CardCaptors

Not wishing to sound like a mad dub hater, I have to say that anime dubs are getting worse. Sailor moon was bad. Pokemon was bad. This is unforgivable.

It seems that this time the intention was to completely change the show, it was not just something that happened. The voices are nowhere near as good as the Japanese original, some characters (particularly Tomoyo, who incidentally is one of my favourite anime characters of all time) have completely new personalities, and most of them have the wrong names.

Add to this Sakura and Tomoyo's relationship has been severed, most episodes have been missed out, the rest have been butchered, and to cap it all off, Kero sounds like Rumble out of Transformers. (Not wishing to insult the great Frank Welker)

I'm sure there are some kids around who might like this, but the original is far superior. I'm just glad it's coming out on DVD subtitled.

When I first started watching CardCaptors, I thought it was cool, but then they started going slack on their episodes and flooding us with reruns and then they went off the air or something. The Japanese DVDs with English subtitles are really great. If you try to watch them on a playstation it'll want you to set Parental Control to level 8 but hey, there's NOTHING wrong with it; to me that's just the mark of a good strong show that hasn't been run over as if by a Mack truck from all those watering-downs! "Parental Control 8, enter your password" is just the mark of a good show that hasn't been babied down just to make toddlers watch it so they fuss to their parents "buy me cardcaptors cards! buy me this! buy me that!"

I'm a huge fan of CardCaptor Sakura (the manga) and when I was flipping through the channels and saw Yukito Tsukishiro (one of the most wonderful bishounen..), I thought "YAY!"...then I watched the rest of the episode and needed a box of kleenex.. It was just as bad as Sailor Moon.. (the new dubbed Sailor moon.. that's just...wrong). I just want to know how they could get "Julien Star" from "Yukito Tsukishiro" and "Tori" from "Touya"!? They changed way too much in this, from people's relationships in the series to names to bad voice dubbing to personalities.. *sigh* If they do this to Slayers like they say they will.. and change names in the series...and change the dub actors.. They'll answer to me..

This is a awesome Anime but the dubbed version is total crap! I have seen the whole series in Japanese by downloading. When I heard that the series was FINALLY coming to where I live I was all hyped up about it. Until I realized how much they edited out! The dubbed voices are so incredibly lame, high-pitched and just plain ANNOYING the plot was terrible I wanted to kill someone! They did an awful job at dubbing this awesome show. Anyone who likes Anime but thinks this show sucks, should really try to get their on the Japanese version because it's WAYYYYY better.

Dubbed- 4/10

Real Japanese Version- 9/10

This English-language anime dub was produced by Nelvana (this animation studio is based in Toronto), but voiced in Vancouver. However, all anime television series and films produced by Nelvana were voiced in Toronto. It's probably because this English-language anime dub starring Sakura Avalon was originally planned to be voiced in Toronto, like all anime television series and films produced by Nelvana. For reasons unknown, it was eventually decided that the adventures of Sakura Avalon should be dubbed in Vancouver. Were the adventures of Sakura Avalon originally planned to be voiced in Toronto and why this dubbing moved to Vancouver? Fortunately for me, there are some animated television series with the voices of Vancouver-based voice talent produced by Nelvana. The best example of it is "Class of the Titans" (2006). The decision that the adventures of Sakura Avalon should be dubbed in Vancouver caused Warner Bros. Animation to record the voices for some animated television series with voice actors associated with The Ocean Group. If the adventures of Sakura Avalon were dubbed in Toronto, Warner Bros. Animation could recorded the voices for these animated television series with Toronto-based voice actors.
