jennart13 Review of Cardcaptor Sakura

Cardcaptor Sakura (1998–2000)

Always and Forever My Favorite Anime

[10/10 · 21 January 2007]

I was one of the kiddies who, unfortunately, had to see the Kids WB dub "Cardcaptors" before they saw the original. However, I am thankful for the dub in a way, because it introduced me to the original, "Cardcaptor Sakura". As soon as I read about the original, I went to the nearest video store that sold anime and started collecting. At that time, only the first 3 volumes were out. I was only 12 when I started my collection. I'm now 18 and I still absolutely adore the series. I still squeal every time there is a cute moment between Sakura and Syaoran, such as when he shouts her name for the first time in the elevator. This anime has everything that I love. I think Sakura and Syaoran make a wonderful couple, even though it was strange when I first found out they ended up together, considering how much he seemingly hates her at the start. Overall, the storyline is wonderful, the characters are adorable (Kero-chan and his food obsession make me laugh, as do Tomoyo's observations to Syaoran when Eriol first comes), and the animation is great. I believe this is a must-see for everyone who likes magical girl anime.
