Cardcaptors is the English adaptation of Card Captor Sakura. While the original version of the show focused on the love & social life of a school girl, the English version attempted to capitalize on the action in the show. The dub produced by Ocean and Kids WB tried to make Sakura something it wasn’t.

Lmao, "the ultimate reveal that Tory and Julien....are actually just cousins" *flashes Neptune and Uranus* lmao
Neptune and Uranus. Also, in this show, being cousins wouldn't stop shipping. I mean, the Kinomotos met when the husband was the wife's high school teacher, and Tomoyo's mother Sonomi Daidouji had a... crush on Nadeshiko Kinomoto, Sakura's mother, and you guessed it, her cousin.
I laughed way too hard at that.
Kissing cousin as usual....🙄
I’m oddly triggered at Neptune and Jupiter lol Uranus and Neptune...can’t wait for that episode
The irony about this is that Sakura and Madison/Tomoyo actually ARE cousins. Lmao
I'm from Latin América (where the dub was pretty good) so this is my first time hearing the names they used in the english dub and I'm completely cracking up
I remember watching it in Mexico when i was in summer vacation and they didn't tone down the romance
Same, in latin america they even kept their original japanese names and opening. And now hearing the american names is just too weird.
@@Wet_bread618 I still watch it every now and then I actually love this anime a lot and it's true they didn't toned down the romance that much which is great bc it's like a major part of the plot haha (por qué hablo en inglés? Jajajaja)
@@malenalombardi4766 si porque hablamos en inglés jajaja yo no recuerdo mucho nomás recuerdo el opening estaba genial
Yo quisiera que supieras cuánto extraño tu presencia aquí
"Madison possible crush on Sakura" Tomoyo being the biggest lesbian on the show after her mom. Sure. "Possible"
Agreed. Are you interested in signing a petition for trying to get Sakura Avalon back? Fans asked me to make it because they understand that Sakura Avalon should have a dub for Cardcaptor Clear Card. Here is the link.
www.change.org/p/hope-for-sakura-avalon
There is also a video on UA-cam called Save Sakura Avalon. ua-cam.com/video/ktveqSNGQyA/v-deo.html
Fans think its time for someone to make another dub that will have Sakura Avalon.
If she does come back it will give the makers more profit, there will be viewers of the sub verison, viewers of the dub by Funimation and then viewers of the Sakura Avalon dub that's 3 different versions of Clear Card and that will make profit for the makers.
If you want to sign the petition, please tell your friends and fellow fans about it too.
I just Tomoyo being a fan of Sakura. It’s cute
But in episode 13 of cardcaptors season 1 it is revealed that Sakura and Maddison are cousins and their moms were sisters .
@@cardcaptortwink You're right. But fans want a Sakura Avalon version of Clear card.
@@motherhoodsbeauty9279 she wasn't a fan. She had a huge crush on her. The whole show had so many "controversial" relationships for the time.
Li isn't awkward and shy, he's very confident even in real life too, he just acts like that cause he has a crush on yukito (julien)
@Lilac Rainbow it's both lol. Originally just Julian but later also likes sakura
@@toriacrouse2449 Yeah he had a crush on both but in the second season he realizes the reason he was attracted to Yukito is because of his magical powers (the same was Sakura had a bit of a crush on the new teacher with her magical powers)
@@Clipped_Angel I was going to say this, lol
and then Touya ends up with Yukito
Edit: Honestly, i love the series, and you have NO IDEA how much i love the latin america spanish dub
its a masterpiece WITHOUT CENSORSHIP
Touya and Yukito are so fucking gay for each other, AND I LOVE IT
Ah... This was a REALLY adorable love triangle. It made bisexual relationships not weird for me.
I was just like "heh Sakura and Li are fighting over Yukito". I love how they always compliment how much of a glutton Yukito is.
MADISON ? DAYUMM even the spanish version kept the original japanese names
The English book is better. I found the series in a library and that’s when I knew about Cardcaptor Sakura and I started liking it.
@@kaseya6342 so manga?
the spanish version is a direct translation.
@Shireen Razak yeah technically
I know right! But what would had been her name if they had changed it? Maria? haha
4kids anime openings are just their versions of AMVs.
You can't change my mind.
you're not wrong
oh my god, you're right, right down to them just splicing together in show footage for the sequence
And Bakugan. It's kinda bad.
Youo got to admit though. They were awesome openings. I much prefer Yu-gi-oh!'s, Beyblade, Pokemon, Cardcaptors, and even One Piece's openings over the original opening.
So what AMV's are a million times better than just listening to music without the beautiful visuals. And like if you're going to make that comment maybe not make it on what is probably their absolute best opening lyricwise, at least if it's not number one it's definitely in the top five I think.
It's so weird that they changed every single name except "sakura" lol. Like why didn't they just go all the way and change her name to samantha or something
There were going to call her Nikki.
My guess is that they realized it would be more trouble than it's worth to edit out all the scenes where Sakura's name is shown on the cards.
@@marissaurias5116 Exactly, and 'every expense was spared' when they occasionally did edit text. There's a scene where Sakura is looking at her Mother's old calendar in the dub somewhere (when she sees her Great-grandfather/Grandfather's birthday is soon?)... The shot of the calendar page itself appears for just 2seconds, but it's plain they hurridly edited the frame to English in Microsoft Paint, _very badly_ . Some copies mercifully leave the Japanese in, but if you find the right (wrong?) copy, it's a truly hideous shot.😬
Weirdly a lot of “hack dub” anime’s weirdly do that sometimes like Yugi and Kaiba kept their names in YuGiOh and in fact the only protagonist to have an altered name in the franchise was Jaden from GX
Okay the “just cousins” bit actually made laugh out loud 🤣 I’ll never forget when I learned that Haruka and Michiru WEREN’T just cousins!
