The adorable Sakura is back as Kodansha comics has announced that the new Cardcaptor Sakura is going to be premiered soon. The new movie, Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Arc Prologue: Sakura and the Two Bears, will be premiering at Anime Expo on July 1st of this year. The producer behind the anime, Chiyo Kawazoe, will be presenting the new series and holding a Q&A as well as special giveaways.

The official website for the film has recently started streaming a promo video for the upcoming series, which can be seen above. The new promotional video features a new song by Junko Iwao, titled "The Promised Sky". It has been announced that the new film is the prologue to the new series coming next year, and apparently is the continuation of the final episode of the Sakura Arc from the original series. The new DVD will be bundled in a upcoming special edition of a reprint of the third-volume of the original Cardcaptor Sakura manga which will go on sale September 13. There has also been a visual released to announce the OAD coming with the manga (seen below).

If you are unfamiliar with Cardcaptor Sakura, Crunchyroll describes the series of the original series below:

"Ten-year-old Sakura lives a pretty normal life with her older brother, Toya, and widowed father, Fujitaka. Or she did, until the day she returned home from school to discover a glowing book in her father's study. After opening the book and releasing the cards within, Sakura is tasked with collecting each of these magical cards, while trying to live the life of a normal fourth grader. In the monumental task of collecting all the cards, Sakura must rely on her friends and family, and decide what she finds most important in life."

Anime Expo is a convention that will run from July 1 to July 4 this year at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
