Just a quick reminder (and new cover art showcase) for Australian fans of the Cardcaptor Sakura series, the Madman Entertainments upcoming release of Cardcaptor Sakura Part 1 is slated for release on the 5th September 2012 for $59.95. From memory, the series is currently not available in any English-speaking market and features the entire Japanese anime series without the edits made in the previously released English dub in the early 2000’s. Part 1 will feature the first 35 episodes in Japanese dub-English subtitled form with Part 2 to be released in the near future.
This series features story and character designs produced by CLAMP and animation by the studio Madhouse. While Madman initially did three volume releases of the English dub (Totaling 12 episodes), this release will be the first time the company has released the full series… and in all its glory! It is sure to be a release both younger and older anime fans will be able to enjoy together…. the younger for its all-age friendly storylines… and the older for nostalgia and factors which has made this a high demand series in the first place.
The classic anime finally released uncut!
Curiosity is part of any 10-year old’s life, but Sakura just broke the seal on a magical book and released all of the mischievous spirits imprisoned on the cards inside! Kero, the “Guardian of the Clow Cards” is horrified to find all of the cards gone and tells Sakura she must become the “Cardcaptor” and retrieve the spirits before they work their mischief in the world.
