I used to like it but tastes change as we grow older. I wish they could have made it more mature like madoka (not that mature but still appeals for older audience)


This is a kids show; not a edgy mindfuck.
Sakura beats Madoka in every department of the magical girl genre any day.

This was an absolutely beautiful return to the series, it honestly felt like an HD episode from the original show! Every minute of it brought a warm nostalgic feeling to my heart, especially when Sakura and Shaoran shared their special moments together...and when your friendly neighborhood stalker Daidoji totally stole them XD Then there was also Yue's sexy voice, Sakura's trademark scream, Shaoran's gullibility and- (rambles on for another two decades)....it's honestly a great first episode for a faithful sequel, it was totally worth the long...LONG wait ^_^

So...on another note, how about that Hooded Figure actually being a more experienced Sakura from an alternate universe, who came to give young Kinomoto some more training? I mean we have Clow pin-pointing events to help convert the cards into Sakura cards so...wynaut?

CCS is back and I'm so happy right now! I've been waiting and looking forward to this forever. OP is great and I prefer it over the ED though. ED was kinda bland imo

I loved the original as I just finished it in time for this, my only concern is I hope it's not too much of a full retread and they do some things different. Beyond calling windy , gale now and such.

Holy crap... Sakura... has a smart phone.

Hope to see her do something crazy like use both staffs and go into some super mahou shoujo form like in a certain other mahou shoujo.

Finally after waiting all night and all Sunday morining, I watched (on Crunchyroll) this episode.

its wierd to hear the voices in japanese (I always listen to the latin spanish dub of the characters).

Basically Shaoran is back, Sakura has a new power and Tomoyo is the same as always.

I've been so hyped for this! I loved seeing everyone on screen again. I am sort of wondering if this is taking elements of the manga, put applying it to the anime's universe. I say this because we had the PV where they did the manga's ending, but here, they showed the anime's ending in regards to Sakura giving her bear away. I'm ok either way since Sakura is wonderful regardless, but it just has me curious!

Super excited to see this story unfold!! x

This felt just like the original series! So much romantic tension between Sakura and Syaoran, too, I love it. Everything about this felt so good. Also, the ED is the cutest thing ever. Sakura is growing up :3

But, it seems like the second movie, The Sealed Card, isn't canon anymore, which is kind of disappointing, but this was such a good beginning to a new series that I'm not too bothered by it. Sealed Card can still sort of fit into the timeline anyway, I guess.

I cannot remember whether Sakura and Tomoyo discovered they were cousins on original or not. If they did not, I wonder if they will discover it in the sequel.


WTF? Is that from the manga or something? I don't remember that at all, they're just best friends.

I am very okay with this set up.

What I'm gathering is that this robed figure has erased the power of the Sakura Cards in order to fill them up again with a power he could call his own. It looked like he was trying to steal the key from Sakura in the second dream, but she woke up before he could get it, so now he's sending his powers at her for her to seal away with the intent of taking them all for himself afterwards.

Which - for the record - isn't exactly a good plan. But for Cardcaptors Sakura, it's par for the course and I'm okay with this.

I wasn't sure if I was really going to stick through with watching this, but I've surprised myself with how much of the major events I remember from the original series, and this was quite enjoyable, so I'm seeing this puppy through!

in the anime it's also revealed. in the episodes about Sakura's great-grandfather...Sakura's mother and Tomoyo's mother were cousins, thus making Sakura and Tomoyo also cousins.

So much nostalgia in this episode! It did a good job re-introducing the characters and setting up the story. The development of Sakura and Shaoran is something I look forward to, and also the new clear cards. I 100% thought the card was going to be windy, but to my pleasant surprise it was gale. Excited to see what this series has in store!

<3 Once Kero Chan's face popped up, I felt a burst of nostalgia. =) It's good to be back. Love how they incorporated parts of the first OP to the new one and they still do the same animation with the cut scenes.

Things that felt new were the upgraded phones and use of e-mail.

Can't wait for the next episode!

My only complaint about this anime is its art style; the characters' face are more round and childish. This is no biggie though, I'm just glad it's back!

