That's the problem though, the show isn't only centered for kids, that's why it's such a problem. CCS was centered for all ages, not just kids. Mind you, even if it was for kids, dont you think they went a tad bit extreme. They took out everything that had some type of emotion and feelings, children who watch the show are going to notice the show can get a tad bit boring is all about catching the cards. The show also shows the problems with Sakura and her life, her family, her friends, her school, her relationships as well. Sakura's life wasn't all about catching the cards, and that's one of the biggest mistakes Nelvana did. Not all animes are about catching stuff, so they shouldn't try to make something that wasn't meant to be.
I agree with you though about how they did gave a effort on how they wanted the show to present it self. They wanted a kids' show, and that's what happened. My only problem though is how they interperted Sakura's life, and especially her relationships with the people around her. Also, I wouldn't mind watching the show if it was in english, and it was well intereperted. I even wouldn't mind the 'Cardcaptors' I'm just angry that they took out everything else that had nothing to do with cards.
