While it was more lighthearted than i would have preferred, this was still very stimulating ... i mean enjoyable to watch, it was pretty funny at times, had more kissing than the past 500 anime i've watched combined, had pretty much no drama and nothing that would annoy me either (which is kinda rare).
This show is pretty underrated, only those who expected something other than what it is would rate it so low. i gave it a 8/10.
So if a lighthearted romance with loads of kissing (between girls) sounds good to you then wait no longer.
(would love to see a more serious version of this with a more serious plot, or just more of it)

A simple, cute, relaxing and even heartwarming story devoid of any malice about girls who practice and eventually kinda master the art of kissing. As such, it contains delightfully passionate and delicate kissing scenes. It is aimed at the specific portion of fans within the shoujo ai community, and to a lesser extent, the yuri community, myself included, that just love and care for this type of fanservice.
Nonetheless, it is just kissing. There is little progress both romantically and physically, that is, the actual romance only shows up at the very end, and the girls never go beyond kissing, the reason why this is not real yuri, as some claim.
All things considered, this is one of those niche series which targets a very specific subset of viewers, and it does what it does very well. Those viewers outside that subset, however, including shoujo ai fans expecting actual romance and yuri fans expecting a more erotic, mature approach, may want to look somewhere else.

The best yuri-themed anime I've seen, with great yuri art, even if the lesbian relationships are nothing beyond petty and overly simplistic. There's no major emotional movement in this rec-- well, unless you count the movement in your pants

An anime about.....kissing, nothing other more, but basically i have liked it, if you want something more deep, then watch Sasameki Koto or Strawberry Panic, i recommend this one

Sakura Trick starts with lots of potentialities but, somehow, it lose them during the episodes... Don't misunderstand me: it's a lovely series and the discovering of the meaning of love it's a big step for Haruka and Yuu, but... I'd have wanted for more! Anyway, highly recommended!

A confusing series. It had a lot of potential when it started, and the comedy kept it interesting enough to finish without any problems, but it has a sort of half-hearted feel to it, like it couldn't decide what it wanted to be. There's something resembling romance but not enough to make it a true romance anime, there's comedy but not enough to make it a comedy anime, and ditto for fanservice and drama elements. There was another recommendation that I think really nailed it: "for fans of yuri". It might only be skin-deep in any given area, but it was entertaining enough to be a worthwhile watch as long as girls kissing every five minutes doesn't annoy you.

Adorable shoujo ai series. Has some good funny and sweet moments. Lovely series overall. It either hooks you in on the first episode or doesn't.

Very cute yuri anime. Not much subtext, at least with main characters, and hardly any ecchi... Very enjoyable watch and highly recommended for fans of cute or yuri shows. Definitely on my numerous watches list.

They were adopted as a fashion which flattered plump calves and also expressed rebellious deviation from Japan`s strict dress code for school uniforms.

Sasameki Koto is slightly more focused on romance and a love triangle while Sakura Trick focuses more on comedy, when it comes to the sepcific aspects of shoujo-ai in their plot.
