For over two decades, “Cardcaptor Sakura” has captured the hearts of anime enthusiasts worldwide. The excitement peaked when “Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card,” the series’ next installment, debuted as a manga and then as an anime in 2016 and 2018. Fans embraced the anime adaptation, but it left us hanging with a cliffhanger and then vanished without a trace.
Following 22 enthralling episodes, the series concluded, leaving fans in the dark about its future. Now, after a five-year wait, there’s finally a ray of hope for fans eager for closure.
Is Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Season 2 Happening?
Yes, it’s official! At the Sakura Fes on Sakura’s birthday in April, the news broke that “Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card” Season 2 was underway. Initially, fans were skeptical, given the announcement’s timing on April 1. However, Madhouse and several other production companies have since confirmed that this isn’t a prank – the new season is indeed happening. As of now, the exact release date for Season 2 remains a mystery.
The first season kicked off with a prologue in September 2017 and officially launched in January 2018. While it’s uncertain if a prelude will precede the second season, a January release, mirroring the first season, isn’t out of the question. Fans should stay tuned for any upcoming announcements, especially if a January premiere is in the cards. Once the new season airs, it’s expected to be available on Crunchyroll, similar to the first season.
The first season comprised 22 episodes, closely following the first 22 chapters of the manga, maintaining a nearly one-to-one chapter-to-episode ratio. To date, the manga has reached 76 chapters. If the adaptation continues at the same pace, we could expect at least 54 more episodes, with even more to follow as the manga progresses. However, it’s likely that some episodes will cover multiple chapters, suggesting that while Season 2 may be longer than the first, it won’t be overwhelmingly so.
In Conclusion: Anticipation Runs High
The return of “Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card” for its second season is a momentous occasion for fans worldwide. Although many details remain unknown, the confirmation of its production alone has reignited the excitement and anticipation that has long been associated with this iconic series. Stay tuned for more updates as we eagerly await the return of Sakura and her magical adventures.
