Professor Leyendecker

OMG I never would have guessed. Now THAT’S the career trajectory of a legend. 

Ok apparently I misjudged Cardcaptors. To be honest, I've only seen one episode of the CCS dub, though I've seen the entire series, movies and all, in Japanese. I got the impression, from general knowledge, that the plot was basically the same as the original. I figured they toned down things like Touya and Yukito's relationship, Tomoyo's seemingly-more-than-friends feelings for Sakura, and that one classmate of Sakura's that is in love with a teacher. But that IS sort of lame that they downplayed Sakura in favor of Li. No, more than lame actually. Yes, Li is a major character, and a decent rival to Sakura (he actually captures some of the Clow Cards himself, and he even gets to battle Yue I think, though he fails). But Sakura is the TITLE character for goodness sake. It's kinda a slap in the face. CLAMP has a lot of strong female characters in their series, even the ones where the protagonists are men. Characters like Sakura, Yuuko, Chi, Hikaru, Umi, Fuu, Misaki, etc. They themselves are a group of four women who write and draw manga. Sakura in particular ends up becoming essentially the most powerful magician in the world, and she's like 12 by the time the series is over. Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle even suggests that at some point, Sakura will be able to use the Cards without her Star Key, and Eriol at the end of the CCS manga specifically has her do a spell to split his magic cause he doesn't want to be the most powerful magician any more, and knows that she can do it. So it's unfortunate that she would be downplayed. I see them promoting the show as some action-adventure show with mystical aspects (the theme song definitely suggests this), kinda like Yu-gi-oh, especially since upping the amount of Clow Cards to 52 makes the show more of a "monster of the week" type show. (In the manga, there are only 19 Clow Cards, and Sakura has captured three of them - Windy, Fly, and Jump - by the time the story starts). But Sakura should've still been the star.

he's just such a lil guy 💙
