Lime-iro Senkitan

Alt titles: Raimuiro Senkitan

Lime-iro Senkitan main image

On February 10, 1904, Japan entered a war with Russia; but Japan, in order to turn the tides, must destroy the Russian Pacific fleet before it is able to bring reinforcements. Battling on the front lines are brave men and women, and a secret team of specially-trained young girls who can control Raimu spirits with their will: the Raimu Unit. Enter Shintaro Umakai - a teacher who has accepted a job aboard the battleship Amanohara to teach the Raimu unit; however, Shintaro discovers his job has far more duties than he first anticipated: he must have sex with the young Kuki so the ship can awaken, he must dodge the sexual advances of his students, he must avert his eyes from Momen's constant accidental panty shots, and most importantly he must assume the role of their new commander once their old one is whisked away by the enemy. There's a war going on - what's a guy to do?

both Sakura wars and Raimuro are set in the same "universe" with approximately the same tme period . Also both animes have the same "story" or lack thereof ^_^ with Girls using "spiritual energy" to fight evil in one and Russians in the other. Another similarity is that both are Romantic warstories, set in an alternate history, and the actual enjoyment of the series is girls and mechs slugging it out, humor and the eye candy rather than story/char dev. please note that both series were derived from H games, and thorughly reflect this

Steel Angel Kurumi

Steel Angel Kurumi main image

It was just a juvenile search for adventure that brought young mystic Nakahito face to face with the android mega-weapon, Kurumi. With just a kiss, she is activated and answers only to him. Now they embark on a comedic journey that will carry them across Japan to discover the secrets of the Steel Angels and how such technology has come to exist before the advent of television. In their travels they will encounter spies, army agents and rogue Steel Angels but the real discoveries lie in the heart of a young teen and the miracle he has awakened with a kiss.

Both of these series feature fighting and strong female characters in steampunk alternate history versions of the Taisho Era (1912 - 1926) of Japan. Visually, this is an interesting period for anime to work with, combining traditional dress, '20s technology, and the growing power of the fascist Japanese Imperial Army. Sakura Wars is much more serious than Kurumi, being based on the video games featuring members of the Teikoku Kagekidan (based on the Takarazuka Kagekidan -- the all-female opera troupe) using steam-powered mecha to fight enemies, and features in-depth characters with involved backgrounds and serious art. Kurumi is very cute and light in tone, being more of a cute anime harem genre anime. The "harem" theme is shared with Sakura Wars, however, as the console games were also dating sims. Fans of the Taisho Era, the harem genre, or nifty steampunk mecha should check out both series.
