The reason why it's got that treatment, they try to make it a "boy" anime which it can't be. Demographics can be a bad thing sometimes.

no, they tried to make it into an 'action only' story which CCS isn't (its a Love Story

)

Why wouldn't they like to keep it as it is?

AiKo - A case of bad timing. CCS should have been released around 2002+ now that the influence of anime is more present in the US.

nice explanation ^^ and even if it was released later they still would of cut out some of the blushyness amongst the guys and toned the sakura-tomoyo relationship down

Robin Sena · « **Reply #265 on:** April 29 2005, 12:19 am »

That can be true.

Still though, the difficulty of the anime itself makes it hard to be dubbed.

hm ^^ well i suppose you could think of it, if the english caught your interest then you better check how it really is in the japanese version.. if you know what i mean o.O

Robin Sena · « **Reply #267 on:** April 29 2005, 02:23 am »

True. The timing was just way off. Add the dubber voices to the equation and yikes.

monkey · « **Reply #268 on:** April 29 2005, 02:36 am »

they did kinda learn with the 2nd movie dubs tho, but still in that movie i hated Li's voice, its just whenever i saw Syaoran talking i just thought, "oh my god, Izzy (from Digimon) is in Li's Body" o.O

The reason they cut so much out of Cardcaptor Sakura wasn't because they were making it into an action anime...they just wanted to make it suitable for both boys and girls. That's why the american version opened up with the 'Sakura's Rival' episode - Nelvana wanted to introduce a strong male character (Li) right away, so that it would interest male viwers as well as female.

That's also the reason why some episodes are out of sequence.

*sigh* its a really big shame that they did that

oh my god yea O_O but i didn't actually realise it untill i saw the credits and thought ... isn't he a power ranger o.OI

I agree with you about the whole making it suitable for both genders. I though Li was a strong character in the original series as well, maybe the way the japanese protrayed him was different from the american protraying (i.e. syaoran and yukito). However, making something into what it isn't just makes the whole thing 'bleh'. That's just my opinion.

Oh yeah! Or what about Tai (from Digimon) inside Yamazaki's body, ne? xD

fisah · « **Reply #275 on:** April 29 2005, 02:10 pm »

Hahaha, oh wow, all those recycled dubbers, ne? ^^

I thought the digimon dub wasn't that bad, but than again, I was only 9 >.<

Robin Sena · « **Reply #276 on:** April 29 2005, 08:37 pm »

Anyway, any opinions on the Character Names?

Some are okay, some are... can't describe.

ashleygurl · « **Reply #277 on:** April 29 2005, 08:56 pm »

I think I've mentioned somewhere around here....but don't mind to mention it again....
First of all,

Madison is terrible....Tomoyo's originally name was so much better...Madison sounds totally ridiculous for her...and just entirely different.....
Sakura Avalon....the problem is her surname...it sounds totally weird...like Sakura belongs to some family that knows magic....just weird....and then her father changed the name to Aiden?

It was Even more weird.
Showron...was just oh god...totally annoys me.....what's wrong with Syaoran Li?

Is this name SO hard to read?? lol. I think Syaoran's name was changed in various countries...like Shaolan, Showron, Syaolan....dadada....gah confused.
Yet, the worse of all the names was Eli Moon...it was HORRIBLE. TERRIBLE. Okay so maybe Nelvana was trying to make Eriol sound more 'powerful' like...but i hate that change of name the most...of course i don't like the rest.

Robin Sena · « **Reply #278 on:** April 29 2005, 09:01 pm »

You mean like Julian (Yukito), Chelsea (Chiharu). I forgot the others.

What are the other changes in the scripts?

ashleygurl · « **Reply #279 on:** April 29 2005, 09:11 pm »

loads...even though i haven't exactly watched the US dubbed version of Card Captors...it was popular for changing the whole CCS plot upside down....first of all, the first epsiode was 'Sakura's rival'( the appearance of Syaoran)....i think if i can recall checking out the epsiode lists in some websites...it is like in some kind of a flashback form....it was pretty dang confusing for ppl who were expecting the CCS plot. Moreover, there was NO romance between S+S....nada. Tomoyo and Sakura acted like valley gurls, especially Tomoyo who sounded absolutely snobbish. And all the epsiodes were just mixed up into something that was plain scary. I think this whole dubbed might only be good for laughs.