Does anyone else remember the time CLAMP took a bunch of the characters from Cardcaptor Sakura and put them in an actual shonen called Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle?
yeah it was the greatest thing for me at the time until i realised that it's the same characters but different dimension but i still watched and loved the anime as it was
i loved that anime to bad they cancelled it
That anime clearly needs a reboot (and that Manga a reprint in Germany...). I mean, we got Tsubasa World Chronicle too as a sequel but it still has no satisfying ending
Yes it was clamps cross over series, starting Sakura and Li
Read the manga if you're interested in finishing the story! The Manga is LONG, but so worth it. I really hope they reboot the anime, but I highly doubt they will ever be able to finish it without a looot of funding behind it.
Wut? 90% of Cardcaptor Sakura is Sakura crushing on Yukito hard and Tomoyo having a pretty transparent girl crush on Sakura.
I remember shipping Sakura and Eriol when I was a kid. When they revealed Sakura’s Dad was her mom’s professor I remember thinking “wait is that legal?” 🤣 Philippine dubbed version was close to the original compared to the US version
Not completely sure if it is accurate to actual Japanese laws, but in the show, it was illegal that he was dating the student and the school told them to stop their relationship, but they were in love, so instead, Sakura's parents got married while she was still in high school because now they are not dating, they are legally married therefore, a loophole. Which I do know in Japan, legal marrying age for a female is 16 (18 for male).
Yup, Tomoyo loved Sakura so much that she wouldn't tell her about her feelings for fear of making her emotional life more difficult. What with her confused feelings for Yukito and later Syaoron, on top of her magical hero girl duties.
Age of consent in Japan was/is quite low, I think at the time it was unofficially 12. I think it was upped to 14 in recent history. I asked the same question back then and eventually looked it up. of course, the 2 examples in CCS were suggesting that they are simply dating (no hanky panky) and are engaged to be married when they reached the proper age (for japan at the time)
Having read the manga and seen the original, I think 90% is an over-exaggeration. Maybe 20-30% It just seems like more because fangirls were obsessed with the relationships, it's not so present in other stories for the same audience, and also, it's CLAMP.
X has more relationships and stuff in it, but it gets considered an end of the world series... (It's really about fate and all the relationship stuff between the main three characters... oh.. and subaru and his lover). I mean CCS has about as much as Angelic Layer.....(and all these series are CLAMP)
@Pesmerga PavusThe best part is that the Filipino versions didn't touch the soundtrack and theme songs. *Looks at Digimon OP*
@@lostnumbr Actually, it's 13 BUT it's simply a guideline, meaning no prefecture can't set it below 13. Generally, and in practice, they just set it between 16 - 18.
Another part that got cut was Li having a crush on Julian and how he and Sakura are fighting over him. The plot then backed backpedals like crazy, but it did happen.

To this day it amuses me how nonchalantly they said magic energy basically works like pheromones lol
i wouldn´t call it backpedaling, syaoran developed feelings for sakura through the show and started feeling conflicted about it,it really took him sometime to sort out his feelings, is not like he one daywake up and was like "im not gay anymore, i like man no more i like women women women "
Tbf, Syaoran got over his crush on Yukito because he realized he was in love with Sakura. Even if you ignore the explanation on magic moon pheremones (as I choose to do), he spent a whole episode literally in crisis mode because he realized he was in love with Sakura when he thought he was in love with Yukito, and Yue made him realize he actually was in love with Sakura, and wasn't meant to be with Yukito. It's not really backpedaling, my dude's still bi af.
TBH I caught on that Li liked Julian even when watching the old dub as a child. I didn't even know they tried to hide it until many years later, so to me they failed miserably XD
In the manga there was a classmate of Sakura who was in a relationship with her teacher. The teacher gave the kid a ring.
We CCS fans don't talk about that one lol
Yeahhhh I'm glad that story was cut lmao. Didn't one dub change it so that she was afraid of him and learned that he was actually nice or something? That's a much better story imo.
NGL while the homosexual relationships/crushes being cut sucks, I am more than happy they cut the age gap relationships. Just so much gross I cannot get over it why is this in my wholesome magical girl show!?
@@denniswilliams6519 Yeah like the stuff with Sakura and Yukito is one thing because it’s a one-sided crush that a lot of kids tend to have and eventually Sakura finds love with a more age appropriate boy anyway (although YMMV on the idea on underage romance in general) ,but stuff like Rika and Terada makes it so jarring that I have to put trigger warnings when recommending the show to my friends when it’s otherwise very cute and hyper femme. Like I love Clamp, I really do but they are something of a “problematic fave” due to how pro-shippery (for lack of a better word) some of their work can get at times
Thank you. I'm glad someone mentioned this. And it's more concerning when they mention she transfered districts in clear card. Which seems like the school covered it up. And Sakuras dad was her mom's teacher. C.L.A.M.P. has a worrying tendency to include taboo relationships in their works and passing them off as normal. And the fact that their works are targeted at audience too young to understand that is even more worrying
1:10 Sakura was in PRIMARY school during the original series, she’s in middle school in the sequel series Clear Card
sparxstreak02 She was in middle school in the second movie. She is in Junior High
@@DontCheddarTheCheese they made her much much older, kinomoto sakura was in 4th grade on the first 2 arcs and on 5th grade on the sakura card act.
In the clear card act she is 12 years old and i believe she is in secondary school (what you americans call middle school, secondary and high school each have 3 years, instead of 2 and 4 like america does)
@@AtomicBoo she's 13/14 in Clear Card
This is something that these types of dubs did at the time,, age them up for some odd reason.
