Lol the Mario Kart reference.

The character chemistry between Sakura and Meiling is really charming this season including this episode. What a nice episode of appreciation. The part with Sakura and Syaoran were cute as well from their memories.

Tomoya stood out this episode as well with her trusty camera. Her mom is pretty awesome too.

Seems business is finally picking up with that cliffhanger.

Hehe Kero playing Mario Kart was adorable~

I'm surprised she didn't capture a card this episode, it's usually 1 fight per episode, seems like this card might pose a bigger threat for her this time?

The pacing has really slowed down since Episode 2. This was all fluff.

I like that Kero is basically playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe though.

Is it just me or does the episode preview look like we're getting mecha in this series? Never mind, the girl just looks like the Fight Card. The Clear Card Arc is getting weird.

The best thing about this episode was the sweet Mario Kart reference.

Otherwise, yet another fine episode that doesn't feel anything special.

This show is having a long streak of just "fine" episodes now and I would like it to end with something actually exciting and good. Hope its over next week after that cliffhanger.

Well, same with Meiling.. probably the scene about the second movie only happen in anime.. I never read the manga clear card hen though
I like Furina, I love Furina.

Great episode again.

Kero playing Mario Kart was great.

We get stronger hints if not confirmation on the book that Akiho reads being directly related to the events that Sakura has been experiencing of late.

Was nice seeing the play again, Embarrassed Sakura is so adorable. <3

I really wanted to hear Tomoyo's singing again. :(
I assume the card that's causing trouble is the Quake card or something along those lines.

I love how dedicated Tomoyo is to filming Sakura. XD

We get to see Tomoyo's mansion again, especially her own media room, little theater, or whatever you may call it.

That flight card is so adorable as always.

I'm starting to think there's going to be a season 2 of Clear Card-hen given the pacing in the anime compared to the manga. While the writing is being done fairly differently to the manga there just seems to be too much fluff and not enough plot addressing given its length. That's fair play though as the original series had almost as much filler as canon content but it lent itself greatly to filler as it's already a primarily episodic series. I'll be happy if there ends up being a season 2 cause I'd rather they not squeeze most of the story oriented episodes into the last 7 episodes.

Meiling's development as a character is the best thing about this reboot so far. She's the only character who seems to have changed at all from the original series, and in a good way.
with this episode, I'm kind of confused about the continuity of this reboot? so the second movie happened here? but wasn't the OVA supposed to be the replacement for the second movie in this canon? I'm confused... either way, this episode was mostly filler and really nothing special in my opinion. about halfway through the season and still hardly any plot development whatsoever... sigh...

Everything Akiho said at the start it what's been happening in the last couple of episodes, it might be fun for her but Sakura has had quite a tough time.

Mario Kart! well something that closely resembles it.

That white rabbit Akiho has is featured quite a bit in this episode, probably won't be long now until it comes to life like it shows in the opening.

I was waiting for that moment Sonomi got to meet Sakura again, nice to see she's as lively as ever,

What a cool home theater that is, I also thought that play was truly wonderful.

No surprise Tomoyo had a lot of fun filming the best parts of Sakura & Syaoran together.

An earthquake, just like in that play.

That Snooze card will always be one of the best, just being able to put people to sleep and keep them aware from harm plus also Sakura hiding her magic identity.

We have to wait until next episode to see what happens next, not often we get left on an ending like that.

Another relaxing episode. I wish the plot would pick up a bit more... I like these slice of life moments watching Sakura with her friends and family, but it's a magical girl series, so I'm waiting for the plot outside of the slice of life elements to unfold, and with seven episodes to go, there are still a lot of unanswered questions I'm dying to learn about.

Man, Tomoyo is lucky with that huge ass house xD Also, I loved Tomoyo's dress, the colors were so aesthetically pleasing.

Was I the only one who felt kind of bad for Sakura? She was clearly very embarrassed during that whole movie rewatch.

I think Clear Card is really trying to appeal to nostalgia, bringing back characters like Meiling, showing flashbacks from the movie... I swear, every episode, someone tells another character, "You never change" as if the show really wants the audience to reconnect with the original CCS. I'm all for nostalgia, but I just want to see more new moments.

I liked the episode overall, but I really want Clear Card to make me LOVE this season. Hoping for more in the next week or so!

The cards are definitely getting stronger, so much now that Sakura absolutely needs a Kero or Li assist to solidify her captures.

I'm not worried about the pacing, it has been slow but I think the show is right where it needs to be.

quick edit - the animation has REALLY been on point last couple of epds, I'm enjoying it.

HAHA OMG What is this new type of bullying. Seriously, all her shame resonated within me, I laughed during the whole thing from feeling so nervous.
The staff must really love this movie, they don't even care about continuity problems or plot holes. I can't blame them, at this point I also don't give a shit. Just give me more of my OTP and everything is forgiven.
Gosh, I'm so cheap.

