Summary: sub is better
Review: (from the anime crazed daughter) CardCaptors has been edited way too much! The episodes aren't in the right order, leaving the viewer confused. Each ep. has about 5 mins. of deleted scenes that aren't really bad. They tried to make Syaoran/Li the main charater to make it for guy and girls show. But you can't do that with out totally messing up the show. Not once did they say that Syaoran and Meiling/Mielin are from Hong Kong! NOT ONCE!!! They also cut out the the little crush that Sakura and Syoaran have on Yukito/Julian. In my opion I think that it's rather cute. The voice actors [are bad], they make 'em sound WAY too old. Yukito and Touya/Tori (man does Tori sound like a girls name) are supposed to be really, REALLY close friends (some say that they're more then that) and 99% of the time you don't see one without the other. In the dub they barly seem like friends. Then Kero-chan lost all of his cuteness, in the Japanese Kero-chan has a cute voice with a osaka ben (accent) not a New Yorkish one that makes him sound like he's 30.

Summary: Review for the "Uncut" version
Review: (What the?...why is Amazon.com mixing up the reviews with that Cardcaptors Dvd 'Power match' with the uncut(and very differnt) version of Cardcaptor sakura. Yes, they both are Cardcaptor sakura but ones the 'Uncut version' and the highly edited 'Dub' and they both contain totally differnt episodes. Get it right Amazon!)

This is my review for the uncut version.(Five stars)
This contains episodes 5-9 of 'Cardcaptor Sakura'
In these episodes she captures 'Jump card', 'Illisuon card', 'Silent card', and the 'Thunder card'
All the episodes on here are wonderful! My favorite is the Silent card episode, its funny when they are trying to be as quiet as they can, but they keep going back outside due to the Silent card. I also love on how she captues it in the end!

It would be easier to be able to get my hands on all of the Cardcaptor Sakura DVDs if they where cheaper in price ($30 avrage price(everywere) for each DVD with only 4 uncut episodes? That outrageous! I can't afford that!)
Even though the price is rediculous, its well worth it when you get it!

Heres a review for 'Cardcaptors: Power match' (Two stars)
This is the version that has been drasicly edited for kids. This must be the most edited Anime in the US(even more edited than 'Sailor moon', and thats pretty bad...)
But they did such a wonderful job at changeing it into something new! Now Tomido(Madison) is one of the ignoed charaters(in Japan they had a doll and one of the main charaters other than Sakura) as Meling(Melin) is now one of the Cardcaptors (SHE WAS NEVER A CARDCAPTOR IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!)
They totally changed everything(even the music/personaitys/episodes....)
I bet if you take out the 'today on Cardcaptors', all of the flashbacks, commercals, and 'the card we reveal today' you will have only 10 to 14 minutes of actual fotage of the real episode that has been dubbed(depending on how many flashback there is in an episode)

Thats why I gave it two stars.

Summary: Definition of perfection
Review: Card Captor Sakura is one of the most beautifully drawn anime ever to grace Japan. As soon as I heard about it's debut in America, I thought 'finally!'. And then the big disappointment. I don't know what Nelvana did to the lovely anime and I'm pretty sure I don't want to know of the horror, but when WB introduced me to the brand new show by the name of "Cardcaptors", I was completely shocked. The terribly sung theme song, the voices that were far from coming close to being like the original, and the totally confusing story line was just impossible to watch. To see the original, un-cut CCS is like watching a whole different anime. A beautiful, cute, one-of-a-kind anime. I promise you, you won't be disappointed with this video tape. And once you see the true version of CCS, you'll never even glance once at the dubbed one. So, if you're a "Cardcaptors" fan, please buy this wonderful tape so you can see what wonderfulness you're missing out on. Trust me, it's worth it. It really, truely is.

Summary: The best anime ever!
Review: Card Captors is the best anime ever made! I own Jubei Chan, El Hazard and this, but this is my favorite one! I highly recomend a purchase.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another delightful volume!
Review: Cardcaptor Sakura continues to be perhaps the most charming show I have ever seen in this volume. The characters are explored more (the development is very well done, particularly in episode 6), the plot thickens with the arrival of Shaolan, the humor is very cute, and the animation, acting and music all continue to be top notch. This is far, far better than any of that "Cardcaptors" junk you'll see on TV. All in all, this is a great volume.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: NOT FOR KIDS
Review: Cardcaptor sakura is definatly not for kids there some homosexuality between toya and yukito. BUT there is a a better dubbed version o f it called cardcaptors

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SUPER FANTASIC
Review: Cardcaptors have really outdone themselves. Even though some episodes are missing, its still superior to the japanese version carcaptor sakura.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Continue as you've started.
Review: EVERLASTING MEMORIES is the second DVD in the series Cardcaptor Sakura and picks up right where the first one left off. Sakura is just as cute as ever and the Cards are still up to their usual mischief - it's time for the Cardcaptor to show that she means business!

From unruly cards taking over stuffed animals (and making things very difficult for one very nice shop owner) to a card that hijacked a painting (and doesn't like noise), Sakura's got her work cut out for her in this DVD. Sometimes the challenges seem a little too big - is that a card or the ghost of Sakura's mother? And if it's Sakura's mother, why does she keep leading her daughter into danger? What is Sakura going to do about this rival of hers, Li Shaolan?

No fear though, as Sakura is just as bright and cheerful as ever! Her solutions will leave you smiling - and sometimes crying - as she goes about doing things in a way that's distinctly Sakura. With the introduction of Li, things become slightly more complicated - but it also offers a wonderful insight into the relationships surrounding the characters, especially Touya and Sakura's and Li and Yukito's.

These DVDs leave you thinking that there is no way the next one could top it - and yet, you find yourself quite happily surprised. A show that leaves you smiling is always worth the money you pay for it.

Summary: Just giving an opinion
Review: First of all, all anime fans should delve into the world of Card Captor Sakura. It's an absolutely brilliant series filled with cute, charismatic characters who immerse you into this surreal world of magic with a touch of realism (in terms of the settings, of course). Put it simply, it's great for any anime fan-especially the shoujo anime-phile (like me).
These four episodes continue the embryonic stage of the series and introduce a new character-Li Syaoran-in the process. He poses a greater challenge to Sakura, but remains a dark cloud in Sakura's ambiguities. It's just the beginning of something much, much more.
But, with all the praise I'm giving this series, the way Pioneer releases the DVD irks me. Pioneer adds little to take advantage of the technology. For this DVD, they only added a non-credit ending of "Groovy" as a "bonus feature." And in the same section, you select the subtitles (wow, having the option of having the subtitles on or off is a grreeat bonus). It just doesn't give you much incentive to buy the DVD and fork out an extra 5-10 dollars. But then again,we don't buy DVD's for the bells and whistles (at least I hope so): We buy them for the movie (ooo, innovative concept). It's just that I'm the kind of guy that wants a little more on the pricier plate. But, I'm such a DVD-phile, it's doesn't really matter. I'm only pointing it out because these DVD's have so much potential to elevate it's status even higher. I'm disappointed with that only.
Well, if I had to pick between a VHS or DVD version, I would pick the DVD version without hesitating. However, it's basically the same whichever media format you choose. Just don't expect much with the DVD version.
