Time never change lol

It seems that Touya still doesn't have a good impression of Syaoran. Plus, he and Sakura had the chance to spend more time together on a date and that probably doesn't sit well for Sakura's bro. Really nice to see Syaoran in his Chinese style outfit though. It fits him like the original season.

I like Sakura's blue outfit too this episode. Nice design, Tomoya :D
Syaoran had some major blushing moments and seems like he wanted to ask Sakura out before getting interrupted.

Ah yes, good old Sakura and Syaoran teamwork. Nice to see Syaoran finally helping Sakura in the Clear Card arc when a lot of times he couldn't do anything because he's either somewhere else or the situation was just completely out of his hands.

I'm glad that Syaoran had time with his girl, it's been too agonizing watching him feeling useless.

Big throwback with the aquarium, a lot of references, really liked this!

Great episode this week.

Yue hanging up on Kero was gold. XD

The Aquarium and the mention of Watery brought back a lot of memories. Similar stuff happened with the glass breaking again which was a pretty nice throw back.

Li and Sakura were so adorable on their little date. <3
Lit got them fancy Engrish speaking skills. XD

That stare off between Li and Touya was hilarious as well.

I kinda guessed the card would be called Spiral after seeing the design. The way they captured was pretty cool with Li finally getting some action.
Leave it to Tomoyo and technology to give us outfits and video capture. :D

So regarding the Clear Cards in general, it seems to me as though Sakura is basically reinventing the wheel here. I say this only because they pointed out how similar today's encounter was to the Watery encounter. It feels like there's some kind of process or a cycle even, going on. Like initially we had the Clow Cards created by Clow Reed, Sakura captures all the cards and undergoes trials to be deemed a worthy master. She then had to claim ownership of these cards under her own name leading to formation of the Sakura Cards and now it looks as though she's basically creating(for lack of a better term) her own cards by capturing various forces that the Clow Cards could have possibly derived from. I feel like this makes sense to me because the Clear Cards in general have very generic names (Gravitation, Flight, Action) as compared to the names of the Clow Cards especially with the elemental cards (The Fiery, The Watery) which had much more personal names. I also have the suspicion that the person Sakura is seeing in her dreams could be herself which also seems to nudge me towards this theory of Sakura becoming a creator of magical power herself but then again I'm just rambling at this point.

Anyway, can't wait for next week.

Back to the aquarium just like old times.

Haha some great awkward moments between those 2 at the bus stop, and even a kid at the aquarium pointed it out to them.

That is indeed a nice outfit Tomoyo get for Sakura.

Oh wow Syaoran has decent English skills, he was able to help out those tourists.

They make a couple couple, I also agree with that statement.

As expected, there is Touya working in the same place that Sakura is visiting, plus we got the usual stare down between him & Syaoran.


Yep a clear card was there as expected to wreck havoc, but the teamwork between the entire team was the difference.

Tomoyo's flying drone cameras are working well lol.

Another really good episode.

It is time for an adorable date~

Wow, I can see the parallels between Episode 3 of the original anime and this episode.

Oh no, Sakura's homemade lunch was ruined!

Li at least got to have a new costume. I like the hat.

Overall, what a great episode!

/screams. the whole interaction betwen sakura and syaoran and their little date cleanse my soul, opened up my pores, gave me straight A's, and revived me. i can't.

though negl i'm still trying to wrap my mind around why CLAMP chose the aquarium to be the location for sakura's first date with syaoran. even if it was for the sake of nostalgia and the watery card but still...this was where she went on a date with yukito. come on. :/

oh well i shall overlook the tiny details because i got my otp quota in during this episode.

This was the best episode so far IMO. It felt much closer to the structure of the original series and finally a card that poses some trouble.

I do agree that Sakura is somehow repeating the cycle of the Clow Cards arc. I think that maybe she's capturing these cards for someone else (possibly Akiho) who needs them but for some reason can't capture them herself.

Also, does anyone else think that Sakura's teddy bear has something to do with the plot? It's something I've been thinking for a while since it seems to get a lot of shots and it became much more evident in this episode.

On a final note, please bring Mei Ling back!

That's the episode, oh, and Syaoran and Sakuran go on a date.

I enjoy this episode. Finally Shaoran and Sakura work together to catch a card, and is good that their getting along the 2 of them only with no one interrupting (even Toya).

And finally Tomoyo record Sakura's battle with a card.

Oh man this episode triggered me :> I love aquariums but always have a minor fear of the bigger more massive tanks breaking open and releasing all the fish, especially the ones with the mega fish like sharks, or arapaima. Love watching them, but they are so massive....heh

AAAAAAAA HOW I LONGED FOR THIS
My face hurts from smiling too much, from beggining to end I just felt so happy and joyful.
I feel like watching this episode again just because...

Now I wonder if they'll ever have a date with no interruptions, the poor kids can never catch a break. Even Tomoyo held back on her urges to follow them, c'mon.
And there's Touya, will he ever get a real job. Even dad supports their relationship Touya, it's time to get over it. Syaoran wants to make peace too which is just lovely.

And then he tries to put into words that he wants to go out with her and I'm just dying of cuteness and then INTERRUPTION. Can this boy ever finish saying something important without something terrible happening (probably not).

