miko2I've been watching Card Captor Sakura since Friday, when I pulled out the first six or seven dvds to lend to Kristin. I watched the first six episodes before lending those dvds to her at writer's night, and then afterwards I just started watching from the next dvd that I had in the series.
It's a very long series and to my mind is one of the most creative and interesting magical girl series I've ever seen. I'm now past the point where the first movie takes place, and past the point where Sakura has collected all of the cards, and in many ways the series only gets better beyond that point. New characters appear, with unknown motives and mysterious pasts, and the series begins to deal more seriously with some of the interpersonal relationships and to confront some of the tougher questions involved. For a series that is mostly happiness and light-hearted friendly kid's stories, it really holds up very well over a pretty long series -- 70 episodes and 2 movies.
My goal this week is to write on one of two stories every day. I feel as if I've already failed, but in fact I wrote quite a bit on my new story yesterday morning, so while it's been 24 hours since then, I still have time to get some writing done on it today. I'm still trying to figure out exactly when the story should start -- I pretty much know what the central theme is, but trying to figure out where it starts and where it ends is more difficult.
