At the very least, trippy scenes like this that revolve around the film’s main antagonist’s ominous presence/magic are Spirited Away-tier trippy.Ĭharacter establishment of the day (THE MOVIE): Meilin’s Japanese writing still sucks despite her being a fluid speaker.Īnd another: Syaoran’s apparently so terrified of his mother that he freaks out at the thought of receiving a bad grade. Especially when watching this with a Japanese cultural mindset turned on (well, if you have one!) – some of the most notable horror stories take place in damp settings because water/humidity is often associated with spirits.Īnyways, there are parts of the animation, scenery, and atmosphere that give me vibes of particularly fantastical Studio Ghibli films. When watching this in chronological order to the series, Sakura’s prophetic dreams of the Final Judgment suddenly switching over to this rather eerie dream of her being trapped in a room surrounded by water and the presence of a woman trying to strangle her is… well, jarring. I guess some friends are just less noticeable than others. You’d think Sakura would use it a lot more considering how useful it was here.

It’s a shame, because The Arrow basically takes the best out of The Sword and The Shot cards. I’m assuming this is because, unlike the second movie (which was the conclusion of the series), viewers are not explicitly required to watch this movie to enjoy/understand post-season one storylines (again, it was released after season two) and this was done in order to show fans who saw the movie “hey, this really happened” while not confusing fans who weren’t fortunate enough to catch the film in theaters.Īt least, that’s what I think happened. However, they do have The Arrow make cameo appearances as a card whenever the whole deck is shown in the anime (it even apparently got turned into a Sakura Card off-screen). This movie is canon to the anime adaptation and The Arrow is officially part of the 52 Clow Card deck, yet they avoid using it at any point after the film’s story. Aside from this movie, Sakura never uses it. It has a pretty cute design, but unfortunately it ends up being unused for the duration of Cardcaptor Sakura as a whole. The film opens up with Sakura capturing the Arrow card, another anime-exclusive Clow Card. However, the plot of the film clearly takes place around/between episodes 35 and 36 (it’s winter vacation in Tomoeda and Meiling is still around), so for the purposes of the re-blog, I’m placing it before the second season. Gekijouban: Cardcaptor Sakura didn’t premiere in theaters until after the second season had ended and Sakura captured all the Clow Cards (the movie premiered in theaters on August 21, 1999). In the original television broadcast of Cardcaptor Sakura, the anime was put on-hold until Apfor its second season.
#IS THE CLANNAD MOVIE CANON SERIES#
When we last left off on my rewatch-blog of Cardcaptor Sakura, the first season of the series had concluded with Sakura enjoying her final moments of Christmas day.
