* GeckoEnding: The anime finishes in 22 episodes and only adapts roughly to Chapter 24, the one chapter in the manga when a lot of plot twists are shown [[spoiler:(Syaoran having ownership of the Sakura cards and Syaoran being revealed as the cloaked figure in Sakura's dream)]]. The anime leaves out the first twist and changes the second twist to avoid a cliffhanger finish, and doesn't get to investigate plot points either. Instead, the last episode ends with [[spoiler: Kaito reversing time so Sakura and Akiho's battle never happened while noting he still needs more cards]], leaving a SequelHook.

* AdaptationDistillation: Aside from the additional material, many anime scenes/stories themselves are significantly different from the manga (for example, Sakura captures Labyrinth when out in town with Yukito/Yue in the manga but captures it outside her house at the same time as Snooze in the anime), similar to the original series. Notably, in the last episode [[spoiler:the cloaked figure is shown to be Akiho]], while in the manga [[spoiler:the cloaked figure, at least in Sakura's dream, is shown to be Syaoran]].

** Sakura and Syaoran, in the downplayed way a junior high school couple could have. While promotional materials for the anime make a big emphasis in the note that Sakura and Syaoran are officially girlfriend and boyfriend in this series, the average viewer might not know it from watching it without the background info. The series still plays with classic pre-couple tropes like NotADate and LuminescentBlush for the two's interactions, and it's ''very'' subtly whenever they behave as something more than the friends and classmates they already were. In fact, by the end of the anime they have not yet progressed into hugging (that isn't for extreme reasons like their reunion or Syaoran's silent vow to make her happy) or holding hands (not counting the first ED animation), which even the usually demure CLAMP allow for their romantic couplings.

The room seemingly has no way out, and pushing on the walls only causes it to stretch.

Sakura goes on through her social life, Touya starts bullying her as an excuse for feeling something's wrong about her, she and Syaoran share a romantic moment, Sakura has a premonition, she sees something weird happening nobody else even notices, she captures the card, the other magical characters can't feel the presence of any magic, they try to contact Eriol, but he refuses to answer, and Tomoyo tries to film Sakura, but fails.

* LongRunnerTechMarchesOn: Takes place within 3 years of the end of the original series, which was set in the mid 1990's. (Then ThePresentDay when the series came out). As such, the original gave Sakura things like a CRT television in her bedroom, and flip-phones with buttons. However, since it was released in TheNewTens, Sakura is using technology such as flat-screen TVs and computers, smartphones, and Skype (or something along its lines).

* TheBusCameBack: Meiling, who returned to Hong Kong in the original anime, visits for a few episodes in the anime and stays with Sakura.



* DemotedToExtra: Kerberos, Syaoran, and Yue don't have as much relevance to the plot as before, which is mostly justified as neither can sense magic from the new cards and so can't be of much help this time. Kerberos tries to remain a typical mentor he's always been but is otherwise the butt of jokes most of the time, Yue (as Yukito) are busy, and Syaoran initially isn't around to help Sakura all that often. Kerberos and Yue do still try to consult with Sakura and with each other whenever possible, and Syaoran is also seen doing a lot of sneaking around especially with Eriol.

In fact, by the end of the anime they have not yet progressed into hugging or holding hands, which even the usually demure CLAMP allow for their romantic couplings.

''Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card'' is a sequel manga started in June 2016, and it takes up the story right after the end of the original ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' series. A new anime series based on the sequel was released in January 6, 2018 with the original staff and cast returning. An [=OVA=] which is a prologue for the 2018 TV series was released on September 17, 2017. Creator/{{Funimation}} has acquired the home video and streaming rights for ''Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card'', and will have an English Simuldub as well.

