Sure!
My Japanese anime sensei also happens to be a serious anime-game otaku as
well. He bought the game within a week or so of its release and was truly
enamored of it- not just because of the story and experience, but because of
the many high-end anime and manga talents behind it.
Only about a month after he'd begun playing it, he surprised me by sending
me Sakura Taisen as a Christmas present in 1996- and I was irrevocably
hooked from that point on- and I became a Sakura Taisen evangelist <g>. The
vocal collection, artbook, strategy guides, and Hanagumi Tsushin and
Hanagumi Taisen Columns followed soon after.
