Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

One of the principal sources of this series' considerable charm is the way the filmmakers show Sakura learning from her experiences and growing. Although she's badly frightened by the disappearances that the Erase Card causes at her summer school, she summons the necessary courage to defeat it, with some help from Shaoran. Things go smoothly for Sakura for the rest of the summer--even her older brother Toya is as nice as his nature allows--until Shaoran's loudmouth cousin (and self-declared fiancée) Meilin arrives. When Meilin tries to capture the powerful Fight Card, Sakura draws on her earlier experiences to overcome Fight and rescue Meilin--a challenge the more timid Sakura of the first episodes wouldn't have been able to face. The irrepressible Kerberos and tall-tale-spinning Yamazaki provide the comedy to balance these adventures. Rated 13 Up, but appropriate for children three to four years younger; minor cartoon violence. --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars And then came Meilin..., September 18, 2001

Well, it was sort of a long wait, but this disc was DEFINITELY worth it! For now we know what really happened when Meilin arrived!

For this disc's first offering, an episode that made the dub - the capturing of the Erase card while the kids are at Outdoor Studies(read: Summer Camp). There's a small scene at the front with Kero complaining about the heat in Sakura's room, but otherwise what we see in the dub was basically what happened in the Japanese. (Remember: Some dialogue changes are unavoidable due to that amzing thing called LIP MOVEMENT!!)

Second up, the gang's off to a small street fair/festival, in kimonos!! (Except Li, the kimonos I mean.) The capture of the Glow card is secondary to the fun of Li and Toya having a Ring Booth battle to get a bunny for Sakura(and..Yukito).

Third on the agenda, the capture of the Move card, which jumps into a book that both Sakura AND Li need for a book report, leading them on a merry game of "Catch Me If You Can!" At the end of the episode Meilin makes her hysterical entrance, arriving at Li and Wei(the guy who's looking after him while he's here, and now Meilin as well[that's right, the rest of their families stayed in Hong Kong, as apposed to the commentary of Meilin's father being transferred in the dub!])'s apartment. The timing is especially interesting as Sakura and Tomoyo are present when she arrives(you'll have to watch to find out why.), and she is not at all pleased to find two other girls in Li's home! Especially when one is wearing...well, like I said, buy it and find out for yourself.

For our final offering, another ep. that made the dub, the capture of the Fight card. The Japanese version is way worth it, as we have a scene deleted from the dub wherein Sakura recalls how Meilin "asked" her and Tomoyo to leave her and Li's apartment after the end of the previous episode. And let's get one thing clear here: Meilin and Li are cousins, and (as I understand it from other sources, subject to change with later discs) Meilin is Li's fiancee by parental arrangement! She even states this rather emphatically to Sakura in this episode when she's introduced to the class!

I laughed til I died, then was resucitated and laughed some more! Let the next one come!

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome series, June 11, 2001

This review is from: Cardcaptor Sakura - Vacation Daze (Vol. 5) (DVD)

I know a lot of people are mentioning that Vol. 4 is coming out later than Vol. 5. I've seen the entire subtitled series and the first movie. Let me tell you it is definitely worth the wait. This is such a cute series and it is my favorite anime series. If you really can't wait, there are lots of places where you can buy fan-subbed dvd's, anime that was subtitled by fans therefore being of a lesser quality. The first movie, which is also available fan-subbed, is between the first and second seasons. It's an awesome movie and I highly recommend it. Whatever you do, DON'T buy the dubbed version. It's very irritating and the 10 year-olds sound like high-schoolers. Don't mind the mix-up. Unless you really can't wait, be patient and enjoy what you have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Explanation for this release, May 23, 2001

This review is from: Cardcaptor Sakura - Vacation Daze (Vol. 5) (DVD)

What happened was there was some diagreement with the licensor, something about the subtitled releases being too close to the dubbed episodes seen on TV, so they deemed the subtitled versions to be a disincentive for consumers who bought dubbed, but then turned to subtitled -or- subtitled sales is draining sales of the dubbed dvds. So this was their solution, to stagger the release of the fourth volume until the episodes in that subtitled volume is shown on TV.
