Summary: How it all began...
Review: Now, don't get me wrong. I think the dub of Cardcaptors is pretty good in it's own right - the voices are fabulous and work really well with the characters, which is an absolute must for any dub! My gripe is the release order! How can you just jump episodes like that! (Actually, I have a similar gripe with what DiC did with Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon R - don't even get me started on "Day of Destiny"!)

Therefor I made it my buisiness to grab this DVD! The first episode has how it all began, with Kero-Chan's snoring grabbing the attention of young Sakura, leading her to the "Clow Book", which she manages to open, and no sooner does she read the name of the first card, "Windy", do the rest of the cards zip away! A moment later Keroberos arises from the book, and explains who and what he is to Sakura, only then noticing the cards are gone("Well, I read the name, Windy, and there was a big gust of wind, and they all flew away." "Oooh. WHAAAAT!!!!"). Sakura must now be the Cardcaptor, and clean up her little mess. This leads to to the capture of the Fly card.

In episode two, Sakura must catch the Shadow card at her school, and deal with the fact that her best friend Tomoyo(Madison in the Dub) caught her first flight on Fly on film! Tomoyo is actually quite undisturbed by the concept of her friend being a Cardcaptor, going so far as to ask, "Do you have a trademark pose yet?"

In the third episode Sakura gets to go on a "date" with her long time crush Yukito(Juilian in the Dub), but gets disturbed by the machinations of the Watery card! Sakura has to put all her brains to the test when Kero strongly states that the cards she has so far will be useless against this elemental spirit!

To finish the disc, Sakura faces the ultimate horror - SUNDAY CHORES!! During which she finds that two of the cards, the Wood and the Rain, never actually left the house! Unfortunately, Rain wakes up and decides to play with Wood, and...

So for the serious and horribly addicted Anime junky, do not miss this DVD! It's a hoot and shows how one of the most unique "Magical Girls" got started, and why! Kudos!

Summary: Whay are they 10!
Review: The only problem I had with this entire series was the fact the the main characters are only 10 years old. It`s ridiculous to make 14 year children pilot those Gundam Suit thingys so what makes it logical for 10 year children to save the world. Beside this little nitpick the show is great (great animation, ect.) with irresistable charaters and a light atmosphere (though later on there are some dark episodes). Overall a great series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kawaii
Review: I have never seen its dubbed version before, but after seeing the origanal version of Cardcaptor Sakura (and after noticing that other people seem insulted by the dubbed version), I won't settle for anything else. I love this anime; it is very kawaii (meaning "cute" for those of you who can't understand Japanese). The story is about a 10-year-old girl named Sakura who ends up scattering these magical items called Clow Cards. After the cards gardian wakes up to find out that the cards are gone, he assigns Sakura with the job of recollecting these cards before a great catastrophe occurs. Lots of cute things happen in this anime, hence the reason why this review is called "kawaii". I love the cutness of this series, and it has a delightful sense of humor. I definetly recommend this anime to anyone who loves anime.

Summary: Sukura Cute and Wild
Review: I was a Little Supeuise When i first turned on the T.V. to find that im watching CC (Card Captors) At first i was Not interested because i figured it was like Sailer moon but I soon found out it wasn't.Sukura is a Cute 4th grader with a Big task ahead and her Friend Madasin (Sorry for the spelling errors) Is also a Cute Rich Girl.

I was Disapointed when i found out that the first Ep. i watched was Ep. 8 NOT 1 on WB it made me mad so I looked around for a Tape or DVD And well i found this one I just ordered Volume one so im hoping its better than the WB virsion but form what i herd it is WAY BETTER.

Im also Disapointed to hear a few changes in the WB Virsion I mean why did they change why didn't they just keep it the same I was So Disapointed that like i sead i went Looking for a Tape or DVD.

I am a little Confused Tho is this DVD in English or Japaness? Becuase well i Sorta under stand the Japaness Languge Sense a friend of mine specks that Languge but is this in English if not is there a english Virsion NOT VHS.

I would Suggest Card Captors to anyone who is getting tired of seeing all these Cussing,Violence,Bloody,And insulting Cartoon's. Card Captors has a Cute Girl and her Cute Friend (I think im in Love with Sakura TO bad she isn't real)Along with her Rival Li and Malien. Li is a Cool kid and Malien is another Cute Girl ok im going ot far with the Cute Word But hay I took Exthreme Interest in this show so now i watch it everytime it come's on (By the Way im 16 and a Freahsmen in High school Hmm) I like Shows that have Magic,Sorcerie,and Swords (Back in time) Besides i Recommand this to Anyone SO BUY IT!!!!!!! NOT VHS BUT DVD BUT IT!!!!!

