Did a search, and I'm surprised that I didn't find a thread for it here. Ah well.
I'm only up to episode 28 (watched the first 17 episodes months ago, and picked it up again recently), and I've started to take a strong liking to it. It's started to get better now that Shaoran isn't such a dick like when he first appeared.
Discuss (bleh, I suck at starting topics. hopefully someone has something to talk about it). 
Before we start. PLEASE, NO DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ENGLISH VERSION. (If that's fine with you, Solar.)
It's been quite some time since I read or watched this.
I have to finish it sometime. I believe this is one of the first series I watched in Japanese. It's a very cute series.
I don't have much to say right now, but I'll post later once I remember a few things.
By the way, here is something for when you finish CCS.
I don't mind at all, but a friend of mine told me about an English redub that's aired in a few asian countries. Can't seem to find any clips of it though. >.>
The English version was quite horrible, like many other shows. I wonder if the re-dub is better.
I can't remember how many episodes it had, but I know it was long. But the show/manga was a pretty clever idea, and cute to boot. I loved the movies, too. :]
The only thing is that I always felt they were a little too young. Like in 3rd grade?
I read the flopped manga, first 3 volumes, from my library. Not bad. I wouldn't mind having a copy of that sweet english/japanese doubleprints they had a while back (same comic twice, in 2 languages)
Doubleprints? Never heard of that before.
And I'm sure that they're in the 4th grade. Crazy, huh?
! And in the end, they turned into 7th graders.
When I first took a look at Tsubasa Chronicles, I really thought it was a sequel from CLAMP.
I like Cardcaptor Sakura it's cute i like when Sakura uses Face Faults I don't like the KidsWB verison they change Tomoyo into Madison and they said Sakura wrong they said Sacora

In a way it is. We have a Tsubasa topic, but it flopped. I'll see if I can find it.
Hmm, I wonder what kind of person would think of a card such as THE SWEET. Or THE FLOWER. >.>;
Hey, there already is a thread, nice.
Don't know if anyone else likes this show or not but there's a sequel series called Clear Card that takes place a couple years after the first series that being serialized right now. It's 18 chapters in and is getting an anime series starting next month (no clue how that scheduling is going to work since the manga is monthly and a weekly series will catch up pretty quickly). I'm pretty sure new chapters come out within the first couple days of each month too so there should be a new chapter next week.
! The allusions to Alice in Wonderland so far are pretty interesting. There were a few episodes (haven't read the manga of the original series) about Alice in Wonderland in the original but Akiho in Clear Card (and Yuka) have some other Alice book called Alice in Timeland so I'm interested in where that's going to end up going, especially with Yuka apparently being the antagonist in some way so far. Syaoran and Eriol seem to have their own thing going on too that they're not telling Sakura about for some reason.
Yes, I've seen Clear Card. Beautiful as ever, but I would have preferred CLAMP to come up with a new series.
Think this will connect to her other big series?
Somehow I feel like all the CLAMP series are related in some way or the other. But Tsubasa and xxxHolic have been done to death already, it's time to move on.
And it's "their" series, not "her".
I love this series
I honest to god, absolutely love, from top to bottom, this fucking series.
It's innocent to a fault, has a wonderful cast of characters, excellent music and is just something you can watch that puts a smile on your face. Absolutely in my top 5 series of all time.
New chapter has raws and a translation out. I imagine it's fine to link them here but I'll wait for someone to confirm that.

I would think most people would prefer they get around to finishing X properly.
I've often wondered about that myself; seems like being supported by people who only want you there so the world can end in fire (with you going to Hell in the process) would be somewhat off-putting

This is true. But Tsubasa needs to DIE.
A shame that my only memories of this series is that terrible English dub (and yet, I believe some of its charm still managed to break through).
Someone for some reason thought it was worth it to upload all the dub episodes to Youtube so you can relive the dub at your leisure if you want 
The new anime is starting either tomorrow or Sunday depending on where you are. It airs at 7:30 AM Sunday in Japan which is 5:30 PM Saturday in EST. Apparently it'll be available subbed on Crunchyroll (which seems to be a legitimate release) and dubbed (and maybe subbed) on Funi's subscription service.
The new anime is out and life literally just got 100 times better.
Do you want to watch literal innocence put up on the screen? Watch this.
I'm not convinced, I read the manga and its half "so boring" half "If you hurt this precious cinnamon roll I will gut you clamp!".
Can't we pretend that the first series was never animated, and do it again, with a few villains or cards that are eviler than just mischievous and last for more than one chapter? And consequences other than "I WILL ERASE LOVE!!!"

