Anime Spotlight #13: Cardcaptor Sakura

Description:
Sakura Kinomoto never imagined that by opening a book in her father's library, she'd be responsible for releasing wild magic into the world, yet that's exactly what she did. Too powerful to be let loose on the world, the magical Clow cards were sealed away long ago by their creator, Clow Reed. But all is not lost, for the guardian beast, Keroberos, was sealed along with the cards! Can Sakura, with the help of Keroberos, retrieve the cards before they wreak havoc on the town?

Reason for Spotlight:
The reason for this spotlight is because this is one of my all time favourite of the old classic Anime that children used to watch and didn't realise that it was Anime. When I got into Anime, it took me a while to find this and when I did, I recognised it straight away. The theme song, the unique characters and also the rubbish yet awesome voice acting just makes it amazingly brilliant. I rated this 5 stars because back in the day, this would have been seen as an amazing Anime. If you are a fan of Sailor Moon or anything to do with magic and fighting to protect the ones you love then this is perfect for you.

Anime Spotlight #10: The Irregular at Magic High School (Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei)

Description:
The anime's story takes place in a world in which magic is not a fairy tale, but has existed for nearly one hundred years. In the spring, the Private Magic University Affiliated High School (Magic High School for short) is welcoming its new students, and names the top incoming student with the best grades the Bloom. The student called the Weed is the Bloom's replacement. Siblings Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba are designated as the Weed and Bloom, respectively. Tatsuya is a young man who always has a farsighted expression, and Miyuki is a young woman who feels far more for her brother than sibling love. Since the day the two entered the gates of the elite school, the establishment's peaceful days have become chaotic.

Reason for Spotlight:
Although this has a great rating it hasn't been watching by a lot of people, which leads to me think "Why?". The most basic answer is not many people know about it, or have had time to watch it or rate it on certain sites such as "Anime Planet". This Anime although isn't perfect in any shape of form, its good, really good. If you don't mind close relationships between family members that is. The magic is amazing and the actual storyline is pretty unique. If you like magic related Anime then this is right up your street. GO check it out :)
