Atria35's Review This is absolutely one of my favorite anime of all time. Sakura is the sweetest heroine I've seen in anime, and her counterpart, Sayoran, makes a great foil. He's out for the cards for entirely different reasons, and competes with her even as he falls in love with her. Following Sakura is her protective older brother, who adores her but is more of a 'tough love' sort, her adoring cousin Tomoyo, and her crush Yuki, who has a secret that even he doesn't know about. Other, more minor characters do come in from time to time, fleshing out her background and family situation in interesting ways. This is all about her becoming the Master of the Clow Cards, and then gaining her own power in her own right. It's a fantastic show, with great lessons on friendship, forgiveness, family, working hard, and all those things you'd like your kids to do. Violence/Gore- There is some minor fighting and "life-threatening situations" (but it's a kids show, no one dies or is ever seriously in danger). Nudity/Sexual Content- There is one scene of Sakura in the bathtub, she's covered though. Theological Themes- The story centers on magic and Sakura's use of the Clow Cards. Magic is apparently hereditary, there are no pacts made with demons or anything. She does use them once to try and tell the future. There is reincarnation in the second season. Other themes- Tomoyo is Sakura's cousin, but she does have somewhat romantic feelings for her. This is not obviously apparent and is a very minor subplot in one of the episodes. Sakura's brother is in love with his best friend, and those feelings are returned. Nothing ever occurs between them, just the statement by Yuki that this is so. There is an occasional swear, mainly the d- or h-word. |
