Summary: I'm so happy I bought the subtitled version!
Review: I was so bored always watching the dubbed version. But this version is so much better. And I have no regrets for wasting my money!! The theme song is so great{a million times better than the Cardcraptors one}. And the ending theme song is great too. I just wish the scenery wasn't so boring, since it's just Kero running around the world. The Saint Tail scenery was even better{not that I'm saying the ending theme of ST was better than the ending theme of CCS}.
In the first episode:
We meet Sakura Kinomoto, a was-normal 4th grader, her father Fujitaka and her brother Toya. Sakura finds a book called The Clow, which is filled with cards, in her basement. She says a card name{windy}and all the cards fly away. Then a little plush toy named Kero tells Sakura she must capture the other cards. Sakura faces her first challenge in capturing the fly card.
In the second episode:
Sakura's friend Tomoyo finds out about kero and Sakura's magic. The shadow card is up to no good in Sakura's school.
In the third episode:
The Watery card is causing mischief at an aquarium by trying to drown people.
In the fourth episode:
Sakura can't go on a picnic with Tomoyo because she has to stay home and do chores all day. Sakura finds two Clow cards that cause some damage around her house.
This series would be great for teens to start getting. Highly recommended.

Summary: OK I think CCS is better
Review: When I looked at the differences between CC and CCS, I relized that they ruined the show. Cut scenes, love is cut out, changed the dialouge into a whole different story, I relize too that Sakura is anoying in CC. Get CCS version. If your a CC fan get CC then. I dont care who gets what. Anyways, this video contains 4 great episodes of Sakura capturing the Fly, Watery, Wood and Rain, Shadow. Its so cute when Sakura and Yukito go to an aqarium like a little date. Atleast not to Sakura. The best! This is so Kawaii! Funny, full of love, action, and school life.
"The key that holds the power of Amazon,
Reveal your true form to me,
I, Sakura, commands thee under convert,
Release!"

Summary: The anime like it's supposed to be!!!
Review: Cardcaptor Sakura is a show about a girl who is in 4 grade and opened a magical book... In the book (was) Clow Cards, only when she opened this book she released all the cards. She also woke up the guardian beast, kero. Now it's her job to capture all the Clow Cards. The Japanese version is much better than the crummy English version. You get to see how the show was meant to be. The orignal script and nothing is censored or cut out. And if you are over or are 13 you will like this version better then the English version.

Rating: 2 stars

Summary: Cardcaptor Sakura Review (not anything else)
Review: I would like to mention first that what I am reviewing here is the original, uncut, Japanese version of CCS. I will not be reviewing anything else. Second of all, I would like to say that is probably one of my favorite anime, especially one of my favorite ClAMP anime. CCS is about an ordinary 10 yr old girl, named Sakura Kinomoto, who, after coming home from an ordinary day at school, finds a mysterious book in her father's basement. She opens the book, and inside she finds a stack of magical cards, called the Clow Cards. She pulls out the first card and reads it's name. Unforunately, it is the Windy card, and it causes a huge gust of wind to scatter the cards about, releasing them into their true forms as powerful monsters and magical spells. Kerberoes (or rather Kero-chan, for short), appears out of the book's cover and tells Sakura that she must've had some sort of magical power, if she was able to break the seal on the Book of Clow (the book the Clow cards were confined in). After explaining to Sakura about what the Clow Cards are, and who Clow Reed (the cards' creator) was, Kero-chan tells Sakura that she must become the Cardcaptor and re-capture the Clow cards before a casptrophe destroys the world. CCS is a very good introduction to CLAMP's anime, and it is defienetly one of my fav magical girl anime. All the character's are loveable, the animation is colorful, and the music is very fitting for this series. I highly recommend CCS to all anime fans. The main reason why I think Pioneer rated this series 13+ was because of the mature themes like homosexuality and incest (Tomoyo, a girl, is obessesed with Sakura, and two other characters, Syaoran and Meiling, are engaged even though they are cousins). Still, this series is alot safer than most other anime, and I think most kids can handle it. I highly recommend this series if you love magical girl anime. I give it a defiente 5 star rating.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: KAWAII!!!
Review: This is such a kawaii (cute) series by CLAMP! I have to tell you...I just fell in love with this series by seeing all the websites dedicated to Cardcaptor Sakura! There are so many!^-^ So, when my friend told me that you could buy anime series on DVD (like she did) I was so excited! So, with my birthday money, I decided to purchase the package Amazon offers of buying Cardcaptor Sakura vol. 1 and 2, and went for it. I will never regret it...it just has that happy feeling in it that makes it light and airy, not to mention funny! I hope you consider buying this DVD it is so worth the cost!^-^

