REVIEW of:
Card Captor Sakura
Movie
Sakura Kinomoto just won a trip to Hong Kong! School's out, and winter vacation is a perfect chance for vacation, relaxation, and perhaps...love? But before she can take a break, Sakura has to figure out what her strange dreams are telling her. Water and a woman dressed in traditional Chinese clothes seem to be the key warnings. Something is calling her--is it a Clow Card or something more powerful than she can imagine? Sakura must take all her strength and knowledge of the Clow cards and figure out how to defeat her own battles, as well as save her friends from the wrath of the mysterious woman in water. The Card Captor Sakura Movie is an original takeoff from the series about friendship, hope, and unrequited love. - Hanako |

Comments | This was one of the first fansubs I have ever received other than Sailor Moon, and I must say I was pretty impressed. Not only was this animation very pretty with wonderful background scenery and cute anime characters, but also had a very cute and stylish portrayal of the details within the plot. I had not watched the Card Captor Sakura series at all before this movie which consequently got me really into it. This movie was pretty straightfoward with the details and there wasn't really much to question other than the magical girl information on why she has this Clow magic and a magic guardian (which anyone can find out the internet). This isn't one of those movies where you would have to think about the plot and the tiny details in order to get the story. It's more of a feel-good, pop-bubble-gum sort of film where you would just come out and say "Aww..." to the cuteness. But because of the typical magical girl storyline and minor flaws in which you would have to look up the character or have actually watched the series, this movie probably isn't for anyone who has not seen the series or an action fighting fan. Otherwise, this movie is great for girls and fans of shoujo. | ||
