Summary: Very enjoyable from the start!
Review: I really enjoyed this anime series. I picked it up on impulse, and was drawn in on the story. The story (I watched it in jap. with eng. subtitles) made me feel connected to the characters, and I wanted them to be happy. I cannot compare it to any other anime romantic comedies, for I have seen none. The first time I saw the ending I was heartbroken, but the second time through, I realized it ending with a feeling of hope for Urara and Toumi.

Summary: Not For Everybody Though
Review: Not For Everybody Though.... Sakura Diaries is sorta like a dating game (aka Cannon). The only diffeence is theres adult script content; in terms of story for age age group appeal and of course there is a bit of fanservice. Some may be totally off by it. Best advice get one loose of the DVD's before you commit to the Box Set. Overall I did find Sakura Diaries highly enjoyable and refreshing in some sense.

Summary: offbeat romantic comedy
Review: Sakura Diaries is a gorgeous anime to watch. The character designs are quite nice with bright vivid colours. However the dub job is absolutely terrible...the heroine (of sorts) sounds like a reject from Alvin and the Chipmunks. Please watch this with the sub track. Also note that this version is much better then the individual dvd disc release (if anything the CE is unedited). As for the story it's a classic girl loves boy who loves another girl. if you like risque romantic stories then you'll enjoy this title

Summary: Average Show, but Good Value
Review: Sakura Diaries revolves around three characters. Urara loves Touma, but Touma wants to date Mieko. Mieko will only data a college student, so Touma crams for the entrance exams while pretending to already be in college. The story is far more serious than anime like Tenchi and Ranma. This series was originally released as 4 DVDs. It was later discovered that two versions of the show existed, so ADV decided to release the second version as a box set. The material in this version is a little more risque than the original (i.e. it's not for kids). ADV redid the subtitles for this release, and by all accounts, the new subtitles are more accurate. However, there is no English dub on this version. If you hate subtitles, this release isn't for you. If subtitles don't bother you, this is a great value--you get over 4 hours of animation.

Summary: Gosh, I **love** this series
Review: Since I am new to the Anime world - hunting hi and low for a series I would enjoy with real human emotion was difficult to find...but "Sakura Diaries" delivered.
Once you get past the first episode, this story line should really grab you and warm your heart with these characters. Please note: There are a few sexual situations (not graphic) and nudity here and there...so its definately more for the "16 and up" crowd.
I won't go into the plot of it, since you can read other reviews on it - but I found this series to be enchanting and emotional. Its very funny, sad in parts, and shows REAL human emotion. Don't worry - no science fiction or monsters in *this* one...But if you want a story told with care and tenderness - this is for you. You will love all these characters, even if you don't agree with them - but you can certainly understand their point of view.
The only downside is the series wraps up and doesn't seem to leave you with a final ending...but the more I think of it - isn't LIFE kind of like that ????
Excellence in all aspects. You'll love it, and it might even teach you a few things.

Summary: interesting, but overkill
Review: The storyline, while on the surface, is not much more than your average boy-meets girl-the meets girl from his past love triangle, isn't too bad- it actually features some moral dilemmas and shows everyone involved acting like idiots at times. The animation is well-done and expressive, and the transfer to DVD is pretty good. However, the collectors edition (and I'll assume the series itself has some flaws)- the Japanese dub is awful at times....some voices really do sound like something from "The Chipmunks." also, the CE has ALOT of fanservice, moreso than the original DVDs of the series. Alot. Let me repeat that. Alot of fanservice. It's funny at first, but it does wear very thin after the first few episodes. Those two things kept this from getting 4 stars, or maybe even 5. I won't out & out reccomend the movie, but you could do much worse.