@@CrimsonNineTail Which is only odder if you think about it. They look young, but we are told they are older. Still happens to this day though, even out side of anime.
I remember when I saw Tangled I thought Rapunzel looked 16 at best, but we are told she's turning 18. Studio's love to just throw in a line about aging a character up to avoid difficult issues.
In Latin America pretty much every anime with the exception of Pokemon, Sonic X and the second half of Yu-Gi-Oh was basically the japanese version in spanish, with spanish covers for opening and endings included, so Cardcaptor Sakura was my thing
@TrueClow Yeah they're actually showing Dragon Ball Super on Mexico right now on Canal 5
@TrueClow They sure do
@@downutshark
For better or worse. 😅
Actualy, i think Saint Seiya 1* version is from France.
My dude! I was just thinking that. I think I was lucky to have been able to watch all the anime in Mexico. No censorship and we got the original intros and songs.
It's great hearing all the Spanish speakers talk about their dub... Im amused, angry, and jealous all at the same time.
Yes we got lucky that back in the day latin america (mainly mexico) handled their dubs themselves for most of the popular animes at the time (pokemon being one of the huge exceptions, we got the same shows as america just with local jokes, james usually make mexican puns all the time).
the brazillian portuguese too, it is golden
Ohh no, the version in Spain was a shitshow. Just hear the glasses (naoko I think?) friend's voice.
The Latin American one is one of the best I've seen. The voices feel so natural and fitting to each character and kero's a fucking flying meme. No joke.
Even if you don't understand what the character is saying, watch this without your ears bleeding.

It's even more amazing how many cosplayers took to the show and tried to make every costume Sakura wore.
The original version didn't have a gay twist couple, IT HAS A GAY COUPLE FOR THE VERY BEGINING
everyone is gay in the original show, even sakura's dad
you can't change my mind
They're not gay, they're just cousins.......very touchy cousins.
CLAMP is pretty infamous for being yaoi fangirls. They got their start with yaoi dounijin
@@supergoron1 and being cousins just make them... not gay?
@@zsopiinha Its a reference to the 4kids translation of Sailor Moon, where they censored a gay couple by making them cousins... and yet they didn't bother to remove a good amount of their romantic scenes
When I started watching the Japanese versions of anime that I watched the dubs of on TV when I was a kid, CCS was the first show I went for since Cardcaptors was one of my favs as a kid. Even if this dub isn't super good as an adaptation of its Japanese counterpart, I still can't help but have a soft spot for it. In fact, I still have my Clow book with all the cards in it, haha.
When I was young in the 90s I always considered cardcaptors a girl's show and as a girl I watched it
I never once even thought of it as a boy show 😂😂😂 I always kind of looked at as a cooler more edgier version of sailor Moon
So in my opinion big fail on trying to market it to boys 😂
Yeah I am a a boy and growing up I definitely viewed cardcaptors as a girls show, I loved it though.
@@zlcoolboy
Lol I wasn't the only one 😆
what were they thinking did they really think they can turn a girl show into a boy show and people would just go along with that😂
I thought of it as a girls show but I loved the hell out of it
kevin4gwen
"Cooler more edgier version of Sailor Moon" 😂😂😂
I mean, that you thought of it as "edgier Sailor Moon" is something, seeing how the original is far lighter than Sailor Moon
This was my favorite back in the day. At my elementary school they would have a period every year where they'd sell books in the cafeteria during lunch. I picked up a book about Cardcaptors and read it a million times. The show was what had me finding UA-cam in its infancy, as someone had posted the fantranslated Cardcaptor Sakura anime there.
Only thing I ever disliked was the relationship between Sakura's one friend and their teacher. A harmless childhood crush is one thing. Having an *adult* man *reciprocate* those feelings and have the story say it's okay because it's a "pure" love (he's not attracted to her physically) is another thing entirely.
I have a petition and a video on UA-cam about getting Sakura Avalon back. Would you like me to send you the links?
You and I lived the same childhood! I still have one of those books, the one on the “Power” Card episode! You also unlocked a memory for me that CCS was part of my discovery of UA-cam in its beginning days as well.
Those fan-translations are what made me realize how different the story actually was in its US butchering. I ended up collecting all of the Master of the Clow manga in high school 😆
I find it very weird growing up in México that all the content we got came only after being in the US for a number of years, but Cardcaptor Sakura was dubbed straight from the Japanese version (the Latin American version of Catch you catch me is iconic) and somehow kept the obvious age difference between love interests and even the homosexual relationships...
It was marketed heavily both to boys and girls with the themes of "love" and "growing up" being central and it's hard to see a 20ish anime fan that doesn't know the lyrics of Catch you catch me...
Yeah. All latin america had much lucky!
I watched a video talking about this. One of the big factors was funding, censoring takes time and money so they didn't touch anything, also in the US they always try to sell toys and for that the cartoons had to be "as safe as posible"
Yo quisiera que supieras .... damn that just came to me, also the names were not changed and it was amazing.

I'm only a couple minutes in but I'm fearing Julian. /Heavy breathing.
That the romance is muted in the dub is a gross understatement. Sakura and Lee are not just rivals for the cards, but rivals in the pursuit of Julians affections. They cut out Lees crush on Julian entirely in the dub, which made him a bit too two dimensional as a character.
This is false. Li has a crush on Sakura and Sakura herself began to develop feelings for Li later on. It was implied that they became a couple when Li returns from abroad.
@@alexanderliew3415ye but li also had a crush on yukito. there’s mulitple sources you can find and clips showing that
Who looks at Clamp and thinks "yes. that's a boy's show"
An exec who is convinced that girls won't watch anime, even though Sailor Moon existed.
