Cardcaptor Sakura aired 28 years ago today. Did you watch it when it first aired? or were you even alive?
>>287308105I was in High School when it aired, I watched it on Cartoon Network. Not American so it wasn't that... weird version that tried to make Shaoran the main character or whatever, but it was lightly censored.Incredibly comfy show, I fucking love it
i just watched the first episode for the first time having never seen any of the materialthe animation and even the still images are extremely impressiveI couldn't believe how bad the english dub was when I switched to it as an expirimentand now I finally know what I've been joinking off to for the past 40 yearsthanks CCSi want to sniff ur feet
>>287308105I was not alive when it first aired, no.I started watching it several years ago, got to episode 20, continued a few months ago, managed to watch 4 more episodes but I don't think I'll be able to watch any more any time soonThere's just too much shit for me to do between my daytime job, seasonal anime, vidya, hobbyist math / computer science study, and of course shitposting
>>287308446You can’t spare 20 minutes a day for this cute?
>>287308499I can't even spare 0 minutes. Every day I feel like I am in the negative, forcing myself to go to sleep at a somewhat sane time even though I want to stay up and do more, piling up more and more unfinished business for tomorrow
>>287308524Did you get your job recently? I was like that for a month when I wage slaved for the first time in my life but you eventually learn to manage your limited time and chill. Anyway, CCS is perfect before bed. Wrapping up my day with a comfy, feelgood loli show.
>>287308656>Did you get your job recently? I was like that for a month when I wage slaved for the first time in my life but you eventually learn to manage your limited time and chill.I work from home only spend like 2-3 hours per day on it seriously. Trust me even if I was a NEET I still wouldn't have enough time for everything I want to do, the job is just one compounding factor.>Anyway, CCS is perfect before bed.Like I said, I am constantly in the negative. I can't plan to leave time for that, before I know it I look at the time and it's 2 AM and I have to shut down everything and go to sleep.
>>287308105I was alive back then but i wasnt into anime, that came much later
>>287308702That's a shame. Give it a go again someday. It's a really good show.
>>287308105Was alive, watched it, been mai waifu since.
It's funny how Sakura's mother initially comes off as a cool aloof beauty, but she's actually just kinda a retard
I watched the english dub on Kids WB when I was 6
>>287308105I watched it around 10 years later.I regret getting into anime so late.
>>287308105I remember seeing it on TV when I was a child. Not sure when though
>>287308878Like mother, like daughter.
>>287308105It aired while I was in primary school. The air time coincided with my school time sadly but since I liked the show so much mom would record the episodes for me in VHS. First thing I would do every day getting home was to grab the newly recorded episode to watch.
>>287308105Sakura nails
>>287308105hueeee!!!
>>287308105why the seductive pose?
>>287309856Totally not spiked tea I made for Sakura
>>287308105Watched few episodes when it aired here in 2001. The french OP is still stuck in my mind.
>>287308105Ending track is great as well
>>287308105I watched it when it first aired in my country. I was like 3 or 4 and Sakura seemed like this cool, older girl that was fighting monsters by herself and saving the town. I got attracted to her. I still like her, but she's stuck at being 10, and now that makes me a lolipedo...
I caught a few episodes when it aired in the morning in the US, which would have been in the early 00s. Only watched it in full in like 2017 or something.
>>287308105>were you even alive?I was already 10.
>>287308105Her anime is older than me...
>>287308499I miss my daily CCS watch. Covid was so comfy for marathoning anime.
>>287310551Looks cute in 2D, but this makes me realize that this outfit is kinda lewd.
>>287311692the hag's skirt is way shorter than the design
Sakura in only shirt socks shoes and diaper
Hoeeee Tomoyo-chan what are you doing in my dirty laundry basket are you playing hide-and-seek with Kero-chan?That's right desuwa I definitely wasn't sniffing your dirty panties and pleasuring myself with them desuwa. Are? Kun kun, this sticky panty smells like Syaoran-kun desuwa!Syaoran has been wearing and playing with my panties? Hoeeeeee!
>>287309224so cute

