According to Wikipedia, yes!

>They are also capable of moving rapidly when feeding or avoiding predators, to the extent they can vertically leap out of water.

I'm as surprised as you.

>>801663

>Excuse my autistic ranting, and I may very well be over-analyzing this or nitpicking

I think you very much are, this isn't the part to be sperging about whether you can justify suspending your disbelief over it. Think back to the original series. Remember the time it snowed only on that specific town, then all the snow melted instantly? Or the time Sakura grew several stories and wrestled a giant dragon in the park? Or the time everyone in a large radius simultaneously fell asleep, and how it happened multiple times? And I'm sure you can think of plenty of other great examples. The NPCs in these shows are cardboard cutouts, they don't do anything and they don't matter.

That said it amused me to no end that the aquarium installed a drainage system. I like to think these cardboard cutouts intuitively know about all the shit going on and are just accepting it and working around it all without thinking too hard about it.

>>801373

Pero-pero pero-pero-pero pero pero-pero

Sorry, I didn't find the original clip from Azumanga Daioh.

>>801711

Maybe they only had a budget for a manual switch? Would also explain the lack of cameras: Lack of funds.

>>801902

>187 look

That's slang for ひやし (chilling), right?

>>801844

Maybe they're so hard up for money because their tanks mysteriously burst and their exotic fish get drained into a sewer all the time?

>>801926

Just imagine how high their insurance costs are going to be after two almost identical catastrophic failures which they can't explain.

If I was running a business in Tomoeda, I'd ban Sakura from the premises just as a precautionary measure. Whenever something goes wrong she's not far away.

>>803615

Honestly, rub a dub dub would be more linguistically accurate than just awkwardly announcing DINNERTIME!

>>803617

Wrong.

>>803615

>>803617

Is there a literal translation of that particular word?

>>803848

"Itadakimasu" is basically just the polite form of the verb "itadaku", which is already humble language and has a pretty vague meaning but comes close to something like "to receive, to accept, to partake (in/of sth.)". So if you want a literal translation it might be something like "I will humbly partake (of this meal)".

>>803851

In my country is always dubbed as "thanks for the food" and stuff like that.

>>803853

>>803851

Why can't they just fucking translate it as something like "I will humbly partake" then? They already do it for things like おじゃまします as "Sorry for the intrusion".

>>805613

But I mean that's just what Japanese people say. Japanese people are different from American/British people. Why pretend they're something they're not? I think sharing bath water with the whole family is weird too but that's just what they do.

>>805615

This. Everyone knows they're watching a Japanese cartoon. It's a ritual phrase they say before eating. What bad thing happens if a person watching sees something they're not used to?

>>805610

Because it is a little too long for certain languages when you lip synch.

>>805613

Well, in my country is customary (from Catholics at least) to say "thanks to God" but that's when you are done eating, since there is the Christian equivalent of praying before eating it seems plausible.

>>805643

>Everyone knows they're watching a Japanese cartoon

You give people too much credit.

>>805764

They exist and that's what I was talking about when I mentioned the translation they use in my country.

>>801902

I've noticed he seems to dislike the little shite. As a faggot who hasn't read the manga, does anyone mind telling me what their deal is?.... besides the fact that one day the kid is gonna try to bone his little sister.

>>805944

That's basically it. He's pissed that he's going to take his little sister away from him.

>>805961

Really? heh, good shit.

>>805961

Does he know about Sakura's powers? Because he always seems to have one eyebrow raised whenever she is giving him bad excuses, like he knows she is keeping something from him.

>>805967

He knows something is going on. In the original series he recognized that Mirror Sakura wasn't the real Sakura, and he saved Yuki when Sakura's power was running low.

Both Touya and Tomoyo get a really shit deal to be honest, having to stand by and watch as Sakura is stolen from them by some brat.

>>805967

Yes, he knows that she's doing dangerous magical girl stuff. He doesn't let her know he knows but he worries.

