I was reading the FAQ section and I had to laugh at their answer to this question:
Why did Nelvana edit the shows and alter the content from the original Japanese version?
The answer:
Nelvana has a strong reputation for priving quality children's entertainment worldwide with 30 years in the industry. Carcaptors is directed at children between approximately 6 to 14 years of age and we have made certain decisions to exclude portions of the original in keeping with our standards for children's entertainment.
Hmm..okay. But here's the kicker:
We believe these edits do not take away from the overall positive Carcaptors experience for viewers.

Yeah, Sakura and Syaoran's relationship wasn't vital to the plot, I mean it only butchered the entire series making it into some waste I'd rather not talk about -_-"
Ah well, there to stuck up to admit that they destoryed the show. Besides, CCS was a show for all ages, man, just because the main characters are young doesn't mean the show is directed to younger viewers >.< Okay, maybe it is, but older people than 5 can watch the show too ya know. Children entertainment my bum!

They didn't give much information about the CCS japanese series huh?
Q: What's the difference between the show Cardcaptor Sakura in Japan and Cardcaptors in North America?
A: In addition to changing the show from Japanese to English, Nelvana worked with Kids WB! and Teletoon to ensure Cardcaptors met North American children's broadcasting standards.
My foot! -_-

What do they think we are, so deprived people who haven't thought about love, or shonen-ai for that matter. When I was a kid I knew about love, and I wasn't stupid too. I swear, my first crush was in Grade 4. We're not that much different than Japnese kids, we still share the same thinking.
When North-americans want to make things 'apporpiate' they mean take out anything that looks remotely emotional and make the characters into robots. That's why I like watching subbed anime, it's idealistic, not some biased crap that think is 'apporpiate' for children.
I got my self worked up again XD

My thoughts exactly!
With all the advertiements/movies/media (cause practically all of it has to do with sex) all these kids are watching and being influenced by, you'd think a little bit of romance in a so called, "Childrens" anime would be nothing! I mean, there will be those beer, condom and anything to do with sex/drug use commercials playing during the breaks on CC......does a little shonen-ai REALLY matter?
It confuses me. Greatly confuses me.
Haha, and by the way...I had my first crush in the 1st grade :tongue3:
fisah:
I totally agree with you. Where influenced by things far more 'inapporpiate' but a little innocent romance and a bit of shonen-ai is considered bad. It really doens't make sense. I just think that Americans just don't like innocent things, I mean, if there was sex in the show, I bet they'd keep it in and rate it R or something. Look at Gundam SEED for example, it has sex in it, and it was kept in, mind you, the sex was also not from 'innocent' matters either.
Like I said before, American's anime producers are biased, if the product isn't appealing to them they will alter it and make it to their liking, with the classic excuse: "I needs to be apporpiate"
But hey, sex is apporpiate, and some innocent love is so bad. We live in a weird world XD
