Summary: Cardcaptors unmasked!
Review: Finally! The ACTUAL show! Not some stupid immitation. I'm glad that those who haven't seen the original are enjoying it, though. But, now, they can see the real thing! This story is excellent, and I highly suggest it for those who enjoy shojo (girl's) anime. I also suggest that those who have only seen the dub view it as well. Save yourselves. If you don't know much about typical anime, however, be prepared for a few surprises.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sakura is here
Review: Well, I'm sure there are a gazillion reviews telling you how bad the CCS dub on Kid's WB is, but I actually think it is okay.

However, it is recommended that the subtitled version be bought since Kids' WB is showing the episodes out of order, and it is painfully obvious to even the casual viewer. If a rep from Kids' WB manages to come across this review, I strongly suggest to them that they reassemble the episodes in the proper order, as it has no sense of rhythm to any viewer, which also may contribute to the lack of faith kids have in Kids' WB.

So, why get the sub again? Well, the dub DVD and VHS release follows the order of Kids' WB's airing, apparently. So you'll get characters who use a certain power early on only to be introduced to it episodes later...

Summary: Cardcaptor Sakura
Review: Cardcaptor Sakura is the best anime,than Pokemon itself! I like subtitles better than dubbed videos,so I think this will be the best. The manga is interesting,too. It all starts out with a 10 year old girl named Sakura,who opens the book of the Clow.The cards all escape,so Keroberos,tells Sakura she has to be a cardcaptor to save the world.She has two rivals,Li Showron& Meiling Rae.

Summary: I /like/ it!
Review: Having not seen the Japanese Card Captor Sakura, I am really enjoying the English Card Captors. For my sister (8) and me (18), Card Captors is what gets us out of bed on Sat. mornings... I'm very pleased that there is at last a Sat. morning cartoon which features a heroine

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CAADU GYAPUTA SAKURA!
Review: This is my favorite anime of all time! The story is great, the character development is top-notch, animation quality is classic, and an overly-cute mascott! I hope Pioneer does a good job with the subbed version, because I'll personally kill 'em if they don't. (Actually, ANYBODY could give a better translation than the Fushigi Anime Fansubs) ^^;. Oh yeah, to clear things up if you're confused, Li likes Yukito and Sakura, Yukito and Toya are a couple, Sakura likes Yukito, Tomoyo likes Sakura, and Tomoyo's mom liked Sakura's mom before she died. Oh yeah, it's SA-KU-RA, not SA-KYU-RA...Nelvana is evil.

Summary: Card Captor Sakura ROCKS!
Review: Me? I absolutely HATE the English version of Card Captor Sakura... What did they do to it? How can you change one of the best anime/manga out there into THAT? I own the Japanese version with English subtitles, which I have been getting from a fansubber, and hopefully this DVD will be much much better. I heard that this DVD is going to be uncut, and the same original verision I fell in love with.

The first few episodes revolve around, when Sakura first finds the magical Clow Cards and meets and guardian Keroberus (Kero-chan ^_^) and then on to capturing the Shadow card, then a trip to the aquarium for watery, then on to her "exhausting Sunday" when she is stuck with all the chores.

I hope the new more "proffessional" DVD will be better than my fansubs!

Summary: Cardcaptor Sakura - Finally in English!
Review: It's been over a year now that I've been watching the Japanese only version of this series. Only recently did the English version get released to television. There's no comparison, the English version is cut-up/chopped-up twisted and almost beyond recognition.

AND they change the names of the characters in the television version! YUCK! This DVD, if it is the true translated and complete copy, is a great show.

It's one of the few anime shows that all ages can watch and enjoy. Sakura may only be 10 years old, but the adventures that she has are something else again. Fun, cute and lots of surprises. Great character interactions and wonderful artwork.

Gotta see this one. You can watch the US television version, but you'll miss many of the interesting parts and some of them are important to understanding the characters. NAME changes be-gone!

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!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "I'm now called Cardcaptor Sakura!"
Review: I LUV this volume, even though Shoaron isnt in here, it will show you how it all started and Sakura even dating with her own crush!

Ep.1 Sakura and the Mysterious Magical Book
When Sakura comes home from school, she figures out that her brother and her Dad wont be home for a while. When she heard a weird sound in her basement, she looked down there and no one was there untill she found a book. She called out the "Windy" card and scatered all the 51 cards! Keroberoes tells her she needs to capture them all back to save the world from Chaos.
CARD USED: WINDY
CAPTURED: FLY

Ep.2 Sakura's Wonderful Friend
I really like this one about her best friend Tomoyo. Shes a great friend and you wished you had her as your friend!
When Sakura relizes that desks are piled up on each other for some strange reason and Kero calls it as being a Clow Card. One thing for sure, she cant do it alone until Tomoyo is with her! But can Sakura tell her about Cardcaptoring? All the clothes and styles that Sakuras and even Kero recieves. Everybodys shadows start to become stolen when it has to have a weakness. Light!
CARD USED: WINDY + FLY
CAPTURED: SHADOW

Ep.3 Sakuras Heart Racing First Date
O.M.G! It shows Yukito with Sakura going out on a date! Its so Kawaii! They go to the aquarium out on their date. Yukito even waited at the park earlier so he wont be late for their date! But, before they went on the date, some strange whirlpool was at the aquarium when Sakura went on the field trip with her classmates. Sakura needs to figure how she needs to stop it.
CARD USED: NONE (USED AN AQUARIUM FREEZER)
CAPTURED: WATERY

Ep.4 Sakuras Tiring Day
The title gives you an idea. Its because Sakura has to do the chores today when Touya and her Dad is out. Sorry Kero, you will have to help Sakura with it to. Some parts just make me laugh out loud. Sakura found two Clow Cards! But when the phone rang, she didnt have time to sign her name! Thats when things started to become a disaster.
CARD USED: WATERY
CAPTURED: RAIN + WOOD

IM TELLING YOU ITS NOT WASTE OF MONEY!! MAKE SURE YOU GET THE MOVIES AND OTHER VOLUMES!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Catch Cardcaptor Sakura on DVD!
Review: CARDCAPTOR Sakura is a wonderful anime, with no violence or that "adult" humor you sometimes find in other anime. It is completely appropriate and entertaining at the same time. The story is about a 10-year old Japanese girl by the name of Sakura (you pronounce her name Sah-kura) Kinomoto, whose just about as ordinary as a 4th grader gets. She has a best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji, whose just obssesed with Sakura. She has a father Fujitaka-san, and her brother Touya (who calls Sakura a monster). Sakura's crush is Touya's best friend Yukito Tsukishiro, an odd fellow with a HUGE appetite!
One day, curious little Sakura uncovers a book called the CLOW in her father's library. She opens it up and says a card "WINDY". The cards are all swept away, lost... A little creature with wings pops up... it's Kero-chan! Or Keroberos! He was supposed to be guarding the cards, but fell asleep. He tells Sakura she must be the one to capture all of the cards and bring them back. Oh what a long task!
The characters are soooo adorable and you can relate to them. I have no idea why KIDS WB! wanted to alter the story line a bit and change the perspectives of the characters. Other peeps that pop up along in the series are Syaoran Li, Sakura's rival and Meiling Li, a Li "fan". Don't miss this series! It's an opportunity to enjoy quality anime!
