Cardcaptor Sakura

[GloryQuestor]

I know someone who got a similar set, but she got a Japanese set and there were Sakura cards in it! It had the Sealed and Heart card in it too. I wonder how much she paid for it..

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.

[lilgumba]

ruby moon as well as yue are its. they are neither male or female but it's. they just go by male for yue or female for ruby.

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.

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

[greenrider85]

I completely agree! Watch the original! Watch the original!! ( the original Japanese released DVDs have pretty covers.. *_* )
