The capital, Tokyo had regained it peaceful days-----
The captain of the "Imperial Combat Revue, Flower Division", Ichiro Ogami was sent on a job placement to Europe and Sakura Shinguji became the acting captain.
Ogami had returned temporarily to the Flower Division that is struggling day after day, but there was an unknown young girl beside him.
That young girl's name is Clara.
She is the only survivor of the Moscow Assault Force that was annihilated due to a big accident.
After being entrusted to Ogami, Sakura and the others welcomed Clara after being transformed into the Flower Division.

In the midst of the situation, a squad who refer to themselves as the "Moscow Combat Revue" suddenly appear in the capital.

Who is Clara that came from Moscow?
And what is the purpose of the Moscow Assault Force that should have been annihilated before?

The curtain of the new battle of the Flower Division of the Combat Revue is unfolded!

Based on the popular Sakura Taisen (Sakura Wars) franchise and universe, this show is just another way to experience the story of Sakura and the new heroines in the Imperial Combat Revue's Flower Division. This time, the focus is not only on our new team but the latest addition, a Russian child named Clara. However, we still know nothing about her past or why she is so important to the plot, considering both the Russian and the Japanese are fighting over her... while also dealing with giant demons.

So far, the best thing about Shin Sakura Taisen is the impressive character design (and some of the backgrounds), but that's about it. The animation is terrible at times, all characters feel uninteresting and bland, and even after 3 episodes, we still don't know what this mess is about. It's unfortunate to see how dull this anime adaptation turned out to be, but maybe you like it? To each their own!
