Review Sakura Trick



Every episode to be precise


Haruka and Yuu are two girls who are going to a high school that is going to close in three years. To commemorate their first day at school they decide to do something very special, they kiss each other.  
 
Don't you just love anime clone genetics
If you have seen slice of life shows for any time you might have noticed that there is a reoccurring theme of lesbian subtext in said shows. Sakura Trick takes this subtext and ramps it up to the point of being not only obvious but being the selling point of the show. However this show is still a slice of life show as even though the two main characters are in a relationship that relationship doesn’t go anywhere in terms of plot.

That post fondling haze
Sakura Trick is a show that tries to win over the viewers with a combination of warm fuzzy feelings and some fan service. I say some fan service because while there is obvious sexual content it isn’t at the levels that shows that have fan service as their main selling point tend to reach. The humor in Sakura Trick is generally sporadic and not a main draw like in many slice of life shows. Perhaps the greatest problem with the show is that various episodes tend to feel like each other and the novelty of the concept may wear off.

So now we know why this character is so laid back
Overall Sakura Trick is a decent and unique slice of life show even if it is a bit of a one trick pony. 

Rating the bronze lily.
