CLAMP's Famous Works > Cardcaptor Sakura
The heresy that is Cardcaptors.
Sakaki:
You can get info on some of the American changes and can compare a handful of episodes here:

I remember reading when I first really got into Cardcaptor Sakura, and couldn't believe how they destroyed what they brought to America!
Takeru:
Hmm, some people have been complaining about Eriol's dub name.
Well, if they kept in Eriol's name, then the Americans would pronounce it "Ariel", which is a girl's name. Why they didn't keep the Japanese pronounciation instead? Erioru sounds kinda dumb in American tongue too, and an American would probably pronounce it "Ediodu", which sounds ridiculous. So I'm actually kinda "I don't mind Eriol's name change".
Miss Jenni-Maie:
Yeah, I'm fine with the name change with Eriol, too.
I'm okay with name changes, but when it gets DRAMATICALLY changed like Tomoyo to Madison, that just gets me angry.
But yeah, Eriol to Eli....not that much of a difference, so I'm fine with it.
Or Yukito to Julian [shiver] it's just not right.
The same with Toya to Tori. It's not that big of a difference, even though I think people would be able to pronounce that, I'm kinda okay with it. Nadeshiko to Natasha, Sonomi to Samantha. Naoko to Nikki, Chiharu to Chelsea, Rika to Rita. As much as I don't like English dubbed names in Japanese Anime, those weren't too drastic, so they don't bother me too much.
Robin Sena:
I wish it was released at the right time. I wouldn't mind on the other changes.
Sakaki:
***Well, if they kept in Eriol's name, then the Americans would pronounce it "Ariel", which is a girl's name.***
Actually before I ever heard the name pronounced I just thought Errol.
kinda like air-rel, if that makes sense.
After watching CCS I found Eriol's name easy to pronounce.
I still don't really care for Eli though, but I don't watch the dubs, so it's never bothered me that much! I don't like Tori for Touya though.
I think Tori, and I think of a girl. Touya carries a lot more weight and power than Tori.