Okay, from the beggining, I don't get why we haven't seen the rabbit move and talk yet since the ed already makes it pretty clear. Also, Kaito makes me uncomfortable.

The phone call between Sakura and Syaoran was so cute, but I feel like they are never together enough this season. They actually went out more when they didn't like each other lol.
But if he was there I'd just feel bad for him, he would have died of shame.

Sakura was so happy-go-lucky, poor thing, what a trap it was.
If you pay attention you can sense the exact moment the card decides to act:
Akiho: Awn, where's the rest.
Tomoyo: Unfortunately, there was an earthquake, so there's no end.
Sakura: I wish an earthquake would take me out of here.
Card: I hear you loud and clear.

I wasn't expecting this to continue next week so it was surprising that we got to the middle of the episode and nothing had happened yet. So, seems like we'll have a lot of things happening next according to the preview.
Baby, daijobanai...

It looks like the next episode features a clear card version of the fight card-except she's red instead of blue .
I've been enjoying the new episode . But so far I still prefer the original serise
Ofc Last week's episode was great ! but each episode seems to be..just a bit too short....

Meiling is an anime original character, so I'm guessing Madhouse is just adding in anime original stuff for those who don't read the manga. Just a guess!

I've always assumed it was Kaito controlling the everything, but now there's an earthquake that puts Akiho in harm... Doesn't make sense >.<

Another "nostalgia" episode and yes, it seems the plot has become slower again but to be truly honest... I really don't care :D

I loved this ep. as much as the other "filler" ones. It was nice to see the play again (and Rika in the background ehmm...) and how embarrassed Sakura looked. I was smilling during the whole episode.

P.S.: Too bad the card had to show up during Tomoyo's singing -.-

I cannot explain how happy it makes me that meilin is in multiple episodes. I thought she was going to be in one or two. This episode was so cute. I loved seeing the play.
And I love meilin's character a lot in this. I've always loved her even when she was a little brat xD but she's just so sweet in this.
I'm excited to see the next episode. Finally a card haha. And one they have to fight with.
As much as I love that there is a new series it seems so different than the old one. I feel like there something missing that I wish it had.
But I'm still loving these. I can't wait until some more serious things happen.

I really liked Sakura's reactions to watching her act in the play. She went back and forth between being embarrassed and being really into it and enjoying the nostalgic memories of the time she spent with Syaoran.

And that was great seeing Tomoyo instantly change her mood and start to get embarrassed when they showed the video of her singing. You don't usually see Tomoyo like this. Sakura was like "wait just a second you're on the hook too, don't just make this about me."

I'm okay with the movie 2 stuff being canon while also adding stuff from the manga's ending. I think you're supposed to take it like the events of movie 2 weren't really that relevant or important to the main plot going forward, and was just a little extra side plot that happened, similar to how movie 1 is treated. And I guess they just retconned the part where Eriol's house got demolished, that's fine.

Seems the norm for this 2nd cour is to alternate between a slice of life episode where nothing much happens and it ends with a cliffhanger, and then a more Cardcaptor-focused episode where some main plot development happens. I think maybe they're trying to slow down the pacing enough so that they don't have to go past where the manga currently is, and that means there will be enough material for a movie sequel or even a whole other season! I'm all for this slower pacing.

I hated that this episode left on a cliffhanger. However, it has not been the best episode so far, since it seemed to mainly recap one of the movies for the majority of the episode. Still, it is always adorable to see the chemistry between Sakura and Syaoran.

Well, same with Meiling.. probably the scene about the second movie only happen in anime.. I never read the manga clear card hen though

Yea i haven't read it either but i don't think they'll connect the movie or the OVA.


I'm really enjoying this series so far i mean it's not as good as it was before but it's better giving they started this series without any back story to support it.

Watching that episode made me really want to rewatch the second movie. I absolutely loved watching that, and it was sweet that we got to recapture the memories back from when Sakura and Syaoran were still in elementary school. This anime is just making me verrrry happy with the cuteness of the main couple, so adorable.

We got quite a few snippets of Momo in that so I have got to assume that she'll be seen as a familiar properly at some point soon. Also, it's interesting to hear about how Akiho is deciphering this book about Alice and how it connects to the real-life events going on with Sakura. At the moment, I can only guess that Kaito has already read this "book" and making it a reality with Sakura instead.

Nice Nintendo Switch cameo.

I haven't watched neither the prologue nor the 2nd movie so I don't care much about these inconsistencies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Well, they'll be reflected on the score I'm going to give to this show, but you know what I mean.

Let's hope that Tomoyo's house doesn't become damaged by whatever card is causing the quake.

So I guess the Second Movie's canon, I guess it fits since the original left off before summer vacation, even if the manga/prologue OVA didn't, was pretty cool to see the characters quite literally relive old moments. I gotta wonder what Sakura did with her old hair clips though
