Which is better? Japanese or English?
« on: December 30 2005, 10:51 am »
I've only seen the English version, so of course, all the name were different, which was really annoying. So I wanted to know which one you guys thought was better, English or Japanese?

Definitely the Japanese version. I hated the English versions soooo much that I am currently selling my English version DVD's and VHS' (don't know why I brought them in the first place)

The reason why I don't like the English version is because....
~ The voices for almost all the characters sounds so wrong, for example Kero's voice sounds as though he is an old man!
~ The way they cut and editted so many parts!
~ Music is not as good as the Japanese version. I suppose the music is okay in the English version, but they only composed a few pieces of music and play the same old music again and again in every episode.
~ Songs are not particulary good. I suppose some of the songs such as Razzamatazz (spelling?), Just around the corner are okay, but notice most of the songs are fairly short and looks totally wrong going with CCS such as I can make it
~ There is no relationships/couples in the dub. What happened to the S & S couple?
~ Character names has changed, the Japanese names definitely suit the characters more.

There are more reasons why I hate the English version, but I think I will leave it there because I'm tired typing now ><"

No thanks are necessary. Crapcaptors is a sore point with me. The less said about it, the better.

Definitely the Japanese is better. I cannot stand how they dubbed the English version. They cut it, sliced it, and diced it until it was mince meat! As for downloads, I have all the Japanese episodes on DVD so I don't need to download them, but for you the only way you can ever see them is if you have bittorent.

Trust me, you won't find direct download. I looked way before I got my episodes, and I only ever found 1 website with direct link, and they're closed down.

There's no doubt about it.  The Japanese version definetly gets my vote.  For one thing, it's the original version that was meant to be seen.  The dub VAs are terrible and don't fit the characters at all; a lot of episodes were skipped and combined, and some were even aired out of order in the U.S. (only 39 out of the original 70 were ever aired on Kid's WB); almost every character's personality was changed, usually to make them more snobbier than what they were in the original; changes to the plot were made, such as cutting out all the relationships , including the more "innocent" ones like Sakura x Shaoran among other changes, and the ending was just really screwed up.  By itself CC isn't half-bad, admittedly.  Nelvana did do a pretty good job of covering up the cuts they made, so you could almost consider CC to be a seperate series from CCS, and CC did introduce many CCS fans to the original and Clamp in general, myself included, but CCS is still better hands-down.
When her leathery, crow-footed face turned towards my raised hand and said, “Yes, the boy in the Sailor Mercury t-shirt,” I sprung into action. It took me a brief 20 seconds to acquire the bokken (wooden sword) I had secured to the underside of our chairs with duct tape the night previous. Shouting “Japan BANZAIII!” in the manner of those noble kamikaze pilots from the War of United States Aggression (so tactlessly referred to in your history books as “World War II”), I charged the stage, bringing down the bokken forcefully onto the plywood table in front of Tiffany Grant. It was a tragic mistake not to channel my ki correctly. The bokken splintered into a thousand pieces, leaving me with no other plan of attack besides shouting, “You’re no Asuka!” as two Ohayocon toughs escorted me out of the room-SomethingAwful.com

I agree. After all, the dubbed can't ever compare to the Japanese version!

Reflected behind my closed eyelids is a sweet field. Dauntless, I embrace you lovingly. I am together with you.

Out of love, I forge a pact with you. Like a breath, the wind will envelop you. You and I will be together wherever we go.
