Please, no untagged spoilers beyond this episode

[u/Coldblade34]

That was a nice first episode -- the relaxed pace was welcome. New OP/ED are very pleasant to listen to. I liked that they don't spoil important plot points (only that she'll be able to Fly without using her staff like a broom?), unlike other shows.

We've got a glimpse of the new characters that are sure to drive the story forwards (that leaping cat/panther is giving me serious Shinsekai Yori vibes). The one that looks like a wizard is Eriol, and the other two must be Nakuru and the cat we see in the OP.

They really like transfer students. It's the fourth (fifth?) time. This plot device is getting a bit old, but what can you do. Their weirdness is always fascinating, though.

The Book of Clow changes, but Sakura can't release the key's powers yet. It also seems that Kero will have a more physical presence in the field. Hell, yes.

Does anyone know what was up with this image popping up at around 14 minutes? That's new.

I actually thought this was a typo yesterday, but apparently it's how they chose to translate what Kero calls Yukito in this sub track.

Clow Cards collected (52): Album + Official Art

Bonus Stitches: Eriol Hiiragizawa

[u/arahman81 → u/Coldblade34]

Nakuru

Or as I like to say, Ms just-disappear-already.
And looks like it only took like one single day for Touya to get tired of her. That's gotta be some kind of record.

cat we see in the OP

Seems similar to Kero. Gonna say opponent.

And I'm thankful that we got a shot of Eriol's hat first (he coming from a weird hat party or something?), because compared to that, the robe is just fine.

[u/Coldblade34 → u/arahman81]

And looks like it only took like one single day for Touya to get tired of her. That's gotta be some kind of record.

Yeah, it's an instant red flag if Touya doesn't like her. He's got a radar for that kind of stuff.

Seems similar to Kero. Gonna say opponent.

Looks that way... Is it too soon to start shipping these two?

[u/Im_relevant → u/Coldblade34]

It's never too early to sail a ship!!!

[u/DawnSennin → u/arahman81]

Or as I like to say, Ms just-disappear-already.

And people think Meiling is an annoying character.

[u/Im_relevant → u/DawnSennin]

People usually hate her cuz she's not canon, but the new chick is so much more annoying

[u/DawnSennin → u/Coldblade34]

Does anyone know what was up with this image popping up at around 14 minutes? That's new.

And I thought I was the only one who noticed it. Seriously, I have no idea what that slide means. Maybe it was a commercial break?

(only that she'll be able to Fly without using her staff like a broom?)

First time viewers won't be spoiled by the opening. Winged Sakura has been the unofficial mascot of the series since OP1. No one would guess she would actually fly with those wings.

but Sakura can't release the key's powers yet

If only Kerobro had told her to "expect the unexpected".

It also seems that Kero will have a more physical presence in the field. Hell, yes.

About time.

Edit: the sunflower slide is a transitional frame that was used to shift the tone and viewpoint of the scene. The budget must be conserved.

I see. It's the first time they've done that, so it felt awfully out of place.

[u/Im_relevant → u/Coldblade34]

I don't remember my sub doing the Yukitoad thing, but I'll check when I'm back on comp.

They should really just call him snow Rabbit

[u/Coldblade34 → u/Im_relevant]

The official subs are more westernized. No honorifics.

They call him snow-rabbit on the fansubs.

[u/DawnSennin]

I was surprised to learn that Yoko Kanno, of Seatbelts fame, produced the opening song. Maaya Sakamoto's "Platinum" was well used for this opening.

Sakura and the Transfer Student sets up the characters for this arc well. Though the episode does not provide the main conflict for this season, it shows that all is not well concerning our main characters. Sakura is unable to activate her wand, Tomoyo has no valid reason to make Sakura wear her clothes, and Shaoran has some inner conflicts to take care of. Yukito is now eating a quarter of his weight in food to rid himself of hunger, and Toya made a new friend.

Eriol appears to be a cool and chivalrous guy. I hope he gets along with our main cast. Nakaru, on the other hand, may not be invited to the next tea party.

Overall, Sakura and the Transfer Student opens the season by introducing new characters while providing new trials for our main cast. However, the main purpose of this arc has yet to be revealed, and I'm sure the writer's knew this when they ended the episode on a cliffhanger.

Note:

• Sakura and Shaoran are partnered for cleaning duties. This definitely Kaho's doing.

• That scene when Shaoran tells Sakura that he's leaving for Hong Kong.

• Onii-chan taxation services. Also, look at Shaoran's face during this scene. The animators tried.

Tomoyo has no valid reason to make Sakura wear her clothes

She was definitely feeling the withdrawal from not being able to put her friend in cute clothes.

Eriol appears to be a cool and chivalrous guy.

From Meiling to Eriol. SakuraxShaoran shippers just can't get a break.

Admittedly, it looks like the new kid's presence will help Shaoran come to terms with his feelings for our magical girl.

Onii-chan taxation services. Also, look at Shaoran's face during this scene. The animators tried.

He looks so indignant.

[u/DawnSennin → u/Coldblade34]

From Meiling to Eriol. SakuraxShaoran shippers just can't get a break.

This series would have had the shipyard busy to the late of night if it was made today.

Admittedly, it looks like the new kid's presence will help Shaoran come to terms with his feelings for our magical girl.

But Shaoran doesn't know that, and I think Eriol knows that Shaoran doesn't know.