Ay ay ay,this anime is not for da boys,this UA-camr did it because he wanted to tell a secret to the boys to not watch cardcapter sakora
I was thinking that too. A girl main character who wore cute pink outfits in every episodes, with plenty of side stories focusing on cooking, friendships, and self-improvement. I guess cause there's that idea that boys tend to buy more toys. (But as Billiam pointed out, the toys were plushies and tarot, not exactly the traditional boy stuff) I'm glad that today cartoons they emphasis that boys and girls can like the show regardless.
4Kids apparently.
To be fair Cardcaptor Sakura as well as most anime in the 90s kinda had a shōnen like art style to it
you could throw in a spiky haired dude in the show and you would easily mistake it for a shōnen anime
Animators in the 90s didn't have a lot of animation technology like today to make the anime look brighter and fluffier like every Shoujo anime in existence
Yeah, in latin america we got pretty lucky. Anime was really big over here, we got pretty decent dubs, and the censorship wasnt has heavy. If I recall correctly the gay undertones were still present, and we got the full series plus the movie dubbed. It was pretty great. It was funny seeing cardcaptor sakura before evangelion on air tv every afternoon.
i used to watch it on cartoon network because i didn't have the anime channel, i mean, i don't know if the anime channel aired everywhere in latin america, BUT THERE WAS AN ANIME CHANNEL. i will forever and ever have a crush on Toya, i just adore him
i just realized recently there was another movie prior to the one we knew , but its really bad so , its ok it never got dubbed
I loved Sakura Cardcaptor as I was growing up.
Tomoyo was so nice!
I'd say CCS wasn't censored at all here in Latin America. You can check some clips like this one: twitter.com/alexnelo/status/1115362204499554304. They made no effort to hide anything in the dub. I am pretty surprised! Most of us don't remember that because as kids we might not have found it weird. Sailor Moon's Uranus and Neptune weren't censored either in the Latin American dub. I would say most censorship issues in our area were in cases when dubbers had to work with content that was already botched by 4Kids or other USA distributor (see Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc.).
The same applies in Portugal, nothing was censored, Toya and Yukito's relationship remains the same, Tomoyo's girl crush is the same. And this also applied to Saint Seya and Dragonball blood and violence remains. And we even got the naked final episode of Sailor Moon and Neptune and Uranus are still soul mates.
Actually Lee and Meilin were actual cousins and was betrothed to each other.
Eh. More like Lee kinda promised Meilin that they would get married in the future if he didn't find anyone that he liked more, but still wasn't having Meilin's affection.
And Meilin was also filler.
10:00 “Li seeing Julien as a rival for Sakura’s affection.” Riiiight. Julien was the rival. lol
The manga was so gay. I'm pretty sure at some point or another every single one of the main characters had a gay crush. It was awesome.
Those women at clamp are like, super duper horny for gay people lol
@@PrincessNine for what I learned. Their policy is that all their characters are Bisexual. Hense why we have love triangles like Sakura and Syaoran liking Yukito.
But atvthe same time they were also pioneers for the Yaoi genre. Hense why earlier Yaoi series have this distinct look that looks like how CLAMP draws their male characters.
@@PrincessNine Well, they literally started doing Slash fanfiction of Saint Seiya and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
In the first manga tome, Tomoyo had an inner monolouge about her crush for Sakura. It was gorgeous.
Meiling was pretty straight though, not Sure about Sakura..
I love cardcaptor Sakura. As a young black boy, it taught me that little girls could be the bravest heroes. And a good stories don't have to be "boy" stories or "girl" stories. Great vid
It's a girl story through and through. I liked it too, but let's not kid ourselves it's a girl story.
@Fernando Alvarado Thank you!
Right on dude, absolutely right. Sakura is one of my heroes. She's a great example of a strong female character. She is both girly and athletic. She's courageous and kind. Even when she's acting a bit wimpy, you aren't annoyed with her, you want to cheer her on, because that's what Sakura would do. I was so jealous of Sakura's athletic ability that I actually took up long distance running and rollerblading.

Flash backs to watching Ojamajo Doremi sub on youtube while Magical Doremi would occasionally play on the TV
God that was tragic. Cardcaptor Sakura is one of the greatest anime of all time.
Or is it?
Yeah it looks fantastic for an anime from 1997, it has an insanely cool art style with harsh lighting and really intense fights like it’s some kind of shonen series! And the slice of life keep themselves interesting too with Sakura maturing over the course of the series which is unlike so many other romantic shows. She actually gets over her crush on Yukito and grows up, and then Yukito goes on to, believe it or not, date her brother! Yay for gay rep, Cardcaptor Sakura was progressive for the 90’s!
Most animes in the US suffered huge alterations and censorship.
Sailor Moon, Yo yo Hakusho, Samurai X, Dragonball... the list goes on.
In Latin America and Brazil, I'm lucky that the studios decided to just dub the original material.
And the dubbing was really good
I'm 31 an still know every word to the show 😂
Yes It is
I haven’t heard the card captors theme song in like 17 years that’s amazing 😂
I have a petition and a video on UA-cam about getting Sakura Avalon back. Would you like me to send you the links?
I was very confused throughout this video. I never watched this version because I'm currently watching the series on Netflix, so I'm watching the translated version that came straight from Japan (with all the original names). I was hoping that you would talk about the weird relationship Sakura's mother had with her friend and how Sakura's mom married her teacher at 16. I also didn't notice until now but Sakura is doing the exact same things as her mom when she was alive. History is literally repeating itself.
Edit: I’m now farther into the series and can confirm that it gets weirder. WHY WAS HER BROTHER DATING A WOMAN SOO OLD. I’m just really confused on this series, is this how people really act in Japan?
That and Sakura's friend/their teacher is just 🤢. She's like 10-12 or something.
Aside from the weird romance shit, I can confirm it's an AMAZING show. Just don't watch the dub.
