Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

Cardcaptor Sakura is rated as neutral because its central themes revolve around universal concepts such as friendship, love, responsibility, and personal growth, rather than engaging with or promoting specific political ideologies.

Cardcaptor Sakura features a cast consistent with its Japanese origin, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of its characters and themes, without explicit critiques of traditional identities or central DEI-driven narratives.

Secondary

Cardcaptor Sakura features several prominent same-sex attractions, including Tomoyo's love for Sakura and the deep bond between Touya and Yukito. These relationships are consistently portrayed with dignity, respect, and emotional depth, without being a source of mockery or negativity, contributing to a largely affirming depiction.

Cardcaptor Sakura is recognized for its progressive portrayal of various relationships and gender expressions, including same-sex attraction and gender non-conforming characters. However, the series does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes, leading to a net impact rating of N/A for this specific category.

The show primarily features magical combat through the use of Clow Cards by the protagonist, Sakura Kinomoto. While some female characters possess martial arts skills, there are no clear instances where a female character achieves victory over one or more male opponents in direct physical combat.

The 1998–2000 anime adaptation of Cardcaptor Sakura faithfully portrays all major characters with the same genders as established in the original manga. No characters who were canonically male or female are depicted as a different gender in the show.

The 1998-2000 anime adaptation of Cardcaptor Sakura faithfully portrays the races of its characters as established in the original Japanese manga. No characters who were canonically or visually established as one race in the source material are depicted as a different race in the show.
