CLAMP's Famous Works > Cardcaptor Sakura
The heresy that is Cardcaptors.
Takeru:
One thing to say. Wow. Just freaking wow.
Never has one of my threads been this popular in my entire life. I just say that Cardcaptors is like a media satan, then all of a sudden people are making death threats towards Nelvana? Fantastic. I'm going to add a few more comments on what I think about Cardcraptors.
I watched the entire first (COUGH*EIGHTH*COUGH) episode. Not funny, not cute, not interesting. It just jumps into the prospect of collecting Clow Cards for some random reason that isn't thoroughly enough explained. The only information we have on the background story is the opening sequence.
I'm going to go through this detailed list of opinions for the voice actors used in the dub. The only ones I heard, mind you.
[*]Carly McKillip - "Sakura Avalon"
Carly's voice was okay. Not the best I've ever heard, but it was okay. It definitely suited her character as she was in the dub, but her acting skills could be upped a bit. Apparently she already had extensive acting experience, doing many musical performances for The Wizard of Oz, but I guess voice acting just isn't her forte.
[*]Matt Hill - "Kero"
Kero's voice, or rather, "Keero's", sounded like some wanna-be surfer dude guy. Did not enjoy the performance. He actually did Ed's voice in Ed, Edd, and Eddy, and I do not see what Nelvana saw in him that so fitted Kero.
[*]Rhys Huber - "Li Showron"
Hmm, not the best voice. It was okay, like Sakura's. He has a somewhat small carreer in acting, and doesn't have much information on him.
[*]Brian Drummond - "Aiden Avalon"
Loved it. Perfect voice actor. Only voice I liked. He has extensive voice-acting skills and can act well in a number of scenarios. Apparently he also did Vegeta in Dragonball Z.
[*]Maggie Blue O'Hara - "Madison Taylor"
Do not even START. Just don't. Good voice actor, HORRIBLE for the role.

About the second movie. I don't think Nelvana was in charge of the dubbing job on that, and it was actually done pretty well from what I hear. Name changes were opted out, original storyline was retained, and the whole S&S theme was kept as well.

I agree about Kero's voice.....if anyone has heard Eriol's voice....*shivers* Just ew. Touya's VA was ok and so was Yukito's. But overall, the dub wasn't that great. I'll stick to the Japanese instead of dubbed.
Sakaki:
I'm absolutely Loving your Touya avatar, Fai!
He looks SO good in Tsubasa. :O)
Cardcraptors has NO plot.
They took everything of importance out.
They took out all the relationships. To me, that is what CardCaptor Sakura is
all about.
And I don't want to be mean to the voice actors in Cardcraptors, but it was really horrible!
Get netflix for a month and you can see every uncut Cardcaptor Sakura episode in Japanese. The voice acting is amazing. No one can come close to replacing their real Japanese voices. Yuki and Syaoran's voices are so kawaii I could faint.

Oh thank you~ <3 I took the screencap myself and made it into an icon xD I need to make more Touya icons from Tsubasa and CCS.
But I also agree to your post, Sakaki....I really need to get netflix because a friend of mine has it =3 Maybe I'll take interests so I can see CCS instead of CC <3

I've said it once, and I'll say it again....
The only bad version of Cardcaptors is the american version! The australian and english ones were just like the japanese one!
