Well, downloaded them... listened to them... thought about killing myself
after hearing them... etc... etc... hehehe... But seriously, I thought
they were "okay" (if I had to give a rating, I whould say 2-2 1/2 out of 5).
Don't know if I would be able to stand to watch the whole Sakura Wars OVAs
without wanting to stop the tape every few minutes though. Anyway, I'll
have to admit the VAs tried their best to give ST the best credit possible
but just failed (They just don't give Sakura Wars enough "justice"). Yoneda
sounded to "young" for my taste, Kanna was a little on the "okay side",
Kouran had way too much of an accent (IMO), Iris was okay, Sumire sounded
too strange (can't think of the right words), Maria was okay too, Ayame
can't really say, Sakura was pretty bad (not as bad as Kouran's VA, but
close), and Oogami (once again) can't really say. So to wrap everything up,
my personal opinion on the DUB Sakura Wars would be to rent at best, but/and
buy if you want screen caps (and can afford to waste a little cash).