In the beginning (season 1) the romance got weird af but as soon as season 2 begins, its much better. S3 was just the best seeing Syaoran so flustered around Sakura and Tomoyo shipping them every episode is just amazing.
kalyan hukumathirao It’s not your fault but I think that I’m not going to watch the show anymore now that I have that information. I thought Syaoran was a closet gay, that’s why he didn’t like his fiancée very much? what happened to the guy he liked? I absolutely HATE romance in a show especially ships, I don’t think I can watch anymore if they just start shipping random people together like Sakura and Syaoran.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the entire show was meant to end with Sakura and Syaoran being together (also Syaoran is bi, he barely tries to hide that). Both of them are supposed to be the rivals who end up together- Meiling is an anime only addition and I'm not entirely sure why she was added other than to stretch out the anime, since the anime has a ton of filler in general.
If you don't like romance, the show is only gonna have more of it going forward. As for the creepy age gap relationships, yeah I can't really defend that like, at all... all I can say is that thankfully CLAMP has moved past taking "love is love" so literally and they completely wrote out the relationship between Sakura's classmate and her teacher in the newer sequel. That, and Mizuki was in high school when she was dating Touya (and Sakura's dad was in his early 20s when he got together with her mom), so it's not _as_ bad as it could've been.
@@user-fn8fm7qz1r Nah, since you ain't gonna watch the show I'm just gonna tell you everything now.
Basically Syaoran threw his so called "fiancé" out the window was because she never really existed in the mangas. She was just added to make the Syaoran and Sakura thing. The reason why Syaoran wasn't gay and was attracted to the other older boy was because that boy was some sort of magical being. Syaoran couldn't sense it at the time and thought that he was having a crush, when in reality he was just attracted to the guy's magic power.
CLAMP has this kind of thing for "older boy X younger girl" ships so, if you are a fan of them ur gonna have to face more. Meiling (fiancé) was just added to make the ship go forward more by the end of the show. If you don't like the teacher X student thing I don't think you would like the manga where the teacher just straight up PROPOSES to the 10 yr old girl. If you do change your mind, just skip to around episode 20-25 since the weird teacher stuff is removed around there. There is still hints of it, but ya know, not in your face. Clear card (sequel of CCS) takes out the teacher's lover (Rika) and they also remove the teacher (Terada)
Clear card if u ask me was just pretty useless, watch it if you feel bored, but that's all to it. Mainly Syaoran and Sakura episodes. It's cute seeing them together but honestly, there isn't any plot progression at all.
Dubbers: "Hey, you know this show, one of the most iconic Shōjo series ever created? Yeah, let's remove half of it, poorly adapt the second half and market it as a shōnen"
10/10 idea right there
Actually the dubbed all 70 episodes. I think it's the US broadcaster who butchered the order and re-edited the dubbed version as they please.
It wasn't dubbers. it was actually a licensers. so because cardcaptors was a licensed by WB they changed everything just like how 4kids licensed Tokyo mew mew, one piece and magical doreime and changed everything. It all depends on the studio
But it was a shonen. I can't stand you japanese sub purist. Go watch your sub version and quit bitching
@@Robopitkokopeli dude it's a shoujo anime. Wtf are you talking about. It's a magical girl anime like sailor moon and Princess tutu which are both shoujo anime.
@@Robopitkokopeli Shounen and Shoujo refer to their publication and not "genre". CCS was literally published in a shoujo magazine called Nakayoshi thus it is a Shoujo series. It's basically the same shit as with YA novels.
Cardcaptor Sakura is my fucking jam. Best magical girl show.
Cardcaptors, on the other hand, was all downhill after the admittedly awesome theme song.
Same here
Agreed.
Clear Card is weird though.
@@Nuclearburrit0 personally i can't figure out why Clamp made Clear Card not a fan of it.
@@MrBlazGuy cuz they wanted a sequel. If they actually finish it and it's good then I'll be happy. Otherwise I'll ignore it.
@@Nuclearburrit0 fair enough
I watched Cardcaptor Sakura on Netflix. And I NEVER knew there was another dub. Btw that’s from Canada
Fans are trying to get the one from Canada back?
While i hate how the heavily edited the show, the original CardCaptors dub (Canadian) was the superior dub IMO - maybe that's because it's what i grew up with but i liked that they made them sound a little older/more mature. I had issues getting into the sub due to the very young high pitch voices
I legit loved Cardcaptors when I was kid, I still enjoy it to from a nostalgic standpoint.
Growing up with the cardcaptors and being so used to those actors. Then watching cardcaptors redub and clear card the voice actors is soo different that tbh it kinda turns me off by it
The cousins joke is funny cuz tomoyo and Sakura are cousins lol
Actually yeah, their mothers were cousins and even Tomoyo's mum had a crush on Nadeshiko. Like wtf.
@@wangxian_ Yet anime fans cant seem to grasp why US tv would've edited out incestuous crushes. -_-
and tomoyo had a crush on sakura
@@KhayJayArt if you see the OG version you will get why those crushes dont become real things
W I N C E S T
Atually, Lee kinda has a crush on Julian/Yukito too.....
There’s actually a reason as to why Syaoran was always blushing when he was close to Yukito. I think it was because their magic energy is similar (due to Yukito also being a guardian of the clow cards) he felt attracted to him. It wasn’t romantic attraction tho, it was more like “this person has similar interests as me” kinda attraction if that makes sense.
@@goguirina9178 but they find that out way later so in the midtime is treated as a crush /krispnatz voice/ questioning boys RAPRASENTATION
NotAName well yeah, but it’s not a crush. While it is kinda treated like that, it ain’t a crush. Op was saying that he had a crush, on that it was treated like that.
