CardCaptor Sakura

I am also a 17 year old male, and I love CCS -both the Manga and the Anime- it's so imaginative and well thought through, each character has his/her own personality and the're own hobbies and love interests. It is aimed more towards girl readers/watchers, but this is probably due to the team of writers (CLAMP) are all female, guys can still enjoy it though - as long as they have an open mind and aren't too "macho" to watch Anime/read Manga. I haven't actually seen the first movie (only the second one) but I still believe that it is worth watching, and as soon as I track down a copy, I guarantee that I will love every second of it ^^ Go Sakura! Master of the Clow! ^^

My life feels happy when i watch this. I Like all the characters in this anime. There is much depth added into this, so much detail and care was placed in it. I'd recommend it to all who haven't seen it. It is a great place to start an anime collection. The two movies for this is a hard way to let go, but you just have to see it. :) it does do better to you. If the series had been a little longer i think that would've even been better. there are other animes that run over 300 episodes. that's pretty crazy, but still pretty cool. interesting to watch everything change and to see how they manage with such small budgets. anyhow, this is a really good anime... i really love it.

I caught a few of the American versions on TV before watching the original series. I think everyone who has seen the original series that its superior to the US version. Sakura is very cute (although so is everyone else in the series). There is real character development as the story progresses (although slowly/gradually). The magic sequences are tremendous (especially when she takes out her keychain). This is a comments section so I won't go into the plot, suffice to say halfway through the series there is a huge turning point, full of mystery. Sakura's relationship with her family is very sweet, and sometimes moving, especially with her mother. I was cheering on Li Shaoran all the way (I'm chinese)

I'm a 17 year old male and I openly admit to my friends that I loved Card Captor Sakura. It's got the perfect dose of comedy, action and storytelling for a well balanced anime show, throughout all 70 episodes. The movies are excellent as well. And while guys my age may not enjoy this, it's perfect for those new to anime, especially girls. It's got a wide appeal and never gets boring. While it isn't every extremely violent or leaves hanging on the edge of your seat (for some it might), I consider it a job well done by CLAMP. Since the show is about children, it can't get that out of hand anyway. If you're too manly to watch this series, then don't judge it! It's not for you.

I have watched all 70 episodes and both of the Card Captor Sakura Movies.

The entire uncut series has been released by Pioneer in subtitle only versions.

Warner Bros./Nelvana are together showing a chopped up version called Card Captors on the WB! Kids, which has been edited to make Sakura just another character because they wanted to target young boys and girls. Card Captors has started airing on the Cartoon Network. In my opinion if you want chopped up anime watch the dubbed episodes which are not only cut up, but out of order, and most episodes have been skipped. WB! is also about to air the third season so they can show more action in the series.

There are 70 episodes, Tomoyo's special episodes and a few mini movies, one of which was shown with the CCS Movie 2: The Sealed Card called Kero Chan's Big Adventure, which is also included on the DVD.

CCS in japan is a mahou shoujo anime by CLAMP(a well respected manga group), japanese for Magical Girl type anime, example...sailor moon. CCS has better animation and a better plot so watch out for it.
