Because it succeeded at doing every single thing it set out to do. Cute girl, comfy atmosphere, simple but well written characters, some magic shenanigans to spice it up, and a lot of puppy romance near the end.

It was basically Sailor Moon without the funny and with a lot more gay. Not impressed. The OP was great though.

I loved the costumes and card use.

But the real reason it did so well is because everyone was gay and the teacher was a lolicon.

Alright /a/, I'm watching this show for the first time and I'm fucking pissed.

Seriously, I don't know if I've ever been so mad about some waifu shit before, it's outta control. Let's do this by the numbers:

1. Cute af
2. Extremely loyal to her man
3. Constantly trying to please dude
4. Always trying to get more physical
5. Childhood friend
6. Heart of gold
7. Annoyingly confident, but only to that perfect degree which makes her exquisitely bullyable (fun onii-chan-style bullying only, of course)
8. Flawless in all ways
9. BTFO

Meilin is so fucking best it east me up inside, and yeah, i know, Sakura and whatsisname are "destined to be together," heart of the cards or whatever, but god damn he never even gave her a chance. He gets are hard-on from Sakura AND he'd rather suck megane dude's dick before he'd even give Meilin the time of day. And now in this ep, she tells him "my moms says I gotta go back to china," and he's like "well i dunno u gotta go u gotta go lol." Fuuuuccck youuuu. If this is literally the last time she's in the show I'm gonna be pissed.

The Mahou Shoujo element was secondary to the character development and interaction. All good shows put character development/interaction first.

Then you had a dozen good things on top of it:
-High animation budget
-Good storyboard development
-The setting had a strong connection to the story
-Because of the strong character focus, it can appeal to both kids and adults
-Music was good (especially the vocal songs)
-Characters had far more going on besides just being kawaii or bishie
-They planned the major points in the story out before production began, giving the show a cohesive plan and a set ending (which will soon be ruined by the sequel)
-Seiyuu were picked for how well they fit the role and not to pander to fans
-The monster of the week formula didn't overtake the main character plot and half the episodes don't have a monster of the week
-Delicate balance between fun innocence and heavy drama
-Sakura has Green Eyes and Brown Hair, the best combination in anime
-Reaction shots
-A mascot character who actually has a strong connection to the story and builds up the main characters
-One of the best endings in anime history (which again, is about to be ruined)

>>149767662
The non-plot episodes were also very good. Since it's a kids show they could have gotten away with formulastic stuff but each and everyone was a separately written. Now that I think about it, this show didn't need to be as well written as it was.

Great list, but I'd add to this constant progression.

CCS is a show you would expect to be packed with filler, but almost no episodes can really be called filler. Every episode progresses plot or character development in measurable ways, and the show doesn't just pay lip-service to character development which is rare in anime. When somebody learns something, when somebody becomes stronger, when somebody grows, when a relationship changes, it's reflected throughout the rest of the series. I mean fuck, there's an episode with a comfy as fuck three minute music video / montage of shopping in the first half and a ton of exquisite plot / character development in the second half. I feel like that perfectly sums up why CCS is good right there.

Well I knd of did point out what you're saying. But an easier way to say it is, CCS is a serial show instead of episodic. Each episode follows the last, instead of just being self contained.

This is one of the many reasons CCS stands out. You hardly see Hollywood greenlight a serialized animated show. Let alone with the subject material CCS has. Everything has to be episodic so the investors can pull out at any time.

>>149768180
>CCS is a show you would expect to be packed with filler, but almost no episodes can really be called filler.
Get the fuck outta here, the anime is just the manga story with some of the more unacceptable relationship stuff toned down and with shitloads of random clow card of the week filler that are never referenced again

meilin herself is an entire filler character who's disappearance very obviously marks that they're done wasting time because the plot kicks back into high gear literally the episode after she leaves

One of the big things that made CCS stand out is that it was set in the modern day. It literally was set in 1998-2001 Japan.

But now its 18 years later. And the sequel Manga CLAMP is writing is set a year after the original manga ended. So basically, its set in 2002. But wait, everyone is walking around with Smartphones and the fashion looks like its 2016. Whoops. So much for continuity.

All the usual places.

One of the things that made CCS great was that the plot was actually quite simple. Compare it to SM's, which could get rather convoluted at times (I liked SM, by the way, but it wasn't nearly as comfy to watch).

