Lmao. I can no longer stand watching this show even though it's out of nostalgia. It's not worth my 25 minutes anymore. Definitely, I'm going to enjoy this if my little me was watching this, but I just can't stand the tackiness of this show. Jesus.

Dropped. 5/10.

Now onto the transfer student, nice that she & Sakura want to become friends, and even though nobody can sense magic from her she is around the same height as Sakura so I still think it's a possibility she is the mysterious person, she can be using an ability to conceal her magical presence.

Or she is another Sakura herself and they don't recognize any power because it has the same marks as Sakura's.

This episode was a bit meh imo but those last few minutes between Sakura and Shaoran made up for it.

I'm living for the wholesome moments between Sakura and Syaoran.

It's hard to tell if the transfer student is genuinely nice or if they have an ulterior motive. Were they drawn to Sakura due to fate (as predicted by Eriol) or because it benefits them to get close to her?

this episode is good, the last 3 seemed to really ride of the nostalgia of the old show with a lil new mystery of that mysterious figure in Sakura's dream. This episode just adds to the mystery. Ah, I love this show.

Wonder if the transfer student is really just a "normal" girl. Wouldn't that be funny, if she had some kind of role in the show, but not necessarily being a threat? Remember how Mizuki-sensei always seemed suspicious but in the end she wasn't dangerous. Akiho gives me a similar vibe here but ofc I could be way off.

Her being another Sakura would be interesting. The Clear Cards feel similar to Clow/Sakura cards, yet it's like they're from another world or something.

Anyway, this was a good ep, and I don't really mind the comedy. It was amusing in the old one and it's fine in this one. It doesn't work as well as it used to back then, but I think that because I watched both the old and the new as a young adult, I don't really mind it. I didn't grow up with CS or even TRC, so although it has a nostalgia factor for me (10+ years ago) it's not tied to my childhood or anything, so I guess I feel differently about it.

Or maybe I just like it for the same reasons I liked the original. It's like with Sailor Moon Crystal: some folks hate it, but I personally like it just like the original.

I just want them to talk and be open about the things they know and feel UGH
...but yup, guess that's just not possible.
I don't like feeling left out.

New girl is alright, their names rhyme and this means they are now besties 5ever.

I'm here doing my best to use all my suspension of disbelief while Tomoyo is almost breaking the 4th wall, silly me.

When Yukito said that he wanted to meet with Yue it somehow reminded me of Yu-gi-oh and all that "other me this, other me that" talk.
For a minute I thought he was gonna tell Sakura that Touya knows that something is happening but nope, disappointed but not surprised...

And lastly that phone call, t was the sweetest thing ever, I felt like someone punched me in the face. If all this hiding things leave a scar in their relationship I'll be so stressed out. I can already feel my hair falling and my nails breaking, pray for my health.

see!!!!???
I told ya!!
it has to do with Shaoran and Eriol, they both knew something but keep it quiet for some reason.

as for the transfer student, I don't think she's just a normal student.
I bet she also had a bigger role in upcoming event.
because there's no way they introduce an ordinary transfer student, looking back at the previous series.
maybe, just maybe, she's Sakura from another timeline, or something similar, like Clow Reed, Eriol, and Sakura's dad.
or maybe she's a child version of Yuuko Ichihara (like Eriol to Clow Reed), because she's a female version of Clow Reed after all.

Sakura, don't you dare get between the Ents and Saruman! THEY NEED THEIR REVENGE! >:(
So, obviously Syoran knows stuff and is keeping secrets with Eriol. Oh man, WHY can't you just tell the poor girl.
New girl is also obviously involved somehow, directly or not, I mean, she can't be just a mob character XD
Well, this is Clamp, I predict a lot of sad moments for Sakura and Syoran :(

These would be huorns :) Or the dryads from Prince Caspian.

Hmm, I think I'd like for Akiho to be something like Sailor Saturn, I loved that.

I don't remember the jokes being this repetitive.

To me they were, but maybe that's only because I watched half of it in one month? But humor may be the most subjective aspect of any show. Konosuba 2 is very high-rated, despite most of its humor feeling recycled and repetitive to an apparently significant number of us.

I'm dying to know what's going to happen omg! Also correct me if i'm wrong, but it might be that the anime is straying a little from the manga in the next episode preview. I thought Sakura went to see the cherry blossom's only with Syaoran, but she invited Akiho in the preview. Maybe i'm wrong though :o

So we have a new student, who is a cutie (...like all the female characters in this show to be honest - I miss Rika) and it looks like she and Sakura will become really good friends. But obviously, Akiho will be related to these recent and probably upcoming events with the new cards because this is CCS. So, we only need to know what is her connection with said events.

Overall, It was a good episode but personally, I liked the previous ones more.
I really need to get used to Kero's voice. For some reason, I found him annoying this time...

P.S. I: That phone call between Li and Sakura was absolutely adorable for God's sake.

P.S. II: If Sakura is happy, then I'm happy as well.

So, I kinda figured out why this series hasn't been compelling to me as the original. With the original season, we actually had tangible goals, be it for Sakura to capture all the Clow Cards or to turn all of them into Sakura Cards. Not only did we have the rivalry with Li at the beginning to make things competitive and exciting, Eriol played the villain role in the second arc that tied everything together.

