Summary: Fun for... most ages
Review: "Cardcaptor Sakura" is a wonderful, lighthearted magical girl anime, a series originally made for very young girls, but one that appeals to fans both young and old. I myself introduced my nine-year-old cousin to the series (I refuse to let her watch the WB's "Cardcaptors"), and she has become a devoted fan. More than just a silly cartoon about capturing cards, CCS has endearing characters of all ages, drama, humor, romance and some heartbreak- more towards the second season, when the series becomes less episodic and more dramatic. While appropriate for children of elementary school age, older shoujo anime fans will find "Cardcaptor Sakura" just as entertaining.

Summary: Great but where's the dub
Review: Wow! This DVD is one of the greatest I've seen so far. Cardcaptor Sakura is a magnificent series and I'm grateful that Pioneer release the uncut version on DVD. If there was one complaint I had, it's the language. Typically I don't mind the subtitled versions but some anime fans may hate me for this but I personally like dubbing. I mean I just prefer that the characters just speak in English. I don't make a big deal with the voices or the dialogue. I only hope that Pioneer will release a "Uncut Dub" version on DVD because personally when viewing anime, dub is the way to go for me.

Summary: CCS: The first volume
Review: This is a great anime... don't think oh, it's that weird anime on WB. It's nothing like that. "Cardcaptors" is the mangled, cut up, mutated version of this very, very good anime. OK, let's get down to the details. Basically, it's about a 10-year old girl named Sakura Kinomoto, who released 52 "Clow Cards" and has to capture them all with Keroberos, guardian of the Seal. The extras on the DVD aren't great, but when you think about it, it is the best they could do. There is the option of turning the subtitles on or off, you can see the opening song "Catch You Catch Me" without credits, a small biography of Sakura, the WB opening (Stupid), and DVD credits. There is no English version on this DVD because it is so cut up and messed up that there's no way these four episodes are even IN English. All in all, a great DVD, and a unique anime. Enjoy!

Summary: A Brain Pleaser for everyone!!!
Review: Okay...you probably all know by now what the series is about. If you are new to purchasing it you probably just want to know if it's any good, well....it is. I love Sailor Moon and I kind of wanted to get into something else that was similar to it which was cardcaptors. Well I bought the first two DVD's and I loved it, so did my husband(which says a lot because he usually doesn't like anime) RIght now the series is more comidic than serious, but it's cute. I love Kero, and even though this DVD doesn't come in English dubbing it was still worth it, in fact I think it was better, you just have to get used to watching the subtitles and watching the picture at the same time, but it's not too bad. So if this review hasn't won you over then I doubt the rest of the 90+ reviews will!!!! Hope this helps!!!

Summary: Finally it's Cardcaptor Sakura and not Card Captors
Review: First off I would like to say that Nelvana really did a poor job in handling the series. Even though I was first introduced to this anime by the English dub, I immediately checked out the anime in its original version to compare the difference. Much to my surprise, Nelvana mixed the episodes all around and made 2 main characters instead of 1. The reason I think that they did it because it was showing on the WB where little kids watch Saturday morning cartoons, and some of the episodes had not so kiddish topic like same sex attraction, but that was resolved later on in the series. Ok now for the review on the DVD. Pioneer did an excelent job bring the series to the States in it's original form. Although the extras didn't have much except the Japanese intro and the English intro. The DVD has the first 4 episodes on it and during each other intro, they show the romanized of japanese characters in the subtitles and the other intros they had the translation. Episodes were clear and sound was crisp. I would recommend this for anyone who's a fan to the series, and would like to see it in it's purest form.

