MmGS Ver. 2 Vlog - Sakura Wars No Dub (Rant Warning)
0With Yakuza: Like a Dragon confirmed to have English Dub, at the same time, Sakura Wars 2020 did not get an English Dub option due to, "having a barefoot budget:, and I give my thoughts, with a bit of rant.

*This is only a rumor on why beside Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love (Part V) never got released in the West, due to during the 90's anime wasn't mainstream enough and Sega thoughts it wouldn't be marketable. Apologies if it sounded political, but that's what ppl were hearing, again this is only a rumor.
