    I really like CCS she was so adorable and the drawings were really cute! I don't remember if I saw the last episodes! I think they took out before it ended!

    (SPOILER)He is the reincarnation of Clow and since Sakura found all of the cards and become the owner the magic in the Clow cards would slowly fade away or something and so she had to recreate the cards as Sakura Cards. Hell...she even made a brand new card at the very end.

    This is all of course to the best of my recollection.

    I spent four days off of the internet to download the entire series by Torrent. I then spent the next week watching all of the episodes, and I spent the week after that rewatching more of the episodes.

    I doubt you'll be able to find the English dub, especially since in the US, they did not show all of the episodes. The first season was cut down to something close to 20 episodes. A few years later, they showed the full second season, heavily edited (they also split the final battle into two episodes, and added a filler episode, slicing apart montage and unused fottage from the last episode). I should know. I taped most of the episodes.

    Daidouji ftw, and don't any of you forget it.

    However, as for Eriol (SPOILER) he was doing it in order to ensure that Sakura would be come the master of the Cards. In the dub, more urgency was placed on transforming the cards, because if not, the Cards would rampage out of control like the beginning of the show, only all of them at once, as opposed to one at a time.

    In the original, the cards would simply turn into regular cards, which is accurate in the manga, because Sakura does need to be the strongest Magic-user as appointed by Clow Reed. Just why he wanted it is a fairly prevalent question in the Tsubasa and xxxHolic crossovers. In the manga, Eriol is portrayed as more conniving and self-interested. What is also a point is Fujitaka also being a reincarnation of Clow Reed, explaining Sakura's magic powers.


    The Sakura Arc starts episode 47.

    EDIT: Ahh, beaten to it.

    I beat you too it but you did a hell of a lot better job explain it than I could. In all honesty I lost so much interest in the second half I couldn't remember much specifics about why and hoped I BSed my way through my explanation XD

    Ah... I see I missed that little bit[that is what I get for speed reading].

    However, I never thought of Eriol as a bad guy all that much. I don't recall what made me think that though I do recall that I never thought of there being a bad guy.

    STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!

    Because Eriol's not that evil. He's just self-serving, but ultimately a puppet.

    Didn't Eriol, in the manga, also wanted

    (SPOILER)Sakura to become the most powerful magician so that she could split Clow Reed's powers between Eriol and Fujitaka more evenly since Eriol got the bulk of it. With that much power Eriol was haunted with memories of the past and also visions of the future; with the power split, he would no longer have these visions thus able to live a more normal life. At least that's what Wiki said. x-x

    (SPOILER)I thought that I could fit under that when I mentioned that Sakura needed to be the strongest Magic-user. It seems that she is the one who splits the magic evenly between the two, since Eriol can't do it himself; he needs someone stronger. This I believe, is also a set-up for Tsubasa and xxxHolic: Clow needs a back-up plan incase Fei Wang Reed gets what he wants.
