ah yes. sakura trick. thats one i havent thought about in a good couple of years.
little eight year old me found this anime and was absolutely mesmerised. yes, this anime was quite literally my gay awakening.
....then why am i writing a bad review? well when this anime suddenly popped into my mind again i thought to myself "....wait...this anime was...so weird."
of course, i am no longer eight years old. now, being almost a teenager, my mind and opinions has grown and matured with me. and what is my opinion on this show? it's mediocre at best and weird and fetishy and worst.
this show holds such a special place in my heart, as mentioned beforehand, but i simply cannot say that this show is good nor do i recommend it to anyone okay, the plot. i havent watched this anime in a good three y…

So this is the first review I write here on MAL and surely you are asking "Why do you write a review for an anime which aired almost five years ago?"
I know we have already July 2019 and Sakura Trick aired in Winter 2014, so almost five years past already. I am not a guy who is good at writing reviews or generally writes a lot. Maybe no one will ever see my review about Sakura Trick, but my intention is not to compare my review with the one's from other users. I have already seen some very good reviews about Sakura Trick and they have written a lot about it.
So why will my frist review on MAL about Sakura Trick?
First of all I usually only watch animes with MOE, CGDCT. My favorite genres are comedy and slice of life. I don't really like those classic action animes which everybody have…

There are some animes that have a awesome story, breathtaking art and visuals, extremly well developped characters, and thoses animes are sure to be critically acclaimed as an 10/10 masterpiece must-watch anime. And thoses animes deserves it.
But Sakura Trick is something else.
There isn't a leading thread to the plot.
The visuals are suitable, but not great.
The character do not revolutionize anything.
But it's an anime that I found so enjoyable and entertaining, that never bored me, with characters that are so cute, that I must give it an 10/10.
If I should summarize what this anime made me feel, let's just say that it gave my dick and my hearth a boner at the same time.

To be perfectly honest i don't understand the mediocre reviews on this. At the time of writing this has a 7.17 when i feel this should have around an 8-9.
This is honestly a good and funny show to watch. The group of friends we see are all fun and interesting in there own way and they all have someone that they fit really well with. But this right here could be seen as a problem. There are duo's that should be couples together but some aren't while the others are. I guess what i'm trying to say is that some are never in an official relationship while 1 or 2 feel like they should.
HarukaxYuu
KaedexYuzu
KotonexShizuku
YuukaXRina
These are the group of people that best go together but duo's such as Kaede and Yuzu are kind of teased as being a couple while Yuuka and Rina seem to be perfect f…

It has lesbians in it, but they didn't fuck hard enough with their blurry parts in the first episode so i would give this a 12.1 on the richter scale. i like the part where the yuri and the have no but japansese cartoons are very ok when they have chinese subtitles and russiandub at the same time in korea. how long do i need to make this i can't even think of anymore words i know, so heres a funny joke- hector is mexican 9/11 lesbians fishcats. ok still more words so heres the review
story- what, i thought this was hentai
outstanding 10- art, not as good as the TOH sprites
sounds- im deaf
characters- kawaii personalities
enjoyment- im empty inside

When it comes to Yuri I try to avoid them because of the possible chance that it could cross the line between Ecchi and P**n, and I do not watch anime for that reason.
Sakura Trick was the first Yuri that I went into fully aware of it being a yuri, because of what I had seen around the internet and heard from other people. I was greeted with something that I believe could almost be a kid show in my opinion. Homosexuality is a very touchy subject and not everyone agree's with it in one way or another. But Sakura Trick did something with it that made it seem like it could be watched by basically anyone (Without Homophobia,of course). Yes, the show has two girls just starting High school kissing each other... a lot and not with reason you might expect from a yuri anime. The anime itself when…

Story: perfect, from the beginning to the end. Each episode bring the same enjoyment, and we follow the story step by step. Haruka and Yuu make us feel plenty of feelings.
Art: beautiful.
Sound: the OST is wonderfull, I can't stop listening to the opening.
Character: Haruka and yuu are just perfect, and the other characters are really good too. Some are funny, some are serious, but each of them has his own story. This is not only about the main characters, this is about their whole life, including their relations with their friends and family.
Enjoyment: In first I ws only watching a funny yuri, but once you get into the story this become a firework of feelings, and you can do nothing but enjoy each episode until the last seconde.
Overall: truly a good anime that made me feel a bit em…

