Seeka 12,372 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 In a time where the LGBTQIA community is wanting more representation, we should look on something miraculous back in the day. Cardcaptor Sakura, a magical girl anime often overlooked, and may we say, a spiritual prequel to Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, had a bisexual main character. Li Syaoran, a Chinese transfer student and descendant of a family who protected the Clow cards, is a main character in Cardcaptor Sakura. And he falls hard for Yuki, a high schooler who Sakura also has a crush on. While nothing comes of it, Li's feelings are obvious and the dub even realizes they can't write it off as anything other than a crush. This is a children's anime mind you. Made in the 90s. Well it was made by CLAMP. But still. 90s. And this has been a throwback to your openly LGBTQIA childhood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taste has arrived! @Seeka I never watched it in full because we had sh!tty cable. The only childhood animes I have watched in full was Digimon. So I'm like rewatching it now. 5 minutes ago, Ryusei said: mind you he's also 9-13 throughout the series so yeah But anyways I loove Card Captor Sakura Little bisexual doods need representation too. I get what you're saying. But still. It's CLAMP. Li is definitely bi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bling 12,253 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Just now, Seeka said: It's CLAMP. They don't create heterosexuals. Ever. But I just thought I'd bring forth the most obvious one. Well I'd say the most obvious is Tomoko, but she can be disguised as the average infatuated best friend (and she is) And Touya and Yukito don't hide it very well either Syoran gets the 'he's not really bi, he's attracted to a guy because of magic' treatment tho Sigmund Freud, analyze this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomoyo and Sakura get that romantic friendship dealio. But Sakura has it so bad for boys. Touya and Yukito are like adorbs. I still place Li on the LGBTQIA spectrum. Like there's only gonna be so much magic that will force you against cultural norms. However Li is from China, and I don't know much about China in the 90s. But also it's a CLAMP anime. Everyone is pretty and bisexual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
