Just watched this...May contain spoilers


So, Sakura Diaries.
I have to say firstly I saw the dubbed in English version of this, Perhaps as with most anime's I should of gone for Subtitles but none the less I'm pretty sure it effected my opinion on the series.

It was another one of those "Young man trying to get into a good University to please girl/family/vanity" animes, though judging by the age of this one it was probably the first, nevertheless.

I found myself wanting to skip to the end of the episode in most cases with Sakura Diaries. It was probably a mix of the bad voice dubbing and the fact that I felt no real bond with any of the characters. Sure it was noticeable that Urara(?) was getting ignored in some ways and whatnot but never really did much.

Then out of nowhere there is what can be described as an attempted rape scene? What on earth was that all about!

Anyway, Though the animation was well done and I'm sure the story would fit some peoples tastes it didn't fit mine. There was a lot of "Fan Service" which some people may think it ups the title but not in my case.
Even the ending seemed a bit of the same old.

Anyway, In my opinion 4 out of 10.

Yeah, that rape - or attempted rape - scene came out of nowhere. I couldn't see how they'd dismiss that later on.
