The episodes that mark the end of the first season of this charming series have an ominous tone. Sakura is haunted by a recurring dream in which she confronts a mysterious long-haired woman atop Tokyo Tower: is it her math teacher, Ms. Mizuki? The relations between the characters shift and tensions grow: Sakura's older brother Toya clearly dislikes Shaoran Li, who is jealous of Sakura's friendship with Yuki. Sakura and Shaoran have to work together to defeat the increasingly powerful Clow Cards, and an attraction may be growing between them. The obstreperous Meilin, who clings to Shaoran as if he were magnetized, is jealous of Sakura. Kero worries about these developments, but he also realizes that as Sakura captures more of the enchanted Cards, he's regaining his magical powers--which he demonstrates in Wonderful Christmas. Rated 13 Up, but appropriate for children three to four years younger. --Charles Solomon

Cardcaptors is what pulled me into Anime. My daughter played Pokemon & I enjoyed the adventures of Team Rocket, but I happened to see Yue standing there, wings & all &, loving angels, I had to watch more. Cardcaptor Sakura is so much better than the butchered version we were given here in the U.S. as Cardcaptors. The story gives us a sweet view of a loving family as well as action, adventure, mystery & humor. In this edition we are already getting clues to the 2nd season climax with Yue, Ms. Mitsuki & the Tokyo Tower. Cardcaptors was so heavily cut & pasted together while Cardcaptor Sakura is nicely paced out over about 70 eps. In English we kept hearing how the Judge had to be impartial, yet Yukito always seems to give Sakura the clue she needs to solve the problem & capture the card, so it is interesting to see uncut those eps. How much more does Toya know than he's letting on? The big brother bits are sooo sweet, & how much does he know about Yukito? Ms. Mitsuki & Toya were involved in the past, Tomoya & Sakura are related through their mothers--there's a whole lot more at work in the original version.
The monthly manga just made it past the judgement & would be enjoyable to all those who love this show. Kero calling Yukito a boy toy is worth (the money).

As the last DVD in this season, this disc only contains three episodes. The standard 4-a-disc will resume with the 10th. I shouldn't have to convince you to buy this; this stuff is cute anime ... Only thing that's bothering me is the apparent lack of Vol. 8, which is not available here at Amazon. It seems to be available at other [local stores], so hopefully Amazon will get some in soon!

Okay, now that I got that out of me, this is kawaii. I mean, I know that all of this series is, but I have to say it again. Acctually, I've seen a lot of anime, and their dubs, but this remains my favorite. For those who are not sure about trying an original anime, Cardcaptor Sakura will give you a boost. Anyway, this dvd starts off with "SAkura's Freezing Ice Skating" where Shaorans crush on Sakura blossoms. Of coarse, it's mild here, but it's pretty cute. The card is freeze, (duh) which turns a skating lesson into a crash coarse. This did make the dub, however, the dub's missing a couple of scenes. Next is an episode which, I think, is cute. Sakura is informed about a town quiz and decides to enter. Since partners are needed, she enters with Yukito, naturally. They get to the last question and things get kinda freaky.Because of the Japanese writting in this one, it wasn,t included in the dub. Third is the last episode of the first season, with FIREY. This is one of the most brutally cut-up episodes there are. Sakura's supposed to have been trying to get Yukito to go to the amusement park with her, it wasn't accidental. Not to mention the absence of Shaoran and Tomoyo's homo-sexuality. All in all, this is a great ending to the first season of this wonderfull series. I strongly encourage everyone to take a look.
