A review of Card Captor Sakura:

This is a simply wonderful series and every fan of "cute" owes it to themselves to see it.

The basic story is about a cute but independent 10 year old school girl, Sakura. One day she finds a mysterious magical book in her basement among her dad's archiological books. When she opens it she finds a whole bunch of cards. Unwittingly she reads one of the cards and causes the rest of them to fly out of the room and become scattered all around the city. It is only then the cute guardian of the cards reveals himself and charges Sakura with the duty of captuing all the cards and returning them to the book.

Aimed at a younger audience, and with obvious marketing potential, this series is nonetheless enchanting watching and of interest to all ages. It is being dubbed into english to cash in on the Pokemon craze, but it has been completely butchered as a result. Whatever you do, you MUST see the original Japanese. The english version skips the fist six episodes completely!!

Magnificent artwork, wonderful music and exciting stories topped off with a very cute cast make Card Captor Sakura a MUST SEE for every anime fan.