Here, we don't know how many of these new cards there are. We don't know what collecting them will achieve (we don't even know if it will restore the Sakura Cards) and there really isn't any compelling reason for us to be invested in the collection of the cards (which are again repeats of the original). I'm really hoping this is all building up to something because the mystery is the only thing that's driving the story.

I'd argue that while Madhouse did indeed recapture the feel of the original (save for all those shojo flowers and comedic cut-aways), they have yet to recapture the magic. Like, where's Sakura's triumphant theme? Also, I don't remember the jokes being this repetitive. It's like each episode has a checklist that they need to fill. Touya joke - check. Yamazaki joke - check. Tomoyo joke - check. I do remember them being far more subtle and with far more variation. It's like they went back and tried to reverse engineer the original series but only managed it half-way.

Interestingly enough, looking at the back of the Clear Cards, the magic circle seems to incorporate the elements into the moon/sun/star design of the Sakura Cards. Not sure what to make of it now.


I want to see how this connect with xxholic and Tsubasa Chronicle with Sakura giving her staff to the Sakura clone in Tsubasa.

I keep having this ominous feeling that they're going to take Sakura's power and give it to someone else... you know, that new girl. If you ask me why... it's because Sakura can't be a magical girl forever if they want to develop her relationship with Shaoran any further. That's, unfortunately, the destiny of any magical girl... I think that's the reason for them to transform Sakura cards into another type of cards... they might be trying to give an end to the story... Or I could be completely off, who knows...

Why not?^ Sakura doesn't seem to have any role as a magical girl. It's like a cycle of the cards, clow, herself every time. I don't see why her relationship with Syaoran would be affected by this especially since his life was never really normal per se and he wanted the cards before. ( he did cast thunder and all)
I can understand your theory if Sakura was like 25 but she had her cards for such a short period of time it would be pointless to transfer her cars.

That being said I don't know why her cards had turned or become empty. If the Sakura cards didn't happen I would have guessed it was to make the cards her own but now I don't know. Maybe the cards need to evolve after becoming someone else's? And Akiho probably is like an Eriol that has to challenge her. Or another mage that has to battle for the cards idk.

I haven't watched this episode but the first 2 (and the manga up to Akiho's appearence) gave me both positive and meh feelings. I can't recall exactly if there were easy cards but it's like Sakura has it so easy to capture the new cards. I felt before it was more exciting and hard. In any case I am still liking this.

At this point it is obvious Shaoran is hiding something. And about the new student maybe she is related to the strange person (or whatever is) in Sakura's dream.

I wonder what doeas Eriol is hiding. Maynbe reading the manga I can know more. I am really curious about what is happening about them.

It's only eps 4 and my curiosity is getting higher. People around her know what happened. Toya knows something. Eriol and Syaoran, too. The only one who has no idea of what going on is Sakura and ME!
The introduction of a new character in this series must be related to the unusual event that happened recently. It's the same as how Mizuki sensei and Eriol appeared in the previous season.

I should bear with this curiosity until eps 26. Sigh.

All I can think about when I see Akiho is that she looks exactly like Rika.

Still hoping this gets a bit heavier on the romance but as things are going, it might take a bit.

The new girl looks suspicious :o But she is cute, and obviously has been in the same european places that every anime names to make a character special...
New card Action. It was fun to see those trees running while no one but the mc noticed xD
Syaoran's secret makes me want to read the manga, but I'll wait.
Yue is heavenly beautifuru~
I've been reading comments of people thinking Shinomoto is Nadeshiko's reincarnation :o That would be... interesting, I guess.
I wonder if Sakura's dad also knows something ¬¬

Sakura gets another card.

Shaoran has been secretly keeping contact with Eriol, and is keeping information from Sakura for some specific reason. Also, regarding that card that Eriol was looking at with the two hearts, does this mean that Sakura is falling for Akiho?

moral of the story is that men like can’t be trusted and are evil (true )

Not that this sequel story started out strong to begin with, and I’ll grant that there’s prob more to come, but I do get the deep impression that Shaoran’s just sort of …there. He just sort of pop us again but has no pivotal or substantial role in anything. Being a BF and offering emotional support is obviously nice but the extent that this component is even conveyed hardly goes on beyond that of a far distance relationship. Heck the episode ends off with Sakura wanting to call him more. That’s very sweet but something you’d expect to be more touching from a “I don’t really get to see you” sort of thing. This would be forgiven if their relationship was actively (or even passively) developed — like if they went on dates and cute shit like that — but, again, as it’s treated he’s just sort of there. I’d be tempted to rather have kept him abroad pending a more meaningful (and much more satisfying and emotionally sentimental) return to home girl

Ngl, the first part of the episode had me groaning a bit with the introduction of a mysterious new transfer student (trope feels too recycled for this series at this point), and how the whole incident with the trees happened in literal broad daylight in school but nobody noticed oh so conveniently.

The second part, however, redeemed the episode a bit for me simply because of how sweet the scene of Sakura asking Syaoran if she can prepare a bento for him and call him whenever she wants to talk to him. It's obvious from the revelation that Syaoran has been in direct contact with Eriol that there's something going on, but my hope is that the reveal of their reason for not letting Sakura know will be more than just "this is a test only for her/we don't want make her even more worried" cause that would be a really lazy and underwhelming reason imho.
