    CardCaptors Sakura

    *Best Show Ever Made *Everyone watch Cardcaptors and give it a chance.

    *I don't consider this a kid show, but It's for all ages.

    *For both guys and girls.

    *Im 23 and a Male and have seen every episode and it never grows old.

    *This Show is Very Under-rated and original.

    * Its a mature Japanese style show with a more mellow type humor.

    * I really hope someone else notices the realness of this show. * This show could have at least 10 more seasons and I would buy everyone for twice of what its worth... *99% of animated American made shows are garbage. * Please Watch CardCaptors Sakura.

    An okay movie

    It was okay, average in detail. Not big action scenes, weak plot for the villain. Not nearly as good as the series but acceptable. Still recommended and can be skipped since its non-canon.

    One of the better general audience anime films.

    Those who've seen the Cardcaptors T.V. series should know that this movie takes place midway through the series-just before the episode "Melin's Story", back when Sakura is still in the process of capturing cards. In the movie she wins a trip for four to Hong Kong. She takes her best friend Madison, her crush Julian, and her older brother Tori with her. (Kero is also brought along as well.) After arriving, she finds herself reunited with Li Showron and Melin. Sakura has also been plagued with frightening dreams lately, and it seems that her winning the trip to Hong Kong was a planned event...see it for yourself.

    Not Bad But Not Special

    Cardcaptor Sakura the Movie is a little Chinese adventure that takes place in the middle of the series that honestly didn't need to be there. It is fine and has some cute moments. However, nothing really important or interesting happens in this movie. I feel like it can be skipped if you are not a superfan.

    Favorite Part: Sakura and Xiaolang's mother. His reaction was pretty amusing. Part I Hated: The whole set up to get her to China. All of it was just a little too far fetched at times.

    Sub is better!

    I first saw two episodes of the series dubbed, and didn't mind it (that's how I saw most of my anime back then). However, now that I have been able to compare the original to a fansub I once saw, the sub was by far superior. In the dub, Sakura sounds 5 years older than she actually is, and Kero has a GUY'S voice. Yuk yuk yuk! Worst of all, the names are Americanised. I haven't seen enough of either to compare episode orders, so all I can say is good is an opening theme (which is played to the same tune as the original) and the end theme.

    I now go pretty much mental whenever I hear the accursed title Cardcaptors being mentioned except where it refers solely to Sakura and Li in the show and not the show itself.
