I was thinking it's the same thing as adding a Nanoha from A's and Nanoha from StrikerS. I personally prefer Fate over Nanoha in StrikerS, but like Nanoha over Fate in A's, which is why it's sort of a concern to me.
Basically, what I'd like to ask is what were the reasons for your decision to add Sakura twice as people from a different series.
Spoiler for minhtam2448 replies:
I actually had a panel discussion (okay, that was my decision alone, and Klashikari confirmed it) with some of our staff members when Cardcaptor Sakura was nominated. We even added Nanoha and Fate into the mix of that as well, and we came to this conclusion.
Nanoha A's and Nanoha StrikerS had a connected storyline - both Nanoha and Fate aged 9 years, the TSAB was still in effect, etc. These two series have had similarities with each other, not to mention that both Nanoha and Fate retained their voice actors.
However, in terms of Sakura Kinomoto and Sakura-hime - Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle have no connection whatsoever - the only similarities were the names itselves (Actually not even, as Sakura-hime has no last name). And not only were storyline plots completely different and disconnected from each other, but both Sakura Kinomoto and Sakura-hime have different personalities and different mindsets. Although one can argue that both of these girls are one in the same, I have to admit that these girls really are different.
It's not as if Fate and Nanoha aren't different in A's and StrikerS - but their storylines have a connection of nine years with the same terms. Compare that to a urban lifestyle vs. a kingdom, and you can really tell the difference.
Therefore, we came to the conclusion that we will treat Sakura Kinomoto and Sakura-Hime as two different characters.
