Whoa, Sakura and Akiho in their white outfits. Nice.

The episode featured a lot of storytelling which I thought was pretty well interesting about the fox. A storyteller like that feels magical for a show like this. Anyways, I expect pacing to pick up again next episode. Personally, I want to see this main conflict resolve once and for all. However, the way that Sakura and Akiho narrated that story was really well done.

That was a really charming episode.

Sakura's attack would reduce anyone's HP to 0. XD

Even I was pretty invested in the story with the fox, they narrated it beautifully with really charming visuals. Li's piano arrangement in the background flowed really well with it as well.
I loved the part where Li got things in control.

That ending, interesting. She was able to record the past and what's more interesting is that there are only 4 people before Sakura who were able to manage that feat. Kero and Yue are definitely gonna be extra cautious from this point onward cause I guess whatever the big event was, is gonna happen soon.

Syaoran with some English there, I remember him using it a couple of times in the original series.

Sakura's attack reduced their hp to 0 lol.

His 4 sisters are all very lively, must have been an interesting life when he lived with them all.

Kero would never leave Akiho's place, they serve up chocolates that good looking, Momo is very spoiled.

I think they both did a really good job telling that story, I forgot how good Syaoran was at the piano, Ahiko even sang a bit for us.

I am a bit worried about what happened at the end there, I hope that Sakura's powers become incredibly strong aren't a bad thing.

Syaoran was too cute this episode. I wanna wrap him in blankets, feed him, and play peekaboo.

I am actually quite curious to know who the other three strong magicians are. I can't stop thinking of Fai and Yuuko.

I was not a fan of the storytelling that took up a majority of the episode. It just seemed like unrelated filler. If the story about the mother fox and her son is related to the main story in any way, I would be surprised as nothing seems to be related to each other at this point in time.

On the other hand, Li's and Tomoyo's, especially Li's, roles were much appreciated. I liked how he brought the children's attention back to Sakura and Akiho's storytelling, despite how weird as it sounded. XD

Kero and Yue are very concerned about Sakura being as powerful as she is. I can't help but think that worry is them knowing something that's fairly life or death. I hope it's not like Lyrical Nanoha where becoming too powerful too fast put her life in jeopardy because her body was too underdeveloped to handle it. I'm very concerned now.
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Enjoyed the story with the fox, but felt it was long-winded and simply filler.

Li with his piano skills and Akiho with her singing saved the day, though. Sort of?

Sakura and her magic have grown much stronger, causing Yue and Kero to become worried about her - enough that they now must contact Eriol because of it.

Anyway, I hope everything can be resolved in the next 2 episodes or else I'll be disappointed.

Things are starting to happen~ I wonder who the other 3 people are that Kero mentioned that had really strong magic.

The story reading filler dragged on, but the beginning and ending were funny and interesting ^.^

Who else was disappointed with this episode?

For me, it was really terrible given that we're just 3 episodes away from the finale, it would have been okay, if a second season of this arc is certain. Can't believe that they would still make fillers like these in this last few eps? The revelation in the end does not even cut it.

I doubt what happened here will have significance taking in consideration what they're building up in last episodes.

I guess this is a really bad filler.

Nice episode, its a story telling time about fox and mitten... hmmm!!! And Sakura has been shocked that what she have recorded using her clow card is in the past...

In the end of episode it has said that only few could only do that (and sakura magic is becoming stronger).. does this mean that something big will happen? Hmmm!!! Only 3 more episodes left so lets see what will happen on it

Next week's episode might prove my suspicions about Akiho. Next episode is about Sakura' visiting his grandfather and his probably telling a story about her mom. Here's a quick screenshot.

I really think Sakura's mom is from another timeline/reality who shows up in order to prevent something catastrophic related to Sakura acquiring new powers. Her mom is a direct descendant of Clow also.

What a nice story! I'm glad the hat maker was nice to his client even though it wasn't a human (money makes the world go round after all), it was nice, I felt like part of the audience.

Also great to see they mentioning how big Sakura's magic has become again, a pity she didn't get what was happening and couldn't enjoy the little trip to the past, that Record card is actually great.

OMG Record did something... but it didn't really do what it was intended to do. That said, Sakura is apparently super good at magic or something??

Anyways, besides the ending this episode is 100% filler, bois.

Sakura doesn't fully understand how to use the Record Card. It showed her something about the past or did she just travel back in time and she did notice.

Any idea who are the other 4 beside Sakura? I think Yuuko Ichihara should be one of them.

The story wasn't terrible, but we could have shortened that down.

The Syaoran call bit was amusing to be sure. But yeah the big moment was at the end. Sakura's powers apparently getting so intense that she can record the past without even intending to do so. Not that I'd think getting stronger is a bit negative. But I suppose it is a bit unsettling how strong she is at that age. Her powers are maturing rapidly and it isn't as if she's even trying that hard.

