Sakura Plot
*Warning:
Possible Spoilers
The series begins as a simple girls' comic of the
magical girl genre. Ten-year-old fourth grader Sakura
Kinomoto opens a mysterious book in her father's study
and accidentally lets loose the magical Clow Cards.
By her ability to open the seal, Sakura is revealed
to have special powers, and it becomes her responsibility
to retrieve the missing cards.
The
task involves finding each card, battling its magical
personification, and sealing it away. She is assisted
by Cerberus (Kerberos, also known as Kero-chan), the
Beast of the Seal assigned to protect the cards, who
was asleep when Sakura opened the Clow Book (He was
on a "nap" at the time, which lasted some
30 years). Kero, who looks like an animated plush
toy throughout most of the series (his "borrowed"
form), guides Sakura as she develops her Cardcaptor
powers. In the first episode, he presents her with
the Key of the Seal, which allows her to fight and
capture the Clow Cards.
Clow
Card Arc
The first six volumes of the manga and the first and
second seasons of the anime focus on Sakura's attempts
to capture the released Clow Cards. Cerberus acts
as her guide and mentor throughout the quest, while
classmate and best friend Tomoyo Daidouji films her
exploits and makes her costumes insisting that she
must "wear special clothes for special occasions."
Sakura
also competes with Syaoran Li, the descendant of the
Clow Cards' creator, Clow Reed, in capturing the Cards.
The first half of the series ends after the Final
Judgment, in which those who have attempted to capture
the Clow Cards are tested by the mysterious Yue for
the right to become Master of the Clow.

Sakura: The Movie
Occurring between episodes 35 and 36 of the 1st and
2nd seasons, respectively, (or the middle of the 1st
season in international releases), the first movie
takes Sakura and company to Hong Kong during winter
break.
Still
in her quest to capture all the Clow Cards, Sakura
encounters new challenges, some of which take place
in ominous dreams. Sakura must defeat a vengeful sorceress
called Madoushi who was rejected by Clow Reed in the
past or risk losing her family and friends.
Sakura
Card Arc
The latter six volumes of the manga and third season
of the anime introduce several new characters, including
the enigmatic Eriol Hiiragizawa. Since Sakura has
now become the new Master of the Clow Cards, she must
transform them under her own magic into Sakura Cards.
At the same time, new strange disturbances are occurring
in Tomoeda, which adds further pressure to Sakura's
task. Meanwhile, Syaoran falls in love with Sakura
and tries to find a way to admit his feelings to her.

Sakura Movie 2: The Sealed Card
Occurring after the end of the 3rd season (2nd in
international releases), the 2nd movie brings closure
to the relationship questions between Sakura and Syaoran,
which were left somewhat unanswered in the last episode
of the TV series.
Like
the 1st movie, the 2nd movie does not follow or adapt
from any events depicted in the manga and, therefore,
closes the anime series in a different manner. Syaoran
has already admitted his feelings to Sakura, but she
has yet to answer him. Chances become good when Syaoran
visits Tomoeda from Hong Kong over the summer and
participates in a school play with Sakura during the
Nadeshiko Festival. However, Sakura has more issues
challenging her than finding the right moment to confess
to Syaoran. A strange force begins stealing the Sakura
Cards and erasing portions of Tomoeda. Sakura soon
encounters a mysterious Clow Card called The Nothing,
the antithesis of the 52 Sakura Cards with as much
negative power as all their positive powers combined.
