What do you mean by "wrong?"

I saw the OAV... it seemed clean to me except for some mild violence and language.

In the area of sexuality, I can't imagine Sakura to be anything but pure. And besides, it's a military unit, so that means no relationships. HAH! But it is Sakura Taisen, I guess.

But no, nothing past a PG-13 rating.

Hey Token, I'm sure you know that they have Kosuke Fujishima doing the character designs right? ;)

I saw the OAV from Netflix. Good stuff, if short.

Yup, Fujishima-sensei did the chara designs. I guess nobody does classy girls like him, eh?

Almost all Sakura anime have been very clean, from what I understand. While the manga could be very different, that would surprise me.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Nah, I doubt Fujishima-sensei would let that happen to his creations. All of his stuff has been generally tasteful.

Okay, there is a little bit of violence in Sakura Taisen, but nothing worse than say... Gundam W. I know all these young kids these days like Gundam W, so most people can probably take Sakura Taisen. (although I was never clear if the dubbed Gundam shows were uncut or not)

Urd is pretty tame by today's standards and remains that way.
