Am I the only one curious about the nekomimi ghost? Oh, really? Never mind, then.

Volume two of Card Captor Sakura, as mentioned in my previous post on episode 5, is called "Everlasting Memories", probably based on the events in this episode, and contains episodes five to eight. Since I deferred talking about the DVD itself last time, I'll get around to it now.

The blurb for this volume is as follows:

As if capturing 40-foot tall plush dolls (the Jump) wasn't hard enough, now Sakura has competition! Li, her new classmate, has come from China to capture the Clow Cards for himself, so their relationship isn't entirely friendly… Still for ten-year old Sakura, everything else pales in comparison with meeting her mother's ghost! Can her heart take it?

This makes it sound as though Sakura has a cardiovascular problem or something.

Extras in this DVD are scarce: there's only really the creditless first ending animation. With this many DVD volumes to fill (eighteen in total), there's not a lot Geneon (then Pioneer) can do to make up for it, I would think. We have the various creditless openings and endings, and, um, that's probably about it, really. Especially considering the gap between show production and DVD release.

Episode 6, "Sakura and Memories of her Mother", has the appearance of not one, but two battle costumes. Also, there's a lot of flashy lights, although not really up to epileptic levels.