>>805969

>>805970

Big bro seems like he deserves her more to be honest Senpais. If he is willing to look out for her feelings from the sidelines.

>>805974

Sakura's slowness is one of the best things about her. Just imagine how much fun you could have pulling pranks on her or setting her up in embarrassing situations. Not to mention all the time cuddling with her and helping her with her homework.

If Shaoran doesn't appreciate that, he really doesn't deserve her.

>>805967

In the original series Touya also had magical powers until he voluntarily gave them up so Yukito would survive. While he had his powers, he could see his mother's ghost. Now Sakura can see her because she's powerful enough since that time, and has seen her at least once.

In the new series he's getting magical powers again, but it's not yet explained.

>>807505

Random pics or intentional?

>>807512

The last one in that post was random chance.

>>807517

Interesting, I have to watch the episode though.

Do you think Sakura does that "Oheeeee!" when she masturbates?

>>807650

Sakura isn't so filthy as to do something like that without Syaoran around.

>>807782

A young girl who masturbates by herself in private is infinitely more pure than a girl who does the same sort of things together with a boy, especially if that boy isn't even related to her.

>>807612

>>807650

She absolutely went hoeee~ after the first time when she came down from it and the shock and embarrassment set in.

>>807811

Now that I can believe. If someone hasn't already written this into a doujin, they need to.

>>807818

someone check their CCS doujins and look for the hiragana or katakana indicating that in all panels.

>>807811

Since I only watched the dub back in the day (Latin American Spanish with no connection to the Nelvana stuff), it is only now on the new series that I find out she has that "verbal tic."

>>807987

>Find all hoee's in Sakura doujinshi using OCR and neural networks

If anyone's looking for a CS student project idea

>>808998

Are you serious?

I must say I'm enjoying the fuck out of this show. The art and music already speak volumes to the quality over most anime tripe nowadays. Never watched the old series but it feels nice and old school and I really like watching that to unwind.

>>809851

I hope you go on to watch the original. It's even better in just about every way and awakened a whole generation of lolicons.

>>809865

in what ways is it better?

W-where's this week's episode? WHERE'S MY SAKURA?

>[Ohys-Raws] Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card Hen - 12.5 (BSP 1280x720 x264 AAC).mp4

Fuck.

No episode this week or just late subs?

>>810005

For anyone like me who was wondering, ep 12.5 is just a clip-show recap of the first half of the Clear Card arc. That's why it didn't get any subtitles.

>>812069

I'm just happy Meiling got to continue existing despite being an anime original character.

Just got all caught up. What the heck is going on with Sakura's older brother?

Animal motif episode, Tomoyo is Baphomet!

>>814513

Ironic, since she's selfless to a fault.

Despite her lewd desires, she really is the nicest of all the characters.

>>814966

i felt the same way. It was so jarring that he was interrupted so many times in just a 6 minute span.

>>816205

She's actually a good girl, she just needed to mature a little. But thanks to Clow, she'll miss out on her one true love and grow old with a bunch of cats.

>>817015

I would commit a genocide if it let me hug Sakura like that.

I am starting to wonder, is the new girl is also a Cardcaptor.

>>817015

yeah the embarrassment level for Sakura was over 9000 on this one. But it was fun to watch!

>>818047

>Coasters

When you're rich enough to afford a new table every month, dealing with coasters just seems like such a hassle.

>>820764

Honestly I'm impressed by his restraint. He has been in proximity to Sakura a couple of times and, as far as we know, hasn't done anything remotely lewd.

It's a shame Tomoyo doesn't have access to that kind of magic.

>>820945

Suddenly I get some flashbacks to Evangelion.

I wasn't sold at the start of the series, but this is definitely the CCS I was hoping for.

>>821510

I am still enjoying it, but the secondary cast continue to be a lot more interesting and fun to watch than Sakura and Shaoran (and the new girl, for that matter). I think the main problem is that I just can't bring myself to care about Sakura and Shaoran's relationship. The cute slice-of-life elements are overshadowed a bit by the whole relationship plot.

