Mm, this turned out into a fun little outdoor trip for Sakura and her friends.
I have to admit, it's cute seeing the girls with those animal ears.

Biggest selling point of this episode is probably the characters actually becoming the animals themselves lol. An ususual style of storytelling but funny too.

The Sakura and Syaoran moment was cute.

I too would be frightened if I wake up with someone staring at me like that.

Yamazaki is probably right about a mysterious power stopping him from his speeches.

Now everyone is becoming an animal, still a bit surprising that Sakura is the only one that can see it, I would think Syaoran & Meiling could because of their strong magic powers.

Syaoran to the rescue, great moment between him and Sakura during that part.

The mirage clear card, made things interesting for a while but incredible dangerous as well, good thing Sakura was able to capture it.

Fantastic episode.

The Sakura x Li moments this episode were so adorable and touching. <3
Both the part where he sees her for the first time with her new hairstyle and the moment where he breaks through the dimension after stopping time and urging her to stay strong were really beautiful. <3

Speaking of which, I never realized Sakura changed her hairstyle till they Tomoyo mentioned it. xD

So, we've got the Mirage card now. What's next?

Okay episode.

I did like the Syaoran x Sakura moment a lot since it didn't feel like it was just thrown in but actually felt genuine and important to Sakura and her confidence.

Other parts were fine but nothing to write home about.

I'm not too fond this Sakura. She is far too weak. I watched the original CCS because she was a force to reckon with but now. She needs Station for every battle. She had help in fighting the cards in the original, but she beat the cards all by herself in the end.

this episode felt like a big fever dream LOL
luckily Syaoran came in to save the day with his stand Za Warudo
in all seriousness, I can give this episode props at least for being kind of... unique?
it was really f*cking weird for Cardcaptor Sakura standards lol but fun to watch

It got slightly emotional between Sakura and Syaoran there.

I liked this episode, happy to see Meiling hanging around.

You were expecting Dio, but it was HIM, SYAORAN!

My favorite episode so far. I hope Meiling stays till the end of the arc.

I'm gonna be honest, this is probably one of the best Cardcaptor Sakura episode til date. It was fantastic, to say the least.

That Syaoran and Sakura moment was amazing, the best one in the whole series for me, including the OG anime. Syaoran is really powerful which is good to see, it's sad though that he believes that he's not strong enough because he can't aid Sakura as much as he'd like to.

The embrace was the best part of the episodes

This was one of the best episodes of the series so far. I feel like for the first time in a long time this episode has recaptured the "soul" of the original series. Also, that SakuraxShaoran moment was everything. They both care for and trust each other so deeply, it's beautiful. Shaoran definitely used the Time card, there's no doubt about it. This means somehow he right now is in the possession of the Sakura cards, which is obviously causing him a lot of guilt.

HNNNNNNNNG maaaaaaaaan that hug, it's a killer.
This episode is worth it just for that.
But I wish I could have watched it yesterday so I could have avoided seeing so many spoilers. I mean, it's not like much happened at the end but this one moment was special and I think I'd have received further damage if I hadn't seen it all over the internet before watching.
Doesn't matter, still enjoyed it very much.

And yeah, I would have chosen the zoo, no offense but seeing bowls in a shrine doesn't seem as fun as seeing cute animals. But maybe I would feel bad for them since they are locked up.
Seeing your friends turning into animals? That seems exciting. For a moment I thought they would all run after her in a predatory way, now that would be fun.
But I was disappointed there was no Syaoran with wolf ears, that would have been brilliant.

Now, a serious question: where is Syaoran's furniture? I know minimalism is the new thing, but you need a comfortable home to be there forever, you know, together, that thing.
What about the lamps? It feels like he is always in the dark and the only source of light is either computer or magic.
Please don't pull some bs on me.

I really liked this episode. Animation was great, SakuSyaoran moment was so cute that made my chest hurt.
Meiling is so nice, to see her character development is great.

