The original 1998 Cardcaptor Sakura TV series was also shown through NHK’s satellite service, and along with the main vocal cast reprising their roles in the new anime, is a hopeful sign that the Clear Card Arc will recapture the magic of the much-loved classic.
Instead, it turned out to be the start of a full-fledged sequel, called the Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card Arc.
Following the release of an animated prelude last summer, the new Cardcaptor Sakura series now has an official premiere date.
Monday, January 7 is the big day when the Clear Card Arc will begin airing on public broadcaster NHK’s BS Premium satellite TV service.
