But the producers of the follow-up are throwing the Cardcaptor faithful a bone by releasing a preview video of yet another new piece of animation titled Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card Arc Prologue: Sakura and the Two Bears.
But while the Clear Card Arc itself is a television series, Sakura and the Two Bears isn’t scheduled to air on TV.
Fans of classic magical girl series Cardcaptor Sakrua, though, still have a long wait ahead of them for the start of the anime’s Clear Card Arc, which is scheduled to begin airing next winter, 18 years after the end of the series Sakura Card Arc.
That price point is quite a bit below the 5,000 yen or so that two-episode anime DVDs are usually priced at in Japan, which suggests that Sakura and the Two Bears will probably be a brief visit with the beloved characters, but still, it’s nice to have something to tide fans over until the Clear Card Arc anime officially begins in January of 2018.