Sakura Trick is a refreshingly different Slice of life show, it throws away the concept of static timelines often seen in SOL shows, there is continuity between each episode and changes in each character and their relationships, minor or major, can be felt together with the passage of time.
The show presents to us a cast of multifaceted characters and the relationships they share, not solely romantic bonds, but also the ties between friends and between sisters.
What I loved most in the show was how it built on its characters. Sakura Trick avoids the use of heavy dialogue and inner monologue as a means of developing it's characters. Instead, the characters change subtly with the happenings of each episode, leaving space for interpretation on the part of the viewer as well as giving it a…

~A personal journey into the world of forbidden love, buried under a pink veil~
On the surface, Sakura Trick doesn't seem like the kind of anime to have many unique or redeeming elements. Its vibrant, predominately pink colour scheme and slice of life presentation will impress nobody from a glance. With the further belittlement of the Shoujo and Yuri tag associations, its no wonder that few come to appreciate Sakura's delicacy.
A lot of Sakura's strength is in its simplicity. It is an uplifting representation of Shoujo, that ironically plays no tricks. Its straightforward almost to a protesting, influential extent, and it exposes the genre from a multitude of viewpoints...
From the predictable Yuri-like intimacies, to the more heartfelt emotional friction between the characters - it may…

Sakura Trick is a weird one.
For starters, if you dont enjoy yuri at all, it wont reccomend you to try this one out.
The main focus is yuri fanservice after all. There is a story with romance, BUT, the way it is executed is poorly most of the times. So again dont like yuri?! SKIP THIS!
Now, I said it was a yuri fanservice, so what can you expect, if you do enjoy yuri like myself??
Every episode is divided by 2 mini episodes, most of the times, each has a different kind of mini arc story going on.
And for the most part, in each of these mini episodes, you can expect some hot yuri scene, there is no mature content here. but the anime doesnt really need it to show its yuri colours, and if you enjoy those, you gonna love when those happen, be flustered even. Honestly some may think of it,…

Something that I find fairly interesting about Sakura Trick is the title itself. What comes to mind when "Sakura Trick" is uttered? Sakura, which is a flower with a lovely shade of bright pink, and trick, a fake-out of sorts, which may contain mischievous undertones. What was the inspiration for the name of this title? Every time I see this title, I can't help but feel like I'm about to stumble upon a beautiful disaster, or a "sakura-colored trick," if you will. Of course, the term "trick" can also be defined in other ways, but for the purpose of stating an argument, the previously stated definition will be used.
The "trick" in this case, would be the underlying messages that accompany Sakura Trick. On the surface, this title is about two girls who attend a school that is slated to be clo…

Breh, it's yuri... well... sadly, that is the case for the anime XD. I personally enjoy yuri to a very great extent which was one of the saving graces of this anime. I truly believe this anime was just all about how many kiss scenes and how many yuri love doki doki moments they could have. And honestly, I'm fine with that, it's just that you can never take an anime seriously like that and that's also fine. But just don't expect some amazing story and plot development, just expect a LOT, of beautiful yuri moments. And trust me, you will be so happy ;)

Sakura Trick is a yuri anime from this year, started in January finished in March. The manga it's based on was written and drawn by Tachi and the anime version was handled by Studio Deen. Studio Deen has done several yuri series/ series with heavy yuri content before. Including Maria sama ga Miteru, Yamibo and Simoun. So far, none of these series have been bad, although some have come closer than others. That being said, Studio Deen has done some pretty egregious anime in other genres. Such as Kore wa Zombie desu ka. Still, they do have a pretty good record so I'm cautiously optimistic about this one.
Story:
Our story begins with a group of students entering their first year of High School. Haruka and Yuu, two girls who attended Middle School together, end up in the same class, but on o…

