CardCaptors

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.

Back when this premiered on the WB, I loved it. I became obsessed, but then again, I was 9 or 10. About a year ago, I was web surfing and I came across something called "Card Captor Sakura". I had long forgotten about the dubbed version, but then it all came back to me. Now, Card Captor Sakura, for those of you who don't know, is the subdubbed version of "CardCaptors". I read about it and realized how horrible the dub really was. I mean, in some elements, it was ok, but the voice acting and the censoring is HORRIBLE! I mean, they cut out total story lines (like Li's crush on Julian or w/e his name is in the dub)and totally buchered the last 2 episodes (obviously they couldn't show us or even MENTION the word "love") and never even released the second movie (again for obvious reasons)! I agree with the comment above. Sailor Moon was BAD, Pokemon was even WORSE, and this....is just horrible!

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.

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 like Cardcaptors, i'm not going to justify that further than I like animation and I like magic and this programme fitted the bill. Having not known that there was a different version of the progamme out there i'm amazed at what I read about it. I don't see what's wrong with the original Japanese version that they couldn't view it in England. It's not as if kids don't know what's going on. People are more open minded nowadays and if parents don't like their kids watching it, change the channel. I have never actually seen any of the original episodes but I think now I will seek them out just to see the differences. I think that they should been seen as seperate programmes. Card Captor Sakura is obviously different from CardCaptors that they should have there own identities, be seen as seperate entities then maybe they can be appreciated as such.
