Cardcaptor Sakura

Hi people's!! Yes, i am back again. Like i said i will be spamming reviews for the next few weeks as i would not have the time after school reopen. The topic of today would be ''Cardcaptor sakura''!! :] Okay, some of you may find it pretty childish or lame , thinking ''why the hell would be people talk about this''. Let me tell you this, card captor sakura plays a very important role in my childhood. I should say it is a part of my childhood. So i would want to share this awesome anime and also this part of my memories to you people !! :D The name tells it that the main character is a girl and a young one. So you cant expect some women with awesome body fighting. I would say that this show is awesome even for a kid fighting. It has something to do with magic, fightings, school life, fantasy and of course a bit of romance. It has a total of 70 episodes and 2 movies. My ratings for this anime is 8/10 .






















The story starts off with an ordinary 4th grader Kinomoto sakura. She was just a normal girl until one day where she open up a strange book and let out tons of magical strong cards. At the same time, the guardian of the clow cards, keroberos also awakens for his deep sleep. He then tells sakura that now is her responsibilities to find and capture the freed cards. In order to do that, she must first learn how to control and use her newly awaken magical powers. However, much to her dismay, capturing the cards is no easy task as each of the cards has its own thinking and strong powers. Not only that, she has to learn how to cope with her own troubles such as school, love, family, friends and also her new responsibility. With the help and support of her best friend, Tomoyo and a li shaoran a descendant of clow reed who is the creator of the clow cards, she must embark on a dangerous journey to find and collect the missing clow cards. With each encounter, the journey gets tougher and tougher.



The 2 movies in this anime is a must watch. It is actually a part of the main story i should say. The first movie, ''Cardcaptor sakura: the movie'' actually happens in the middle of the main series. The second movie, ''Cardcaptor sakura the movie 2: The sealed card'' happens after the main series. So do not miss out the movies, it is really a must watch.

This anime basically involves some children flying around and using their magical powers to fight some mystical beings. It might sounds kind of lame but when you see the way they fight, your jaws will drop. They are actually just like an adult just that they are in the form of children. Thats what makes this anime special as you can seldom see some small kid kicking the butt of some monster that is dun know how many times bigger. Another good thing is that the characters are really cute in this anime. Even a guy like me finds the anime and characters cute. Also, i must say that this anime is a ''no stress'' anime. I am not saying that this anime is not tense or something. I am saying that this anime is much more relaxing than other similar anime. It does has some parts that are tense just that not to the extent that will really make you heat up!! The ending is also kind of good in the sense that it really leaves a strong impact on the viewer. The ending is kind of sad but at the same time happy. Want to know this kind of feeling? watch this anime :DD

Of course, the anime has some minor imperfection. The story starts to get boring after a few episodes. The main characters are mainly doing the same thing in every episodes, hanging out, sense the card, fights and seal it. So it gets kind of draggy and boring after a while. I not saying that this anime is boring throughout the whole series. It does still have some little twist every here and there such as the introduction of new characters.



Cardcaptor sakura have lots of nice songs. Some are cute and some are catchy. To me, all the songs in this anime is my favourite. There is just too much songs in this anime, so i would just list down the openings and endings.

1. Catch you catch me by Gumi (Opening 1)

2. Groovy by Koumi hirose (Ending 1)

3. Tobira wo akete by ANZA (Opening 2)

4. Honey by chihiro (Ending 2)

5. Platinum by Maaya sakamoto (Opening 3)

6. Fruits candy by Kojima megumi (Ending 3)


For people who want to try something new, try this anime. Sometimes, children fights can be awesome too. Also for people who like cute stuffs,this anime is the only one for you. There are only 2 words to describe this anime, cute and awesome :DD

Okay thats all for now, Ciao~~