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More than the American version
Review: This entire un-American edited series on VHS can get expensive but if you liked the edited version, you may really like this uncut stuff. Is it edgy? I guess if one is uptight about sexuality and does not understand this is made in Japan for a Japanese audience. This first tape has the beginning of Sakura's adventures and we meet most of the main cast here. While the whole "Kero Check" thing can be cute, I think it gets annoying after a while.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kon-no-na-chiwa!!
Review: The first volume is great! This dvd is only available in japanese with subtitles, so its completely uncut. All of the eps. are in the correct order (unlike Cardcaptors) and you get the first four episodes in this dvd (4 of the original never realeased on Cardcaptors). All in all this dvd is wonderful! Buy it and enjoy ^-^!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CardCaptor Sakura, Vol1
Review: As you probably know, CardCaptor Sakura is the original TV show from Japan. Those of us who live in USA and Canada have the inadvantage of watching the butchered version of this wonderful show CardCaptors. If you want to see the original, you can buy the volumes seperately, but I recomend you buy the TV series set.

For this volume we have episodes:

1. Sakura and the Mysterious Magic Book

2. Sakura's Wonderful Friend

3. Sakura's Heart-throbbing First Date

4. Sakura's Tiring Sunday

1st episode explains the plot of the story. Sakura Kinomoto is a normal 10 year old girl living it Toemeda, Japan, She is a cheerleader in school and her best friends are Tomoyo, Rika, Chiharu, Naoko and Takashi. She lives with her Big Brother Touya and Father, Fujitaka. Touya has a best friend, Yukito, and Sakura has a bit of a crush on him.

Sakura is coming home from school and notices that both her Dad and Brother will be staying late at work. She is just getting a snack when she hears strange noises from her fathers studies. Armed with a baton, she goes downstairs to investigate. She finds no one downstairs, but when she turns to leave, a book in a shelf starts to glow. Sakura opens it and finds funny looking cards (which kind of look like tarrot cards.) She picks up the top one and reads the name "Win...Wind... WINDY?" Suddenly a wind picks up and all the cards blow out of the book, going through the roof and scattering all over the town.
Sakura drops the book in astonishment. While she is looking at the card still in her hand. the book starts glowing again and a small teddybear with wings comes out from the cover. He introduces himself as Keroberous, Gardian beast of the seal. Sakura tells him what happened to the cards, and he tells her thst she has to help him get them back. Keroberous names her a CardCaptor and tells her all about the clow cards. As he is saying this, a huge wind comes through the window. Keroberous tells her it is the FLY card, and as he is saying this, a huge bird flys overhead. Sakura is scared at first, but over comes her fear and captures the FLY card.

2nd episode is basically about Tomoyo finding out about Sakura being a CardCaptor and Sakura goes on to capture the Shadoe card. This is also the first episode for battle costumes.

3rd episode is about Sakura going on a date with her crush, Yukito. There is also continuous trouble with the water card...

4th episode is one that made the lame Cardcaptors dub. Sakura is stuck at home doing chores when she finds two clow card that have been blow under furniture in her house. But what is this tree sprouting from the basement...

Do me a favor and buy this volume or the CardCaptor Sakura TV series. It is definently worth the money. Episodes are subtitled in english and all the voice acting is really good. I really appreciated Tange Sakura preformance, although all the rest were good too. An excellent TV show that unfortunatly was not shown here in North America.

Ja Ne, minna-san!!