The first series (the japanese dub) is great to watch.
Yes, it's pretty much monster of the week, and there isn't much "action" but it's relaxing as fuck to watch, cute as all hell, and just nice.
Sometimes nice is good. Nice is awesome. Though it's not for everyone.
Felt the first episode was kind of rushed (though I feel like the capture cards in the Clear Card manga sometimes feels rushed too) but it was still good. Love the opening and ending. Also interesting that they're doing a mix of manga and anime continuity rather than strictly following the manga so I guess Meiling could show up at some point if they wanted. If they want to do more than this season they're probably going to have to do some filler so they could do it then I guess.
Heard that it is only about 26 episodes.
I followed a bit of the manga, but as long as it holds true to the spirit of the Japanese anime, then i'm satisfied.
It's actually only 22 episodes I think. And if they keep going at the pace of the first episode they won't even get 10 episodes before being caught up to the monthly manga. I expect plenty of filler, which could be fine since there was a lot of stuff in the original anime that wasn't in the manga and this new anime has the same team as the first one.
I can't remember if I ever saw the old series all the way through. It's kinda nice the series is a continuation I suppose lol.
It's a series that didn't really need a continuation (I would have preferred a continuation of Legend of Chun-Hyang or Legal Drug), but nobody's complaining either lol.
I watched the original series when it used to air on TV here, I think I was 9 years old.
Watching this first episode of the new series makes me fill with nostalgia, loved it!
Remember reading the manga thinking the love story ended on a cute note. Up for a reread before starting the new manga.
Funimation's website says their Clear Card dub starts on the 24th. Simuldub is a pretty misleading term if it takes several weeks to come out. I've never watched any of the other ones though so this is my first experience with one.
So the anime is indeed doing its own thing and not just adapting the manga. Meiling was mentioned in this episode so she might actually make an appearance.
Another great episode, good to see Meiling was referenced.
Tomoyo is pretty much the ultimate Hype man right?
Best episode so far. Great animation and they managed to fit a lot of content into this one episode.
Weird episode, don't know if I like it better than last weeks, but still so pretty and my Tomoyo-chan is amazing.
I never knew I needed more Cardcaptor Sakura, but apparently I did.
This is so nice. Just very sweet and cute. I haven't seen a straight-forward genuinely charming magical girl series in a while. It's either bad Madoka clone #3536 or Precure to choose from and neither really does it for me.
Precure in particular is pretty hollow from what I've personally tried. I don't straight-up love Cardcaptor Sakura, but it has at least some personality.
I can't recall the plot points with her brother. What was he referring to?
Tohya is very perceptive and probably actually knows about Sakura's card capturing at this point. He has magical potential himself, so that's the only connection I can think of.
I have no other guess what that scene could be all about, how his magical potential could play a role here or even whether it is connected to that at all. Maybe it's something different entirely.

The world fucking sucks, but Cardcaptor Sakura is a show that you can cuddle up with and feel just a bit better when you watch it.
That is the endearing legacy of the series, it's comfort food in the purest form, and you don't feel horrible afterwards.
It is indeed Pure. Not in the wierd Kyoani way or "let us sell you these toys" way. It's genuinely cute and sweet. Though I get the feeling it does also sell toys.
It is a cute and pure children show. Nice and all but I have zero interest in following it.
I can't recall the plot points with her brother. What was he referring to?
In the original series Toya gave all his magical powers to Yukito/Yue because Sakura couldn't sustain him by herself (Kero is associated with the sun so he has his own magic but Yue, and by extension Yukito, is associated with the moon and has to have a source of magic that isn't himself to survive). But now in Clear Card he's apparently found a way to get his power back but he's just being mysterious about it right now.
This week's episode was above and beyond better than last week's. Keeping it to one card per episode just feels more solid.
Also glad to see they are starting to sprinkle in that bigger picture story, real interested to see where this all falls. Jury still out on this Not-Sakura, but clearly Sakura new student.
Good episode. I like Akiho and we're actually getting to the plot here outside of just capturing cards. Next episode seems to be filler, though it's based on a short flashback that happened in the manga, so that's a pretty good way to do things. New chapter should be out in the next couple of days too so maybe we'll find out what happened in the last chapter.
Good episode spoiled by a wft sort of breakfast. Pancakes with broccoli? What the crap?
New chapter is out.
! So Sakura's great grandpa has something to give to Sakura. I wonder if it's going to be plot relevant or if it's just going to be a character moment. Sakura almost called Syaoran her boyfriend too so that's interesting. This chapter was pretty chill though with nothing that big happening, just some nice character moments and some character reintroductions. Though Kero and Yue are catching on that Eriol is hiding something so that's something. Still no explanations about the two big things that happened last chapter.
! Though Sakura is wearing the hairpin (both in this chapter and at the end of the last chapter) and I've seen some theories that the hairpin might have been enchanted or something. I still think the bear is more likely though since Yue doesn't seem to know what Eriol's up to and I can't think of any other reason he would give a magic hairclip to Sakura.
Cardcaptor Sakura is a cooking manga apparently lol.
The picnic stuff was good but the card capture in this episode was pretty bland I thought. The things the card was causing didn't match up to what it was. I guess they feel like there needs to be a card capture every episode but they could have just stuck with the picnic stuff I feel, especially since there was no mention of a card being captured in the flashback of this in the manga.
Question. Does the anime continue from the anime perspective or does it act like the manga's the original canon?
