| | Sakura Taisen 1 |
 | | They're some of the best darned cast of imaginary people I've ever been introduced to. |
 | | The naive, clumsy yet winsome girl in pink, Sakura; volatile and arrogant aristocrat, Sumire; Maria, the brooding and mysterious gun-wielding Russian; the sweet and insanely powerful child, Iris of France; Kohran, Chinese inventor and (accidental) demolitions expert extraordinaire; and finally, the good-natured and towering martial artist, Kanna. |
 | | To be honest, each girl is an archetypical character at the basic level, but with the deft handling and writing, you'll be too busy being charmed by them to notice the stereotypes. |
