    A heart touching story

    Watching this series for the first time I am still sitting here in front of my PC not believing it is over. The story was so real and the daily life problems of the people so, so, well so much like mine I feel like I have looked into a mirror. The strange thing for me was that I thought I would have related more to Touma, the male lead, but in fact I related to Urara the most. With out telling to much of the plot it is hard to say much but that her confusion and pain dealing with life is done so very real it will truly hurt your heart to watch her.

    This series does a great job of giving the viewer a look into the inner drives and thoughts of each player in the story that even when they are behaving badly, which they often do, you can't help but feel for them and wish them the best. If you are looking for an anime that will truly touch your heart and one you will make you look at your one life and what drives you. Sakura Diaries is your anime.

    The only thing I did not like about the series is that it had to end. :D 5 out of 5 stars

    Such a heartfelt tender anime

    I just finished watching Sakura Diaries on a whim after "Strange Love" thinking it was going to be another sexy girls anime.

    Instead I found of the most hearttouching and funny romance anime ever!!!! It was soo much more for just 12 episodes!! So real for university students! I could feel the pain of the MC Tonma Inaba! 😭 His desire for the most gorgeous girl ever and the burden of entrance exams...

    I literally watched the first 10 episodes in one night...

    The animation was so good, the expressions of the hot girls were gorgeous especially Mieko, who is maybe the most GORGEOUS, breathtakingly beautiful and sexy anime girl I've ever seen, and drama is so gripping! The tender moments of the cast with their friends against the heartrendingly, mellow japanese soap opera background music of the time was so touching....

    FINAL EPISODE full disclosure: (Spoliers) Now I need the Meiko and Tonma romance rekindling scene... there MUST be a season 2!! Please it cant end like this!! 11:14 that talk of Mashu and Meiko about both being drawn to Tonma was so touching... 15:20 Meiko's monologue over the phone about what she loves about Tonma was beautiful. I sincerely hope Meiko and Tonma reunite. It was a beautiful story so far in any case. The little moments when talking to their friends and Tonma searching for love and success was so beautiful with the music.... Please there has to be more!!! 😭😭😭 2:58am - 3:18am, 6.4.2025.

    Anime Bliss

    Sakura Diaries is one of the best animes i have ever seen, the story is very well done, the animations are top notch, and if i said what i truly liked about it i would be spoiling the 12 episode series.

    But i can say this, this is a romantic comedy.......... A WELL DONE ROMANTIC COMEDY!! This isn't one of those J-Lo movies, this romantic comedy is worth taking a look at.If your into anime as much as me, and i think you are you'll find sakura diaries a whole lot of fun and quite possible, a must buy for the anime collection.

    I give sakura Diaries.....

    • Trivia
      Based on a twenty volume manga series by U-Jin.
    • Alternate versions
      A censored version of the series was made for late-night Japanese TV broadcast, where bras and panties were added to cover up nudity. This version ended up being mistakenly released in the US by ADV Films spread over 4 volumes on VHS and bilingual DVD. After complaints from fans, ADV acquired the original unedited version of the show (which was owned by a different company in Japan) and released it in a 2-disc DVD set with re-translated subtitles and without a dub track. A dub was not made of the uncut version until 2005, included in a re-release spread over 2 separate DVD volumes.