>>820945

Yeah, the fact Sakura hasn't been found out yet is stretching the bounds of plausibility more and more.

>>821550

"Erase" apparently has the ability to erase memories. It wouldn't do her much good at the moment though, since she can't use any of the old Clow/Sakura cards.

>>805610

>why don't the translators use literal translations for everything

In addition to what >>805613 said, a child like Sakura would not literally say "I will humbly partake of this meal" because in English, that's an incredibly stilted and artificial way of expressing thanks which goes against her voice (in the literary sense) of being a carefree little girl.

You're putting Japanese on a pedestal here; the point of a translation is not to literally translate the words said by each character but to equate the ideas those words express. In doing so, the translator must consider how each character would express that idea, which includes sentence structure, grammar, stress, and (yes) even diction.

If you think I'm defending RUB-A-DUB-DUB, think of it this way:

>In French, you ask for something politely by adding "S'il vous plait" to your sentence in the appropriate place

>The literal meaning of this phrase is "If it you pleases" or "If it pleases you"

What would you translate this as if you were adapting a French comic? You'd translate it as "please" because that's how the French use the phrase, and "please" is the English way of expressing that polite request; a literal translation of "if it pleases you" would make the speaker seem insincere or imply he was speaking to someone FAR more important than him. You couldn't simply add "plait" to a French sentence translated from English because it'd sound wrong and in this case would be grammatically incorrect.

The same thing happens with that subtitle: Sakura is using the most common way in Japanese to express thanks for food. The most common way someone would say that in American English is "thanks for the food" or "let's eat!"

Sage for linguistic pedantry.

>>821817

But a child might say something like that as a ritual phrase, which it is. I really don't want to argue the TL question for the 1000th time though, you make good points.

>>823034

Her seiyuu sounds completely different.

>>823483

Watching the people sitting at the tables fall asleep it looks like they just suddenly have a compulsion to lie down and sleep, they don't instantly get knocked out.

>>823494

Two episodes ago Sonomi and her bodyguards just fell asleep in their place, quickly.

>>823494

What if someone got a compulsion to lie down and sleep while operating heavy machinery?

>>823483

Now that I remember, Sakura has set entire streets on fire.

>>823516

That's a good point. Even assuming she hasn't injured anyone, the total cost of all the damage she's caused must be more than a billion yen by now.

I don't know how people can keep claiming Sakura's a good girl.

>>823447

They do, mostly, it is surprising how they have defied that taboo lately by including characters with new voices recently.

>>823478

By now she will be going to the doctor and see if she is diagnosed with narcolepsy, wasn't there a time stop card or something in the past? it would be way more useful and healthy.

>>823663

>wasn't there a time stop card or something in the past?

Yes, but Syaoron is able to do that this time around. He's been a busy little boy.

>>823772

I was hoping the anime would explain it, but nope. It's just as confusing as the manga.

>>823858

That picture should count as evidence against Sakura being a good girl.

>>824338

That's horrible.

Sakura is for gentle, loving bullying, not physical violence. If you're drawing blood, you've gone too far.

If she really needs to be disciplined, just put her over your knee and use a hairbrush. You should never hit her cute face.

>>824338

She deserves it honestly.

>>821550

There are shitty time-related cards, a reverse card and an erase card for just that kind of bullshit.

>>818047

The backgrounds pale in comparison to the original, just like everything else seen so far. But the backgrounds stick out the most.

>>824345

Maybe she got hurt while capturing cards. It's dangerous, you know.

>>824359

In that case she really needs to be grounded for a while so she doesn't have the opportunity to get hurt.

After a trip to the hospital and lots of cuddling, of course.

>>824367

Of course. And she will need help at home afterward, such as with bathing and dressing.

>>824371

Bathing and dressing wounds is a very important part of recovery. I'm glad you're looking out for her best interests.

>>824387

You think Sakura misses important spots?

