I remember playing this on the early 2000 on my Dreamcast. I was shocked on how good the quality it was. Unfortunately the game was on japanese so i couldnt get so far.
There's a English patch for the original Saturn version if that helps. There's even a chance a patch will come out for the Dreamcast too.
Because this was most expensive Sega game until Shenmue. There is fan translation patch for Sega Saturn version of first game, and for second one is nearly finished. Moders also working now on SW3 translation on Sega Dreamcast.
I've never watched this anime, but growing up there were a lot of videos using this music as background, so this is so nostalgic.
Oh god I remember watching this as a kid damn the nostalgia hit me hard
Me encanta el diseño y el intro.
Me hubiera encantado haberlo jugado en sus años de salida.
Jugando nuevamente este gran titulo en dreamcast nostalgia pura T.T
0:50の右に振ってから左に流れるさくらくん好き（さくらだけみんなとちょっと違う）
Ya lo recorde, el juego de Princess connect usa la misma tonada al inicio de su opening, ya decia yo porque me sonaba.
