Sakura, chasseuse de cartes

I have watched all 70 episodes and both of the Card Captor Sakura Movies.

The entire uncut series has been released by Pioneer in subtitle only versions.

Warner Bros./Nelvana are together showing a chopped up version called Card Captors on the WB! Kids, which has been edited to make Sakura just another character because they wanted to target young boys and girls. Card Captors has started airing on the Cartoon Network. In my opinion if you want chopped up anime watch the dubbed episodes which are not only cut up, but out of order, and most episodes have been skipped. WB! is also about to air the third season so they can show more action in the series.

There are 70 episodes, Tomoyo's special episodes and a few mini movies, one of which was shown with the CCS Movie 2: The Sealed Card called Kero Chan's Big Adventure, which is also included on the DVD.

CCS in japan is a mahou shoujo anime by CLAMP(a well respected manga group), japanese for Magical Girl type anime, example...sailor moon. CCS has better animation and a better plot so watch out for it.

Cardcaptor Sakura is A romance/Magical Girl series originally created by Clamp(Chobits,Tsubasa:Reservoir Chronicle).

This is An Enjoyable Anime,With Good Animation, Likable characters and A decent plot. That said if you watch the English Dub then all the good points about The show will Disappear. I mean I've seen some terrible dubs but this could possibly be the worse. It's not a case where I always think the sub is better than the dub, Since I love a lot of Dubs (I.E., Rurouni Kenshin). The voice actors in the sub are Just right, They suit every single character.

Although There is a fair amount of predictability in the episode plotting, The stories are Fresh and entertaining. You may think it is aimed at girls but I think its good enough for both genders.

8/10

My life feels happy when i watch this. I Like all the characters in this anime. There is much depth added into this, so much detail and care was placed in it. I'd recommend it to all who haven't seen it. It is a great place to start an anime collection. The two movies for this is a hard way to let go, but you just have to see it. :) it does do better to you. If the series had been a little longer i think that would've even been better. there are other animes that run over 300 episodes. that's pretty crazy, but still pretty cool. interesting to watch everything change and to see how they manage with such small budgets. anyhow, this is a really good anime... i really love it.

I caught a few of the American versions on TV before watching the original series. I think everyone who has seen the original series that its superior to the US version. Sakura is very cute (although so is everyone else in the series). There is real character development as the story progresses (although slowly/gradually). The magic sequences are tremendous (especially when she takes out her keychain). This is a comments section so I won't go into the plot, suffice to say halfway through the series there is a huge turning point, full of mystery. Sakura's relationship with her family is very sweet, and sometimes moving, especially with her mother. I was cheering on Li Shaoran all the way (I'm chinese)

I was another CCS fan who was horribly irritated when the WB chopped and hacked the series into bits, but it's good to see it back in its original form. ^_^ Everyone has their original name, everything's uncut and the way it should be, not to mention, TOUYA AND YUKITO GOODNESS! The dub destroyed the relationship between Sakura's older brother and his "friend", and this uncut version of Card Captor Sakura finally gives their relationship the respect it deserves.

If you've only seen the dub, prepared to see some HUGE differences in dialogue and scenes. That's a good thing, though! You'll enjoy this version a lot more than the one you used to be subjected to.

And lia, yes you do have a problem with male/male relationships. If you didn't, you wouldn't think something's wrong with exposing children to it. It's called tolerance, or if you would, acceptance.

Do check out Card Captor Sakura! It's worth every cent! ^_^