The fact CCS had 52 eps to get developed also helped a lot, since you could follow Sakura's journey as part of everyday life, rather than being forcefed the plot because the pacing was too fast - as in PMMM.

Moe is an idea. A vision. It is not a tangible thing. You cannot hold it in your hand or see it with your eyes. It is there in the shape of a cloud, the reflection of the water, the feel of the wind as it caresses your skin. You always seek it out, never finding its true form. But you know it exists. And it is through the searching that you come to realize what moe truly is.

>shitloads of random clow card of the week filler that are never referenced again
Even with the "new" Clow Cards in the anime, the only episode I'd really say is filler is the one with The Lock and the strawberry picking thing. In every other episode something happens that progresses either the magic story or the characters. If you would only watch the episodes containing the same cards as the manga you wouldn't understand anything and the characters would be meaningless to you.

Meilin obviously leaves because they needed to have the same few characters for the Final Judgment as they do in the manga.

Also I want to point out that if you knew your Clow magic autism shenanigans you'd notice that all cards do get callbacks thanks to the Sakura transformation thing and also that it's not like they just made up cards for no reason. They planned 52 cards to have the equivalent of a full deck and each card relates to one on a normal deck. Then the 53rd card serves as the joker and therefore is more powerful than all of them combined. It's obvious they weren't just pulling shit out of their asses with the cards, they even ran out of time to show all of them since Sakura captures a bunch of them off-screen.

I dropped it when the homoshit overtones came in.

And both still had direct character development. The lock episode shows the reason Tomoyo loves Sakura so much. And the Strawberry picking episode showed how Shaoran was starting have feelings for Sakura, as well as them working together.

A better filler episode would be the episode where they go to the indoor pool. Since it just treds over character points we already know about.

>>149774551
The Lock episode is the same as the strawberry one. The episode that shows why Tomoyo (and Sonomi) love Sakura so much is the one with The Shield (which in this instance does act like a lock though). You're right, that episode was vital. I think The Lock one wasn't that important though, you could see earlier instances of Shaoran liking Sakura. Still a good episode.

The one with the indoor pool I wouldn't call filler because Sakura does transform an important card and you see more instances of how Eriol operates.

>>149776898

Ugh, so many good episodes. The one where she meets her grandfather for the first time, the one where they get stuck in the elevator, the one where she captures the Fire Card, the Judgement day, the one where Nakuru makes a mess through the school festival because sugar addiction, etc.

Also, the drama had a flavor that you cannot find anywhere as in people weren't crying for the smallest thing in this show. It wasn't overblown, just natural.

Will the sequel live up expectations and surpass the original anime?

I kinda hope they will keep the voices with Sakura and Tomoya

Whoops, I mixed up shield and lock. Fair enough.

>The one with the indoor pool I wouldn't call filler because Sakura does transform an important card and you see more instances of how Eriol operates.
Well see, that's where I would disagree. Because the changing of cards and magic plot is mostly secondary to the character plot. In the vast majority of the show, changing a card comes after a major character story (be it a main character or a one shot character).

But in the pool episode, the character development is just things we already know. Shaoran acts shy around Sakura, Kero chan steals her drink and Sakura gets mad, Tomoyo films Sakura, etc. Basically, slice of life segments without any new character development. Which isn't necessarily bad, its still a good episode. But its also an example of filling time. This leaves the card as the only unique aspect of the episode.

If you compare it to episode 3 where she catches the Watery card, the vast majority of the episode is new character development. Sakura spending time with Yukito, Sakura's brother showing his first part time job, Tomoyo showing she will go to great lengths to film Sakura, Kero chan showing his playful side, etc. And even the catching of Watery was triggered by Yukito.

Anyway, blah blah. Let's just agree that CCS does an amazing job keeping filler to a minimum. And is still great even with filler.

The only fault in the first movie was Sakura's terrible outfit. What the fuck? Her outfits are usually great.

>>149777969

Has a sequel to a show or movie on the popularity level of CCS ever lived up to the expectations? About the only one I can think of is The Disappearance of Haruhi. And a lot of that might have just been how relieved people were about getting something besides Endless Eight.

Sadly, there are astronomically low odds that the sequel could be as good as the original show, just factoring the normal circumstances of a different production crew, the age gap of the original viewers and the expectations of the established fans. Then you throw CLAMP into the mix and you are looking at a disaster in the making.

