Before going into work earlier this evening, I watched this episode, and to my astonishment, I didn't get much enjoyment out of it. It just felt 'fine' to me. Not good, not bad, just OK. It didn't help that I did not feel one ounce of nostalgia off it which should have naturally derived from the many years I watched the original series. Not feeling nostlagia from an anime that should have given me those feelings crushed me a little inside, and it even made me hate on both myself and anime for hours on end. Needless to say, I couldn't let this be, so I re-watched this episode after returning home from work, and my opinion of it changed drastically! So much, that it's on par now with the prequel. What made me the most happiest about re-watching this episode again though was that I could feel a spark of nostalgia this time around just after Sakura obtained the Gale Card.

All I can say is... if I did not see this episode (or this anime as whole) as nothing less than a Masterpiece 10/10, I would have given up all hope on anime completely.

Finally, a sequel didn't felt a cash grab! I want more of these

I wish to see more grown up Sakura, but we still got the same Sakura instead. I don't see much different between the old Sakura and the new Sakura.

about the story, it looks like the cards going to evolve to the advanced level through "clearing".
from Windy to Gale
as for next week, it looks like from Maze to Prison/Room.

My childhood anime and memories came back after seeing it this again
same VA, same bgm, so nostalgic

I was sad when Sakura and Syaoran separated in the last movie
but they are together again, so ROMANTIC all over again




Though expecting Sakura to roller blades to school but she doesn't use it anymore
kinda sad, thats the Sakura I know when she go to school

This brought back so many memories from when I first watched the show so long ago.

The show looks absolutely gorgeous, I find the modern art style quite fitting, and the girls are as cute as they've ever been. Syaoran entering the scene with Sakura meeting him was heartwarming to say the least. And Tomoyo filming their sweet embrace made me giggle.

I can't wait to see all the new outfits Sakura will get and what the show will have in store from here on.

Also liked the recap at the start of the show.

So its a sequel, which means they're already a couple. But no one wants to watch a pairing AFTER they've already gotten together; granted, this series is more than the romance but still, I predict drama.

This didn't miss a beat, it feels the same as it did so many years ago when I was just a kid. I am so happy to have CCS back in my life.

I teared up when Sakura and Shaoran hugged (that moment right before they realized Tomoyo was filming them) thinking about how much my CCS-obsessed 9-year-old self had longed for this, for them-for this sequel. It's really crazy. I could've died before it was even announced and my childhood dream would've remained unfulfilled. But you know, rather than thinking I was lucky, I believe it was all... inevitable.

When the news came that another series of Cardcaptor was being made I couldn’t wait. I have a few questions but it might be just some continuity errors. In the first episode when Sakura remanences when Syaoran was leaving, they were both in the airpot and Syaoran gives her the bear. But in the recent OVA it was at the bus station which where she gives him the bear. I thought this was the new cannon ending from the original series.

Spoilers from the movie/OVA/last series:


Anyway, did anyone notice that background track of OP 3 instrumental, that was a nice touch.

"guys,we're late to sequel for 20 years, so gather the bunch up and roll the series"

Anyway, so many nostalgia for the characters show up one by one in eps 1, it's scary and awesome that everyone of the character have the same seiyuu 20 years before, sure is the seiyuu of japan has dedication the his/her work that they can produce the same voices as before especially if there is 20 years gap........

In before the gap, there is technology gap of the series: Smartphone! which bring us to Tomoyo, thumbs up for her for being such utilitarian for still carrying Handycam (not Go pro /action camera of such) wherever she goes.

And CMIIW, is this series have the anime series Canon instead of manga? If i remember the teddy bear exhange is anime only scene and she has 53 cards in this clear card chapter,so the second movie is canon too?.

The only thing that bugs me is that they kind of mixed the end of the anime and manga (OVA) with the bear stuff.

Lord, I squealed like a little girl, after seeing the sequel to one of my most favorite anime from my childhood. I like that this show almost does not differ from the original in terms of atmosphere, cast and direction, although the voices of the characters seem more artificial, since it's been 18 years now. But I'm still glad that I can see it.

OMG! it has been 18 years!
and from madhouse as well!
it was so cute when Sakura hugged Shaoran out of sheer joy...and lol Daijouji captured it all!
Just a question: since the prequel was 1998-2000, do they use smartphones? or the old type phones? hahah!
5/5.

Just as I expected, an Anime with cute girls in it will never be completely fulfilling without male characters included. This show's first episode IMHO is a million times more fun and entertaining to watch than Toji no Miko.
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

Eeeeeehhhhhhh I never finished the original series but if that little recap in the beginning was a basic explanation of everything that happened in the original I'M PRETTY MUCH GOOD TO GO. And it look exactly like how my nostalgia makes it appear in my head, they haven't change a bit... since 2016... which is when I watched... part of it... I'm assuming I didn't miss too much... Nope, I missed a HELL OF A LOT. Still watching this anyway though. Outro was great too.

This episode was fantastic. The set up was great and helped to remind viewers of the characters and also set up the plot as well. The visuals were also vibrant and colorful, and the music was very engaging and catchy. I'm so hyped for this.

honestly only wanted to check it out for the nostalgia since the last time i watched cardcaptors you would've needed to use a tv guide to find out when it was on lol.

regardless of my lack of memory of the old series i didn't completely feel left out, animation/art is real good (love the movement in the ED)

Both Digimon and Sailor Moon should learn a lesson from this. Sailor Moon Crystal was a remake but if it had kept all of the elements from the original, it would have been so better. Instead it tried something entirely new and most nostalgia fans were disappointed. Same with Digimon, changed a couple of things compared to the previous seasons and tried to do something new.

Anyway, I enjoyed the episode and I am glad that Madhouse did not try to change the animation style or anything else compared to the first season. Just surprised Sakura is all over Syaoran like that, I mean I know they did confess in the second movie but in my eyes, it felt a little forced the way she acted on the first episode.

The ending of the original was satisfying but people wanted more.
The way they handled her losing the cards and giving her a new weapon/saying to make it refreshing yet not changing much.

Damn, Syaoran, took you long enough to finish what you were doing in Hong Kong. Feels like it's been almost 20 years. If anyone's wondering, this arc came out in 2016, there's 19 chps.

I like that they changed the artstyle slightly. I like how they modernized slightly with the touch screen cell phones but keeping the camcorder.

Imagine if Tomoyo had a yt channel.

Rika @5:35 goes to another school, still weirded out about her fiance/teacher, Terada in the manga.

Yes. I actually agree with you on this one. Barely. At the very least, to be fair, this is thus far the most well-handled out of all the unnecessary, nostalgia-grab, anniversary-celebrating sequel projects. Even though it did screw with the canon. Urgh.

All that's left is to see if it's actually a story worth telling or something they came up as an excuse to shove nostalgia in our faces.

I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED I WAS LOSING MY SH*T OVER HERE AND LIKE NO ONE ELSE CARED. MUH GURLS ARE ALL IN THE SAME UNIVERSE. ♥♥ That said I'm glad she's at another school so we don't have to hear about her and creepy pedo teacher. I'm sure they did that on purpose with all the backlash over that ahaha (though their relationship was omitted from the anime and became a one-sided crush thank god).

I did not know about her VA passing away though, that is very sad.
