Sakura Taisen: Ouka Kenran (サクラ大戦 桜華絢爛) is the first OVA based on the Sakura Taisen franchise. It comprised four parts originally released on VHS and LaserDisc between December 1997 and July 1998.
Ouka Kenran was the first piece of animated material (outside cutscenes in the original Sega Saturn game), and when localised for the US (and later European) markets, became known simply as Sakura Wars.
Ouka Kenran would be followed by a sequel in 1999 in the form of Sakura Taisen: Gouka Kenran.
