Here's Amazon's listing for it. Looks like list price is $39.95, but only available if they find a used copy for what you are willing to pay. (Using links like this one, though, are very much buyer-beware, so I would probably wait a bit longer to see if a convention dealer might have one.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recently, I had been rewatching Magic Knight Rayearth, and did notice a few similarities (though, since CLAMP created both, there had to be some):

- Tokyo Tower is once again the place where magic always seems to happen. (Are the Magic Knights living in Tomoeda? :? )
- The Sword Card looks a lot in design like Umi Ryuzaki's Water Dragon Sword (except with angel wings in place of the webbed wings)

I also wondered if the .hack designers were inspired by the visual design of CLAMP's Dream Card in desiging Helba. They could be twins.

Other than Tsubasa, can anyone think of other CLAMP-related cameos or visual ideas that are in Cardcaptor Sakura (and vice-versa)?

CLAMP is famous for self-referencing their other works. Regarding CCS specifically, I can remember:

Kero is reading a hint manual for Angelic Layer in Volume 9 of the manga

Itchan sings parts of "Catch You, Catch Me" (the first CCS opening song) in the first volume of Angelic Layer (Changed in Tokyopop's translation to something else, I don't remember what)

As you mentioned earlier, xxxHolic and Tsubasa are both full of references to earlier CLAMP works.

I know there are more references around the CLAMP multiverse, but at the moment I'm coming up blank.

I can't believe they took it off of the WB without finishing the series.

How many of you actually signed the online patition to get cardcaptors back on the WB? (or am I the only one?)

Uhhh, what are you talking about? WB showed the necessary episodes of Cardcaptors in order to finish it (in a hideous, butchered format unfortunetly).

I say save up enough money and buy the uncut boxsets and watch the complete version. :roll:

The original version story has so much more depth and character development.

Oh, that's the original one by Kodansha! It's better than the english release, i'm sure of, but i don't like how the Clow book is pink when it's supposed to be red.. (or is that because it might have been pink in the manga?)

I'm planning on going to the Anime Mid-Atlantic (which happens to start the same day i get out of school.. @_@) and one of the Vendors might have something there, so i'll look!^^

The Cardcaptors version was on Kids WB for the 1st season, but I didn't see much about the 2nd season. I think they didn't finish the 2nd season on Kids WB, but kicked it "upstairs" to Cartoon Network at some point in the initial airing.

I had wondered if any of the channels out there (particularly those with Geneon/Pioneer affiliations, like [as] or Encore) were going to try and carry the original Cardcaptor Sakura at some point. It'd be interesting to at least see The Sealed Card pop up on Encore Action some night out of the blue.