Then basically we have the same thing that went on episode 3 which is a nice throwback? Yeah, sure. But it's also kinda lazy? Totally.
How is it that no one got hurt with all that glass shattering? Will the aquarium survive another bad publicity like this? Will the owners get sued?
Well, at least no penguin was hurt this time.

And then time for snucking in again. It was so funny when she just said "oh last time we snuck in" like my god, we have a bad girl here, breaking all the rules.

I'm surprised that the card from last week was actually useful lol.
Now can we say the same from this week's card. I didn't really get what's that one for, oh well.

Next week we have the rollerblades back yay. I thought they were retired by now but guess not.

Japanese Engrish is like a meme at this point, I think at this point the studios even doing it knowing it sounds ridiculous as hell..

Best episode so far, lots of cuteness going on and the action was good looking this time around, where the last episode lacked any while in capturing the card.

BTW I still do think that this model of a card per episode is kinda lame and oldschool, in a bad way.

Syaoran and Sakura go on a date and Syaoran could finally contribute to Sakuras capture, I'm sure he's relieved now that he's been of some help to her

I love it when I gush over middle schoolers' romance! That was a real treat!



The glass-wall cracking and breaking down and the tower of water pouring out would have given me the scare but we are watching CardCaptor Sakura so I was kinda reassured that no one would get hurt! <3

Loved the fact that the priorities of Tomoyo and Kero-chan are always all over the place! One probably really needs to have a light-hearted approach to love them! Not really! I love them as they are! <3

And I loved Syaoran's ice magic! Nothing beats a wonderful boyfriend who can do magic, speak so many languages (Cantonese, Japanese and English) but most importantly really, really gentle and kind! I thought he was better than those who were supposed to speak in English btw :D

Next episode we have Akiho-chan back! And she's gonna go sleeping beauty!

Now this was a really good episode of CC.

We had a cute Sakura, Shaoran date. The boy asking why they were red was my favorite part.
The capturing of the card felt like how it did in the past, as she had to use other cards to get it.

Still my favorite part was also Tomoyo's face is what really made me like this episode.

Wow the levels of déjà vu I felt were huge!!!

Of course, this episode had the same structure as the previous ones but I enjoyed it way too much because of the date and of course, Li would be interrupted at the same moment he would say something "important" ralated to Sakura and him... aww just like the old times. At least, they could spend some time with each other (too many blushing moments) before the card showed up.

And related to the fight, it was indeed great. It was nice to see Sakura using most of her cards to seal Spiral. Not to mention Li helping his girl! it was about time to be honest.

Oh my goodness sakuras outfit is so cute!
My favorite part was being able to see meilin! I seriously hope she actually shows up in the series. I love her so much!
But the date was sooooo cute. The English speaking part was funny and cute as well.
It really is very similar to the aquarium episode in the first season though.
This one is one of my top favorite episodes so far though. It was so cute and funny and there was action. Many people have said it but I feel like it's been too easy to catch these cards. Like..not exciting. I'm loving the series so far but I would like a little more action with these cards.
I like that they actually had to fight for this one.
Also, her cute outfit ❤️Especially with the flight wings.

This ep's obviously reminiscent of the Watery card capture back in the days... but fast forward to a couple (ahem 20) years later where our favourite couple are on their date. Very cute couple indeed, if not the cutest <3

The showdown between Touya and Syaoran wasn't as exaggerated compared to the earlier series - I feel like they both somewhat grew up a.k.a not death stares as such :D

Also, when Sakura used Lucid, am I the only one that though, "invisibility cloak"? #harrypotter #ahem (I wonder if this is used in the manga?)

Oh, and I really like Syaoran's summons (if that's what you call them?), and Sakura's battle strategy, and teamwork!

Clear card-hen is doing pretty well in my books :)

Sakura's clear cards is getting too many!

So many cute moments. And there's a bit of Meiling too (I've always liked her even when she was annoying at first). Shaolan is like the perfect bf, huh. He is good at sports, can do magic and martial arts, is gentle and dependable. And can speak many languages. His seiyuu's engrish is actually quite good. I've heard much worse, unintelligible english of characters that are supposed to be fluent. And he finally got some action too, he was too many times an observer or absent alltogether, it's nice to see him being useful again.
I'm liking this show so far.

how come no one is talking about what Li was going to say to Sakura just before the tank cracked?!?!?!?! Not sure if there is more then one version but just before the tank cracks he is trying to tell Sakura something...

he says "Go out wi".... and then he gets cut off by the tank cracking...... Was he trying to ask her out on another date? Or was he saying he wants to go out with some one else instead!?!?! He has been actin kinda shady talkin to Eli behind her back.... Just sayin.. something fishy is goin on lol haha

Well not to say I didn't like their (Touya and Syaoran's) dynamics from earlier series, but their relationship is slowly changing it seems. I always found their death stares amusing, but this time round it wasn't so intense and more ... trusting? So I do agree, and also consider their character growth/development :)

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I think the idea of going to the aquarium with Syaoran instead of Yukito was to show that Syaoran is the person she wants to be with now, sort of like that was what she wanted before, but she's grown up, changed, and is here with her real boyfriend. I thought that maybe it was to show her growth and how she's moved on completely from her crush on Yukito :)