The only way I could even begin to see a sequel working out is if they got every single person from the original show to come back and work on it, while also changing the story from what CLAMP writes.

The producer of the original CCS show (Madhouse) said about 5 years ago he'd like to see a new CCS project. Then, out of nowhere, CLAMP released a sequel manga. And a new anime got announced.

Sakura is turned into a shitty Belldandy clone. And many other past CLAMP characters return, with different personality changes. They explain this away by saying every character is an 'alternate' version. But in reality, it just comes off as a cheap way to milk the fanbase.

In other words, its shallow and insulting to the fans.

>>149780113
Yeah, I still don't really understand this. I think the intent was just to have a little more light-hearted tension between him and Sakura, and based on what I'm hearing it sounds like he didn't have much of a character in the manga.

>>149780113
The explanation made sense though and probably could've been figured out before hand because the exact same happened to sakura with the other teacher whose name I can't be bothered to remember right now.

cute protagonists, fetish outfits, slice of life, monster collecting, likable characters. At least until the Sakura Card Arc, when it went from slice of life to mahou-romance and they brought Eriol into it, literally the most detestable faggot in existence who serves solely to ruin the lives of Sakura and her friends while making no effort to hide the fact that it him doing it, while at the same time never getting called out for his bullshit. I also hated how all the characters she's been keeping her magic a secret from suddenly became involved having been retconned to be magic all along. When I watch the series, she catches the last card, Kero gets his beast form back, everybody celebrates and the series ends. Fuck the Sakura Card arc.

>>149780236
Oh, yeah. He didn't. He was just there as a complement to Sakura, and CLAMP didn't know how to expand his character, so I guess they decided to give him moon homolust.

The anime fucked up the manga's plot: badly. And I don't just mean in the ending but also basically taking out the biggest plot-twist that explains why Sakura was even chosen as the master of the Clow in the first place and how the Clow Book even got into her dad's library.

This series needs a reboot ala Sailor Moon Crystal badly, hopefully the new anime announcement includes a reboot of at least the second season which is where the plot got fucked up.

I wouldnt say that either. It provided a little more dynamic between the Lee and the rest of the cast, it was used for world building, and probably most of all it reminded us the Lee is still very young and adolescent despite how level headed his is in difficult situations. It also accents his behavior toward sakura at the end of the series quite well. Its like saying Meiling was pointless or the relationship between the teacher and the student. In relation to the main plot, theyre fairly insignificant. But to the characters themselves these relations are important for establishing dynamic and relateable characters. And this is one of the biggest, if not the biggest appeals of CCS

What are the differences in the anime plot and manga plot?

This nigger right there knows what's up.

>>149782755
Manga plot it's revealed that Sakura is essentially Clow Reed's daughter (Fujitaka is one of his reincarnations) and that's why she was chosen to be the next Clow Master and why she and Toya even have magical powers in the first place.

Anime they basically cut this all out and and it's never revealed exactly why Sakura in particular was chosen or what her connection to Clow Reed really is.

>>149782853
I see, anything else like someone said earlier? Like how by season two the plots are different?

>>149782946
Arc 2 of the manga is when this big reveal happens so that's why season 2 of the anime is when the CCS anime and manga start to diverge. Season 1 is pretty much the same in both anime and and manga with the anime just inventing more cards and Meilin to flesh things out.

>>149782946
The plot is the same, it's just that twist that's left out in the anime. Aside from some Meilin filler the anime also switches around some parts, though I actually prefer the anime's version. The anime's ending is also a bit more ambiguous, because it leads into the sequel movie, whereas the manga ended pretty soundly.

The Sakura Cards arc was wonderful! ...In the manga.

The anime ruined it by basically erasing the whole damn point of the series!

>>149784129
The only thing omitted from the anime was Sakura's dad being half of Clow.

That's far from being the point of the series. There are tons of explanations about why he'd have the book without being Clow (Mizuki or Yukito leaving the book there, him just getting it "by fate" etc) and him being half of Clow doesn't actually explain why he had the book in the manga either since he had no magic powers.

It's pretty clear from the episode where Sakura travels to meet Clow that Clow knew she'd be the new master and that Clow arranged everything for her, an expansion that's far better than the manga's infodump.

