Warner Bros. Japan announced this summer their plans for a complete box set for the Cardcaptor Sakura TV series that’ll land nicely before the new TV series. The show is set for a December 13th, 2017 release where the DVD set is priced at 21,600 yen and the Blu-ray at 42,000 yen and we now have a new look at the packaging as a whole and the four main covers, two for the cases and two for the box, which will definitely delight fans.
The set is going to be different from the previous edition a couple of years ago as it’s being mastered from the original 35mm negative films and scanned in 4k resolution. There are also several new audio commentaries by the cast that have been recorded just for this edition.
The set will have eleven discs for its run and extras include the clean opening and closing sequences in addition to the new commentaries.
The original manga has seen release in North America originally from TOKYOPOP and Dark Horse Comics recently brought it out in omnibus form. NIS America released the TV series on Blu-ray after Geneon released it in singles earlier last decade.
Plot Concept: Ten-year-old Sakura lives a pretty normal life with her older brother, Toya, and widowed father, Fujitaka. Or she did, until the day she returned home from school to discover a glowing book in her father’s study. After opening the book and releasing the cards within, Sakura is tasked with collecting each of these magical cards, while trying to live the life of a normal fourth grader. In the monumental task of collecting all the cards, Sakura must rely on her friends and family, and decide what she finds most important in life.
After a harrowing journey to collect the cards and prove her worth as their master, Sakura finds herself in a whole new world of trouble as mysterious events begin to threaten the small town of Tomoeda. To make matters worse, Yukito seems to be having some unexplained troubles of his own. With no cards left on the loose, Sakura must form a special bond with her cards to quell each new disturbance, and discover what could possibly be causing them before the lives of Tomoeda’s residents are damaged beyond repair!
