The Anniversary Brothers TV Podcast: Cardcaptor Sakura 25th Anniversary

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here for their May TV retrospective.
This time they’re talking about something a little more niche,
Cardcaptor Sakura.


Cardcaptor Sakura is a fantasy anime based on the manga by Clamp.
It premiered in Japan on April 7, 1998. Running for 70 episodes,
the series ended on March 21, 2000. One of two English
localizations, entitled Cardcaptors, ran on Kids’ WB and Toonami
in the earlier 2000s. 


Cardcaptor Sakura follows a ten-year-old girl named Sakura
Kinomoto (Sakura Tange), who must retrieve a collection of
magical artifacts called the Clow Cards. Aiding Sakura are her
friends Syaoran (Mokoto Kumai) and Tomoyo (Junko Iwao), as well
as the Clow Card guardians Kero (Aya Hisakawa, Masaya Onosaka)
and Yue (Megumi Ogata).


Cardcaptor Sakura received two movies as well as a sequel,
Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card, which is based on the manga of the
same name.


Aaron and Josh discuss their exposure to the Kids’ WB dub before
going into their thoughts on the series proper, covering the
plot, characters, and animation.


For more anime podcasts, you can listen to Josh and Aaron talk
about Cowboy Bebop and Spirited Away.
Cardcaptor Sakura is streaming on Netflix and Crunchyroll
