Cardcaptor Sakura Card Summonings Set #1 (E01-E09)

☆ Synced! Open post separately to see them play at the same time. 

☆ Specific episode noted on each gif

This image set beautifully illustrates one of my favourite little things about the Cardcaptor Sakura anime. Most magical girl shows get a lot of mileage out of stock transformation and summoning sequences, and if you examine any given episode in isolation, Cardcaptor Sakura looks like it goes the same route.

It doesn’t, though.

Because the protagonist wears a completely different outfit in every single episode, they couldn’t use any stock footage for transformation and summoning sequences – they had to re-animate them every time. They just deliberately framed them to look like stock footage. Certainly, standardised templates were used, but there’s no direct recycling of cels even when they totally could have gotten away with it. Look at the leftmost GIF in each of the first two rows, for example; she’s wearing identical white gloves in both, but the shadows on her hand fall differently in the second one.

I love the movie credits sequences that show the characters just travelling or relaxing or doing mundane things. They give the sense that even when nothing relevant to our interest is happening and we’re not looking, their adventure continues on.

For a while now, I’ve wanted to do something to show off how diverse school uniforms can get in animes. For the sake of the project, I tried to pull from shows from various eras, genres (though it hardly reaches outside of “slice of life” if a school uniform is involved), and well-known as well as a few more obscure ones. I had a lot of fun working on this and I hope everyone enjoys it!

I really miss Ikuko Itoh. I’m so disappointed she’s not on the staff of Crystal. She really tightened up the senshi designs and made them lovely, all of her promo stuff is knockout, and let’s not even start talking about Princess Tutu or I’ll start crying again over the whole thing

Every time this post comes around, I have to explain this. 

Watch Dennou Coil, the most underrated anime pretty much ever. 

  • Yes, this is the standard of animation throughout the series. 
  • AND THIS IS A FILLER EPISODE. 
  • It’s basically about kids with what’s essentially Google Glass: The Game. The whole world is affected by this game. Traffic lights, school, anything. 
  • It’s good in the beginning and gets really, really good by the end. 
  • Shows the vulnerabilities of children.
  • Well-written children in general. They fall under some tropes but they don’t suffer from the usual fallacies of writing children into series. 
  • And yeah, the filler episodes are really good. The whole series is worth watching. 

Reblogging as a reminder to myself

 wish this show was longer.

Seems interesting!
