Kadokyaputa Sakura (1998)
A good addition to the amazing world of mahou shoujo titles!!
I don't think it's right to compare two outstanding mahou shoujo titles like CardCaptor Sakura and Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon. BSSM was unfairly dumbed down by its dubber and not shown in its entirety. Like CardCaptor Sakura, it's a very good and in-depth series. The Stars season being the most outstanding of all. Tsukino Usagi, Sailormoon's heroine, showed development throughout all the five seasons. We see her emerge from her dependent shell into a person who will take responsibility for her actions. She refuses to let her friends and loved ones down and will do anything for them. She, truly, is pure of heart.
CLAMP, the creators of X, Wish, Magic Knight Rayearth, have done a really good job with CCS. It's beautifully done and in CLAMP tradition, comes with the usual complicated relationships. My favorite CCS series is the Sakura Card series. Kinomoto Sakura, even though only 10 years of age, is very strong-willed. At first somewhat awkward about her "job" as the chosen cardcaptor, she arises from it a stronger and more responsible girl.
If possible, check out the real manga versions (not the English edited ones) of both anime as the manga delves into the characters even more than the anime version.
The Magician (1999)
Impressive
Even though this cartoon is not very popular, it is very well-done. It doesn't just appeal to children but to an older audience as well. The fantasy theme of this show is more reality than it is fiction. Everybody will fall in love with Cosmo, the cute and witty sidekick of Ace Cooper, the Magician.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997)
Clever, witty, scary, and funny
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a great show because it combines horror, comedy, action, and drama into a great one-hour show. Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz have great on-screen chemistry. Nicky Brendon's character plays an important part of the show as funny & witty Xander. Quiet Willow and (werewolf) Oz make a great couple. Cordelia is great, too. ASH contributes a great part as Watcher Giles. Dru & Spike are great villains. Faith is well...forget her. BTVS ROCKS!!!!
Profiler (1996)
great thriller
Profiler is a great show! I am a BELIEVER and I think that we should see more of Sam and John together. Julian McMahon and Ally Walker have great on-screen chemistry. Bailey, George, and Grace and great, too!
