Syaoran Li ; Card Captor Sakura ☆ Good Smile Company

[beedok]

Things I would want from a Ranma reboot:

a) Ranma, when pressed on the curse at school, answers ‘I’m, uh, transgender’ and does not elaborate or explain in which direction (in part because they have no idea how any of that works). The rest of the school are divided as to which way.

b) Recognition that Shan Pu and the others would likely not be Han, and embracing a Tibetan/Mosuo inspiration for them. (Like how Clear Card realised Xiaolang and Meiling should speak Cantonese, not Mandarin like in the 90s Card Captor series.)

c) Let Ukyo be more gender.

d) Animate Konatsu, Akari, and Herb.

d) The girls being allowed to fight the guys on an equal footing more. (Like, come on, Ukyo was a better fighter when she first showed up than Ryoga was, because ‘starting skill level’ Ryoga was basically a toy to ‘post-training with Cologne’ Ranma. Ukyo put up a better fight without Cologne training.)

The end. That's it.

Cardcaptor Sakura is an absolute masterpiece.

Sakura is amazing, Syaoran is amazing (Xiaolang? Shaoran? Im sure its Xiaolang), Tomoyo is amazing, Touya is amazing, Yukito, Yue, Kero, Meiling.

I've never felt this level of attachment to characters in my life. I feel like they're my friends, like we were truly fighting together against all odds. And the fact that there's no villain?

There's no one in CCS that is actually EVIL, that is actively trying to hurt and rejoice over that idea. Everything was just a big test. A complex and a bit mean spirited sometimes, but Eriol did not want to hurt anyone ever, he just needed Sakura to have all Clow cards converted into Sakura cards.

And the amount of work put into the relationships between Syaoran and Sakura, and Touya and Yukito. Its amazing, its sad and its beautiful.

Im gonna watch the movies and then CLEAR CARD lets gooo

Someone: “Hey! How you doing today?”

Me: “I’M NOT OBSESSED WITH THE CARDCAPTOR SAKURA GACHA, I SWEAR!!!!”

Also me:

Long story short: I love this game despite how basic it is.

Like, it’s very Sakura. Very slice of life anime coded. We are going through the original story as if it was animated with the upgraded Clear Card design. It’s not like other gacha games either. At least, with the handful of gachas I’ve played, where battling was a big part of the gameplay, this one does not really put a big focus on it. You have little things to do here and there, but that’s about it.

I feel like it’s keeping the essence of the story by making it more about plot and “collecting” rather than action packed full magical girl fantasy. Which I like, for a change!

It’s a game I would play because I adore Cardcaptor Sakura and not because I want POWER and kick ass.

I did spend a little bit of money, though. I had exactly 99 cents left on my apple account and used it to get that beautiful Xiaolang attack card cuz it’s beautiful.

Clear Card arc is finally done woohooo.....

🌸 SPOILERS BEWARE 🌸

I dont like being negative about this, I really did try to love it. But sitting through 80 chapters over several years just for an ending like that almost feels like an insult.

At least we got more Sakura, Xiaolang, and the og cast because not much else was going for it.

Rambles below I guess

It just felt so aimless all the time, and it was driving me insane. Outside of Sakura and Xiaolang's romantic relationship, there was no growth whatsoever. No one really matured further or learned a lesson or developed their character.

Admittedly I never cared for Akiho from the jump because she felt like she was just a Sakura clone with no personality; and while that ended up being the point due to plot it actually made me dislike her even more. She was literally just a plot device at all times, but the manga acts like you should be endeared to her somehow. Her crush on Kaito also made me more annoyed than anything but thats to me personally.

Kaito annoyed me at the beginning, but as more of his actions were revealed, I started finding him really interesting. But his plan was kinda disappointing ngl, where is the drama??? I literally felt no urgency about the situation because he was so soft that there wasn't even a 1% doubt in my mind anyone would end up hurt. In the end he wasnt even really a final villain.

Just a failed opportunity to make an actual villain. Which now that i think about it is something cardcaptor does very often, and yet Kaito is still the least interesting of the bunch. How is Eriol the child more menacing of a rival character than a mage that masters time magic.

Also, why make Sakura create all those clear cards just to get rid of them at the end. I understand that most of them were redundant, but like it feels like a waste. I actually enjoyed how she used the weirdly specific cards to her advantage. So to just delete most of them sucks. She pretty much keeps Flight and the ones with matches from the Clow cards fused.

And I can't believe i sat through all of that just to toss in some Tsubasa stuff in the end. I like Tsubasa. In super small quantities. But I actually dont want it to bleed into Cardcaptor. that's what XXXHolic is for cmon. Fai's symbol in the magic books, Sakura mentioning passing the clow staff on one day, Syaoran learning to master time magic.... It's too much. Because the whole heritage thing in Tsubasa is easily my least favorite part. It's so unnecessarily convoluted for no reason. I was about to start my Tsubasa rant, let me stop.

It just felt like nothing had happened. 80 chapters of just weirdly convoluted plot with no expense or dire situations. Like idk how to explain how i feel.

But if I read 80 chapters and the only emotions I feel are Confusion and Cuteness (over Sakura and Syaoran); then it's actually really sad. What happened to drama and suspense. Or literally anything about the Hero's journey. Does CLAMP need to go back to english class/creative lit???

I've read a lot of CLAMP works okay. I would even say I'm a fan. But this is probably one of the most boring work they've made. It's not the worst, but honestly, close.

Now, this might just be my childhood rose colored glasses for the og. Or the fact I'm much more familiar with the anime than the manga, which I only read once. I know the anime made many changes, so for all I know, the og manga could've been the same in writing. But I really hope that should the anime return, it cleans up whatever that mess was because I felt like I was slowly going insane during Clear Card arc.

I love when fictional romances make you feel like love could actually exist. Completely unrelated, here is Syaoran Li.

To all those who continue to argue that Syaoran’s crush on Yukito was due to the moon magic and therefore doesn’t make him queer...

May I present to you...

…manga Syaoran’s very heterosexual reaction to being touched by a boy who doesn’t have moon magic.

Just thought you might be interested😉
