Card Captor Sakura: Series
built 212 days ago
The Spanish/Portuguese version (Sakura Card Captors) was broadcast on Cartoon Network in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and the rest of Latin America. It was ... broadcast in San Diego, USA on XEWT. There were no name changes in this version, although the end-of chapter sub-section "Kero-chan ni Omakase" was removed, as well as the eyecatch animations; (except in North-Latin America) also the first opening and ending themes are used for the entire series, but changing the on-screen images for those of the second and third opening and ending sequences. The rest of the version is true to the original.

Throughout the CCS TV series Sakura faces many enemies she has to fight. While these sequences feature excellent spell animations, they are usually quite short. Most of the time is filled with other stuff, mainly the various characters interacting with each other. The first CCS movie is much like a regular TV episode. The beautiful designs remain the same, and there are more sequences exceeding the already excellent animation quality from the TV series. However, the movie feels merely like an extended TV episode where much of the focus is on the action bits.

Combining the magical girl aspects of Sailor Moon and the "catch'em all" successes of Pocket Monsters, CLAMP, (a group of all-female manga artists) found success with the Card Captor Sakura series. The lighthearted romp is (for the first season anyway), uncharacteristic of CLAMP or the animating studio Mad House (known for "Wicked City"). The series garnered attention Stateside because of its cute character designs and realistic (other than the part about catching magical cards) look at Japanese elementary school life.
