Summary: Cardcaptors - Tests of Courage (Vol. 1)
Review: I'll get the bad parts of the DVD overwith first. First off, there is only 1 or 2 (if you count character bios) extras (unless you also count closed captioning). The only "real" extra is the Japanese opening, which is prittey cool and has some great music. Now, to continue the good, the first episode is "Sakura's Rival" where Sakura first meets Li Showron and captures the Thunder card. The second episode is Time and Again, which I had never seen before until I bought this DVD(another tie to me is two days later I purchased the doll of Sakura where she is wearing the costume she wears in this episode, the green fairy costume) Sakura has to repeat a day where she has to redo a music test in which she scored poorly on the first day, and Kero loses the video game save in which he is on the last level when the day repeats. Sakura turns the time spirit back into a card but, the card chooses to go with Li. The last episode is The Cave (one of my favorites). In which, Sakura goes on a field trip to the beach. Sakura goes on a shrine walk and all of the people with her disapear. Sakura captures the erase card.

Review: Well, if you have not seen CCS, this can be an ok volume. However, you'll be disappointed if you have watched the original japanese version Card Captor Sakura. Nelvana erased important scenes and does not make as much sense. If you don't like to read subtitles or listen to japanese language, this video is for you.(although listening to japanese helps you learn it! ^_^) I do recomend watching cardcaptors and then the original version to compare , contrast, and decide which one do you preffer.

Summary: Cardcaptors: A Good Intro To Cardcaptor Sakura
Review: Ok, I'll admit what everyone else is saying, Cardcaptors is frankly not as good as the original Japanese show, Cardcaptor Sakura. But, Cardcaptors is good for something at least. It led me to Cardcaptor Sakura, and for that I am eternally grateful.
I'm 15, and I was tired of the basic old cartoons for kids. I had fallen in love with Cardcaptors on Kids WB, but I had to admit that the way it was directed at really young kids sort of turned me off. Then, searching for Cardcaptors info on the web, I found out about Cardcaptor Sakura, and it was like *WOW* !!! *swoon*So if you've never see Cardcaptor Sakura, get Cardcaptors. If you like it, you will adore Cardcaptor Sakura. It's a whole new world.

Review: absolutely NO plot, completely butchered, not intresting. this is a dubdubdubdubdubdubdub of CCSakura, with no plot/ storyline besides mindless card captoring/transforming. in scenes where Li is *supposed* to be blushing, they change the dialouge, but have him blushing. The last episode out of like 20 (suposed to have 70) is totally dumb, with such a bad cliffhanger (that cuts out the 2nd movie) that ends the series on a bad note. WIll Li come back? Goodness, it seems like Sakura is hoping that he will come back so that she will have all her friends. All the character's personalities are gone, so I recommed you don't buy this. Go get the VHS with subtitles- you'll at least get the real thing, even if the subtitles aren't that um good. At least they are 80% accurate.

Review: Let us start off. Cardcaptors is the worst dubbed show event to premiere (it actually beat Sailor Moon in terms of this), and worst than Pokemon in editing. This show is so pathetic in its dubbing that you can laugh at it. The only thing of interest in here is the first episode. If you notice, Terada-sensei writes Li-kun's name on the blackboard, but nothing shows up. Hah! Now you can see how bad Nelvana is at this and what is in store.
Buy the subtitled Cardcaptor Sakura, please! You will hate yourself forever if you buy this and you go on cardcaptors-uncensored.com and find out exactly what you missed.

Summary: Boy, they really screwed this one up
Review: Well, another great anime brought to America bites the dust. All because the people who are trying to promote it think that the American children are too ignorant to enjoy a complex story with great morals and a comprehensive plot. (I think Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone proved that theory false) The dubbing his HORRIBLE!! Sakura becomes a Brat, Lei the main character (??) and i'm sorry, but Kero is NOT a gameshow host!! Please, will someone ever release an anime series over here without chopping it into little pieces and putting it back together in a horrible monstrosity? Do yourself a favor, and buy the Pioneer releases, they may be subtitled, but if you are a true fan, or just a little curious, Its worth every penny and will open your eyes.

