I remember having a normal liking for Syaoran as I watched CCS. I thought he was cute... but at that time I wasn't into anime guys (I know, how pathetic can I be?)
At the last episode, I was totally angry that Sakura didn't properly confess her feelings to Syoaran. I mean, come on! It took him so long to tell her how he felt, and he really went through a lot to realise his feelings for her, from realising that he didn't really love Yukito, and then turn down Meiling... I admired him so much and that's what he gets?
Of course, I found out later there was a second movie, and ever since then Syaoran became my first bishounen.
CCS introduced me to the world of anime, but Syaoran enabled me to fall in love with anime characters. He's still my number one!
