sighs... love is so blind... <--- i think it slightly applies to Sakura in Syaoran's case. :P
i believe that most of the meaning of ccs were S+S. who the heck only just collects cards to save a disaster for the rest of teh people? have the characters no personal lives? ccs wouldnt be so popular if they werent there

It might have been quite some time since I've been here. And the first thing I want to clarify is that I have officially dropped any qualms I have had against Cardcaptors.
I still think that Card Captor Sakura might have deserved better treatment. When it was converted into Cardcaptors, lots of things changed. The whole show became another series. The beauty of that is, it's not Card Captor Sakura. It's Cardcaptors. Before, I used to take two things that spawn from the same source and compare them with each other. But later, I took the time to review what I knew about Card Captor Sakura and its English dub. Then I recompared them. Separately. And I have to make one thing clear: they are BOTH good shows, each in their own right.
Look at it this way. Most people here are familiar with the Harry Potter series. You might have heard of it, or maybe you're a complete fanatic. But the thing is, when I watched the movie for Prisoner of Azkaban, I enjoyed it. A lot. But my friend who accompanied me didn't. Why, you ask? Because of two important reasons. I hadn't read the accompanying book for more than two years. As for my friend, he read and finished it the night before the movie. So, during the movie, his mind basically clicked on and started equating how drastically different the movie was from the book. And it ruined the experience. Me? I just rode along for the ride. I just watched it, and enjoyed it. I didn't think once about the book. You see, that's the problem here. People are comparing one thing to another.
Maybe Nelvana would have been better off making a spinoff of Card Captor Sakura, rather than disappoint its fans by convulting the storyline into their own creation and setting a different purpose for the show than was originally intended. Maybe that would have worked better than dubbing the show. But the only reason why anyone seemed to hate Cardcaptors was because it wasn't Card Captor Sakura. That it was different. What I'm trying to say is, If you took Cardcaptors, put it in one place, and dropped Card Captor Sakura out of the equation, it's still a very good show worthy of much recognition.
Think to the time when you first discovered Card Captor Sakura, in the form of Cardcaptors. Did you still like the show? Most did. When they saw Card Captor Sakura, they basically took the better and threw out the worse, all of a sudden changing their minds about it just because a more powerful object stepped into the limelight. Cardcaptors is still good.
Maybe some people are angry that Nelvana had changed the show so much. But that's what they did. They changed it. They didn't do it to ruin the Card Captor Sakura name. That's what's important.
Maybe this speech might change some minds. Maybe it won't. But this is a message board. One is to express their feelings and beliefs. And I, as the creator of this thread, the most popular thread on the General CCS Discussion thread, would like to say that I no longer see Cardcaptors a heresy, as so states the topic. I only see it as a work of art, one to be discovered, examined, and admired.
That's all I have to say.
D.J.P:
A very good closing statement :D

I pretty much agree with what you're saying in your post, however even though I like CC by itself, I can't call it a work of art. I can't call it a work of art because Nelvana didn't intend it to be. While the changes they made to CC were somewhat creative, they didn't have that thought in mind when dubbing CCS. What they made their changes for was mainly for the sake of aiming the show at boys so they could make more money by turning CC into a Pokemon ripoff. CCS, on the other hand, I can call a work of art. I realize that CLAMP also had money on the brain whenever they make anything at all as anyone does when they make a new story, but they spent more time and effort into creating a quality storyline and characters for CCS. They actually cared more about their work. Nelvana only saw CC as a money-making scheme, a fad that could help bring in the cash, which could also be another reason why so many people hate it. I do like CC; I just don't see it as a work of art.
