They Sell Uncut DVDs, Why Bash This One?, June 12, 2001
This review is from: Cardcaptors: V.3 Misdirections (ep. 7-9) (DVD)
Many people have bashed this disc because it's the TV version and the plot strays from the original. It's true, this is not the same as the uncut format. However, they sell the uncut version of Cardcaptors on DVD seperatley. This is completely seperate. It should be noted that they had to make two seperate sets of discs only because this version of Cardcaptors is edited.
Cardcaptors is the US Version of CardCaptor Sakura, as seen on Kids WB and now Cartoon Network (for a short time). This version is in English, while the uncut DVDs are Japanese with subtitles. I bought both versions because I like to see the original, and I liked the version on TV. The dubbing is done by The Ocean Group (Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star, Big O, Saber J Marionettes) and is done very well. Some voices you might recognize are Madison (the same as Lime from Saber J and Meifon from Angel Links) and Sakura's Brother (the same as Zechs from Gundam Wing). I also think that one of the voices of Melfina from Outlaw Star is in here as Li's girlfriend (staring in Episode 6) but I can't be certain on that. Personally I like anime dubbed and Cardcaptors is a refreshing break from ... dubs done for other series (see Escaflowne).
So if you like Anime and want to see the original, THIS IS NOT THE DISC FOR YOU. However if you saw Cardcaptors on TV and liked what you saw, I would recommend this disc. Either version, on its own, is fine for anyone of any age, however smaller children would most definetley appreciate the characters speaking in a language they can understand.
Do not be swayed by anime purists who say this version is horrible, judge for yourself.

don't follow the dub!, August 24, 2001
This show was once a wonderful thing. It was funny, magical, and the age group didn't matter! But when this show became dubbed, the wonderful world of Cardcaptor Sakura changed. A little crush had to be completly changed, a cute couple were suddntly "cousins", and love became fear. The great parts of this anime were changed! Then on to name changes: Sure, Sakura's name was still the same, but now it was pronounced Sa-coora, or Sa-kera. Then Tomoyo="Madison", Touya= "Tori", Yukito= "Julian" and there are so many other name changes that i couldn't end this.The dubb made so many pointless changes. Even the setting of the story! This dubb is terreble...whenever a good anime is dubbed, it gets a bad reputation and no one thinks about how the dubb is messed up. Why does the name "Cardcaptor Sakura" have to be changed to "Card Captors"? She is the main character, anyway. The dubb doesn't even show all the episodes and just cuts one up to have a huge flashback--they are really just making more work for themselves. Stop the dubb!
