Cardcaptor Sakura: The Sealed Card

Cardcaptor Sakura: The Sealed Card (2000)

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Taking place after the Clow Cards have been transformed into Sakura Cards, Li's return to Japan marks the reveal of Sakura's feelings and their final confrontation with an unknown card to keep the Cards safe. It takes nearly losing everything before Sakura can identify the new Hope card and convince it to rejoin with the rest of the Cards. The risk of losing Li and his memories for good spurs her to finally admit her own feelings. Still very much the innocent and naïve girl she started out as in the series, Sakura is rather cute and clumsy in the grand scheme of things.

Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie (1999)

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Not the best series ever, but it is cute, light, and overall fairly fun. A nice change of pace after some high speed action and gore. This one takes place while the Clow Cards still belong to Clow Reed and the hunt for them continues. Meet Li's family in Hong Kong and Clow's rather obsessed admirer attempting to break her seal and force Clow's hand to rejoin her. Still not fully understanding her own powers, Sakura fumbles with some help to make this phantom see reason and save her friends.
