There are several books that I really regret I was not able to get a hold of, such as the Card Captor Sakura Nakayoshi 60th Anniversary Edition Vol. I knew I had to get it after seeing the book in person, though it is somewhat pricey, and more pricey because it's imported. There are 100 pictures supposedly handpicked by CLAMP, and while the book did not include all the pictures I liked, since there are so many out there, it included many pieces I do love. The main reason I debated on whether to buy this artbook was because it is a compilation of older, already published artwork, and I wished it included some of the newer pictures CLAMP drew. So I am looking forward for some improvement of characters and the revelation but I am also prepared to the possible outcome that the sequel might not be as good as the former.I posted over on the New Trials Facebook group on whether I should get the Cardcaptor Sakura 20th Anniversary 20th Anniversary Illustration Collection, and of course, I did give in and buy it at the bookstore on April 1, for Sakura's birthday.
#SAKURA CARD CAPTOR 2016 UPDATE#
I will update my preview after read the following chapters. I would like to expect more character exploration between the cast and since this is new beginning, introducing new characters to add some flavor might not hurt the story.

It didn’t get rid of the fact that the characters are still worth reading for.įor enjoyment, I am reading the chapters solely because of the likable cast since you won’t be reading this without finishing the former which is very solid of its own. Even it suffers from recycling the ideas and themes that already been used in the previous story. Overall I the new Card Captor Sakura have a good potential start. For the new cards, I like the idea of having glossy transparent cards and the new design introduce cards it’s interesting, especially the names. So here I give clamp applause, not most manga artist retains their hand drawn style. Considering the fact that it is almost 17 years since the completion of the manga from 1996-2000. The conclusion I would say is that there is an interference from unknown force which is the only the thing keep the story moving forward.įor the artistic drawing, I shall honestly say the art style still retain and distinguishable from the later. It’s not really a problem for me if sakura is going to hunt new cards again but the previous cards losing power and started to renewed again is something that is already done before in the prequel so it’s might be better if sakura still have the previous card working and since nothing actually happening in sakura powers and there is no logical reason behind except the fact there is new mysterious being introduced is something I won’t believe to be logical. I would like to bring out is that sakura is back hunting “new cards” again and this all her previous cards are indeed reset back to powerless card.

First of all it look good to see the characters again with their quirky jokes and their friendly interaction with one another, no complaining about that but it seems like card captor sakura goes back again into square one for the third time. Moving along to what the new storyline has to offer from chapter 1 to 4.
#SAKURA CARD CAPTOR 2016 SERIES#
I am looking forward for further development of sakura and syaoran relationship since even though we already know their feelings from each other which is no doubt strong it still evident by the fact that they are not a couple and some hint possible romantic bonds might occur in future chapters that the series might possibly bring One such thing is the maturity of some characters and the interaction of syaoran and sakuraīut they still retain the personality that made them recognizable so I will say the characters are ok.

The story started where the original manga left off and that’s the copacetic reunion of Sakura and Syaoran.įor over the course of time some changes are indeed present that made the sequel consistent towards the prequel. In these new chapters, Sakura is now attending middle school along with familiar faces from the previous. The continuation of the one most beloved magical girl franchise title "Card Captor Sakura", Took place 2 years after the events of the initial series.
