Cardcaptors is about a girl named Sakura who lives in Japan. Her mom died, they never say why, but most people think its from a disease. She lives with her dad, who's a collage professer, and her older brother, who's always annoying to her, his name is Tori. One day, Sakura thinks she hears someone in the basement, and nobody besides her is home yet. She grabs her cheerleader paton, saying if someones there, she'll call the police, to herself. She goes into the basement, but no ones there. She finds this book glowing. Her dad had brought it back from the university. No one could get it open. She touched the clasp, and it broke open. She opened it, and there were cards in there (52 to be exact) so she picks one up. It has "The windy" writen on it, along with a lady that looked odd. She read the windy out loud, and wind whiped around her, and all of the other cards went into the air, through the ceiling, and out over the city in Japan she lives in. So this little creature comes out of the book, and it looks like a stuffed animal. His name is Kerobaros, but they call him Kero. Sakura has to capture the cards, which are called Clow Cards. Sakura has to capture them, she has no choice. So after a while, another kid, name Li comes in, and he has been studying magic all his life, he's a desendent of Clow Reed, the creater of the clow cards. He is Sakura's rival. Its really awesome! Just watch a few episodes and if you don't like it you can stop.
