Really? It gets my vote for best animation in a game. I mean,
just look at the opening compared to the Sakura Taisen opening. It's so
much more fluid, so much more colorful, and the CG + anime blend nicely
together.

Haven't beaten it with Iris yet but that's one thing I always mention.
That sakura taisen 2 art is different than sakura taisen. I think Reni +
Orihime look fine. Iris most of the time(freaks the crap outta me with
those in-your-face shots). I don't believe I liked any pose of Sumire's
in ST2. They just made her ugly IMO. Sakura looks a little chubbier, and
sometimes she looks good, other times she doesn't. Kanna and Maria are
for the most part fine. I believe Teigeki Graph has all the Sakura Taisen
2 poses(from the pics I've seen, it doesn't look like they added anything
from ST2's adventure engine). Not to mention Tsubaki was much cuter in
ST.