II think the yuri animes that I have watched and I know have bunch of people in one place that are lesbians. Those animes are so unrealistic to the extent and it makes me grin in amusement. They exclude straight people right off the bat and fully focus only in the yuri part. Sakura Trick has a realistic touch that might happen to some of the people around their ages, or even older.
The storyline is fairly good; the slice of life comes in and realistic in some ways. We see high school student’s daily lives and ups and downs can be seen in this anime, then how they struggle to their upcoming exams. Not only hets can engage into relationships, but also two of the same sex. Why I said it was realistic? Out 10 people at least 2 or 3 are into homosexuals. Sakura Trick did that seeing Haruka and…

This right here is a cult classic, a chef d'oeuvrea buried under erroneous preconceptions and unfounded criticism. This gem is obscured because it does not shine; it is buried because its tone is that of abyssal black. Sakura Trick pries into to the darkest corners of our subconscious, the most visceral of our cognition, the most carnal of our urges, and the most primal of our instincts. Its sublimity will ever be debated yet always remain objectively irrefutable; the fundamental insight it provides into human and perhaps animalistic nature may shape the basis of sexual psychoanalysis for millennia to come.
Superficially, Sakura Trick appears to be an anime which caters to the most lowly and deprived among men; conceited critics dismiss it as such often without a second thought. As self-…

This is coming from a girl who is much more fascinated with Shoujo-Ai/Yuri more than Shounen-Ai/Yaoi/Bara.
Sakura Trick is a nice surprise at the beginning of 2014, i had mixed feelings about this at first, but it was nice change of things. It was the first Shoujo-Ai anime i have watched since i finished Aoi Hana, and no, it's not implied Shoujo-Ai nor did it just give Shoujo-Ai undertones, it was 100% Shoujo-Ai all the way.
Art - 8: I gave it an 8 because i rarely care about the art, as long as it was watchable i'm fine with it. Visual were okay, though the anime's fluidity wasn't that good, not mediocre, mind you.
Sound - 7: To be honest, the OP was cute, it had me singing along some times, but the BGM was very forgettable.
Character- 8
Haruka - "The Air-head Main Character" - she st…

My love for this anime is endless!
It's filled with fluff and moe characters who look at least 5 years younger than their actual age, like so many other animes, but still it manages to set itself apart.
What I really like about this anime is the fact that a romantic relationship between two girls is not seen as completely normal, because this gives it a more realistic touch, unlike animes like Strawberry Panic! where literally everyone is a lesbian.
The anime nicely balances the 'oh, nobody should know, since we're both girls' and the general development of one's first romantic relationship, like 'What should I expect from my partner, and what does they expect from me?'

This was a refreshing look at semi-realistic high school relationships, particularly lesbian relationships. The characters were all quirky and unique, and I enjoyed each of them in their own ways. (except maybe Kotone and Shizuku) The jokes were nearly always funny, and the show did not overdo the yuri fanservice, and instead gave us genuine character interactions which made us love each of them more. This is easily my favorite Studio Deen work, and at this point, my favorite show of the winter season.

At the start of the season, Sakura Trick came in strong. While there has been tons of yuri undertones in anime, characters with physically intimate relationships are still pretty rare, so seeing two high school girls locking fingers and making out was what one would consider "the bees knees", and animation segues in vain of Hidamari Sketch, and even the same DIRECTOR? Hell yeah. Sign me up. This could never get tiring, right?
Turns out, it takes a mere half a season for it to go from a novelty to a daily routine. After a dozen and half make out sessions, they stop meaning anything and begin to seem like a time filler. Beyond LESBIANS~, you are stuck with a cast of characters who are, quite frankly, dull as dishwater. Too much time is squandered away on Haruka, Yuu, and Mitsuki, and the re…

Romance and comedy comes together quite well! This is a rare occasion that I've watched a "yuri" genre series. But this series is a lot more than just that. Friendship, caring for one another, and being there for one another is what I got most out of this series. Sure it's nice to see cute girls kissing but this series does a great job of not focusing on that. The kisses are well placed so that the story itself is not interrupted. It's a great story! The art and music are fantastic, and the character development is superb. It's very cute, and also leaves you wanting more! Overall, this series is quite unique, and is different. It was a nice change up. : D I do wish there were more episodes for sure.
