Line 6:
One day, elementary school girl Sakura wanders into her father's basement and accidentally opens a magic book containing a deck of magical tarot-like cards, releasing the animated and self-propelled cards (each with its own magical spirit) into the wild. The book's guardian spirit, Cerberus (or Kerberos, also known as "Kero-chan"), promptly drafts her to be the "Card Captor" whose assignment is to [[Gotta Catch Em All|track down all of the missing cards]]. Each captured card gives Sakura new magical abilities... and all the while, her best friend Tomoyo is filming her beloved Sakura with her camcorder.
One of [[CLAMP]]'s most iconic manga series, '''''Cardcaptor Sakura''''' ran in famous shojo magazine ''Nakayoshi'' between 1996 and 2000. It was adapted into a 70-episode anime with two movies which [[Adaptation Expansion|added a lot of new elements in the process]]. Alongside ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', this is widely considered as close to a "canon" [[Magical Girl]] show as you can get, and is often one of ''the'' examples even the most casual anime fan will think of when magical girls are mentioned and [[Trope Codifier|its influence on all works which followed it]] is deep and pervasive. The anime was dubbed by [[Nelvana]] with much [[Bowdlerization]] in the process. However, Media Blaster took over the dubbing of the second movie to be more faithful to the original.
It has [[The Wiki Rule|its own wiki]] [https://ccsakura.fandom.com/wiki/Cardcaptor_Sakura_Wiki here].
Ac sequel, ''Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card'', centered in Sakura's further adventures in junior high school, was serialized between 2016 and 2024, with a 22-episode animated adaptation in 2018 that covered the first 24 chapters
Compare ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', which is the other "major" example most people think of vis-à-vis [[Magical Girl]]s. Contrast ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'', the most notable [[Dark Magical Girl]] series.
