During a recent livestream, SEGA announced that the anime based on the Project Sakura Wars game will premiere in April 2020. They also released a new video on Twitter and teased that the series will feature the Moscow Assault Force. ?新映像公開?アニメ『サクラ大戦 the Animation』2020年4月放送開始！#新サクラ大戦 #サクラ大戦 pic.twitter.com/Kc4yikrhO1— サクラ大戦公式@SEGA (@Sakura_Taisen) December 11, 2019 The entire main cast of the game, including Ayane Sakura, Yohei Azakami and Maaya Uchida, will reprise their roles for the show. Manabu Ono of Sword Art Online: Alicization and The Asterisk War directs the anime at Sanzigen studio. Tatsuhiko Urahata is collaborating with Ono to write the scripts, after the pair have previously worked together on the Saki and Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere anime. But fans of the games will be particularly excited that Kohei Tanaka, composer for the whole Sakura Wars game franchise, is also composing the anime’s score. The Project Sakura Wars game only launches in the west in spring 2020, so if you gamers want to get caught up, you might just be able to squeeze it in before the anime airs.