You will NOT be Disapointed Trust me!!!

(If some of the things i sead you can't understand then Sorry but I was Excited at the time so i make alot of Mistakes)

Summary: Don't you just hate it ...
Review: ... when a great anime is butchered for the U.S. version? This uncut Japanese version fills in some important details omitted from the adulterated American show, especially concerning Tomoyo (Madison,) such as how she found out about the Clow cards.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Completely, utterly adorable...
Review: Wow. To start off, I'll say that when I first say CardCaptors (english-dubbed) on Kids WB, I loved it. Everyone and everything was so magicial, cute, and well-drawn (thanks to the all-holy skills of CLAMP)! But I was feeling a bit leftout (did you know that Kids WB's CardCaptors started at episode -8- of CardCaptor Sakura? Nothing goes in order at all, in their version!) so I bought the Japanese subtitled version. Oh. My. God. If, on a scale of 1 to 10, I liked CardCaptors at a 1 before that moment, I was automatically moved up to a 10. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ANIMES YOU -MUST- SEE IN IT'S ORIGINAL FORM. It is truly awing. The voices are just heavenly, the music is beautiful... And the DVD quality makes CLAMP's artwork sharper and more lovely. To put it shortly, no one should NOT see these episodes. I don't care if you're a guy or you can read subtitles. You'll find something to like.

Summary: CLAMP = god
Review: Eh, yeah...Cardcaptor Sakura can be summed up in one word all otaku can understand fully....KAWAII!!! I rented the tape from my local anime store (as I read the manga and have seen the horrible US version), and I fell in love. The animation is great and the dialogue is original. CLAMP's characters are easy to fall in love with (especially Kero-chan!), and the storyline is too. And, of course, CCS has all the love-triangles you'd expect from CLAMP. I find myself watching this tape over and over again. This series, unlike many, makes you want to watch more episodes, new or old to you.

Oh, and if you enjoy quality entertainment, DO NOT get the American version. I turned it on today, and the episode "Sakura's Heart-Racing First Date" was on (not the English title, obviously), and after watching the uncut, I was horrified. The English company put in scenes FROM OTHER EPISODES. It made absolutely no sense at all. Kero-chan isn't helping Sakura out, Sakura reads the cards like the Tarot to find out which three would be her best bet in capturing The Watery (yet she really only has three), Sakura doesn't have a date with Yuki to go to the aquarium, yet she just meets him out front and they go get ice cream. Oh, and when they're in the restraunt and telling Touya-san what they want, "Julian" says they'll have two chocolate sundaes and two lemonaids, not that he'll have a strawberry-milk snow cone. Touya asks him if he wants the extra-large, not if Sakura would be able to eat the rest......

Ah, many more differences, I just don't want to bore people to death. In closing, GET THIS SERIES!!! AHHHHH!!!

Summary: Clow It On! CLAMPS best anime!
Review: For Sakura Kinmoto, a fourth grader is exciting. Mostly when Sakura finds herself listening to the thumps in her house after cheerleading practice! When Sakura goes down to her basement and finds "The Clow Book" she ends up as a Card Captor? Yes, a cardcaptor. Capturing cards is hard for young Sakura..what new rivals will come through the world of CardCaptor Sakura? Volume 1 is great! I really like the dubbed CCS but I also just like CCS. Get this dvd if you want to know the history behind CardCaptors! CCS is perfect for anyone between the ages of 8-15! Love,comedy,twins, and fantasy ad CardCaptor Sakura exciting!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Top notch!!!
Review: I was just introduced to this cartoon two days ago, and it is EXCELLENT!! If you like cute anime, you will definitely like this! The characters and plots are substantial enough to get you lost in the story, and becoming more forward thinking. At the same time, Sakura's day to day routine leaves you laughing, and smiling as you can connect to the similar feelings of growing up!! I liked it so much, that I had to go back to purchase vol. 2! The noises and voices are wonderful when experienced in the Japanese! I even bought copies for my best friend and mother!! (I'm 23, by the way!! ; ) ~enjoy!!!