>>149780932
Everyone calls Eriol out in the last episode and Touya has been shown to have magic since the Illusion card episode (episode 5?). Not to mention Eriol goes out of his way not to harm Sakura (ski episode), apologizes to her in his inner thoughts (temple festival episode) and even does things to help Shaoran and Sakura getting it on (elevator episode). Also without Touya having magic powers most of his actions are meaningless (why does he keep getting part time jobs near Sakura, why does he always state at Kero, how does his interactions with mirror even begin to make sense...)

Wtf are you on about.

>>149785277
Sakura being Clow Reedms daughter makes the series more meaningful though and you get to see the whole story coming full circle. The manga essentially is about a lonely magician who has too much power that he knows what do to with, but ultimately no human interaction so he splits his soul up into two forms: One retaining the memories and magical powers and the other the normal man who could have a chance at the family he's always wanted. He then passes everything into his daughter who he sees as a sparkling new hope cause unlike him she grew up happy and normal whilst learning about the power of human bonds, Sakura represents the life he always wanted but could never have: Which also incidentally turns out to make her far more powerful in magic than even Clow Reed himself! It's basically the story of a guy living voraciously through his daughter, and it's absolutely brilliant!

It also explains why the series seems to focus so much on Sakura's family background, it's because they represent the changes Clow Reed has managed to make in his new life unencumbered by that magical power.

By getting rid of this incredibly important plot point in the anime it makes all the episodes we have learning about Sakura's family like her great-grandfather, Sonomi and Nadeshiko and Fujitaka's relationship meaningless! Also it created plot-holes such as why Fujitaka didn't have any sort of family and how Toya manages to have magical powers too.

>>149785579
But in the anime Clow is also expanded in a way that sort of contradicts what you assume of him. He clearly says he has and wants to die, his speech about him being able to feel nature's anguish and how tired he is of having to feel things due to his magic makes it clear that Clow is a loving man who needs to rest forever. Maybe he didn't have a normal childhood but it's obvious that Clow has a huge, kind heart and that he needs to rest.

Eriol explains that he's not Clow and merely possesses his memories, too. So Clow is dead and gone and I think owning that is better than him living "voraciously" (lol) through Sakura.

The "plot holes" you mention are more like "details not thoroughly explained" and still exist in the manga. Fujitaka has no magic, so why do Touya and Sakura inherit it if it's genetic? Maybe they just do, and that works just as well. Fujitaka has no magic, so was he born with The Clow or what? Maybe he just bought our found it out of "chance", maybe any of the moon magic people his son dated dropped it at his place. And why does Clow have to live so vicariously through his future daughter when CLEARLY he already has children, since Shaoran is his descendant?

If anything, Fujitaka being Clow just raises further questions that are easily explainable by the same central logic as the anime: Sakura is pure hearted, her magic is the strongest ever because of this, and Clow knew only she could take care of his magic after he died. And this makes more sense in the anime because it's only in the anime that Clow states that his beings exist because of his heart. And this further explains why the disaster of the cards has to do with love and such.

Why would Fujitaka being Clow make anything regarding Sakura's maternal family any more relevant? It IS relevant already because the series is first and foremost about Sakura. How she, and people around her, deal with her mother's death is already important and has nothing to do at all with Clow.

>>149785892
I know how the anime tried to explain Clow Reed's motives, I just like the manga version better, it makes more sense, ties everything together nicer and IS the true canon one since it's what CLAMP wrote, the anime's version of the plot messed with CLAMP's vision of what the series was supposed to be about and convey.

>Was Fujitaka born with the Clow?

I imagine his so-called "birth" was pretty much the same as Yukito's. With him being already fully grown as a man with his own house (that had the Clow book) but with false memories.

>Clow Reed already had a descendant; Syaoran.

Correct me if I'm wrong, it's been awhile but as far as I know wasn't it stated that Syaoran is simply a distant relative like a cousin or something from Clow's Chinese another's side? Like, he's not an actual direct descendant.

>Why would making Clow Sakura's father make showing Sakura's maternal family more relevant.

Cause like I said it ties better into the overall theme about the power of human bonds and relationships that CLAMP was trying to convey through the series.

>>149770164
You shouldn't be reading translations in the first place. Tertiary scum can get the fuck off /a/.

