In 1930, two years after the events of So Long, My Love, the Great Demon War results in the annihilation of the Imperial, Paris and New York Combat Revues' Flower Divisions. With Earth at peace and the revues' actions becoming public, the World Combat Revue Organization is formed with several international divisions; a biennial international Combat Revue tournament has been organized.
Ten years later in 1940, Imperial Japanese Navy captain Kamiyama Seijuurou is assigned as the captain of the new Imperial Combat Revue's Flower Division in Tokyo, which consists of: Amamiya Sakura, a swordswoman and new recruit; Shinonome Hatsuho, a shrine maiden and the most popular actress; Anastasia Palma, a newly-transferred Greek actress; Mochizuki Azami, a ninja prodigy from the Mochizuki clan; and Clarissa "Clarise" Snowflake, a Luxembourgian noblewoman. The division once again faces a new demon invasion and participates in the upcoming tournament – while trying to keep their home at the Imperial Theater open.

Where it came from
Sakura Wars the Animation was produced by studio SANZIGEN and released in 2020 as a direct tie-in to the 2019 soft reboot of the Sakura Wars video game franchise. Set in an alternate 1940s Tokyo, the series follows the new Imperial Combat Revue as they protect the city from supernatural threats. This adaptation moved the franchise into a fully 3D CG aesthetic, marking a significant visual departure from the hand-drawn animation style of the original 1990s and early 2000s series.
The production sought to modernize the long-running steampunk-inspired franchise while maintaining the theatrical spirit and character archetypes defined by creator Oji Hiroi. The transition to computer-generated animation was intended to capture dynamic action sequences consistent with the 2019 game's combat mechanics. While the series was highly anticipated by longtime fans of the brand, it received a mixed critical reception, with observers often noting the challenges of translating the series' distinct, lighthearted character charm into the medium of contemporary digital animation.
