Sakura is charming, cute, and happy-go-lucky without the saccharine contrivances that usually sink these kinds of protagonists. Frankly, I could not fault the important characters at all and would not have wished them to be developed in any other way for they grew, just like the plot, in very intriguing directions. More than that, each character was realistic in quite serious ways without detracting from the general feel-good factor of the show.

Kero's voice, I have to say, cheered me up the most a lot of his dialogue, which was almost certainly voiced by a woman, was comedy gold.CharactersConsidering the seventy episodes this series had to fill, the central cast was relatively modest, meaning the focus remained upon layering their personalities. As for voice acting, everything was perfectly in order, with no notable weaknesses in the cast. All the songs were highly suitable for the show and helped enhance the various moods and scenarios, but in the end, they were mostly synthesised instrumentals you wouldn't tolerate on their own. Movement was smooth enough and, apart from the fact that it looked marginally dated, there was very little to fault here.SoundI'm not the biggest fan of the first two opening themes or the ending themes and, although the third OP ‘I am a Dreamer' and the material in between were catchy, I would not go as far as buying the soundtrack. Then there was the variety of locations for the conflicts - each one helped map the vast landscape of Sakura's world.
Sakura's battle costumes are different in every episode, making the conflicts just that little bit more entertaining to watch. Card Captor Sakura is that show I watch whenever I want to be left feeling warm and glowing inside, and for that reason I have rewatched several individual episodes, especially those in the last arc, but watching the whole series back to front is unlikely to happen for many, many years.AnimationIn terms of world concept and the details within it, Card Captor Sakura has a brilliant grounding everything from the accessories and utensils in Sakura's house to the imaginative magical battles and the unique looks of the Clow cards (which are sometimes frightening and sometimes beautiful) is a satisfying feast for the eyes. My only complaint here is that, being so many episodes, there is nothing attractive about revisiting the series in its entirety. Moreover, the series delivered an original ending which drew equally upon the strong characterisation and magical plot elements. Some of the emotional turmoil, romance, and plot twists that went on in those twenty odd episodes were executed well. The plot was presented mainly in two interlinking arcs, whereby the second one felt like a definite step up in intensity. In short, Card Captor Sakura, unlike a lot of other long-running series, is seventy episodes for a good reason. In fact, the length allowed for some well-considered developments. Most impressive was the fact that there was no filler - for sure, a handful of episodes were less meaningful than the rest, but none of them were actually pointless or inane.
Trying to figure out which cards were most appropriate became half the fun - a bit like Pokemon but with a redeeming dose of, well, competence. When the conflicts of the series didn't link directly to Sakura's development as a person, they at least provided fun magical battles and an opportunity for mental dexterity on the audience's part. There was certainly no blood, nor were there any flying limbs, but there was enough threat from drowning, being crushed, being thrown off cliffs, and being stabbed (yes, stabbed) to last anyone a lifetime. In truth, the way I see it, nothing was presented here that any 21st century ten-year old could not appreciate, but the show added that extra level of peril and character development to engage also with the mature mind. It maintained an upbeat tone throughout but stopped short of being mindless fluff by exploring the controversial side of life once in a while (hence it being edited to the point of absurdity for Western television). It looks like a typical kids show, but just like you might find with any Ghibli production or Western feature like Finding Nemo, it has a lot to offer adults as well.įor much of the time the series really appealed to my inner child Sakura's perfect life of baking and cheerleading, her quirky friends and action-packed nightlife, were all set up to mirror a young girl's fantasy. Being robustly wholesome, it feeds us all the nutritious stuff like great characterisation and plot twists but also adds some surprising treats such as mature themes and exciting battles.
Stor圜ard Captor Sakura has an indestructible feel-good factor.
