CLAMP: What kind of inheritence is that?

Nostalgics lovers will found out most of the CLAMP creative works at ambitious with strong female characters and a message that are related to teamwork and love. But looking of it today, and that the company seems to be currently a distant history, this is hard to describe what a CLAMP creation would be like in 2025, and that things have changed since the all-women studio getting big time and lots of praise for their achieving works.

For the average fans out there, Cardcaptor Sakura is easily its biggest and knowing property, due to be targeted to youth girls. But if your message is about honest love but that you are constantly more busy and obsessed to the pupil eyes than actual romance, it's not always worth to telling it, especially if many parenting groups at that time complained of the oversexualization that portrayed much of these women characters at products.

Imagine that you are a feminist and mother and that you have grew with these stuffs at young. If your children followed it too, but you've been dazzled to how unrealistic and stereotypical most of the female characters are portrayed there, how would you react to that? This is a recall again that these are products of its time, so much that such of a loving bond like Sakura and the other captor boy will be claims at stupid and alienated today, on an #Metoo era when preventing love without consent and harassment in public are became the norm.

But by the mid-00s, CLAMP went easily at Auto-Pilot, when such futile works at Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (I shall know this. I reading the first issues before to call it at trash!) became a CLAMP's Greatest Bits than an actual plot. Everything from Cardcaptor Sakura and others being slipped there when it preventing me about copyacts featuring in most In-House works, even with your best efforts to tell otherwise. But these facts are just lazy and unavoidable to hide.

And then there's the way some social medias freaks endorsed it at "romantic" when most of these bits are just dated and lame concepts to begin with. The way CLAMP make products as we still were in the 1960s sitcoms age, the reception that these productions can make the brains to kids off (Yeah, the 2001s Internet weren't truly kind with this.) and that all this went from the North American Anime-nia when Pokemon been part responsible of all this make it at Second Banana by comparison. If that weren't for non-CCS works, everyone else will seen you at a "Pedo-freak" who are just obsessed to the protagonists' dress. And when what motivate you to follow these things are for the outfits variety (See Totally Spies!) instead to any involvement on the story, that's never a good thing.

Fortunately to us, Manga and Anime went with better directions and stories that tied with the reality of today's many youngs. Because once you reading or watching these, you constantly realize that you are not longer alone. Mangas are no longer seen just by the elite, but to everyone. And when they quit with plugged the thing for sells merch as "Infomercials" like the way most newer BDs are been pity with generic fanservice characters that never left the world wide web. But for CLAMP? This is a legacy that giving to youth girls the heroines on themselves, but at a studio brand, such things would be better if consistencies and substances were there in all its full-run.
