>someone asked me why is it 70 episodes longThat's one episode per week for 2 years, with repose taken for holidays and to work on the films. It's uncommon for anime to be greenlit with so many episodes planned from the start, but the Cardcaptor Sakura manga was widely popular and the writers had already written and storyboarded a lot of new chapters. There's a lot of Sakura because Sakura is nice.
>>43467>because htere's a lot of source materialNope! Cardcaptor Sakura is an odd case where the manga is only 12 (relatively short) volumes. The anime added significantly more to the story, quadrupling the amount of cards and introducing new characters who themselves got their own episodes.