Summary: Never hear Kero say "I sense a clow card Lei!"
Review: As a hardcore anime fan, my Fiance bought this DVD on a whim, knowing I revel in highly kawai girly pop animation. I had heard of this title, and even placed an interest in the WB program that was getting ready to air by the name of "Cardcaptors". I was frankly dissapointed when he pulled it out of the package in his gift offering. I had unfortunately seen the horribly mutilated american translation, and despite knowing that most anime is butchered when released statewide, I never realized how badly they could ever mame anything as sacred as this show has become to me. Clamp's animators weave the most beautiful story of a little girl who has the typical hopes and dreams of every little girl. Why, in gods name, Nelvana believes the American public cannot accept a female heroine is beyond me. Because this anime hits you where suprisingly few girls anime hits you, in the dead center of your heart. I won't get started on Kero. I steadfast Mokona of Rayearth fan, I had to bump the little marshmallow puff for the bearcub eared Kero and his famous Osaka accent! But in a final statement, anyone with even a glimmer of an interest in anime. Anyone who watches Toonami, or even the WB, and felt a little bit cheated by the American "toons" of today, please do yourself a favor and try this series out. It will open up a whole new world for you.

Summary: Is this the same series?
Review: I will admit that I liked the WB CARDCAPTORS and was a bit bummed that they seem to have stopped showing the new episodes. But when I got a hold of this DVD I felt extremely cheated as I realized how far superior the subbed version was to the dubbed I mean it was like comparing vanilla ice cream to spumoni...(Bettter music, the plot was more coherant, and of course the missing episodes.) I would have to definitly say get a hold of the Cardcaptor Sakura DVD's and steer clear of CARDCAPTORS......

Summary: WB totaly jiffed themself
Review: Kids WB totaly jiffed themself Editing this Great Anime in to a just anouther show. I first saw the Wb Virson and I must say I liked it. But when I got a hold of this Organal I Loved it !0 times more than the WB one. These first four episdes Are Great and I Can't see WHy Kids Wb Didn't Start it Out this way. Anouther thing is the Voices for this virson are a whole Lot better and Fit the Characters to a T. Kero Sounds More softer and Happyer than That New your kind of Voice that WB gave him. Trust Me WHne You see this You'll Think "Is this the Some Show that On WB."
Yeap, Kids WB Sure Jiffed themselfs Ruining this anime. To think if they had just Done as good of a job with Card Captor Sakura than they did with Pokemon then they would have had anouther Surefire hit On their Hand. Just go's to show there are only two type of Distions at Kids WB. Really Really Smeart Ones (Let Pick up this cool Anime Card Captor Sakura) and Really Really Bad ones ( But We'll have to Cut a lot of Epicodes and Make it more for Boys.)

Summary: Get The Best Of The Clow
Review: For Cardcaptors fans out there: Please buy this DVD. You will see the untampered, uncut version that is so much better than the "kid suitable" episodes they air on Kids WB. Luckily, the episodes on this DVD weren't butchered up and thrown together into a worthless DVD. This is full of great stuff. The first CCS episodes are by far, the best. You get to see some of the cutest faces on display that are usually drawn in the CLAMP manga. Kinomoto Sakura (pronounced Sah-ku-ra) is a normal grade 4 student with a meanie older brother (Kinomoto Touya) and a caring father (Kinomoto Fujitaka-san). Her mother (Kinomoto Nadeshiko) passed away when Sakura was 3 years old. One day, Sakura opens a book called the Clow (pronounced like "clover") and accidentally unleashes the Clow cards. A little creature named Kerberos pops out. Surprised that the cards are gone (well, he was supposed to guard them, but fell asleep for 30 years), he tells Sakura she must become the "Cardcaptor" and find them. Amongst some of the cards highlighted are WINDY, WATERY, WOOD, and (gomen!) I forgot the other ones. Luckily, she's got her best friend (Daidouji Tomoyo) for support. Syaoran Li isn't introduced into these episodes yet, but you won't be disappointed. The extras are slim, but they are worth a look. There's the subtitles option (built especially for non Japanese speakers), a non credit opening of "Catch You, Catch Me", the disappointing opening to "Cardcaptors," and a Character Intro. Hope you enjoy the DVD!
