Sakura Card Captors

Not wishing to sound like a mad dub hater, I have to say that anime dubs are getting worse. Sailor moon was bad. Pokemon was bad. This is unforgivable.

It seems that this time the intention was to completely change the show, it was not just something that happened. The voices are nowhere near as good as the Japanese original, some characters (particularly Tomoyo, who incidentally is one of my favourite anime characters of all time) have completely new personalities, and most of them have the wrong names.

Add to this Sakura and Tomoyo's relationship has been severed, most episodes have been missed out, the rest have been butchered, and to cap it all off, Kero sounds like Rumble out of Transformers. (Not wishing to insult the great Frank Welker)

I'm sure there are some kids around who might like this, but the original is far superior. I'm just glad it's coming out on DVD subtitled.

This is a awesome Anime but the dubbed version is total crap! I have seen the whole series in Japanese by downloading. When I heard that the series was FINALLY coming to where I live I was all hyped up about it. Until I realized how much they edited out! The dubbed voices are so incredibly lame, high-pitched and just plain ANNOYING the plot was terrible I wanted to kill someone! They did an awful job at dubbing this awesome show. Anyone who likes Anime but thinks this show sucks, should really try to get their on the Japanese version because it's WAYYYYY better.

Dubbed- 4/10

Real Japanese Version- 9/10

I'm a huge fan of CardCaptor Sakura (the manga) and when I was flipping through the channels and saw Yukito Tsukishiro (one of the most wonderful bishounen..), I thought "YAY!"...then I watched the rest of the episode and needed a box of kleenex.. It was just as bad as Sailor Moon.. (the new dubbed Sailor moon.. that's just...wrong). I just want to know how they could get "Julien Star" from "Yukito Tsukishiro" and "Tori" from "Touya"!? They changed way too much in this, from people's relationships in the series to names to bad voice dubbing to personalities.. *sigh* If they do this to Slayers like they say they will.. and change names in the series...and change the dub actors.. They'll answer to me..

I have been in love with Cardcaptors since it's premiere on KidsWB last year. While I have read nothing but negative comments about the american version in the past, for kids in the US, Cardcaptors is more than passable. It offers an intriguing storyline, excellent writing, more than passable acting, and good action adventure.

Those who are familiar with the original Japanese version, which is called "Cardcaptor Sakura", often slam the american verson, and it is probably not without merit, since many excellent anime series are often completely watered down and revamped when brought to the US. However, on it's own, Cardcaptors provides more than enough entertainment for all ages.

I admit I have not yet had the pleasure of seeing the original, which I recently ordered on video. But even so, the Americanised version provides me with great enjoyment, and was the first anime series I ever got into without prodding from my anime-fanatic fiancee.

3 out of 4 stars on my scale.

I hear people say they detest Cardcaptors every day and when I ask them if they have actually watched the show their answer was no. it was the exact same with pokemon and dragon ball z. just a couple of days ago I asked my best bud if he liked it and he said he loved it and he had only ever seen one episode. cardcaptors is simple the best and I dont care if you think Im crazy I LOVE CARDCAPTORS im quite simple a cardcaptor MANIAC.
