Sakura Wars TV Series 1 (Reviewed 2003-02-10, Updated 2003-11-23)

Based on the console game, the TV series draws on the very first version (have lost count of the number of subsequent versions). This is set in an alternative 1920s setting where the Taisho era didn't all go horribly wrong and Imperial Japan is quite nice and not militaristic or fascist at all. Oh, there was this Great Demonic War just five years ago too and it's Steampunk.
