What the hell am I talking about?

[-Drifter-]

I'm trying to track down a show I used to watch as a kid, but don't actually remember much about it. Perhaps you fine folks can help me out, I have a vague description (hopefully not overly so.)

It was an anime.

The main character was a girl.

I think it was sorta sepia-tone, but can't be sure, so you may/may not want to disregard that.

It had a large emphasis on elements (Fire, Earth, Water, Air. Not the scientific ones.)

Cards were somehow involved.

So, any idea what I might be describing?

 

[-Drifter-]

No one, eh?
Come on, no one knows?

 

[grimsprice]

Hmmm. Sorry, don't know, but i'll bump for you!

How do cards have anything to do with ancient elements?

 

[dududf]

Avatar the air Bender?

Uhhh....

Fuck sorry man, I only remember good ones or really really bad ones...

 

[IxionIndustries]

I think I remember this show too.. Wasn't it about like, the priestesses of those elements, each one had a temple or something? ...Although I can't recall hearing about cards in it though..

Cardcaptors? I'm not a big anime expert...

Captain Planet.

Mostly because of this line "It had a large emphasis on elements (Fire, Earth, Water, Air. Not the scientific ones.)"

Hmmm, sounds correct, though I can't really say. This was a fair few years ago.

 

[OmegaXIII]

Sounds like Cardcaptors to me, can't think of anything else that would fit

 

[muckinscavitch]

it wasn't that one that had the girl Holly and the creatures that came from spinning disks right? that show was awesome

 

[Mr. Grey]

I want to say... Card Captor Sakura?

God I wish I could remember why I watched that, or was it a passing glance? Damn you Chronos! Bring back to me the time of rememberance!

*cough*
No

Go watch some Full Metal Alchemist, or hell Carried by the Wind: Tsukikage Ran, Tenjho Tenge, or uhhh.... (Problems remembering stuff other then the most recent stuff I've watched.rewatched..)

So yeah.

Personally I'd say skip, but people have different tastes, so it differs from person to person...

Huh.. Well, good luck with that one. I've been trying to remember it myself..

EDIT: Cardcaptors? Damn.. That doesn't seem to fit the "Film Grain" thing you mentioned, but whatever.

Now I still have to find mine..

It's cardcaptors.

Didn't you look at the other comments?

Card Captors comes to mind. It played on Fox Kids waaaay back in the nineties(ok not that far back i suppose. for me it is though).


Edit: ARGH I probably should have read through before I answered. I just felt so special knowing for once lol.

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Cardcaptors, which I believe was identified and acknowledged by the original poster.

So I just watched the first episode. How was it, you ask? Eh... not bad, but not too remarkable. I'll watch a few more episodes before I decide whether it was worth re-discovering, but I can't shake the feeling that the artist's a pedophile.

Oh, wait, it's anime, of course they are.
