This NHK document lists their upcoming shows and Card Captor Sakura Clear Card TV Anime appears on page 13 with a total of 26 episodes scheduled.

If the anime runs for 26 weeks without interruptions, the 26th episode would air in early July, summer in Japan, the perfect time for a theatrical movie release. But that is only speculation of my part.

It’s unlikely that the manga will be over by then, which makes me think that there will be at least another season.

Thank you to Sakura84-chan for the heads up!

A new, 2-minutes PV for the Card Captor Sakura Clear Card arc TV Anime adaption has been released:

Looking great!

The anime starts on January 7!

The Card Captor Sakura official website announced that the ED Theme song for the Clear Card Arc TV Anime adaptation will be performed by Saori Hayami.

The song is entitled Jewelry and it was both written and composed by Saori Hayami herself.

The 4-tracks single will be released on March 28 with two versions: CD only and CD+DVD. The jacket for the CD only version will feature a Clear Card arc anime illustration.

The dress Sakura is wearing is the one that appears on volume 3 cover (which is my favorite cover art so far). It looks great! There is a possibility that this dress will be the one featured on the OP sequence. I really hope so as I prefer this one over the pink one that was released first.

I would prefer the cards to be all facing backwards instead of having some of them showing a few characters, but it’s alright xD

Also, some more cast members were announced:

Fujitaka Kinomoto: Hideyuki Tanaka
Spinel Sun: Yumi Touma
Akizuki Nakuru/Ruby Moon: Ryouka Yuzuki
Takashi Yamazaki: Issei Miyazaki
Chiharu Mihara: Miwa Matsumoto
Naoko Yanagisawa: Motoi Eimi

Once again, all of the above cast members will be reprising their roles in the original anime. It’s really amazing that they were able to do so even to secondary characters!

Lastly, Maaya Sakamoto’s official website is announcing that the single of CLEAR (TV Anime OP theme song) will be released on January 31. It will come with an accoustic live performance of Platinum.

The Card Captor Sakura official website announced today the new art drawn by CLAMP that will be used for the upcoming new Card Captor Sakura Blu-ray BOX & DVD BOX:

This version has been remastered for 4K resolution.

Both boxes will be released on December 22. More info: http://ccsakura-official.com/anime/box.html

The illustration sure is pretty but somehow it isn’t what I expected from a box illustration. I guess I would prefer one that would wrap itself around the entire box. Still, pretty!

Update: High quality versions of the box illustrations can be found here.
