There is a remarkable amount of detail for a program made for a younger audience: of course, CLAMP has always made broad appeal manga, and they could have traded on their name to earn a budget this well used. CLAMP actually had an above average involvement in the project: Okawa Nanase actually wrote the scripts for at least the first four episodes, and Apapa Mokona&#8217;s costume and card designs are retained. One of their repeat anime liaisons, Takahashi Kumiko, adapted the characters from Igarishi Satsuki&#8217;s original designs, which made for something much cleaner. The manga was occasionally hard to follow because of the complicated line work.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, by the end of the second episode Sakura seems to have been cured of her reluctance to capture cards, and her friendship with Kero-chan is not tenuous. Given more of an opportunity in these episodes is Tomoyo, whose fascination with Sakura would be unnerving if it wasn&#8217;t so hilarious.<br \/>\nWhen Tomoyo and Kero-chan team up to stalk Sakura, it&#8217;s the greatest thing ever!<\/p>\n<p>One of the great aspects of the series is the constant changes of costumes. Other than the uniforms, the characters can be counted on to be wearing a vast array of clothing. It cuts down on stock footage and also gives each episode its own uniqueness. In fact, <i>Cardcaptor Sakura<\/i> actually gives more detail to its story than the manga, so it could be one of the best anime projects of recent years: there&#8217;s just so much going for it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to Shaoran coming in &#8211; his reactions around Yukito should be priceless!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I&#8217;m watching this and Gundam Wing concurrently, making for an interesting cocktail.
