  • My most favourite Magical Girl Anime of all time!

    "Perfect"
    By Slinkgirl95, Mar 18, 2012
    This is definately one of my most favourite Magical Girl Anime of all time. This is probably one of the most original Magical Girl shows I've ever watched. I grew up watching CardCaptors, the English dub, until watching it in the original Japanese version on youtube, and I fell in love with the show.

    So, this show is about a girl named Sakura Kinomoto who is your average 4th grader who is good at gym class but hates maths. She comes home one day from school and hears a strange noise in the basement where she comes across a mysterious book, full of magical cards. She picks up the first card which reads, "The Windy" and says the name and then a gust of wind appears and blows the rest of the other cards away. Kero, the guardian of the book, is awakened, who makes Sakura the CardCaptor, whose duty is to collect the various missing Clow Cards by using a magical staff known as the Sealing Wand. With the help of Shaoran Li, a transfer student who appears later and falls in love with Sakura, Meiling Li, Sharoan's cousin, and Tomoyo, Sakura's best friend who makes Sakura costumes to wear and videos her battles with the Clow Cards, Sakura fights the Clow Cards and seals them away in order to prevent an unknown catastrophe that will fall upon the world.
    I loved the fights with the Clow Cards and I particularly did not hate any of the Clow Cards, though there were some strange ones like the Move, which just moves objects. I love the characters in this show, especially Sakura. She's one of my most favourite Magical Girls. I loved the background music, much better than the music you got in the dub. It's very Magical Girl-ish, and just fits perfectly. I loved the animation in this show, from Sakura flying on the Sealing Wand to her summoning the Sealing Wand to her using or transforming a Clow Card. I loved how the show was not always repetitive, like there was always a catch to the cards; for example, in episode 4, Sakura finds two Clow Cards in the house but forgets to sign her name on them and they go loose in the house. Another episode was episode 6 where the Illusion Card appears and Sakura thinks it may be her deseased mother. The plots were creative and good, the characters were cute and charming, the music was fitting and the artwork was great.
    Overall, this was a very good Magical Girl anime. If you're into Magical Girl anime, ten this is a really good show for you to watch.moreless

    I really like this show. This show is about Sakura Kinomoto, an average 4th grade school girl who is good at gym class. One day, Sakura discovers a book in her father's library. This book happens to be a Clow Card book. Kero, the beast of the seal awakens, and tells Sakura to find the Clow Cards. Sakura, and friends go on many spellbinding adventures together. The dialog in this show is really good! The episodes are well done, and the some of the humor is really funny. I like it when Sakura steps on her brother's foot. I always think that part is really funny. The music is show is awesome! I like the themes of the show. The characters in this show ROCK! The characters are sooo cute, and have a well balanced lifestyle. Most of these characters are also in Tsubasa: Reservior Chronicle. Overall, awesome show, cute lovable characters, fun music, excellent dialog, lots a' magic. I would recommend this show to anyone.moreless

    Intro:
    Card Captor Sakura is one of my favourite shows of all time and my favourite Anime one. It features a cast of very lovable characters from the cute and perky Sakura to the serious, but soft-hearted Shaoran Li.

    Story 10/10:
    Card Captor Sakura follows the journey of a young girl, Sakura Kinomoto, who lives in Japan and attends fourth grade at school. She discoveres a book full of magical cards in her basement adn accidently lets them escape, it then becomes her job to recover them and in the process becomes the worlds only Card Captor. The story is very engaging, exciting and has quite numerous twists and turns to keep you interested through all three seasons!

    Characters 10/10:
    The show, as previously mentioned, features the main character of Sakura Kinomoto. She lives the life of a fairly typical fourth grader until she discovers the mgaic Clow Cards and her world turns upsidedown. She has an annoying brother by the name of Toya who seems to fnd work at every job in Japan and a loving father who is a professor. Her mother died when she was very little, but does not remember much about her. She is also in love with Toya's best friend Yukito, but he is quite a few years older than her. Her best friend at school is Tomoyo who is the daughter of a sucessful bussiness woman and is obssessed with filming Sakura on her Cam Corder. Soon into the show you will also meet Cereberos or Kero the guardian of the Clow Cards. He is your fairly typical Japanese Anime show mascot and follows Sakura in her adventures. You will also meet Shaoran and Meilin Li not long into the show who are cousins from Hong Kong and are also after the Clow Cards.

    Animation Style 10/10:
    The animation is very well done in Card Captor Sakura and very enjoyable to watch. Facial expressions are great and will often have you laughing in some situations. Each character also has their own unique style and dress sense which really stes them apart and makes them interesting. Everything has been beautifully draw and is wonderful to watch!

    Flow 10/10:
    Card Captor Sakura flows very well and you'll never feel like you're just being fed fillers in episode. Each episode will achieve something greater if you look hard such as relationships between chracters or twists and turns in the story. You won't be getting bored in episodes!

    Outro 10/10:
    Card Captor Sakura is a truly great show and whilst aimed more at young children, all ages will thoughroughly enjoy it. If you are an anime fan you owe it to yourself to watch this show!moreless

    Cardcaptor Sakura is another of my favorite anime! Back in 2000, however, I wasn't interested in it when it was airing on Kids WB, sine I was into Pokemon. Later around 6 years later, I decided to get into the Japanese Version and I liked it. The characters (Mostly female characters) were greatly designed and perfectly animated. Back when I decided to watch it, which was after I tried another anime, which didn't work out, I wanted to watch a kids like anime, which was this one. I have seen all 70 episodes, two movies and the three specials by now and I still watch them. I don't know what to say about the clow cards and the guardians. Still I like this anime.moreless