!!''Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card'' provides examples of:

* ArtEvolution: This being the 20th anniversary series, it makes sense that the art has changed. The fanbase appears to be split on whether the new style is better or not.
* CallBack: Episode 9 has Sakura and Syaoran going on a date to the aquarium where Watery was captured. The Spiral card that shows up this time is defeated in a similar way -- instead of luring it to the freezer, Syaoran uses an ice spell to freeze it.
** Episode 16 has Sakura defeating Struggle with martial arts together with Meiling, which was how Syaoran earned the Twin card.
* ContinuitySnarl: ''Clear Card'' seemingly retcons the events of ''The Sealed Card''. For example, Akiho moves into Eriol's old mansion, whereas in ''The Sealed Card'', it was destroyed and replaced by a theme park. [[spoiler:It turns out reality was manipulated, making it reappear and erasing everyone's memories in the process]]. The characters, at least, remember the school play they took part in.
* DemotedToExtra: Kerberos, Syaoran, and Yue don't have as much relevance to the plot as before. Kerberos is just sort of there for the occasional joke without anything else to do because he can't be written out, Yue was given an "he's very busy" excuse, and Syaoran at least has the fact he's the love interest going for him and the hints that he's involved in what's going on somehow, but he still doesn't get to do much of anything.
* {{Flanderization}}: True, Tomoyo was already obsessed with filming Sakura in the original anime, but in the new one? She gets downright ''creepy'' about it, to the point of scaring Kero to death when he fails to capture Sakura in her place.
* MakingASplash: The Aqua card manifests as a giant bird made of water, like some sort of inverted Phoenix.
* MythologyGag:
** In the first episode, the uniform for Rika's new school resembles that of Fuu Hououji's uniform from ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth''.
** Chiharu having a different memory of Yamazaki's role during the school play in the original series is a nod to how his role in the play is different in the anime and manga versions. In the manga (which everyone else remembers), he had a big role as the witch. Meanwhile, in the anime (which Chiharu remembers), he played the queen while Meiling played the witch.
** In the second episode, Touya makes okonomiyaki like the version of him from the Hanshin Republic did in ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle''
** In the third episode, Touya and Yukito are shown working at the bakery Tirol from {{Manga/Chobits}} and {{Manga/Kobato}}.
* PutOnABus: Rika goes into a different middle school.
* SealedRoomInTheMiddleOfNowhere: Sakura's room turns into one of these as a result of the Siege card in the second episode. The room seemly has no way out, and pushing on the walls only causes it to stretch. It soon begins to actively try to kill them, but they find a way to escape quickly when they realize it's made of rubber and so can be popped with a sharp object like you can a balloon.
* SettingUpdate: The time period the show takes place in has been quietly modernized to TheNewTens. Episode 1 shows that the Sakura's calendar is set in 2018. The characters now are using smartphones, and a [=PS4=] replaces the Super Nintendo-like gaming console Kero was shown playing in the original show.
* SeriesContinuityError: In episode 18, when Touya is talking with Yue, he says he asked Yukito what Yue's name is because it felt weird not knowing his name all this time. Yue clearly told Touya his name when they met in the first series.
* StrictlyFormula: The initial episodes start this way. Sakura goes on through her social life, Touya starts bullying her as an excuse for feeling something's wrong about her, she and Syaoran share a romantic moment, Sakura has a premonition, she sees something weird happening nobody else even notices, she captures the card, the other magical characters can't feel the presence of any magic, they try to contact Eriol, but he refuses to answer, and Tomoyo tries to film Sakura, but fails.
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Syaoran manages to communicate with two English-speaking tourists in episode 9 rather well. In the dub, it's changed to French.
* TruerToTheText:
** The prologue episode adapts the manga's finale.
** The Funimation dub is also far more faithful to the series' themes.
* TutuFancy: It's probably for the best that Sakura only wore that swan costume in the opening sequence, considering all the frills that could trip her up on the field (so to speak).
* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler:Episode 21 reveals two major things; Kaito is not only one of the strongest magicians, but is seeking Sakura's Clear Cards to activate a relic he took from a Magician's Association.
