You call yourself a HUGE anime fan yet you've never heard of Cardcaptor Sakura! like WTF?
How many years has your friend been into anime? Because if your buddy only got into this nutty world within the last couple of years there's a very good chance that older series are an acronym and nothing more.
New shows get thrown out there, everyone rushes to watch them, then they get left behind in the stampede of the trendier titles and only the hardcore fans have their fond memories of those unforgettable universes. Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, and Wolf's Rain were on Cartoon Network but I'd wager that their fandoms are depressingly small compared to the hordes that devoured these series when they were on TV years ago.
If your friend doesn't know CCS why, that's a great reason to introduce the series to them, ne! The universe could use a few more CLAMP fans.

(Anonymous) 2007-07-23 01:51 am (UTC)(link)I'll be honest, she got into anime fairly recently; about half a year ago? Personally, when I got into anime, I did a lot of researching as to see what's popular, what's not, etc etc so I could grasp a better understanding of what I was getting into and know where to start. However, all she watches is what her friends watch, and "thinks" what her friends do about the series. :\
I suppose you're right about all the new shows overwhelming the old ones. *suddenly feels a little silly for posting that secret* Although surely if you visit any general anime forum, you'll see refernces to CCS, Cowboy Bebop and all the older classics.
I will introduce it to her. Although I can already predict her reaction to it...¬_¬; Haha, CLAMP ftw! *big CLAMP fan*
