is formulaic, but there is always more going on in an episode than just
'the formula'. For the first half of the series for example, Sakura is
trying to capture one card an episode. However, there is always
something different in addition to this. Often times it has to do with
different relationships with different characters, other times its
hinting at whats going to happen far later in the series, other times,
its as simple as trying to do a book report ect. It sounds mundane, and i
guess you could say it is, but the excellent writing, lovable
characters, superb character development, a couple of really well done
twists about half way through the show, and some really standout
episodes in addition to its warm and fun style really help it stand out
and make it very enjoyable to watch. So yeah, its formulaic in someways,
but it is by no means bad.
