My Anime Nation

The Metro Comic Con 2009 last week was a blast! Honestly it was my first time going to a comic con. Some of the most respected dubbers and comic and manga artist are there. I was so amazed of what we Filipinos can offer for entertainment. I just can't let go of my cam and just constantly clicking and capturing anything and anyone. Toy collections, Figurines, Artworks, Mangas, Comics and some cute clothes and accessories are just some of what I've seen all throughout the Megatrade Hall at SM Megamall.


Even the famous Pugad Baboy artist, Pol Medina, came. The E-Games representatives also introduce a new game called ZXOnline. Another game in line for MMORPG's which has really cool features and characters. Cosplay.ph has also advertise their new hair product: Cospray - an alternative for wigs. It is a hair coloring spray that aims to aid some cosplayers who cannot buy wigs because they are soooo expensive! The good (or bad) thing about it is it's washable [it means it can be removed by water]. Another good thing about it is that it has different colors to choose from and every color has it's own unique scent. Silver / Platinum and Gold are still aren't available in the meantime but cosplay.ph already said it will be available soon.

Well the next stop Cosplay Mania this September 13, 2009!

Review

Cardcaptor Sakura is one of the most successful anime work by CLAMP. I admit that I've spent almost all my free time watching the series over and over again. I first learn about this anime in a TV network here in the Philippines. It has this really awesome storyline and it got even better in season 2 and 3 because it focuses on Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun's relationship. The first season focuses on completing the Clow cards, cards which was made by a magician named Clow Reed and possesses great powers.

Plot

Kinomoto Sakura, the heroin of the story, was a ten year old fourth grader of Tomoeda Elementary School. She was just an ordinary, cheerful and athletic girl before she open a strange book and met Keroberos, the guardian of the Clow Cards. Because Sakura opened the book and let loose all of the Clow Cards, it's her duty as the chosen Cardcaptor (she was chosen by Kero) to capture all of the Clow Cards to stop all the strange events happenings cause by Clow Cards in Tomoeda City.



Because of her undeniable cuteness, her bestfriend, Daidouji Tomoyo, a fourth grader too like Sakura but a really intelligent one unlike her, often records everything about Sakura. Even in normal days and normal circumstances. In the first part of the series, after knowing Sakura's secret as a Cardcaptor, she immediately offers her costumes and special moves to complete the Super Girl (as she imagine it) Sakura would be. But their relationship doesn't ends there. There are several episodes in which shows how Tomoyo loves Sakura more than a friend. And the fact that they are cousins (because Tomoyo's mom and Sakura's mom are cousins) which was not directly said but instead has been revealed when the Kinomoto Family along with Tsukishiro Yukito have a little summer vacation out-of-town.

Syaoran is another Cardcaptor in the first season. He is one of the direct descendants of Clow Reed and he is very well trained for his mission: to capture the Clow Cards. At first, he's relationship with Sakura wasn't that tight and after he ambushed Sakura to get her Clow Card, he gained disrespect from Touya, Sakura's elder brother.