Wow, they sure took their time with the fox story huh...
If the final moral isn't "yeah you can find some nice people but that doesn't mean you should lower your guard, especially if it means getting in a dangerous situation" then I can't think of it as a good story for children.

Now, about what actually matters:
Sakura lowering Syaoran's HP to zero was so cute. Poor boy, doesn't stand a chance against her.
I can identify with people sending a bunch of silly videos to me. That's really annoying.

The reading was cute and all, but really streched out, it felt like the staff didn't know how to fill the twenty minutes so they decided to do the whole story there.

It was interesting to see Record show the past, now I can say that this card os useful. It would be great to solve crimes lol.

Why is it a problem that Sakura is super powerful? Is she gonna explode from so much magic or something like that?
At the end of the manga it was defined that she was the most powerful person on earth but in the anime I don't really know if that counts.

Something tells me next episode is gonna be full of aaaaaaaawns (and that something is the manga spoilers I saw when the chapter was out, damn you internet).

I really like this season, but I'm not feeling this episode I just watched...
I was really happy to see Syoran's sisters though... (Anyone else notice that their dresses match some of the outfits Sakura has worn?)

I'm really curious as to who the 4 magicians are... One is Clow, for sure...
Is one Yuko?
How is this season gonna relate to what happened in Tsubasa Chronicle? If at all.

I know they probs shouldn't worry about it too much... But knowing Clamp's attention to detail they're probably not going into this without thinking about Tsubasa's stuff.

And omg Nadeshiko's hair is so cute, I can't wait to see more of it...
But uh... With that hair color... What if Sakura and Akiho are related somehow?
Or hell, what if Akiho comes from the western branch of Clow Reed's family?

Well, being honest, this probably was my least favorite episode (ok, it also means being the worst one in other words). And if the whole fox story ends up not being relevant for the main plot well then, this was pure filler... excluding the last scene, of course.

That aside, it was an ok episode. It had its good moments but due to the fact that most of it was about the story, I found it a bit boring but that is just my opinion.

Now, based on the preview, I'm really looking forward to the next ep. Can't wait to see loli Nadeshiko again.

Yep, it's a pure filler episode. They didn't even created a card for this one.

Despite I didn't mind the story, It's kind a bummer nothing actually happened.

Anyway, next episode it's not a filler at least. Apparently my predictions is also correct and this season will end on chapter 24 of the manga.
Prepare for a lot information dump in this next episodes.

His sisters seem like a lot of fun. And the girls seemed to have a lot of fun, there weren't any cards to cause trouble this time around, and we got to see Record in action again. It was filler, but I enjoyed it.

ACTULLY HER DAD IS THE CLOW DECENDANT: BEFORE CLOW DIED HE SPLIT HIS MAGIC: ONE IS ERIOL AND THE OTHER SAKURA'S DAD (thats cuz clow saw the future and knew the new card owner will be a girl and that it will be her and also he predicted that shes the key to prevent some huge disaster.
akiho is definitly not her mother in another timeline' nadeshiko in another time line is only the one from tsubasa

well this episode pretty much confirms some related things to tsubasa as tsubasa had clues about what will happen in CCS universe. becuz:



the 3 magicainas with such power that they talked about but didnt mention the names besides clow's are definitly: (KERO MENTIONED THAT HE MET THEM: AND IN THE MANGA HE DID MET WITH ALL OF THOSE)

it all freaking connects!

got a bit sleepy watching the story telling.
even there's no card capturing action the interesting part was Sakura was able to record something past 30 years!? but did she record something irrelevant past 30 years? or is it relevant to anything relating to her?
They also said that Sakura's powers keep getting strong huh...i mean that's a good thing right? but why are the others still concerned about that!?
4/5.

I actually enjoyed the storytelling this episode. The mother fox story made me sad, imagining Sakura reading about how a mother's voice is something gentle, yet she herself doesn't have many memories of her mom... and never got to experience really having a mom. I'm sure it connects. Next episode is with the grandpa, so it has to.

Wei and the sisters-! Wow the directors or whoever are being nice to us with these gifts (Meiling, Rika).
Three other magicians... Yuuko, Fei Wang Reed...? Who is the third? Fai?

The manga isn't even finished so I hope we get another season. It's hard to imagine anything being wrapped up with only 3 episodes left.

You people serious? Getting to see Li's family was gold! I find it weird all his sisters would speak in Japanese, but whatever.

I also would like to know the other three people. As others have said, it boils down to Fei Wong Reed, Yuuko, and Fai.

Wait a minute, could Akiho be Sakura's mother? The hair color certainly matches.

Also, they looked great in those berets, and Shaoran was great on the organ.

Sakura can travel back into the past. She's more powerful than Yue or Kero ever thought she'd be.
