I have to say...
There was more romantic development in the 30 minutes of "My Girl" than 1200 minutes of CCS. And surprise, it's a kids movie. But romance was not the focus of CCS, so why not just skip it and make the couple happily ever after, because everyone knows that they will end up together.
And they're a cute couple. Made by divine intervention.
Just put aside all the obstacles, personality differences and cultural differences, and is that love?
O, they are in love, the rest does not matter, does it?
The Syaoran->Sakura thing is obvious.
Sakura->Syaoran?
Let's remember the Tv series: Yukito tells her that she will find another person that will truly love her (episode 66) --> Syaoran comforts Sakura (Episode 66) -->
? uh? Hello? 67-68-69---> Syaoran tells Sakura that he loves her (end of 69) --> Sakura decides that she truly loves Syaoran (70) --> they are happy ever after (2nd movie). Sakura falls from her jump (after the 2nd movie). End of the Series.
The manga is better than the anime is this point. We have:
? what (past 10 volumes) -> Yukito tells her that she will find another person that will truly love her --> Syaoran comforts Sakura --> Sappy romantic moments between S&S because now Yukito won't disturb anyome ---> Syaoran tells Sakura that he loves her --> Sakura decides that she truly loves Syaoran --> A magical moment where everything is resolved --> they are happy ever after . End of the manga.
Eriol, Touya, Yukito, Tomoyo, Mei-ling, Mizuki....Sakura was the only one that didn't know, wasn't it obvious? How could she be so blind? How could she never have thought about it? Maybe because she rarely ever thoght about him? Sakura turns into a normal friend that never showed the least of romantic intentions to a sappy little girl in love in less than one episode.
Consider yourself warned.
