Weird but catchy that is. ^^ But, I don't listen to it anymore...

I guess the French version of Purachina is okay... I guess...

No! Don't remind me of CC music. When I heard their version of "Catch you Catch me" I almost died.

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.

Of course I liked the Japanese version better. The characters developed more through each episode and there was actually a plot and character background. The music aint that good in the English version either, esspecially the theme song. The guy who sang it certainly didn't know proper english...they also removed alot of relationships away in Cardcaptors. One of the best things in Cardcaptor Sakura was the relationships, mainly the Syaoran x Sakura and Yukito x Sakura/Syaoran, which were thrown away in the English version.  :cry:

And the characters are more sweeter than the snobby characters in the cropped up and trashed Cardcaptors. :D I much prefer Sakura from CCS over the snobby, selfish and u stressed Sakura from the butchered CC dub, thank you.  :)

No, it was Yoru no Uta they dubbed in tagalog. It was cute though.

Hinahanap ang kalinga ni inay~
Ilang ulit inaasam~

They kept the meaning of the song intact.

Personally I think the English version is OK, but only the Australian english version. We had all 70 episodes dubbed so it's a lot better than the American version although the voices are still the same as the American version. All the episodes were dubbed so I wonder why they didn't show them all in America?

I may change my mind though as I've ordered the Japanese version and can't wait to watch it.

Because they didn't do a straight dub from Japanese to English...they changed the very meaning of the episodes themselves to the point of the show becoming an embarrasement.

I don't think any dub could be called a straight dub but the aussie version was about as straight as it's gonna get. As far as I can tell nothing was cut but some dialogue was changed. I'll be able to make a better comparison when I see more of the Japanese version.

Because Kid's WB wanted the show to focus more on the action aspects of CCS in order to make another Pokemon clone.  Kid's WB skipped the first seven episodes because they weren't action-packed enough and they were also centered around Sakura, but Kid's WB wanted the show to be more about Li.  So, all the other episodes that didn't have a lot of action scenes in them or were about Sakura were either skipped or combined.
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

Thanks for that. Although I can't see how they made the Pokemon comparison. Pokemon's totally different. And trying to change the main character is a really bad idea.

Pokemon's okay. For me that is since I'm such a Pokemon fanatic. XP

It's Cardcaptors that gets me ticked off. The voices of dubbed really bother me...

The 'Pokemon Clone' reference made was their attempt to make Cardcaptors the 'NEXT BIG TOY CRAZE!' like the Pokemon cards and toys. Alas, it fell flat on its face and all fingers point toward Nelvana and Kids WB for attempting to market it the way they did.
