Tsubasa Chronicles [TV]

During an excavation at a mysterious ruin within the Clow Kingdom, young archeologist Syaoran is surprised by the presence of his childhood friend and Clow’s princess, Sakura. She appears with wings, which disintegrates and takes her memories with it.

Now it is up to Syaoran, and his newfound allies: Kurogane, Fai D. Flowright, and Mokona, to travel through different dimensions and retrieve Sakura’s memories.