>>149786107
CLAMP wrote the anime, so you could argue that it's an extended, true vision. And honestly as a whole it works a hell of a lot better, the manga was way too cramped. Clearly CLAMP put a lot of thought into how the anime's story would go as well.

Plus the anime has the advantage of not having any ties with Tsubasa.

You're imagining a lot of things regarding Clow's childhood, life and even how his reincarnation would show up. Do you imagine Eriol being born that way too? It doesn't make much sense to me at least. But it doesn't contradict things in the way you imagining Clow having a hard hard and needing to live through Sakura to be happy is, since the only media that shows Clow and talks about his feelings is the anime and that contradicts your assumptions.

I guess it boils down to preferring having Clow wanting to be a dad, never really dying, and splitting himself into two OR preferring Clow to be a kind, loving man who understands that he needs to die and therefore lovingly arranges things so his magical creations will be able to be happy without him.

The first option, in my opinion, is a bit childish in the sense that it denies death and needlessly complicates things. Fujitaka being Clow ties things only for Clow's character, and only midway through (Fujitaka gets to live a normal life, though you seem to assume it's a fake one, while Eriol's is probably exactly the same life Clow lead... Minus his parents probably). The second option meanwhile is simple, elegant and mature in that it sees death as a need rather than something to be cheated with magic.

Either way, neither option is the point of the series by far.

Not exactly. Like with Angelic Layer, half a dozen different writers worked on the anime version of CCS and CLAMP 'oversaw' their ideas. There's a difference from being a writer and an overseeing producer.

If CLAMP alone wrote CCS, it wouldn't have turned out as well. Neither would have Angelic Layer, which was 1000x better than their original manga. Which CLAMP themselves admit was 'just a fun side project between CCS and Chobits'.

Sakura in general just makes me feel good, it's so warm and inviting that you ant help but get sucked in by the atmosphere and characters. Hell, even the Nelvana dub gives me a blast from the past because I grew up watching it and had dreams about it for a couple years.

Yes.

The only reason why Cardcaptor Sakura is good was because it was animated on cels.

>>149821976
It was a very fun and light hearted (most of the time) adventure series with likable characters and interesting worlds. Then CLAMP decided to fuck it all up with their clones and shit.

I like the song for Daijoubu the best. But I like the first OP best as an opening. OP 1 feels like a good music video while OP 2 and 3 just feel like a collage of images.

Good childhood memories, though I didn't see the ending until years later, when I binged the whole series... A bit disappointed to say the least......

because it gives the impression that there were lose ends.

that's because people tough that the series is in essence a magical girl story with slice of life elements on 2nd plane, when in reality it was the opposite.

>that's because people tough that the series is in essence a magical girl story with slice of life elements on 2nd plane, when in reality it was the opposite.

Finally someone gets it.

But even then, both the main plot and the sub plot were concluded. People just wanted the story to go on, which is understandable given it was such a good show. But really the next step would be seeing Sakura go through school while creating her own magic. Which is what CLAMP is doing now. And I think its going to be a major disappointment for the fans.

If anything, it would have been more interesting to see how Sakura would be as an adult, trying to balance having a family with various magical threats.

>>149834726
That's the one thing that the manga did better than the anime: the story never diverges from the central plot and ties every single loose end, leaving an entire volume for the characters to develop and conclude their own arcs., thus making the end increadible satisfying.

>>149835355
>>149834726
The heart of the story was NOT the magical girl story (even tough it kinda look like that due to the format it was done), but it was the SoL stuff that was the true heart, the true story, the rest should not matter.

But nope, now they are destroying teh series by continuing the story, and no matter what, it's gonna lead to Tsubasa, they might as well just take this direction >>149828194

>>149834726
I still don't get what the loose end is. Is it because we never got to see Sakura and Shaoran together for real? I mean, strictly speaking the anime does end with a loose end regarding the new nameless card, which the movie solves.

I thought the movie wrapped everything up. Am I missing something?

I am not gonna pretend the story handled it perfect, there was some sloppy writing on how the "antagonists" were portrayed, like Yue, and even Mizuki, or Eriol.

Yes. That was the point I was trying to get across. Though you can't really say the magical sub plot is completely pointless and doesn't matter.

>>149837264

>If eriol is a good guy, why he looks so fishy or sneaky?
To be fair, a major plot point is about how CLow Reed himself was a twisted, smug bastard who always walked around with a smile to mock people. Eriol being a reincernation of Clow Reed can explain why he looks and acts like that.

