Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 2: Fuuin Sareta Card

For this year's Nadeshiko Festival, Sakura Kinomoto's elementary school class is presenting a play. She will portray a princess who struggles to respond to the love confession of the neighboring country's prince. Sakura empathizes with her character all too well, since she herself still owes an answer to the boy who confessed his love for her four months ago.

When cousins Shaoran and Meiling Li return from Hong Kong to pay a surprise visit to their friends in Japan, Sakura receives further encouragement to finally declare her feelings. However, she is repeatedly distracted by a presence reminiscent of a Clow Card as well as unexplained disappearances around town.

Eventually, Sakura learns of another of Clow Reed's creations—the "Nothing"—which was formerly sealed away beneath the magician's old house. It has power equal to all 52 cards Sakura possesses, and furthermore, it wants to take those cards away from her! Objects, space, and people disappear from Tomoeda with each card that is stolen. Sakura sets out to capture the Nothing so everything will return to normal, but what must she sacrifice in the process?

The first Cardcaptor Sakura movie was, to me, a great disappointment. The story never really gripped me. So when I heard of the second movie, I was rather nervous. I'm happy to say, though, that I was greatly impressed with this movie. The story was will done, the relationships were expanded on, and it had one of the cutest endings.

Story 10/10: The story was a lot more gripping to me than the first movie, mostly because this movie was a direct sequel to the series. I truly enjoy the relationship between Syaoran and Sakura and was rather disappointed in how ... the series ended, without Sakura being able to say how she felt about him. Another thing I was afraid of with this movie is that it would feel like a giant monster of the week, but I felt that the antagonist and the conflict in the story were rather unique as far as the series is concerned and it was interesting enough to not bore me within the first half hour.

Art 10/10: This may be a little biased, but I've always been a fan of CLAMP's art. The problem with a lot of anime movies is that they get such a bad rep that the funding for the movies are significantly less than the series. As such, many times you'll find that a movie based off an anime series has lowered animation quality than the series itself. I was really glad, then, when I found no quality loss in this movie. It's still as bright and flashy as the series and the characters haven't started to suffer from Anime Movie Deformity Syndrom.

Sound 9/10: Something that's always kind of bugged me about this movie is that every version I've seen of it, the sound quality is drastically lowered. It isn't as bad as the first movie, but it sounded like it was recorded playing out of speakers and then THAT recording is what was played in the series. I mean, it isn't the worst sound I've ever heard, but it was enough to break the perfect 10 record I'm giving this series.

Character 10/10: I've always loved this series's characters. CCS characters have always been really unique and vibrant, catching my attention very easily. They all have their own pros and cons that don't fit easily into anime stereotypes. For this movie in particular, since they were exploring unknown territory, such as the deepening relationship with Syaoran and Sakura, I was afraid a lot of out-of-character experiences would occur, where the characters weren't acting at all in their personality. Thankfully everything was pulled off without changing personalities or giving you a bad taste in your mouth.

Enjoyment 10/10: I think this is just a summary of what I've been saying all along: I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The characters were wonderful, as was the story they were wrapped in, and the art and music weren't enough to turn me away from it. I love watching this movie again and again, and I hope you will too.

i love this movie! :D
i really love the works of CLAMP, especially cardcaptor sakura.

in the anime, syaoran grew a warm feeling for sakura and when he confessed, sakura was at first, confused but in the end, she knew what she also feels for him. the ending was kinda "bitin" but still, i'm satisfied with it...

then, i saw this movie. i was really excited to watch it and witness the continuation of their lovestory.
i won't spoil anyone esp those who didn't watch it yet but i'm telling you it's really a happy ending for them.
the movie is really heart-warming and "nakakakilig".

i was "kinikilig" the whole time ... and i'm super-duper satisfied with its ending.
they finally heard each other's feelings...they finally told "it". :D got the hint?

I have to say this was a really great movie and so beautifully animated from such a great series. I scanned through some of the first movie, and I'd have to say it was a HUGE disappointment for me according to the series. The first movie just didn't seem anywhere closer to its original series. It was much too fast-paced and I could not understand how the plot went. But this one, I picked it up from the library, looked at the screenshots and I was nervous this was going to be worst than the movie, but as I watched it, it appeared to be ... more greater than the first movie. Seriously, it's like it follows the series. Sakura falls in love with another boy and she tries to dictate her love to him.

Animation: Well, the animation has gotten a littlle grimmier than the original movie and its series, but I still give the animation a little higher score just for my liking of this movie. As I'd say, the animation's more like Castle in the Sky, despite it's artwork was more of 90s style. And pretty much as dark as the first movie was.

Sound: I was always disappointed with the English Dubbed. And to my disappoint, Kero's voice has changed. Either later in the series, this movie or its original movie. It has changed to sound more like the Japanese Dub (which is cuter). I prefer to watch all Card Captor Sakura movies in Japanese because she sounds more like a little kid in Japanese for her age than in English Dub. And the music was pretty fitting and everything.

Characters: The characters were always a 10/10. Original concept and an imaginative idea of a little kid coming to town and Sakura suddendly falls in love with her. But since the characters have grown up and have entered middle school, they act more differently than in the series or their normal life.

Overall: A very good movie following another movie and focused on a great series. A must-watch and is very watchable.
