Here's Amazon's listing for it. Looks like list price is $39.95, but only available if they find a used copy for what you are willing to pay. (Using links like this one, though, are very much buyer-beware, so I would probably wait a bit longer to see if a convention dealer might have one.)

Oh, that's the original one by Kodansha! It's better than the english release, i'm sure of, but i don't like how the Clow book is pink when it's supposed to be red.. (or is that because it might have been pink in the manga?)

I'm planning on going to the Anime Mid-Atlantic (which happens to start the same day i get out of school.. @_@) and one of the Vendors might have something there, so i'll look!^^

Umm..alot of the ones i was thinking of got mentioned already. I can't think of anymore.. @_@

The Cardcaptors version was on Kids WB for the 1st season, but I didn't see much about the 2nd season. I think they didn't finish the 2nd season on Kids WB, but kicked it "upstairs" to Cartoon Network at some point in the initial airing.

I had wondered if any of the channels out there (particularly those with Geneon/Pioneer affiliations, like [as] or Encore) were going to try and carry the original Cardcaptor Sakura at some point. It'd be interesting to at least see The Sealed Card pop up on Encore Action some night out of the blue.

I wouldn't count on seeing the original version on US broadcast anytime soon. The show has a lot of themes which, while common and harmless in many anime apparently tend to upset alot of people.
1 - Tomoyo's crush on Sakura (it's girl girl though, so maybe..)
2- Her brothers 'relationship' with Yuki.
3 - Her friends crush on their teacher, and his inability to deal with it.
4 - Little girls as the main character, without being all butch and tough.
5 - Little girls home alone while the single parent works, apparently without any emotional scars from being alone.
6 - Her brothers 'ahem' relationship with his past teacher
7 - The brash boy who actually seems to like Yuki
8 - The brash boy, who isn't the main character

There is probably more.. but that should be sufficient

Not only that, the uncut TV series is sub-only which pretty much kills any potential of being on TV (unless it premieres on International Channel or something).

I never thought of that. It's still better than 80% of the stuff that I see though.

A good question on that issue: Why wouldn't the sub-only version be aired? It would just be like watching any other foreign film.

In context, what is the difference between anime being aired Japanese with Subtitles and other Asian films that are sub-only and aired on cable all the time?

Cardcaptor Sakura is one of my favorite anime. But I think Nevada made it horrible!!! The dub wasn't cute as CCS was suppose to be. They made it into something like Pokemon, which is okay but CCS isn't suppose to be LIKE THAT. CCS is a cute series that usually attracts girls mostly, some guys as well, but the majority is girls.
What made me so mad was when I heard Sakura's english voice. I seriously wanted to gag, she sounded like some spoiled,prissy brat. When in Japanese, her voice is sweet and adorable!! Another thing, I hated how they cut all the SakuraXSyaoran parts. That's what the sub all boy-ish like. It pissed me off. I mean, boys at my school were into "Cardcaptors" when they liked Beyblade and more boy-ish anime.
And that, was a sign. I stopped watching Cardcaptors immidiently when I found out about the REAL CCS. Luckily, in Mexico, they aired the Japanese version. No episodes were deleted, no scenes, they even had the original openings and endings (except the language was in spanish of course). So, go Mexico!
The series already ended in Mexico quite a long time ago. Plus, they also aired the 2 movies on Cartoon Network (in Mexico). Nothing was taken out, it was all how it should be. And the spanish voices weren't that bad, not at all actually. Sakura's remained sweet and nice as it should be and Tomoyo's was high-pitched as well.
Cardcaptors should have NEVER been aired in my opinion.
