‘Cardcaptor Sakura’ has become a classic for a reason. It’s not only about the usual magic, friendship and school romance common today, but it also involves family, deeper human relationships, and even complex gender issues. There were actually so many things that happened in the story of grade school student Sakura, but they were told in a loving and uplifting manner that anyone from every age group can relate to.
In this list, Cardcaptor Sakura is the longest with 70 episodes. But such length was needed to fully realize the characters and their relationships with one another. It’s one of the most inclusive anime during its time and it’s still relevant today.