Before going into work earlier this evening, I watched this episode, and to my astonishment, I didn't get much enjoyment out of it. It just felt 'fine' to me. Not good, not bad, just OK. It didn't help that I did not feel one ounce of nostalgia off it which should have naturally derived from the many years I watched the original series. Not feeling nostlagia from an anime that should have given me those feelings crushed me a little inside, and it even made me hate on both myself and anime for hours on end. Needless to say, I couldn't let this be, so I re-watched this episode after returning home from work, and my opinion of it changed drastically! So much, that it's on par now with the prequel. What made me the most happiest about re-watching this episode again though was that I could feel a spark of nostalgia this time around just after Sakura obtained the Gale Card.

All I can say is... if I did not see this episode (or this anime as whole) as nothing less than a Masterpiece 10/10, I would have given up all hope on anime completely.

I wish to see more grown up Sakura, but we still got the same Sakura instead. I don't see much different between the old Sakura and the new Sakura.

about the story, it looks like the cards going to evolve to the advanced level through "clearing".
from Windy to Gale
as for next week, it looks like from Maze to Prison/Room.

This brought back so many memories from when I first watched the show so long ago.

The show looks absolutely gorgeous, I find the modern art style quite fitting, and the girls are as cute as they've ever been. Syaoran entering the scene with Sakura meeting him was heartwarming to say the least. And Tomoyo filming their sweet embrace made me giggle.

I can't wait to see all the new outfits Sakura will get and what the show will have in store from here on.

Also liked the recap at the start of the show.

So its a sequel, which means they're already a couple. But no one wants to watch a pairing AFTER they've already gotten together; granted, this series is more than the romance but still, I predict drama.

This didn't miss a beat, it feels the same as it did so many years ago when I was just a kid. I am so happy to have CCS back in my life.

I teared up when Sakura and Shaoran hugged (that moment right before they realized Tomoyo was filming them) thinking about how much my CCS-obsessed 9-year-old self had longed for this, for them-for this sequel. It's really crazy. I could've died before it was even announced and my childhood dream would've remained unfulfilled. But you know, rather than thinking I was lucky, I believe it was all... inevitable.

When the news came that another series of Cardcaptor was being made I couldn’t wait. I have a few questions but it might be just some continuity errors. In the first episode when Sakura remanences when Syaoran was leaving, they were both in the airpot and Syaoran gives her the bear. But in the recent OVA it was at the bus station which where she gives him the bear. I thought this was the new cannon ending from the original series.

Spoilers from the movie/OVA/last series:


Anyway, did anyone notice that background track of OP 3 instrumental, that was a nice touch.

"guys,we're late to sequel for 20 years, so gather the bunch up and roll the series"

Anyway, so many nostalgia for the characters show up one by one in eps 1, it's scary and awesome that everyone of the character have the same seiyuu 20 years before, sure is the seiyuu of japan has dedication the his/her work that they can produce the same voices as before especially if there is 20 years gap........

In before the gap, there is technology gap of the series: Smartphone! which bring us to Tomoyo, thumbs up for her for being such utilitarian for still carrying Handycam (not Go pro /action camera of such) wherever she goes.

And CMIIW, is this series have the anime series Canon instead of manga? If i remember the teddy bear exhange is anime only scene and she has 53 cards in this clear card chapter,so the second movie is canon too?.

Lord, I squealed like a little girl, after seeing the sequel to one of my most favorite anime from my childhood. I like that this show almost does not differ from the original in terms of atmosphere, cast and direction, although the voices of the characters seem more artificial, since it's been 18 years now. But I'm still glad that I can see it.

it was so cute when Sakura hugged Shaoran out of sheer joy...and lol Daijouji captured it all!
Just a question: since the prequel was 1998-2000, do they use smartphones? or the old type phones? hahah!

Just as I expected, an Anime with cute girls in it will never be completely fulfilling without male characters included. This show's first episode IMHO is a million times more fun and entertaining to watch than Toji no Miko.
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

Eeeeeehhhhhhh I never finished the original series but if that little recap in the beginning was a basic explanation of everything that happened in the original I'M PRETTY MUCH GOOD TO GO. And it look exactly like how my nostalgia makes it appear in my head, they haven't change a bit... since 2016... which is when I watched... part of it... I'm assuming I didn't miss too much... Nope, I missed a HELL OF A LOT. Still watching this anyway though. Outro was great too.
