Notes (italian name: Pesca la tua carta Sakura); Production company: Mad House /Sogovision and NHK, 1998; Original work: CLAMP; Genres: magic girls.

Classification shoujo
Synopsis Small girl accidentally releases a whole set of magical cards in the first episode and spends the rest of the series recapturing the mischievous spirits of the cards. The cards' guardian - a little bear creature - makes Sakura into a 'Card Captor' with special powers. To complicate matters Sakura's school chum insists on providing Sakura with special costumes (a different costume for each episode) and videoing everything. Pokes some fun at magical girl anime in general.
Review Not to be confused with another series (Sakura Wars) with "Sakura" in the title. Sakura is a small girl who captures cards of a tarot-like set; the cards having magical powers. When not dealt with - the cards behave mischievously. "Wood" for instance combines with "Rain" to produce a fast-growing tree that rapidly takes over her house. Sakura has to use her magical powers to quell the cards and then captures them by writing her name on them. She's cute.
Charming series from CLAMP.
