But unlike early CCS, Sakura has grown up a bit. It's a new story is unfolding that at first feels very similar to early CCS. Which is exactly what this part of Clear Card is. Clear perfectly combines the upbeat feeling of Openings 1 with the more mature feel of Platinum.This part gives me chills pretty much everytime I see it and I'm glad I finally got the opportunity to mention it. This is especially apparent in one shot where you see a magic circle which is then overlapped by the moon followed by a silhouette of Mizuki-sensei. It still has an upbeat, positive tone although you can feel that something is building in the background.

Once again, the OP is very fitting for the final stretch of the first story arc. Despite it being listed as my lowest OP from the original series, it's pretty much on the same level as OP1 for me.
#Card captor sakura opening series
Even moreso than the Nevana Cardcaptors theme song.ģ.Original Series Opening 2 (Tobira wo Akete) It's also by far the most catchy song from the franchise. It's an upbeat, lively song that gets you pumped to watch a 10 year old girl turn monsters into tarot cards with a stick. Everything about this Opening perfectly captures (heh) everything early CCS is about.He's just another lovely person in this lovely series.Ģ.Original Series Opening 1 (Catch You Catch Me)

He no longer believe that he is the only person who is worthy of the Clow Cards. However in his shot in OP 3, he has a more gentle look on his face.

In OP 1, you see him activating one of his spells while looking arrogant. He only appears for a single shot in Openings 1 and 3. There's also a very minor detail that reflects Syaoran's development. While she's still the positive Sakura we all love, she's clearly grown since the beginning of the series. It has a more mature feel to it which perfectly reflects that current state of the characters in particular, Sakura. While the first two openings are both really energetic pop songs, this one is a lot slower.

Unlike the previous top 2 entries, it isn't as filled with "darker" sub tones, its a song that establishes the general atmosphere, showing our magical girl, funny scenes, friendships and just gives you a great preview of whats to come. What are these new feelings? Where is her freedom? Will she be able to reach? Just keep Going Going going on!ģ) Jewelry: I liked the song, but the draw to me was the visuals, I just loved what they did with the ending animations, the side date Syaoran and Sakura have and Tomoyo sneaking up on them! Just beautiful.Ĥ) Catch You Catch Me: The song that introduces you to the series. The song represents perfectly the growing Sakura and her dilemas. Also, bonus points since Akiho herself sings it, the symbolism is just great!Ģ) Clear: I admit, I'm a little biased towards Clear Card, but this song is really good. Gave myself some time to compare the songs and I always come back to this one whenever I hit my playlist. 1) Rocket Beat: The change in tone, the visuals, the song itself is just incredible.