>>287308105>or were you even alive?i wish i were that youngbtw anybody know if Frieren will continue the season? i was just surprised to see it ended after just 10 episodes.maybe it's just a break and will continue in a few months? anyone know?i'd ask in the frieren thread but there isn't one.
>>287308105Anyone who wasn't born at the time CCS was released needs to leave this website asap.
>>287312149No arrow therefore you say this and are Sakura.
>>287308105used to watch it on cnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6DYsuJEUOg
>>287314497hoeee I don't wanna be Sakura she's a dumb smelly kaiju who still wears kiddy underwear and wets the bed
>>287314723hoee caramba
>>287313533>Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 3 Officially Announced for October 2027!https://x.com/animetv_jp/status/2037537836014916012>>287307925Due to labor shortages in the anime industry in recent years, the sharp depreciation of the yen has led to a surge in outsourcing prices, causing animation production costs to increase exponentially. Madhouse's resources are limited to producing only one anime series per year, and by 2027, Frieren Season 3 has already consumed all of Madhouse's resources.This means that CCS Clear Card Season 2 may be further delayed until 2028 or even 2029. It's truly pathetic to be a CCS shit fans.The root of the problem is that CCS simply doesn't make any money.
Does someone have a link to an HQ version of the raw mango? Everything online has such blurry furigana and I want to dekinai
>>287308105I watched it a couple of years ago when I was jobless and alone. It was pretty good at cheering me up.
Propaganda to make me want a daughter
chubby milf Sakura with D-Cups hoeeeee
>>287315301>>Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 3 Officially Announced for October 2027!thank you, that's crazy... it didn't even get the normal 12 or 13 eps, only 10. that took me by surprised.
>>287308105>were you even alive?sure wasnot old enough to watch cute lolis on tv thoughnot like it aired in my shithole ever
>>287308105I was not alive but it aired in my country later when I was very small, my cousin watched it and she was a big fan. We drew fanart together and I don't remember a lot from that time.
>>287317469Stupid snow elf, seducing nords like that.
>>287317469Frieren is an anime series invested in by Toho, which is very wealthy. Furthermore, Frieren's overseas copyright fees can support the ever-increasing animation production costs.However, CCS is different. CCS is an anime invested in by NHK, which is a public service broadcaster and not a commercial profit-making company. Therefore, programs invested in by NHK usually have extremely low production costs. CCS itself is not a very profitable anime, so NHK will be very cautious in investing in Clear Card Season 2.
>>287317469https://animecorner.me/the-costs-of-anime-prices-of-episodes-have-skyrocketed-demonstrates-arch-ceo-nao-hirasawa/Due to the sharp depreciation of the yen and a collective pay rise for animators, the production cost of each episode of Japanese anime has now soared to 300 million yen. According to GPT's estimates, the production cost of each episode of CCS Clear Card Season 1 is approximately 30 million yen, representing a tenfold increase in production costs. However, CCS fans are too poor to support the series, which simply cannot achieve a tenfold increase in profitability. This has resulted in CCS's revenue lagging far behind the increase in anime production costs.https://animecorner.me/the-costs-of-anime-prices-of-episodes-have-skyrocketed-demonstrates-arch-ceo-nao-hirasawa/
>>287317930how can anime production cost have skyrocketed when AI is around? is it because niggerflix and crunchylol is paying too much for the good studios, driving up prices?
>GPTNo official per-episode production budget has been publicly disclosed for Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Arc.Based on widely cited industry data from Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI):A typical 1-cour (≈12–13 episodes) TV anime has a total budget of about 300 million yen, which averages to roughly 25 million yen per episode.More broadly, TV anime production costs are often estimated in the range of 10 million to 30 million yen per episode.ConclusionThe exact per-episode cost for Clear Card Arc is not publicly available.A reasonable estimate, based on industry norms, is on the order of tens of millions of yen per episode (≈10–30 million yen), but this is not an official figure.
