Sakura Wars OVA 3: Ecole de Paris
Summary
Ohgami goes to Paris to train and guide a new group of girls who have spirit energy.
Review
This third OVA introduces the Paris Division, with the same basic story, but a new cast of characters. Once again, the girls hide their identities by performing on stage when they aren't fighting. A lot of this OVA is spent showing the characters come together to form the Paris Fighting Troupe. It does jump a little forward in time between episodes, but it's easy to follow.
In the first episode we are introduced to the main female character, Erica. We get to see her practicing in her Kobu F and performing at the Chattes Noires in her skin-tight cat girl outfit. Later, she meets the rich and beautiful girl Glycine while in town. Erica realizes that Glycine also has spirit energy when she helps Erica fight a demon. I thought this was the best episode in the OVA.
I didn't enjoy the second episode all that much. Nearly the entire episode is spent showing the Paris City Police trying to capture the jewel thief Lobelia, which isn't as exciting as it could have been. After she is finally captured, she is offered to join the Paris Fighting Troupe and every time they mobilize it would shorten her jail sentence. The third episode starts off with Ohgami writing a letter to Manager Yoneda in Japan about the girls he is now working with. Later, Ohgami and Erica get a pretty cool fight sequence in their Koubu F's.
The animation looks decent for the most part but at times it can look a little on the cheap side. The first, and especially the second, OVA series look a lot nicer than this one. The Kobu F's are done in CG, and I have to say that I like the way they look. There isn't an opening, but each episode does have a different ending song.
The cast hasn't had nearly enough time to be developed, and two of the girls hardly get any screen time at all. The Paris Fighting Troupe hasn't quite captured what the Imperial Fighting Troupe has, but then again this is only just the beginning.

Content 
Very little profanity.
Violence
Some robot fighting, and a demon gets sliced up in the first episode.
Sex
A short shower scene with Erica, but she covers herself with her hand in the right places. Some talk about what "guys and girls do in bed."