>>824390

Almost certainly. Look at how much of a rush she's in every morning, and we all know she isn't the most careful or observant girl. I very much doubt she manages to properly clean herself for school after getting filthy on late night card capturing expeditions. Not to mention her pantsu.

She needs a good friend or caring onii-san to give her a thorough wash at least once a day. I'm sure Tomoyo wouldn't mind checking to make sure she doesn't miss any important spots.

>>824475

If I did, it wouldn't be an accident.

>>826242

They've kind of written themselves into a corner with Syaoran. He is basically just a less cute and less interesting copy of Sakura. The only way for him to really participate in the story at all is to help out in fights, but when he does it makes Sakura look weak.

At least there's something interesting going on with Touya now.

>>826276

I'm catching up on the manga, and I forgot that in the manga Syaoron is shown using cards for his new powers, as opposed to the anime which is a small orb or something else. It's actually quite confusing trying to follow them both at the same time, because things are different and out of order. I think it's more interesting seeing what he's using in the manga.

>>826538

On the one hand, the magic system might feel a bit more consistent if all magic required some kind of card-like objects.

On the other hand, they'd then have to justify the existence of yet another set of magical not-Clow cards, and they've yet to justify all the ones we've seen so far.

I suppose it's probably too much to ask for the author of a magical girl manga aimed at kids to plan a detailed and self-consistent magic system in advance with room for expansion into multiple arcs. When it comes to shows with girls as cute as Sakura, my suspension of disbelief is very forgiving.

>>826242

>>826276

It might have been my imagination but apparently Syaoran used Windy, don't ask me how he got it though.

>>826560

>>826538

Shaoran is the descendant of Clow Reed himself. Wouldn't it be possible that Shaoran's magical powers take the same form as Clow's?

>>826242

I think this is one of my favorite costumes.

>>826735

>>826649

I suspect Syaoran is in possession of the Sakura Cards somehow, that's the thing that he is hidding from Sakura, the same thing Eriol/Clow is also not telling her either.

So the shota (Erio but still) x adult woman romance will make it into anime won't it?

Imagine if adult guy x loli was also adapted, which of course won't be mentioned.

>>828036

That's probably also why he's training so hard. Sakura is a lot stronger, and so were her Sakura cards.

Aren't there only like three episodes left? Are they really going to try and wrap everything up, or will we get another season?

>>829667

Let me guess, Akiho is Nadeshiko's reincarnation or something like that.

>>828422

>another season

I will be so incredibly happy if this happens. This season has been a real joy to watch.

>>829779

Would that work if Nadeshiko is still a ghost? Although I guess that didn't stop Clow Reed from being two people.

>>801363

What do you think Sakura's tight sweaty ass feels like? What do you think she smells like when she's losing her virginity to you, anons?

>>830047

That's the thing, Akiho may be the Eriol of Nadeshiko while her ghost is the "clean" reincarnation or something.

>>830869

It's also possible next episode they wrap up everything at once. They've already done the exposition dump, I don't think there's all that much left. I suspect this might be the end of the arc.

>>830881

Oh, you meant the end of the arc? Then yes, I don't think there's much more to do.

>>830886

What I'm trying to say is the only evidence we have there'll be another arc after this is that we really want it to happen.

>>830889

I assume it's selling well enough for more. There's already official translations being sold of the manga.

>>830889

The story didn't exactly wrap up to a neat conclusion, so they must be planning for another season.

If their communication is being blocked, why doesn't Eriol just fly to Japan?

>>834396

That's like $2000. What, you think he's made of money here?

It's probably that he couldn't do shit even if he went. We already saw him get beaten down once.

>>834670

I'd be surprised if a powerful mage like Eriol couldn't find a way to get to Japan faster and more cheaply than buying a plane ticket.

Even Sakura can fly, although how she'd fare on an intercontinental flight through various nations' airspace I'm not sure. With the right combination of cards she could probably survive supersonic flight...