I'll never get tired of this series.

Argh... my heart... that hug...

Great episode, I enjoyed it a lot. The moment between Sakura and Shaoran was really cute and it didn't feel forced at all. He can't help her as much as he wants to but at least, he's there as a support for her and to encourage her when she needs it.

Sooo the next ep. they will be watching the recording of the play! I'm really looking forward to it then.

P.S.: That was absolutely The Time Card's magic Shaoran used!!!

syaosaku invented romance

That was unexpectedly so emotional, and beautiful, and genuinely the most CCS thing to happen. This boy just stopped time and sliced through another dimension knowing he has a facade to keep up but drops it to comfort sakura through a /panic attack/.
Meiling is a sweetie, I hope she sticks around for longer. She brought back the heart of the series with those little moments between everyone. "You call her Sakura, huh?" ... "Did you tell Kinomoto-san what you thought of her hair?" lmao

They mention how he feels bad for not being able to do more, or Meiling feeling bad for not having magic. I wonder how Tomoyo feels through this. I wish they gave us a glimpse into her psyche sometimes during more serious conversations (we did in previous seasons and in the movie with her making the battle costumes, but still!).

Can I say how cuuuuuuuuute this episode was? So very cute :D

Namely, all the friends slowly turning into animals, though terrifying, was cute! I can empathise with Sakura~

What was even cuter were the Sakura x Syaoran moments - from their first encounter in this episode (noticing Sakura's new hair-do) to their time alone when Syaoran stopped time (so cool!! and somewhat reminiscent again of the Final Judgement, kind of?)

Next ep. shows us that the second movie is canon (well I suppose we did already see this earlier~!

P.S. For Yamazaki to get interrupted this many times while trying to spin a tale, it's amusing yet also feel sorry that he can't finish his little spiel ^^;

P.S.S. Syaoran when conjuring the ball of magic (because what is it, really?) looked super (in)tense and serious... obviously it drains his energy supply, so please look after yourself Syaoran!

The Sakura and Syaoran moments really made this episode great for me. I was satisfied with Syaoran just getting embarrassed by how cute he thought Sakura was with her new haircut, but that precious moment where he held her and properly called her "Sakura" without any honorifics was just pure gold. Those two were one of my first ever ships from way back when I started watching anime, and it's nice to see the fruit of their relationship coming alive. I hope we get to see him compliment her hair in the next episode - that would be precious.

I would also like to take a moment to take about Meiling. I know it's likely she's going to disappear again after the next episode or two, but I feel she is a very significant character when it comes to Sakura's development as a person. Although she is an anime exclusive character, she brought so many things to the anime and it wouldn't be the same without her.

It's very interesting to see how Syaoran's powers have developed. Meiling knows that he is overexerting himself to make himself stronger for Sakura's sake, but I didn't realize how powerful he's becoming. First the massive fire and now the ability to stop time. That's pretty damn impressive, but I know for a fact there are still some secrets that need to be unfolded on Syaoran's side of things.

lolz Takashi Yamazaki stores even gets more interrupted!
That was a nice hug by Sakura & Shaoran!
Shaoran is traning much harder and his magic to stop time is very difficult for him but it paid-off nicely!
4/5.

It was only me or that part that Toya and Yue chatted about Toya's power was a mind blower??

Sakura and Syaoran's relationship is growing by the time, but only Sakura is feeling new spirits to binding them into the clear cards. Someone thought about it?

When people get transformed into animals in anime it's usually cute, creepy, or both. This time it was a bit of both. Of course my favorite was Meiling turning into a kitty :3

Sakura thought that she was losing her mind with all the animal ears and tails, but it was simply the work of a card.

It got slightly emotional between Sakura and Syaoran there.

I liked this episode, happy to see Meiling hanging around.
@agilityredfox Agreed, it was a touching moment.

This also made me find Tomoya fall into the very cute girl list. That outfit was perfect on her.
