Cardcaptor Sakura: Clow Book DVDs

"If the Seal is Broken, Disaster Will Befall This World"

One of the most popular magical girl anime series around, Cardcaptor Sakura brings a smile to people's faces.

The Cardcaptor Sakura anime has 70 episodes and 2 movies. That really isn't long, if you consider other magical girl anime series such as the other most popular, Sailor Moon, which runs 200 episodes and 3 movies! The Clow Book boxset only contains 35 episodes, which is divided into 9 DVD discs (3-4 episodes each).

The Story:
Sakura Kinomoto, just an innocent little 4th grader, liked P.E. and hated math. Her father was an archaeology professor at the local university and she had an older brother in high school. Her mother? She died when Sakura was 3 years old. Not much is ever said how her mother died, but all that is knows is her mother was a fragile, beautiful character who shows up here and there as an angel. Nothing is ever morbid about this story. Everything is seen in a cheery light.

One day Sakura pokes through her father's library and finds a book of magical cards -- otherwise knows as the powerful Clow Cards. They escape from the book, and a cute, round, yellow character, Keroberos rises out of the book and makes Sakura a cardcaptor. She has to get all the cards back before chaos rules the world!