>>287318063Because Japan's self-developed AI animation technology is still in the research and development stage, Japanese animation studios previously used SORA 2 to create experimental animations, but SORA has now ceased operations.Therefore, the animation industry still mainly relies on animators. However, at the beginning of this year, due to the sharp depreciation of the yen, many Chinese outsourcing companies collectively revealed that Japanese animation companies were collectively defaulting on final payments. As a result, starting this year, it has become almost impossible for China to accept outsourcing work from Japanese animation studios. Japanese animation studios have had to handle all aspects of animation production themselves, leading to a rapid and explosive increase in animation production costs.
>>287308105i binge watched it as a grown ass adult man (sakura's intended audience)
>>287308105>Did you watch it when it first aired?No, but I watched the full series 5/6 years ago.I watched it in a local channel that was airing an "enhanced" version of Cardcaptor Sakura's LATAM dub (where opening/ending 2 and 3 finally got officially dubbed, but the audio of the episodes themselves were supposedly taken from fan-recordings from the internet, so some episodes sounded like ass).
In March of this year, several Japanese animation studios were exposed for collectively owing money to their Chinese outsourcing companies. It's unclear whether South Korean outsourcing companies are facing the same situation.This incident has severely damaged the reputation of Japanese animation studios, making it difficult to find overseas companies willing to provide outsourcing services for them, except in Southeast Asian countries.
>>287315301>>287317810>>287317930>>287318073>>287318216What compels you to do this? Are you a clanker?
>>287308105Watched it on fansubs as it aired.I kept thinking how good the OP must look on something other than VHS taped off air.
>>287318675I just want you CCS fans to know your true situation and stop expecting CCS Clear Card Season 2 to be produced and delivered in a short time.
>>287315301>He’s still trying to gaslight people into believing Sakura was never popular.The show literally has thousands of merch and still getting fresh merch almost weekly despite having no new content. Not to mention the countless collabs and constant oversea events. You will never win this war because you simply can’t change the fact that CCS was once a worldwide phenomenon. Mods should perma ban you for roaming outside of your containment thread and shitting up other threads.
>>287308105I watched pokemon. sakura was the "for girls" anime so I didn't watch it even though from the little I saw it was good. my pride as a boy wouldn't let me watch it in good faith.
>>287312149quality post award
>>287319401First, you need to understand the composition of CCS's animation production committee and sponsors. Unlike Precure, where Bandai is a direct sponsor and profits from Precure merchandise go directly to Bandai, CCS operates on a different model. Currently, none of the manufacturers behind any CCS merchandise are CCS's animation sponsors. What does this mean? It means that CCS's true profit model relies on copyright licensing fees.Typically, copyright fees account for no more than 10% of the revenue. This means that even if CCS can consistently earn 1 billion yen annually, the animation production committee and sponsors would only actually earn no more than 100 million yen, and even that 100 million yen would be subject to further revenue sharing.Furthermore, CCS simply doesn't have the capacity to earn 1 billion yen annually.
>>287318216>Japan's self-developed AI animation technology is still in the research and development stage>SORA has now ceased operationsthe one thing big ai companies can earn money on right now would be to let anime studios use their datacenters for animation (either making background stuff from scratch or fill in frames between keyframes).it would be very odd if anime studios needed to make "their own" ai and if big ai companies did not offer services even with SORA going away.i just don't want things like pic related ever again and i don't want to see another 3D horse in anime ever again.japs clearly can't seem to animate 3D for some reason, i guess all of them that are skilled goes into video games? if AI replaces 3D in anime i will be pleased.
>>287319681Nah.
>>287319401You can refer to Kadokawa Group's financial reports. The annual total revenue of the Re:Zero series is approximately between 1.5 billion and 2.5 billion yen. The licensing fees for the Re:Zero anime rights are close to 1 billion yen. However, the Re:Zero anime rights licensing fees come not only from overseas streaming services but also from Pachinko, a gambling company in Japan.The CCS series, on the other hand, does not have business with Pachinko, so the actual licensing fees for the CCS series should not be overestimated.
>>287319955>The CCS series, on the other hand, does not have business with PachinkoNo shit you bumbling idiot. It's a fucking kid show.
>>287319681>Furthermore, CCS simply doesn't have the capacity to earn 1 billion yen annually.All they need to do is shift into porn (uncensored, leaving Japan if need be).It's about will, not capacity.

