Sakura Wars TV - Overture (Vol. 2)
As theSakura Wars TVseries 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 Wakijimechawill undoubtedly be revealed as the plot  thickens. (Rated 12 and older: violence, grotesque imagery)--Charles Solomon
