Sakura does her little "transform the key to the
wand" and "use the Clow/Star Card" banks the
exact same way every time, except in different
clothes. This is apparently where the "nude
bank" cels come from: evidently the studio
planned to use these over and over as a bottom
layer, and a top layer with the clothes for each
adventure would be added. But evidently this
didn't work well, so the studio had all the bank
cels painted with the costumes on the same layer
as Sakura's body.
What is odd is there there are both Bird Key
(Season 1-2) and Star Key (Season 3) nude bank
cels. If it didn't work in Season 1, why would
they try it again in Season 3?
Anyhow, the one I have is not a bank cel, which
is why it puzzles me. And she's got the same
clothes on in both, just with a different color
scheme.
Still pleasantly puzzled...
