Summary: It was good =)
Review: Okay I personally thought the movie was great! I like the charactors and the plotlines! I never miss it when its on the WB! Okay but about that one review that said this is horrible and that Card Captor Sakura is muuuuch better. Well thats all high and dandy that you had the OPPORTUNITY to watch the original versions, but for many people the dub is all there is! And I mean, the artwork is still very beautiful, and the plotline is still followable! Aaaand if you haven't figured out why Madison follows Sakura around with a camera then you obviously dooon't watch the show (which is understandable seeing as you hate it) and so I mean, just cause you don't watch it you are making false accusations at it. And plus, if you had seen ANY episodes, you would know that Sakura is STILL the main charactor, not Li. Okay? Hmm...anyway, I recomend this movie, it was very nice =)

Summary: Tests of Courage???
Review: CardCardcaptors otherwise known as Cardcaptor Sakura in Japan has been totally hacked up for TV.

I know that many people have said that the Cardcaptor's on WB and Teletoon are hacked up, but that's true! This VHS comes with the first episodes that are shown on Kids WB! The begining is confusing since they start off with the 8th episode. Throughout the show they have to show "flashbacks" because the episode skip according to what they think is a good order. Also, how many times on TV have you seen these episodes? Maybe about 5 now, or more. They show repeats of the same episodes over and over again! The dialect has been totally "modernized" to sound "hip" and "cool." Okay . . . and Nelvana makes totally stupid cuts too! *What's wrong with Japan??? Tokyo Tower??* (some of the cuts that aren't appropriate for TV is understandable, but then Nelvana cuts out even more for time, anything japanese looking or sounding,) Something American viewers should think about . . . . Where is Li from? (answered in Cardcaptor Sakura) Nelvana's reason for not calling it Cardcaptor Sakura . . . They wanted it to appeal to both genders. (Does it matter? If a show is good, a show is good)

Although I have said all this bad stuff about Cardcaptors, there is one good thing about it. Some younger kids may not be ready from some of the types of relationships in the regular Cardcaptor Sakura. But for the majority of people, as long as you can read, get the original Cardcaptor Sakura! It's much better and you can see what your missing!

Summary: Cardcaptors gets more bad reviews for the good of the people
Review: Being a huge Card Captor Sakura fan, I was amazed that they decided to bring the show to broadcast television. But when I saw the product of editing and terrible dubbing, and realized that it was *no longer* Card Captor Sakura, I was hopelessly disapointed :( The truth is that they did a HORRIBLE job bringing this wonderful anime to America. The plot holes, inconsistencies and confusion are the result of terrible editing. The only reason I decided to write this review, is simply because, the more bad reviews this DVD gets, the less people will buy it. I don't want people to think less of a wonderful anime because someone ruined it. If you are interested in this anime, PLEASE buy the undedited subbed version instead, because it's literally hundreds of times better!

Summary: Isn't there a zero stars rating???
Review: I still can't understand what's the big idea of buying "this" if you have the uncut versiĆ³n. this is not a TV show, this is trash, Nelvana really disgraced a great anime series. I don't know where to begin. The character names, the name of the town (Clow has nothing to do with that town), the relationship between Shyaoran and meilin, the order of the episodes. Even the the part where you can learn something.... IT IS ALL CUT OUT. if you want to see a girl and a boy getting cards....

No, don't buy it, buy cardcaptor sakura instead, even if all you want to see i a girl catching cards, duy cardcaptor sakura, there are even mor cards (since it has every episode)...

Summary: This is not series we adore
Review: Card Captors revolves around a boy named Li Showron who must seal the magic Clow Cards before they destroy the world. He must also put up with a non-emotional twit named Sakura who *always* gets in the way when capturing cards, especially with her ditzy friend Madison, who follows her around with a camcorder all day for no apparent reason. However, the original version of this dislikable dub, Card Captor Sakura, is not like that at all. Card Captor Sakura was tremendously changed when it was dubbed into Card Captors. Personalities, episodes, and plotlines were either completely altered or deleted. The voices were not given much consideration when cast, the scripts were re-written and are now very unoriginal and annoying, and episodes were cut up and actually spliced with other episodes to avoid plotlines that were deleted. In addition, Sakura was the main character and actually had emotions. I love Card Captor Sakura and it literally hurts when I watch Card Captors.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: First rate!
Review: Cardcaptors volume 1: Tests of Courage is anime at its finest! This video has the episodes Sakura's Rival, Time and Again, and The Cave, as seen on KidsWB. The animation in this series is really beautiful; every frame is a work of art. The story is good, and most of all the characters are wonderful, particularly the main character, Sakura Avalon. I love this video and highly recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Don't waste your money...
Review: This is nothing but a butchering of Cardcaptor Sakura. Where CCS excels, Cardcaptors flops completely - the plot is hardly explained (and completely out of order), the characters are changed from being interesting and lovable to being stuck up and impossible to relate to, the appropriate music has been replaced with stuff my little sister could play on a Casio.... There is very little value in this show, especially since it also teaches that a show is not worth anything unless the main female character is dumbed down and a male character played up to be the main character instead. This sets a bad example for all. If you want something worth your time and money, you should check out the unedited version. It's an entirely different show, and it's wonderful.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A complete disgrace
Review: This video is not worth the tape it is printed on. It bears little resemblance to the far superior show it was taken from, Cardcaptor Sakura (which I would highly recommend!), aside from the animation and such. The dialog is very poorly written, the voices were ill-cast for many characters (Kero stands out as being particularly horrible), the story was changed, the characters suddenly all act very stuck-up... I can't think of a single good thing to say about this except that the animation is quite nice. Whatever you do, don't get this poor imitation - get the *real* Cardcaptor Sakura, which is uncut and unedited, the way the show was meant to be seen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best cartoons!
Review: I believe this is a really good cartoon. I have watched the cartoon at WB kids. I never seen the japanese version because THANKS to God, I do have better things to do than being watching cartoons all day long and then come over here to complaint about how bad are the translations. The English version is good, and if the japanese version is better, I sincerely do not care. I have too little time like to be trying to get some japanese version that who knows who is selling, at what price??!! and to be reading every single line that comes out in the cartoon. If you have the time for that and the MONEY, go for it, but if you don't, I really do NOT belive it's important to know who likes who in the Cartoon. The important thing is how Sakura captures the cards, Not if Sakura loves I don't who, or if whoever whats Sakura's brothers, etc. So, in less words, Cardcaptors, the English version is really, really, good! A+

Summary: A Total Dubbed Discgrace to it's Creators
Review: Don't buy this. No really, don't buy this. Buy the unedited edition if you liked the show. Can we say "HACK JOB"? The TV edition is 100% EDITED and WRONG. How edited? This isn't edited like Sailor Moon was, this is edited like THE WHOLE FIRST SEVEN EPISODES OF THE SHOW ARE GONE edited. There's a reason it's hard to follow, it starts in the middle, and huge scenes are cut, dialogue is cut out, and they give the characters the most ridiculous English names. Li Shaoran is *not* Sakura's partener, he's simply a supporting character that they [Nelvana] decided to *upgrade* to make the show more interesting to boys (since it was an all the way girl's show in Japan). But guess what? When you try to turn a show upside down in dubbing and editing, you just get a crap job that nobody wants to watch, not even the big fans. Buy the UNEDITED version, and find out what the first seven episodes were about, and where all the characters are supposed to stand in the big picture. Don't waste your money, the unedited versions cost no more.