But it still doesn't explain why he keeps risking Sakura's life as a 'test'. Since that would imply he's doing it to help her and not just to be a smug bastard.

>>149837264
I dunno, maybe I saw the story from what it was even as a kid, but I thought Sakura set itself apart from most animes by having a clearly planned out story from the start. I guess it COULD have talked more about magic, but it was unnecessary for the show itself and did so enough to understand the basics (western and eastern, sun and moon, how to Clow Cards especifically depend on the heart of its master, and so on).

I think Sakura also set itself apart by having no real bad guys. It has antagonists, but everyone is doing what they think it's for the best. Even The Nothing wasn't evil, just lonely.

The final episode of the anime very clearly deals with why Eriol and Mizuki were so shifty. They apologize for not telling Sakura what was going on earlier and explain why they acted how they did. Eriol likes to fuck around with people but it's obvious he means no harm, several earlier episodes show him helping Sakura or stopping his shenanigans before they harm her. Mizuki being in cahoots with Eriol explains why she had that bell. It's all tied up.

I don't even know why anyone would need anything else on Yue since the third season dealt with how he adjusted to a life without Clow wonderfully. And Clow himself is a lot more fleshed out than in the manga.

I dunno, if you've been watching 70 episodes of this show why would you ever expect great fantasy battles and in depth focus on magic? It's clearly not the focus at all. Even the magic it does dealt with has to do with the characters' hearts rather than shonen-tier powerlevels.

It's just unrealistic to expect anything more than what we got.

>>149840505
>But it still doesn't explain why he keeps risking Sakura's life as a 'test'.
Seldom does he risk her life and when it goes too far he stops and comes to her and.

He's just fishy because they need us to not know what to make of him.

>>149780067

>>149840732

There's a couple instances where Sakura could have been killed. Not to mention the 'test' by Yue and the blank Clow Card.

>>149841579

CARD CAPTORS OF THE CLOW EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED NOW

>>149843102
No

>>149834543
All the cards are kill

>>149841701
There are several instances where Sakura could have died. She could have fell off the Fly on ep1, she fell to her death twice because of the Illusion, the Sword, the Arrow and the Shot definitely could have killed her if she didn't act fast, same for the Fire, the Earthy and the Watery... catching many of the cards could have killed her and others.

Eriol's "incidents" were also dangerous to her and she COULD have been killed in a few of them had she not acted fast or had the guardians. But the only time she definitely WOULD have died in a snow avalanche, Eriol stopped everything, commended her efforts and lovingly took care of her until they went back to safety. In the indoor pool episode, people could have drowned and Ruby Moon actually questions Eriol's willingness to stop his magic so that people wouldn't be hurt. Later in that episode, Eriol goes out of his way to find out of Rika was too traumatized and is happy to find out she isn't.

Coupled with the fact that Eriol needed Sakura to 100% feel that she HAD to change the cards so that she wouldn't lose control over them (like what happened with the Dash), it's clear that he designed dangerous ordeals but never wanted to hurt her and always went out of his way to avoid doing so.

By the way, You would have killed Sakura if it wasn't for Eriol sending Mizuki and the Moon Bell, so even then Eriol was saving her ass. I assume the "blank" Clow Card is the Nothing, and even then Eriol calls Sakura and tells her all he knows about it.

He never means any harm and much like Clow is mischevious at worst.

I'm not disagreeing that Eriol saved her. I'm just saying there are a couple times when he didn't step in and Sakura could have died. But the story passes this off as Eriol just 'knowing she could do it'.

Also, both the test and the blank card were devised by Clow Reed and no one was there to stop it. Eriol even worried about Sakura not being able to stop it and called her from England to warn her. So at least in these instances, Eriol (or any one else) wasn't there to protect her. But again, you can chalk that up to the story saying Clow Reed knew the future and set about events that he knew she could overcome, blah blah...

My only complaint is the final part, since Sakura didn't split Eriol's power in two, giving part of his power to Fujitaka, allowing him to meet Nadeshiko again by the end (this was one of the nicest scenes in the manga).

I also liked the ending between Sakura and Syaoran better in the manga. The movie was nice and all, but the manga ending with Sakura trying to catch up with the bus, her giving him a bear and then meeting again 2 years later was perfect.
