The listing, Sakura Wars TV - Overture (Vol. 2) new has ended.
As the Sakura Wars TV series continues, two absent members rejoin The Imperial Flower Combat Troupe: karate champion Kanna Kirishima and klutzy engineer Kohran Ri. Kohran teaches Sakura to synchronize her heart with the heart of the mecha in which she fights; Lt. Ohgami builds team spirit among his fractious charges by insisting they cook and eat their meals together. These unorthodox methods pay off as women of the Troupe learn to put aside personal differences and work as a unit, which they must do to fight the rapidly multiplying villains. In addition to Crimson Miroku, Setsuna, a sadistic little mind-reader appears, accompanied by the gigantic Rasetsu. Even more threatening is a sinister swordsman who cleaves a stone in two. How these heavies relate to the destructive Wakiji mecha will undoubtedly be revealed as the plot thickens. (Rated 12 and older: violence, grotesque imagery) --Charles Solomon
