Something's wrong with how I'm watching anime.

My anime watching habits are a bit off. (Author: 1234wei)

Introduction:

Kazama opened his list of anime series he was watching, only to find that the series he was following were starting to go wrong.

In Cardcaptor Sakura, Sakura failed to obtain the Clow Cards and become a magical girl, instead living a peaceful and stable daily life.

In Parasyte, the parasite that first appeared, possessing a dachshund, disappeared without a trace.

In Demon Slayer, the Lower Moons, who were supposed to be fired by Muzan, all disappeared.

Kazama fell into deep thought as he looked at the Book of Clow Cards that had suddenly appeared at his feet.

Chapter 1: Something's Wrong with My Anime Watching

In traditional ACG culture, magical girl themes are a very important component.

The literal meaning of this theme is not difficult to understand: it is about human females aged 7 to 18 who can use magic, who suddenly gain magical powers in the real world, and the series of stories that follow.

Since this concept first appeared to the public, magical girl works have gone through a long history.

And naturally, many masterpieces were born during this period of history.

Cardcaptor Sakura

This may be the most successful magical girl work of all time.

A simple yet engaging story, with gorgeous costumes and item designs. A lovely story, adorable outfits, and charming characters; cool battles, cool magic, and cool familiars.

Cardcaptor Sakura has almost achieved everything that the magical girl genre can offer. It's a childhood memory for many, and even now, nearly 20 years later, it still maintains a certain level of popularity.

This anime is also one of Kazama's childhood memories.

As a web novel author, Kazama is currently writing a chapter about magical girls, so he plans to rewatch this old anime to find inspiration.

Things are different now than they were back then.

You don't need to sit in front of the TV at all times to watch what you want; you can just find the resources online.

Coincidentally, PiliPili, the video-sharing platform that Kazama has been using, recently introduced this classic anime.

Simply add it to your watchlist and you can watch it anytime.

At 11 p.m., after washing up, Kazama turned off the room light and went straight to bed.

He has a hard time falling asleep; he needs to stay in bed for half an hour to an hour before he feels sleepy and can drift off to sleep.

Watching anime at this time of year is perfect.

Lying in bed in a comfortable position, Kazama opened the first episode of Cardcaptor Sakura.

Familiar characters, familiar voice actors, familiar picture quality.

Everything seemed so fitting, and as the animation played, memories buried deep within began to surface:

Sakura Kinomoto is a fourth-grade girl.

She has a happy family: a gentle and virtuous father, a cold-faced but warm-hearted older brother with maximum work ability. Except for her mother, who passed away at a very young age, it is basically a perfect family.

Sakura Kinomoto wears roller skates every day and goes to school on time.

However, Sakura overslept that day because she had a strange dream.

After arriving at school, Sakura seemed distracted, as if she sensed something was about to happen.

Before she knew it, school was over, and she returned home, only to feel a strange vibration coming from the storage room.

"Going to get the Clow Cards..."

Watching this scene, Kazama muttered to himself.

It's been almost ten years since I first watched this anime. I've forgotten most of the plot, but I'll never forget the main storyline, like when Sakura gets the Clow Cards.

The Clow Cards are the origin of the Cardcaptor Sakura story. They are magical cards left behind by the great magician Clow Reed and contain extremely powerful magic.

When Kazama was young, he was naive and innocent, and what he wanted most was a deck of Clow Cards.

Of course, I'm referring to the magical cards in the story, not ordinary toys in reality.

Kazama can still recall some of the feelings he had when he was a child, the longing he felt for things he dreamed of.

Thinking of this, Kazama couldn't help but laugh.

However, his smile didn't last long.

A heavy drowsiness instantly washed over me, the kind that I couldn't stop.

'Clow Cards...'

His previous thought was cut off by sleepiness, and Kazama Yu fell into a deep sleep, while his phone slipped from his hand and fell next to his pillow.

In the dark room, the phone screen glowed, with a strange, seven-colored light flashing before the screen went out.

Kazama was completely unaware of all this, as he simply sank into deep darkness.

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky and a sliver of light shone through a corner of the curtains, Kazama woke up.

He blinked, and his consciousness returned to his body.

Kazama didn't immediately get out of bed. Instead, he turned over and found his phone, which had fallen onto the pillow.

He has a habit of lingering in bed.

Even before graduating from junior or senior high school, he would rather set his alarm half an hour earlier and lie on the bed for a while first.

After graduating from university, he became a freelancer. Although he was relatively self-disciplined, he did not change his obsession with bed; in fact, it became even stronger.

When I unlocked my phone, the screen still showed the scene from Cardcaptor Sakura that I watched yesterday.

The scene freezes on Sakura holding a baseball bat, standing in front of the storage room door.

Kazama reached out and lightly tapped the screen, and the image came to life again.

Then, Kazama quickly frowned.

The reason is simple: in the scene, Sakura Kinomoto opens the storage room, goes inside, and begins searching.

However, Sakura found nothing and then left the room.

Seeing this, Kazama frowned.

Something seems... off?

Kazama was stunned and sat up in bed.

In her memory, shouldn't Sakura have found the Clow Book that sealed the cards by following the vibration sound?

How could they have exited without finding anything?

Is there something wrong with my memory?

Kazama Yuu fell into doubt.

Meanwhile, the images on her phone kept changing. Sakura Kinomoto returned to her room and began thinking about what to eat that night.

She looked just like any ordinary young girl.

No, no, no...

Sakura Kinomoto is Cardcaptor Sakura! She's the original Queen of Moe!

With his memory somewhat muddled, Kazama immediately exited the video playback interface and returned to the anime's initial screen.

He wanted to see what the comments on the show were like, to see if there was really something wrong with his memory.

However, the comment section was completely empty.

Even after refreshing the page, the comments are still not visible.

Kazama pressed the back button, wanting to return to the homepage, but found that this operation didn't work either.

The phone went straight back to the initial screen.

"What a piece of junk software..." Kazama couldn't help but shake his phone and complain.

He no longer feels like staying in bed.

I got out of bed, slipped my feet into my slippers, and prepared to wash up.

But as soon as he got out of bed and took his first step, Kazama felt like he kicked something and stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

After regaining his footing, Kazama looked down at the thing he had just kicked.

That was a book.

A simple, antique book with an obscure cover featuring intricate patterns and a lion motif, and a lock on the side.

very familiar.

Looking at the books at his feet, Kazama fell silent.

Chapter Two: The Seal is Broken

"Splash..."

With a splashing sound, Kazama scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face.

The cool water splashed on my face stimulated my skin and senses, instantly making me feel refreshed.

Kazama turned off the tap on the sink and looked up at himself in the mirror.

A handsome face appeared in the mirror. He looked somewhat frail, and his seemingly mature face carried an air of scholarly refinement.

However, there was a slight frown between his brows, as if he had encountered something incomprehensible.

Kazama picked up a damp towel from the side, wiped his face, and then left the washroom.

Kazama considered himself to be a very calm person.

He has always managed his emotions very well. In the 21 years since he was born, he has rarely lost control of his emotions.

However, he is indeed finding it difficult to calm down right now.