@@goguirina9178 okay, but it was still implied that it was and treated like one until it was revealed otherwise. it was adorable either way.
Stephanie Scarlett Carranza Alday it actually was a crush, but it was caused bc Lee has mostly a moon alignment and Yuu is the moon guardian
Yep, and in the japanese, “Tori” is in love with his best friend (Sakura’s crush), Julian (Yukito). But all the lgbt elements were removed because...The 90’s Christian moms.

Mew Mew Power / Tokyo Mew Mew When? Seriously! It's time bro.
YES! PLEASE!
Yes!!!!
Omg yes
OMG YES PLEASEEEEE
OMG! AGREED!!!!!
When I was a kid waching the Spanish version, I was super confused if Sakura brother and Yukito was a real thing or just my imagination. I was small so no idea about world yet. 🥰😋
Did you watch it in Spanish? :0
Amazing!
Madison never posted her videos online; she kept them for her-own private viewing pleasure, gushing over Sakura, loaning tapes to Kero so that he, likewise, could gush over his-own "heroic" stature...
"I mean, how do you fight a maze?! ....They try"
It doesn't work.
At least not in this anime!
Watching Cardcaptors in English was weird.
If you watched it in North America, you only got half of the 70 episodes that were made.
If you watched it in Canada or England, you got the Full 70 episode run, though still heavily edited.
There was an uncut English dub of the show shown on Animax, and I think this is the dub that Netflix currently has.
The theme song for the English dub is super nostalgic.
sakura, she is a girl-a......
Abhi Rao Omg, I’m so happy Netflix added the animax version of that, I grew up watching the animax version, and i’m so grateful, CCS has probably one of the best anime score, sometimes I have the ost on shuffle, some of them are so soothing
I remember watching the CITV broadcast of the show as a kid, and I fell in love with it. It was marketed pretty differently over here than the US, in fact I heard that despite the US and UK having the same dubbing cast, different edits to the visuals and dialogue were made for the US, UK, Australia and Canada, with the UK version being the most elusive
That’s why people hate Kids WB for this
This was literally my favourite show when I was younger. I forgot out for for years and when I remembered I couldn’t believe I forgot.
United Sates clearly killed Cardcaptor Sakura... thanks god I got to enjoy the Spanish version instead!
I saw the French version. I think the only thing I found weird about it was the opening song they chose. If you're curious, search around for it on youtube. It's by this French (I think) popstar and, well, it's pretty surreal.
Omg digo lo mismo😂
FoxBox.
I read the books and it’s SOO much better I didn’t even try watching it after this 🤮
Thank God I enjoyed the Brazilian Portuguese version of it.
-Also, her brother knew that the mirror card wasnt his sister. And she was like his protector
-Clow Read was her classmate WHO LOOKED JUST LIKE CLOW READ BUT WAS A YOUNG VERSION OF HIMSELF.
Been watching a lot of your videos on these old forgotten anime shows and every time I can’t believe I suddenly have memories of watching all of them almost every time. Love the nostalgia, great video series!
The changes made to One Piece by 4Kids were mostly hilarious so I couldn’t be mad
Ok but like
Cardcaptor's dub was weird
Sakura Cardcaptor tho? Blessed
Sailor Moon: They’re cousins
Me: *In The South* Ok
LMFAO
Saw the episodes dubbed after learning about Lunatic Party. Suuuuuuuuuureeeeeeee.............
I watched this in Filipino dub as a child and they kept the original names so it's weird knowing what they did to the dub back then. Also, the cousin joke was funny cause it's heavily implied in the original that Madison/Tomoyo has a crush on Sakura who is her cousin and her mom is also in love with Sakura's mom who is her cousin. And cousin marriages are ok in Japan, if I remember correctly. Li and Meiling are also cousins even though they are engaged (I guess maybe that's one of the reasons why she's just introduced as Li's friend?).
I started watching the series (not the adaptation) after I saw your video and I AM OBSESSED! Thank you so much for pointing this amazing show out to me!
Same here. It's because of this video that I'm sucked into Cardcaptor Sakura.
Omg i didn't knew about this, what the hell were they thinking? I grew up with the latin america one and they kept all of the original material, maybe they changed words to make the romance between touya and yukito (Julian and tori in this weird one) less direct but it was so obvious
This show is not that much about the magic but the characters and love, there's a ton of romance and the first time syaoran appears he thinks he's in love with Yukito when it ended up bein just stuff about his powers , but it made me think a lot when i saw it, back when my family wasn't so open about lgbt issues, sakura card captor is such a lovely show is pure is funny and it gaves good vibes, the thing that hurts me the most is that they changed the openings, because the originals are SO good!
To everyone who grew up with that dub and didn't saw the original material you guys should, even if some details aged a bit badly (mostly with some of the couples) the series is such a good trip and here in latin america is super huge, going to the point where fans asked a dub for the 2018 season and they're gonna do it! With a 90% of the original voices
same in french, there was no change
For people like me. lol
Escuchar sobre casos como el de este doblaje, me hace sentir bastante agradecida por los doblajes latinos.
Also, I feel Toyko-mew mew also got the 4kids tv treatment
"holywood mewmew" lol
It was baaaaaaad
Mew Mew Power, right? I had a feeling that the localization was trying too hard to be like Power Rangers with that name...
and they lost the right after episode 24 or 25 lol
"Mew-mew style, mew-mew grace. Mew-mew power in your face!" Lol. 😂
Man you always get those deep pulls from my childhood like I completely forgot this was a show but the moment I saw that wand It all came flooding back
It’s rough. I love the entire cast for the Cardcaptors dub, I think every character was picked cast perfectly. I just wish it didn’t have so many changes and censorship’s so I could go and watch it again.
