"This is the best, I suggest you get it, one of the best Sakura episodes is on this one...
Yea, this review wasn't helpful..oh well..."
Subtitled Anime is better than the remade stuff.

"I liked this series much better than Cardcaptors. It made a lot more sense and all of the sub-plots were there."

"Cardcaptor Sakura: Vol. 16: Friends in Need contains episodes 60-63 of the long anime series about a young girl who accidentally releases some magical cards created by an ancient Chinese sorceror named Clow Reed. Sakura must collect all the Clow Cards, with the help of Kero, guardian beast of the seal, and her school friends Tomoyo and Shaoran. Many adventures ensue.
Friends In Need has everything: story, emotion, action, and we get to see Sakura in an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL KIMONO! The previous two volumes were disappointing because it seemed Sakura only faced watered-down challenges once she had collected all the cards, and was converting them to Star Cards. But now, everything is coming together.
Episode 60 - Sakura and the Precious Friend - The precious friend is Mei Lin, who has returned from Hong Kong for only one day. Shaoran has invited her because he is going to tell her that he has feelings for Sakura. I cried because my heart was breaking for Mei Lin.
Episode 61 - Sakura, the Card, and the Presents - It's Christmas, but we don't have a Christmas episode as such. Sakura asks Mirror to represent her and go on an errand with Toya while she takes care of other business. But it seems Mirror has a little crush on Sakura's big brother.
Episode 62 - Sakura and the Strange Written Fortune - Sakura dresses in kimono (KAWAIIII!!!!!!!) to visit the shrine with Touya and her Father on New Year's Day. The custom is that you will make a wish and get a fortune for the year. But Eriol is tending the shrine, and Sakura gets a strange fortune. Later that night, she has a strange dream. What does it mean?
Episode 63 - Sakura, the Pool, and the Huge Wave - Great action, as a trip to a new indoor pool turns into terror.
Extras include an art gallery."