Summary: 2nd Worst Dubbing Job of an Anime, EVER
Review: Those people at Nelvana need to be hung upside down for a year and then be beaten numerous times with an ugly stick. Let's start at the beginning, turn on the tv to watch the new renamed Cardcaptors on KidsWB. Well somethings not right here.... oh! I see! THEY STARTED THE SERIES AT EPISODE 8, for god's sake!! What is WRONG with you people??????!!!!!!! Shaoran is a physcotic idiot who is obssessed with the word pathetic, Tomoyo is a blithering valley girl idiot who is in love with video cameras, Tori sounds way more gay for a guy in high school than Touya, Sakura sounds like an obnoxious 15 year old brat who would much rather go out to the mall with school-dropouts and smoke pot or something, Yukito can't toss Sakura a piece of candy because its WAY too violent of course, and Sakura's deceased mother is now a russian spy!! They focused way way way too much on the cards, that wasn't really the focus of the show, it was almost originally MINOR conflict, but you can tell by the oh-so spiffy cardcaptors opening "song" (if you can really call it that) that this is just something that Nelvana tried to make the next pokemon. Yeah nelvana, saw how popular that pokemon was, just wanted a little sip of that hm? You just did this job because YOU wanted to make some big fortune of money like pokemon did!! Be ashamed nelvana, be very ashamed. Before you go and pretty much throw away your money in the trash by buying any Cardcaptors videos or dvds, do a little reasearch, and if you STILL want to get cardcaptors afterwards, just send the money down to some people in Tijuana or something, better than throwing it away like idiots.

Summary: An insult to audience and creators
Review: Carcaptor Sakura comes from the creative minds of CLAMP, an all-female manga-ka (comic book artist team) in Japan. Their Sakura series was (and still is) enormously popular in Japan and has a large following stateside. Following on the heels of the success of Sailor Moon, it would only make sense that Cardcaptor Sakura would find its way into American living rooms. However, the results were hugely disappointing to many fans of the series. While many die-hard anime fans complain about the voices being so different, let's face it. There's no way to get Iwao Junko to come here and speak English for the dubbing company. The voice actors had to be different anyway. However, on the other hand, the actors for America's Card Captors really DO sound like the company just pulled some people off the street. In dubbing this series, cute became valley-girl attitude and sweetness became tiring melodrama. Characterizations changed completely, and if that's not bad enough, so did the story. Card Captors bears little resemblance to its Japanese forbearer. By cutting the first six episodes, major plot points were deleted, resulting in a show where cartoon characters run around catching cards with no motivation or background story. I believe the argument for that was that it would have been too complicated for the target audience of pre-schoolers and very young children. What I can't understand is why the target audience had to be altered at all. The original audience consisted roughly of girls between the ages of eight and fourteen. The following the series amassed stretched far beyond that, with the result that CLAMP's entire fan base tuned in. So let's send a message to the TV dubbing companies -- stop dumbing down our shows for American release! If it's entirely obvious that Tomoyo has a crush on Sakura and that Touya and Yukito are more than best friends, then leave that in! Card Captors is an insult to both the audience and the creators.

Summary: card captors vs card captor sakura
Review: (...)i have watched both the full series -or what is avaliable of cardcaptors- of card captors and card captor sakura when nelvanna got the rights to the japanese card captor sakura and turned it into card captors they killed off something that was beautiful and made it kitch!! all i can say is that if you consider yourself to be a cardcaptors fan, is that you should do your homework and have a look at the origianal japanese non-dubbed version. (dubbing is a crime!! always always choose a subbed version) the japanese version is much more intrecate than the gruff and borish cardcaptors. in fact, i would even go as close to say that card captors is a huge insult!! not only to the card captor sakura series, and it's die hard fans, but also to it's audience. i say that it is an insult to it's audience as it has dumbed the show down sooooo much, it is as if nelvanna doesn't htink that they can cope with the complexities that the origianal japanese story line has. and yes, the nelvanna story line has been severely altered from what it once was. please, don't think that i am being overly pushy or anything, i just beleive that everybody desires value for money, and if this is the case, then you should invest in true cardcaptor sakura merchandise, not its cheep little sibling version. and if not, at least consider watching cardcaptor sakura and comparing it with cardcaptors - i promise you that you will not be disapointed with the origianl, and dare i say it, the best.
