Today, after 2 weeks of absence blogging on anime, I would like to blog about an anime which I enjoyed watching since my childhood. It's non other than~~~ Cardcaptor Sakura (I know this may sounds girlish, but hey... I'm a child who loves cartoon. Can't stop me XD)
Kero and Sakura
The story begins with a girl named Sakura Kinomoto, a ten-year-old fourth grader who opens a mysterious book at the basement of her father's study room and set free the magical Clow Cards. The previous master of these cards obviously by the name of master Clow (Clow Reed to be precise) and now chosen by the Beast of the Seal (Cerberus aka Kero) from the book, Sakura has become the new master of the cards.
As a cardcaptor and a student, Sakura is trap with the responsibility to retrieve all the missing cards and maintain her grades at school. She is assisted by Kero, who appears to look like an animated plush toy throughout most of the series (his "borrowed" form), guides Sakura as she develops her Cardcaptor powers.
Not forgetting with some help from her friends Tomoyo, Li Syaoran and Li Meiling who appears
in the series as well. Tomoyo Daidoji, a childhood friend of Sakura who loves designing outfits for Sakura to wear them during cardcapting circumstances. She is seen holding a video camera most of the time capturing Sakura's battle. Li Syaoran, a transfer student from Hong Kong who came to Japan to retrieve Clow Cards as well. No doubt he was first Sakura rival... As the story goes on, we can see that gradually there's chemistry going on between Sakura and Syaoran XD Syaoran falls in love with Sakura and tries to find a way to admit his feelings to her (watch it yourself! You'll see how). Last but not least, Li Meiling, a cousin of Syaoran came to Japan as a student to visit Syaoran. Meiling was also engaged with Syaoran (as shown in series).
However...
It's not the end for Sakura after retrieving all the Clow Cards. She's now needed to use her own power (neither the Sun nor Moon but the power of a Star) to reincarnate all Clow Reed's cards to Sakura's Cards. The worst has yet to come. Now that every time Sakura uses a card, the power will no longer drain from Clow Reed's magic but from Sakura's own magic. Tired from exhaustion after transforming a card, Sakura has to learn to develop a much stronger magical power to reincarnate the cards in time before its too late!
