Cute girls kissing and not much else. For some people, I guess that's enough.

When this anime first came out, I was extremely excited. Being a fan of yuri and not having many good animes to satisfy, Sakura Trick seemed like the first real big anime for the genre. Hoping for a fully fleshed out story with yuri seemed like a stretch, and sadly we did not get that here, but it seemed to make up for it in other aspects.

So, what's Sakura Trick got to offer?

We follow Haruka and Yuu's story, how they handle their attraction to one another both emotionally and physically (mostly physically), and how they try and hide their relationship from their friends (which there's no point to since everyone is kind of gay here). They are very sure about their feelings for one another, no subtext here. They make this clear through dialogue and numerous romantic scenes, and if you're a sucker like me it really does make you feel a little fuzzy inside.

Althought it's really sweet, silly and maybe a little ridiculous at times, it never truly goes "anywhere". Typical slice of life but with lesbians. Very cutesy OST, some of the tunes got stuck in my head. Most characters are likeable but the show focuses on Haruka and Yuu, so don't worry, if you like those two they'll be stealing the spotlight most of the time. It's got goofy moments, heartwarming moments, wtf moments and hot moments, the whole shebang.

I'd say some of the scenes have rewatch quality, but overall, it's just a sweet anime you'll probably want to try at least once.

However, if the first two episodes don't interest you, the rest won't. The show lets you know what it's about right from the start.

Pros:
Pretty art-style
Good, cutesy music
Cute girls
Kissing
Cute girls kissing (eachother!)

Cons:
As it's a slice of life, nothing major happens
Things can seem repetitive at times

My bias score: 7.5/10
Otherwise: 6/10

For a yuri anime, it's one of the best. Definitely something I recommend to a yuri fan.
