Today it was announced that North American video game and anime publisher NIS America will be releasing Clamp's classic anime series Cardcaptor Sakura in a Blu-ray Premium Edition and DVD standard edition on August 5. Both editions will feature a bonus monaural English dub.

The Premium Edition will retail for $249.99 and will include all seventy episodes on Blu-ray along with a 76-page hardcover art book, clean openings and endings and a collectible slip case. The standard edition will ship in three four-DVD volumes for $59.99 each.

NIS describes the story:

Ten-year-old Sakura lives a pretty normal life with her older brother, Toya, and widowed father, Fujitaka. At least 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.

Previously released and heavily edited on Kids WB as the series Cardcaptors, Geneon Entertainment had previously released the series on DVD and VHS with subtitles although it had been halted in 2007.
