Fell behind on my binge watching in the last few days, but here we are again.
Cardcaptor Sakura (Episodes 11-20):
Episode 11 was really good. Sakura goes to Tomoyo's house, and she lives in a mansion. We see more of Tomoyo's mother, and we find that she is actually Sakura's mum's cousin! Making her and Tomoyo distant relatives! The ending was sweet with the contents of the box. The Clow Card here was Sheild, this seems like it's going to be very useful.
Episode 12, and we learn more about how Clow Cards work. They apparently choose their master depending on who did the most in capturing it. Li manages to catch a card instead of Sakura! And it's a pretty OP one at that. I saw it somewhere that Li never managed to snatch a card away from Sakura in the manga, so this must have been quite the twist for fans.
Episodes 13, 14 & 15 where pretty boring to be honest. Basically filler episodes. Sakura captures Power, Mist and Float, while Li gets Storm.
Episode 16 was brilliant. I won't lie, it was a bit creepy in places. Sakura goes to a holiday cabin with her family and Yukito, and befriends a lonely old man who lives nearby. The creepy parts are with the old man, he seems nice enough at first. Making her tea and cakes, and playing tennis. But then he shows her his granddaughters room who is now dead, and then dresses Sakura in her outfits. This is where I was creeped out. And I was wondering why Sakura's father was ok with her going to an old mans house alone. In the end everything was cleared up and I felt sorry for the old man, and Sakura uses Rain to create a rainbow (something the old man's granddaughter loved) and ends on a happy note. Oh and the old man's granddaughter turns out to be Sakura's mum! Making him Sakura's great-grandfather! And Sakura's dad knew it was him that Sakura was going to see. I wonder why Nadeshiko's family hates Sakura's dad so much. What's with all the secrecy?!
Episode 17- Sakura has an outdoor activity class with the school, and they go to the beach. They play volleyball, swim, and catch fish. The next day their activity is a test of courag and Sakura,being the scaredy cat that she is, is dreading it. During the test, people start disappearing. Sakura and Li realize that it is the work of a clow card called Erase. After working up the courage Sakura captures it and everyone comes back, but with their memories erased. The only ones who remember are Sakura and Li. I felt so bad for Sakura this episode, I hate seeing her to afraid. She was basically full on crying, I wanted to help her
Episodes 18 & 19 where alright. They where mostly filler again, but the end of episode 19 did introduce us to a new character. Someone who Li knows from Hong Kong. Sakura caught Glow and Move cards in these episodes.
Episode 20 was great. I loved how competitive Meiling is with Sakura. It seems she's jealous that Sakura and Li might be a thing. We learn that she is Li's cousin, and that apparently she's also his fiance. Sakura's brother tells us that someone has been going around town beating up martial artists, and is a girl in strange clothes. I thought it would turn out to be Meiling haha! But it was a clow card called Fight, Sakura uses power (which she captured in episode 13) and captures it. It's funny that Meiling is very similar to Li when he was first introduced, and now he's being embarrassed with her outbursts toward Sakura. It shows how close he and Sakura have gotten in such a short time. I love the dynamic between the cardcaptors. We have Sakura, Kero-chan, Tomoyo, Syaoran Li (i'm going to have to call him his actual name now, now we have another Li) and Meiling Li.