Nelvana did dubbed all 70 episodes
@@dwainsimmons3447 That is true, although I heard some episodes were stitched into other episodes due to lacking action (which I think Kids WB! wanted).
I cringe everytime you say Madison.
Tomoyo for life
Madison is less gay so she's automatically inferior
@@sarafontanini7051 Agreed
Or JULIAN lol😃
Isn't Madison her last/family name? Then the name makes sense as a last name seeing Japanese mannerisms tend to call people on their family name.
@Seatux Her full dub name was Madison Taylor.
I watched Cardcaptor Sakura as a kid. I was shocked when I tried out the dub. Bangin theme though. Right up there with Shaman King
Oh careful now, next you'll say literally anything made by 4kids is/was good.
And that's not true. They are evil incarcerate. (Yes that's hyperbole but only slightly)
I remember first watching CardCaptors when I was younger, and the first episodes I saw were for The Create and The Silent Card.
I then got really excited when I saw there was a “book version”/ the original manga. I was around Sakura’s actual age at the time (10-12) so i was so happy to see a series where the hero was a young girl like me.
While the CardCaptors dub is…not very good, I still think Madison and Kero were the best parts in that dub. Considering how in the original series, Tomoyo has this gentle, mature nature about her, and Kero is supposed to have, in Japanese, an Osakan dialect or at least have a voice that’s not typical of an small mascot, I thought the CardCaptors dub typecasted their voices really well
Dont mind me just marking an old series
Yeah, I remember watching the English adaptation when it aired on Kids WB and at some point I realized that they were leaving out a lot of episodes (as a kid, I just thought that it was that I had missed the days that they had aired). So a couple of years ago, I watched the subbed Japanese version and my, oh my, it is a very different show!
Thanks Brazil for not changing the story and doing a great dub
Amén, irmão. 'Cé loko. Essa versão que os gringos tiveram é muito bébada véi '-'
Nossa com certeza! Tivemos sorte de não terem tirado de vez os romances, minha vida não teria sido a mesma sem uma crush no yukito kkkkkk

@@douglasw10 Tivemos sorte dos estúdios de dublagem aqui manterem os animes inalterados e sem censura; sem falar das dublagens de alta qualidade.
Yo Yo Hakusho, Samurai X, Sailor Moon, Dragonball...
One change from the original manga I fully support is the fact one of sakura's classmate's is no longer dating her teacher. It was hinted at in the anime version, eradicated in the dub.
You're talking about Rika right ? God that was so weird...
@@kerckmars She was like...16 at the time right ? CLAMP what the hell ?
Yeah, I can definitely say I had no problem with the dub taking those liberties. Japan's got some weird interests and I'm glad those particular elements didn't carry over to the dub.
Please do not let a Kero into your house. He WILL break into your fridge and you will wake up with no more food. Be responsible.
wowow I was a young boy once and I used to love this action show. I was happy they continued it with Clear Cards but I was SOOO confused at why they "changed the formula" and made it into like a slice of live romantic anime LMAO. Now I know why..omg I love this channel lmao
Also, my jaw legit dropped when you slapped Angewomon!
How could you do such a thing ?
He's a monster!
(And not even a digital one)
All Cardcaptors made me want to do is go watch Cardcaptor Sakura; I despise heavily edited anime. EDIT: stay safe during the storm, bro
Thank you for making this video, I completely forgot the name of this show and yes I did watch the english dub version of this show. The time loop episode is the one that has stuck in my mind all these years. I may even go back and watch all of the show to enjoy it fully.
I’m really thankful that the translation in Spanish was so good and they kept the original names for all the characters
Cardcaptor Sakura (the Japanese version) was a great adaption of the original manga. They actually added a lot of great new content that gave some incentive to read the manga as well as watch the anime. The new content added didn't change the overall story or anything as well so it was still a very faithful adaption. There were some great new Clow Cards added, including the three that you mentioned you liked: The Time, The Shot and The Dash. Meiling was also an anime only character, but I think she was a great addition to the show. Also, in the anime they gave Syaoran some of his own Clow Cards, which didn't happen at all in the anime but was still a fun thing to add. Ccs was a great adaption of the manga, it's a shame that Cardcaptors didn't translate it more faithfully.
I was surprised when I discovered that Meiling was exclusive to the Anime. She brings a lot of tension and balance sometimes
Really do remember becoming a huge fan of Meiling after warming up to her - even if it took a while, I'd say~
You're right though - I guess one problem I felt about CCS-anime is that latter half (Sakura Card-arc) felt teensy bit sluggish in pacing at times, perhaps due feeling more filler-y, which can be felt on the recurring characters up to that point next to newly introduced ones (Eriol, Suppie and Nakuru).
@@KonaKonaKaabisteru The Sakura Card arc actually feels like it has more overarching plots going on for me. The mystery about Eriol and the new development between Sakura and Syaoran were great. Also, the second movie was a satisfying ending to everything.
The reason for that is because Clamp themselves took heavy part on the adaptation. They didnt just license the manga to some animation studio no npo no, they went to oversee the production of this show and because of that even with the changes made, it keepa the spirit of the manga intact.
Its of the greatest examples of why creators should take part on adaptations of their own works.
Sakura Avalon? Thanks God I live mi childhood in Mexico with the most accurate translation and dub
agreed
So sorry you missed out.
actually no, we watched the real thing
A weeeeeebooo
When I was young I didn't even think twice about the Japanese names, I loved that most Latin American dubs where translated from the Japanese original. Greetings from Tijuana !
Loved Cardcaptors as a kid, of course didn’t realize how much they actually left out until recently. Watching the new dub now
I vividly remember watching the Time Card episode as a kid. Couldn't remember the show name or any of the characters, but the plot of that episode stuck with me for years. I finally found out what it was from while in college and watched the original subbed. Finding out how much was changed, left out, or re-ordered made me glad I could only remember that one episode and watching the original was like a brand new experience.
