Asterix is best viewed in French.
Life is Beautiful is best viewed in Italian.
And Card Captor Sakura would thus be best viewed in it's original language.
As for the marketing, that's the whole point.I call it the Industry for a reason.If we didn't buy this stuff they would not make series. We need them for entertainment,they need us for $.
Nevalana was simply the wrong place to go to. They did Babar and the Magic School Bus,which is great but not the tone CLAMP would nessecary want. Time-Warner was a longshot, I have watched that network since I was in 1st grade: They always gear towards boys. Boys/little kids.Doesn't matter now anyways, it got cancelled and got replaced with X-Men Evolution. Which was even more stupid because Marvel is in competition with Time-Warner's comic book property,DC.That was replaced with Teen Titans...To the point every series has to end some time.
