The heresy that is Cardcaptors.
Takeru:
Hmm, that's a funny scenario to believe. I've never seen the dub myself...
Sakura: *starts swinging on the swing*
Syaoran: *watches silently*
Sakura: I'm bored. So bored, I want to cry.
Syaoran: *stands up hastily*
Sakura: Oh my God, I'm so bored!!
Syaoran: I understand completely.
Sakura: Oh great, now I have to blow my nose, it's so stuffy. Ow, something got in my eye.
Syaoran: *offers Sakura the handkerchief*
Sakura: Thanks.
Syaoran: Don't get gunk all over it.
Sakura: *stands up* Thanks. Can I hug you?
Syaoran: Why?
Sakura: Nothing better to do.
Syaoran: Okay. *hug*
Bah, I bet the dub doesn't even make it that good.

OMG! The dub indeed couldn't even make it sound that good :rotfl: I couldn't have said it better myself *Wow, that's how much I hate "Cardcaptors"*
Cardcaptor Takato:
Forgive me for saying this, but there's actually one scene in CC that I actually thought was funnier than it was in CCS. In the Japanese version of the first movie, Tomoyo rambles on often about how she brought her battle costumes with her for Sakura to wear, so when she finally pulls it out later in the movie, Sakura acts all surprised, even though she really has no reason to, since Tomoyo had been talking about it quite a lot. However, in CC, Madison doesn't mention that she brought her battle costumes at all until she pulls it out towards the end of the movie, so the scene is somewhat funnier in CC becuase you're more surprised that she actually brought her battle costumes all the way to Hong Kong with her, since she didn't mention it any before then. That's probably the only scene that I actually thought was better in CC than in CCS.
Koudanshi:
The only thing I can say about CC is that it had one of the best English opening themes for it's time. That's the odd thing about the anime brought out during that time, is that they all had pretty decent OPs considering that most other American shows... well... didn't. Pokemon had a rather addictive OP as well, and Shaman King is catchy. The worst example would be Digimon... but, we won't go into that.
Also, I know it's normal for people to bash the english versions of shows once they've seen the uncut version, let's reflect for a moment: CC was made for kids, it was basically CCS-JR, so the cutting had to happen to make it as an American children's show. Also, it's difficult to expect kids to read subtitles, and the dubbers did the best they could. I won't say that the cut version of CCS could hold a candle to the real version, but can you argue that it didn't fill the purpose that was set out for it?
If they coulda just gotten rid of those ridiculous sing-song incantations...
Cardcaptor Takato:
Considering that the dub-only CC DVDs were cancelled due to poor sales, I think it's safe to say that it didn't fulfill the purpose it was set out to do, unless its purpose was to be a complete waste of time.
