Sakura to Meiling somewhat, is purer in personality, bests her at many aspects such as athleticism (somewhat inadvertently) and ultimately wins over Syaoran's affections without even meaning to. The Korean dub has an 80s-esque opening song. The Cardcaptors opening is more dramatic and plays up the high fantasy element, while also spelling out the plot. In fact, she mentions that Sonomi requested that she kept her hair long because it reminded her of Nadeshiko. Alleged Lookalikes: Sonomi comments on Sakura's similarity to her mother, even though Touya has more of a resemblance - in fact, Sakura seems to look more like Sonomi, and Tomoyo (Sonomi's daughter) resembles Nadeshiko a bit as well, with her long hair. #Sakura card captor 2016 series
He is replaced by Syaoran after he appears in the series (see Evolving Credits).
Advertised Extra: Sakura's father appears in the opening titles' cast roll for the first eight episodes, despite being a fairly minor character. He's sometimes shown to be as naive as Sakura however, and is completely helpless to infatuations. Adorably Precocious Child: Syaoran most of the time acts more like an adult, and puts on an impressive intellectual and aloof front. The rest of Syaoran's family get more time as well. Syaoran's cousin Meiling and guardian/butler Wei are anime-exclusive characters. A stipulation is also added so he can capture some cards for himself (actually, anyone who has magical powers and the strongest involvement in capturing a card is capable of capturing them), and even obtain a chance at being their master, thus making him a legitimate rival for Sakura. He arrives much earlier before most of the cards are collected. The anime has fifty-two, though some are only shown in the first movie. The original manga features nineteen cards. The reason the expansion works instead of falling apart is because Nanase Okawa, writer of the manga, wrote and oversaw the anime as well. Adaptation Expansion: The anime largely runs the same story but adds extra plot points and characters. For all intents and purposes, Nelvana's Cardcaptors is Shōnen with a female lead. The Nelvana dub rearranges the plot to accelerate Syaoran's arrival and increase his narrative status as The Rival, making Sakura's quest a competition from the word go - further, it removes most of the romance arc between Sakura and Syaoran, which is the basis of much of the second season. The movies are also more action-oriented than the manga. The anime adaptation adds many more cards for Sakura to collect, resulting in more fight scenes and cards being used in battle. Or so that was what was said in the beginning in truth, Clow counted on that happening as he chose Sakura to be his heir and to take care of what he left behind. Accidentally Broke the MacGuffin: Sakura accidentally releases all the Clow Cards from what was supposed to be their final resting place. See the character page for more information. Contrast Revolutionary Girl Utena, Princess Tutu, and also Puella Magi Madoka Magica, the most notable Deconstructions of the whole genre and concept (and the last of which feels aimed rather squarely at this series in particular). In 2016, Cardcaptor Sakura returned with a sequel titled Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card, which takes place directly after the original series.Ĭompare Sailor Moon, which is the other "major" example most English-speakers think of vis-à-vis Magical Girls. #Sakura card captor 2016 movie
The second movie also retains the old Pioneer/Geneon dub. In the former's case, the Animax dub was used for the release, while in the first movie's case, the Nelvana dub (which was visually uncut) was retained. The anime has now been rescued by NIS America, and both movie are rescued by Discotek Media.

Geneon, who released a subtitled version of the TV series, took over the dubbing of the second movie, making it far more faithful to the original.