Can you plz do a video on Mew Mew Power/Tokyo Mew Mew because lol 4Kids
Yessss 👏👏👏
^ exactly this.
Oh gawd, just like the 4kids dub of one piece, Yu-Gi-Oh (basically anything anime) they can die in a 🔥.
Mew Mew power is really horrid though. Much like Netflix's " glitter force" aka pretty pretear they gutted the Japanese aspects as much as they possibly could (notice how Tokyo was removed from the title) they removed the "eco" plot of the villians for some generic bad guy BS and just made everything worse than the original.
Please!!! The 4kids adaptation messed me up after I saw the original
I never heard of that anime lol
Madison was the best character. She had the Style, the Funds, the the cinematic knowledge, and she kept it as secret. There ive drove up engagement
heck yeah! thanks
Billiam due to an inability to add photos/memes to comments please imagine that instead of this reply there is a photo of surprised pikachu as this result was unexpected
If you ever get to watch CLEAR, Madison/Saionji is pretty upfront about the filming Sakura thing. She's even got drones and making Cereberus a living drone.
I had forgotten the "her website" conceit for the dub... it's just intricate home video in the original. For herself to watch later in her home theatre. Much easier to keep a secret

What DID Miami Mike do at DragonCon? I must know!
One Google search later: Huh. Guess it wasn't that bad.
What was it?
@@tachobrenner i just looked it up. Basically at one dragoncon Mike was trading some anime merchandise to this dude (ctenosaur) for some anime fansubs and then started selling the copies of the fansubs at his store.

Looked it up too: Selling Fansubs was kinda taboo back then, but this Ctenosaur group did it and blamed others for doing it as far as I know.

On English dubs, everyone always bashes the digimon adventure dub, but I think it’s really endearing most of the time.
I loved the show as a kid and still adore Matt Hill's performance as Kero to the point where I feel like I'd just be heartbroken to watch the newer dub without him in it.

There was an ad right after you knocked down angewomon... and I’m glad. I needed a moment
I watched this as a kid, and have been watching the original version recently on Netflix. It’s an absolutely lovely show, it’s even actually made me cry a couple times.
And I adore the intro song, I listen to the entire song every episode.
Hooo boy we're talking about one of my favorite shows time to break in a wall of text
I didn't watch Card Captors growing up as a kid, but god it was one of the first animes I ever watched in full. Growing up we had all the Sailor Moon VHS tapes, but like half of them were in french for some reason. I'm a guy, so "girly shows" were embarrassing to talk about in elementary school so I just stuck to talking about Digimon. I always watched those tapes with my older sister though, I still have them today.
In 6th grade I joined my middle school's anime club because they advertised Sailor Moon on one of the posters. There, I was introduced to anime forums and all sorts of the popular shows back in 2011. On one of those forums I read about Card Captors, and decided to watch it.
I was 12, and I vividly remembering watching Card Captors off of those UA-cam channels that broke the episodes into like 3 minute sections - at 14 I watched CCS and felts kinda cheated in the end. The plot was good, different but good. I didn't hate the dub, I still don't, but the original seemed so much deeper and emotional. I kinda view them as different shows completely.
Card Captor is always gonna be something special to me because it was something that introduced me to a whole new world and new online friends that are still around today. When Clear Card got released, I knew I had to rewatch all of the original CCS first and I got that same nostalgic feeling you get watching childhood cartoons. It's not the same nostalgia I get from Sailor Moon, but it sure is gonna have a special place in my heart - dub and sub alike.
I'm glad to hear you're gonna be watching CCS in full now, but be sure to check out Clear Card too if you're interested! It adds onto the original plot and gives a lot of good character interactions that the original show left somewhat unfinished.
I loved Carcaptors actually. Then when I got older and the internet, I watched it in Japanese. It introduced me to *Maaya Sakamoto* songs! :D
I really enjoy the content of you, every video you upload seems so nostalgic; from toys, movies, and even one of my favorite anime when I'm a child... reminiscing of the past. I remember I used to ask my grandfather to made me a "Sakura Wand"... and Tomoyo ohhhh Tomoyo here in The Philippines she was called Tomoyo. So much memories brought by your videos. Please don't stop on what your doing :)
This was such a big part of my childhood, but trying to watch it again is impossible. The voice acting, the reworking, the de-gaying, etc etc.... No. I prefer to remember it fondly and not ruin that nostalgia rewatching it. So I'll stick with the original version now. 😁
I watched CC as a 5-year-old. It was my first anime and remains to be one of my favorites, despite my preferred genres being shonen anime. I had no idea it was marketed towards boys. I watched it a second time but as the original Japanese dub. I did so because the new Clear Card season was happening. Clear Card is kinda lackluster (and albeit shallow) compared to the original.
And Kero is my homeboy, too.
CC was made to appeal to boys as well as girls. People shit all over CC because it's not like the original bur it's pretty good if you look at it as it's own thing. I like to think of CC as an adaptation rather than a dub since so much was changed.
Kero is indeed the best.
billiam:did you watch card captors growing up?
me:(theme song blast in my head). never heard of it
I remember watching cardcaptor, sailor moon, digimon, and my all time favorite Mon Colle Knights. They aged soooooo well and I still love it.
I remember when I was 11 I saw the first dvd of the pioneer release and I had a HUGE wave of nostalgia for a series I had completely forgotten about. Idk how I forgot. A friend's brother had the card set and even MADE THE STAFF and let us play with them all the time. I grew up in love with that show and had somehow forgotten about it entirely until that fateful day.