>>287321413Well, that's a given since it's the grand finale of the old show but what is our consensus on the first film:"Sakura went to Hong kong"?
>>287321831All I can remember is that Shaoran's sisters wanted to molest Sakura.
Need.
>>287318602Why hasn't this been talked about lately.
For me, it's Tomoyo
>>287321831hong kong movie is ok, kind of boring, but looks good.
How come AI can replicate this show's art style perfectly?
>>287308105it aired on public tv in like 2000 or 2001 in my shithole and it was the very first anime i ever watched and it made me like anime in general, I was 6 or so.Always liked it but haven't actually rewatched it even once since then so maybe with my jaded taste i might find it horrible, so i'm kinda scared of watching it again
When I first watched it, it was called Cardcaptors and they re-edited it to pretend Syaoran was the main character.
>>287321763>>287320700

>>287308105I watched it on 9/11
>>287308105I bought it on DVD as it came out in the US. I still have them all. My favorite show of all time.
I was 8 years old when it came out. I didn't see it til it was on American TV, of course.
ToT
>>287308105The only anime that I can consider satanic because it's full of symbolisms from Aleister Crowley, not including showing homosexuality and pedophilia to children
>>287326701It even has this secret white supremacist hand sign.
>>287326701>>287326730Any other signs?
Sakura diaper status?
>>287326701yes very reminiscent of Crowley, like the, huh, stuffed bear thingy. that's one of his evilest satanic trademarks
>>287327628Why are there 2 Sakura?
I self insert as Tomoyo
>>287328218i self insert as sakura, at least kid me. or well, i see the same brand of innocence, airhead, happiness, and kindness in her.
>>287328368Did you like skipping around the room pretending to wear her pretty fluffy outfits while roleplaying as her
>>287328140Her evil twin, Arukas.
>>287328662That deleted scene where she stripped into her underwear and went streaking around town was hilarious. Everyone at school believed it was her.
>>287322921>with my jaded taste i might find it horribleIt's CCS. Pretty much everyone agrees that it aged like Dom Pérignon.
>>287320184They look absolutely NOTHING alike (except when mom is a kid which would mean that when Sakura gets older she would look like her mom more)
>>287328818I’ve always thought she got her emerald eyes from her mother.>when Sakura gets older she would look like her mom moreNope, she should stay a short hair queen.
>>287323922How did that even work? Chink boy doesn't even appear until like 25% of the show in.
>>287308105Turning Sakura into the mother of my kids
>>287308105It was 2001 when I first watched it. I didn't care for it all that much back then but after watching the entire thing uncircumcised 11 years later it became my favourite anime.
>>287329564>episode 8 of a 70 episode series is "a quarter of the way in"they just rearranged some episodes at the at start.
>>287329593Isn't she too young for a tongue kiss?

It's amazing

>>287320188
>>287329593I've once seen a father kissing his daughter like that. Weird stuff.
>>287330124I reckon I could beat him up.
im 22 bought the entire cardcaptor sakura popmart set due to the cunny art ive been sent ive yet to watch it in full
I was six in the first grade, and I only properly watched it back in 2019. I did watch the dub on Toonami in 2001 and thought nothing of it, though the theme song was interesting enough.Got some good reaction images from it too.
this show is only popular because of the cunny and loli fans.
>>287329593she would never racemix in a million years, if she couldn't escape she'd bite off her tongue before he even got close
>>287332846she canonically marries an immigrant who's ¾ Chinese and ¼ white
>>287330124I reckon I could kiss him
>>287333545she just didn't know, brown skin tho? not a chance.
>>287324461I know there's some anon in his 60s.
>>287333680Siulong's literally introduced to her as a Hongkongese exchange student, and he explains his family lineage to her shortly after.
>>287334084she's too dumb to understand and thought chinks and japs are the same race. there's a lot more shared over mixing with an indian that's for sure.
I don't know why I was expecting a better thread. Silly me.
Bump
MR PENGUIN NOOOOOOOOOO
>>287308105I remember reading about it in a dragon ball magazine and wanting to watch it, then a year later it started airing in cartoon network. I was like 14 at the time.
>>287308105Oh yeah. Not exactly but i watched dub in spanish and I'm still really, really, really like her. I was 12 or 13 and it was one of my earliest faps. I like her so much i didn't mind the gay stuff.
>>287337320Also it wasn't that american butchered version and the dub of the opening was pretty good.
>>287330124>make the boy cuter than the main girlWhat was their plan here?
>>287331785he's got incredible athleticism, a sword and onmyo magic, I doubt anybody unarmed could take him 1v1

>>287337315scene had me cracking up when I watched it the other day>get rotated, nerd
>>287338905should flip the Sakura image. Recoome(?)'s holding Vegeta with his right hand but in the Sakura image her right hand is free. it would also better line up the direction she's facing in the frame, better convey that she's on stage right, looking towards Vegeta.

>>287344584That's fucking awesome, Chris.
>>287320188I've never watched CCS but when I've seen any clips you anons post it always strikes me how good the color choices and contrast are compared to other contemporary anime. It was clearly in that era where the near-background had that nice watercolor faded look, but the flesh tones and colors of character clothing pop out by comparison. It visually looks great.
