Cardcaptor Sakura, my Fave!

Hey, everyone! I am going to start my first 'real' post for this blog. The first one was just a kind of intro. From now on, we are getting the 'real' stuff going. ^^ Well, for starters... I will do a review on an anime: Cardcaptor Sakura. It's created by CLAMP. It's in the mahou shoujo (magical girl) genre. This story's centred on a girl named Kinomoto Sakura, who was at first only a normal fourth-grader (you can say most mahou shoujo anime started off like this). Soon after. she found a Clow Book which had been left unattended for a long time in her basement. After calling our the name of a card (Windy) inside, she accidentally released all the cards in the book. Now with the help of Kero, she must regain all the cards with the Clow Key Kero has given her. Will she be successful? You will have to watch for yourself to find out.

During the whole process, she meets rivals, experiences faith and physical tests and finds her true love (though the boy, Syaoran only confessed to her in the second-last episode and Sakura was too dense to notice before that). Overall, it was a good anime with pretty catchy opening and ending songs. Most importantly, there's a lot of funny occasions and interactions between the characters. Some will really get you into a laughing fit. It will pretty much make you feel relax and happy watching this anime. The plot's quite good too (that's if you don't demand one that's too complicated). And Sakura wears lots of different, pretty outfits in this anime. Kawaii yo~ Here are some examples:

However, my review is based on the Japanese version of Cardcaptor Sakura. The dubbed version named 'Cardcaptors' isn't really good. A lot of scenes have been cut off (especially the romance parts) and the voices don't suit the characters. So, if any of you want to watch this anime, I would highly recommend that you DO NOT watch the English dub. You will not find this anime to be interesting anymore if you did. And for those who watched the dub but did not really like it, watch the Japanese version. It's what I did and this anime has become my favourite anime of all times! ^^

There's a total of 70 episodes. Haha... Kinda long rite?? So, good luck to those who want to watch it. If you are into the magical girl stuff with magic and a tinsy bit of romance, it's the anime for you~ There's also two movies apart from the anime. For girls, I think they would be satisfied only if the watched the 2nd movie. It pretty much concludes the love story between Sakura and Syaoran. Today's review would probably suit girls more. Sorry about that, for the guys. Next time, I will post a different genre of anime. Yeah! The first post is done! Though it did take me quite some time to finish this. Phew~Anyway, I hereby announced this post officially open to all. I hope it benefits some of you and if there are anything you want improving on, just leave a comment. Thanks! Enjoy~
