But those things are EXPENSIVE, arent they? The only DVDs I would buy in Japanese would be those never ever released in America [Digimon, for example, WHY BANDAI, WHY? STUPID *kicks them*] ....if I had a region-free DVD player....and 50 bucks per DVD and there are about 250 something episodes for all 5 seasons...then I'd go that way too...but anything else that is American released, I'll buy in America...Tsubasa will be the ONLY dvd I'll buy one by one...Im the type to usually wait for boxsets to come out. Guess I like Tsubasa too much lol.

Bingo! That's why I don't do it that way. Granted, you can purchase a region-free DVD player pretty cheap these days (around $50) and even a Japanese region DVD at a good price ($50-60) however go to the usual anime sites that deal with Japanese DVDs and you'll find the DVD costing more than the DVD player!!!

Virtually all of the anime DVD sets I own I watch in Japanese instead of English, especially Gatchaman, Rurouni Kenshin and Cardcaptor Sakura, though with that one, you have no choice :greengrin:

SRy to dble post... But the thing about people complaing about bt and s2 we have every rite to. To decimated every ones character in the chaos arc and the animation was nausiating at points. Kuro went from hot bishi to looking like $h!t between library eps.           il definatly buy only the first couple vols of s2.

I think its psycological with thir kinda thing. What you see first is what you like the best. Ie im not fond of hackSIGN jap vas cuz i watched the dub on CN first. ; dont hate me but i would still watch cardcaptors (but only if yue is in it) despite knowing how bad it was done.                                    that kind of thing. Its only natural that those of us who got to watch fansubs first hand to snub the dub. Once the dvds hit the shelves and it runs on cable there will be a new fanbase set for trc.

Buying English DVDs means nothing for CLAMP.

I'll stick with japanese dvds.
Expect that it does mean everything for CLAMP.  That's what this thing called a "licensing fee" is that Funi paid the Japanese companies with.  When you buy the R1 DVDs, the money does go to Funi, but the money that Funi profits off of is used to pay the license fees for the Japanese companies for more anime to be licensed, which goes back to the creators, giving them more support so they can create more anime.  The less you support the R1 companies, the less anime North American companies can afford to license for the U.S., which means the less money the Japanese companies make from allowing these titles to be licensed, which means less anime produced in Japan.  Of course it's your money to do with what you want, and I'm not an expert on this subject, but if buying R1 DVDs meant nothing for CLAMP, then why would they bother releasing them in the first place?  Besides, even if you buy the R2s, Bee Train still has to make a profit off of the sales too, so it's not like CLAMP is making any more of a direct profit off of your purchase than buying the R1s would mean for them.  If you want to be that picky about directly supporting CLAMP, you'd have to import the Japanese manga.  But even then it's still not an absolute direct profit for CLAMP since the Japanese manga publishers have to make a profit off it, too.
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

My only major problem with Funimation's adaptation is all the seemingly small dialogue edits that make scenes sound unnatural, or are just unnecessary. All the random grunts. Sakura's saying "I thought you were cute", in reference to her and Syaoran's first meeting, and that whole childhood scene of playing in the garden just sounded weird. Largely anything she says just sounds strange coming from "Sakura".
Some of the edits make Syaoran seem a bit less intelligent (?) as well. For example, Sakura's floating in the air in the middle of a crumbling ruin, and he says "Stay there!!". In Hanshin, after receiving the letter from Primera, "Hanshin? Where's that?" (Even though he was told where he was by this point.
I agree with you, I acctually laughed when Syaoran said "Stay there!", it sounded silly.
(As expected)I didn't like any of the voices, for example Sakura's was too high-pitched :/ But it was fun to know how they sounded, thanks for the clips kazemon15 ^^

I own the DVD box set now. The box is Pretty. I am so extremely thrilled. I OWN Tsubasa. Sure the Dub is not... great... Oh well, I'm still very happy. Thank you for the clips Kazemon, If I hadn't heard the dub before I bought it, I might have been really disappointed with it. You Rock.

I got my boxset of TRC today...very nice case to hold all the DVDs in, well done. Started watching the English dub, trying to keep an open mind about it but honestly, when Sakura jumped on Syaoran and started blurting out questions, she said in the English dub "Did you keep the dirt out of your nose?" I lost all objectivity from that point on. I'll watch all 5 and give out more opinions soon. At least it's better than Crapcaptors :greengrin:

Well I guess I'm glad to be hard of hearing and only be able to read subs because I didnt hear that at all. Most of the stuff they said in English I didnt hear...I wish Funi kept the English subtitles for the English language like they did with Spiral...

Now finished the first 5 episodes. The voices, still annoying but show improvement. Now, Kurogane's pet names are a little ugh and Sakura calling Syaoran 'Shou' doesn't sound right at all. The most unforgivable slip... C-L-O-W sounds like 'cow' and not like 'crow'.

For shame, Funimation...for shame...

Oye Vey. x__x that's -1000 points to the whole dub for that lazy slip. =/ I wonder if dub companies actually care about their series' fans at all, or just like shipping these things out as quick as they can.

Bought the dvd for myself, at last. =)

I think the worst thing next to the inconcistant translations for the japanese subtitled version (as in, they switched from happenstance to coincidence, and everything was excessively wordy, as if they wanted them to watch only the english version...;;; ), was hearing Syaoran say "claow". *shudders* Did it have to be Syaoran first? Sad sad.
