YAY!!! The most I've seen of this is the american dub:Cardcapters, but I still know alot more about it than the dub said(I still get some names confused though) I havn't read anything of the manga and my favorite characters are Yue/Yukito and Meilin Li.(I always fall for the bishonen/beseinen)I also learned alot by watching it in Mexico. Even thou I got in trouble (somtimes) about staying up late.(It came on at 1:00 am) No fav episode.

O___________O Sweetie, what ever copy you have of that horrid dub, please burn it. Go read the two 'seasons' of manga, then check out any kind of sub.

The dub completely tears apart a very cute show and makes it "presentable" for the younger masses...

I admit that the original version is way better. However, if I never watched that dub I wouldn't have known about the show at all. I did like it. I don't think I could sit through it anymore but that was my show. It was not hard to notice that they really did a hack job on it (especially with those Li/Yukito (Li/Jullian(sp?) reactions. I was not blind. I saw what was up.)

In short: The dub was fun while it lasted but it can't touch the original.

My favorite character: Tomoyo. (Madison to english dub fans.) Ah yes. It all started when I recognized Madison as Holly from Monster Rancher. (I liked the voice.) Then I saw the orginal and liked the little obsessed one even more. She was so smart for her age. Honestly, without Tomoyo I don't think Sakura could have made it. That girl bailed her out on so many occasions but Sakura was probably just a tad bit clueless.

My favorite song: Platinum (3rd opening). The visuals to that opening weren't as pleasing as the first opening but the song was beautiful. (Well the part where they show the characters were really cool especially Yukito's scene.)

Even though it was really long...(I can't tell you how long it took to get all 20 dvds)...it was worth it. Once I go through it once I can't really sit through it again anytime soon but it's one of those shows you know you'll go back to. So far I've seen the whole thing twice. You find little new things the second time around. All in all it's a good show.

hahaha... yea dub is a bit scary, but I was introduced to this the same way as lilgumba. I have since obtained every copy of the subtitled version Pioneer has released. (wich is the entire series now) At least they released it as 2 seperate DVDs to keep the japanese version in tact. The english one skipped a few episodes in the begining, so the episode numbering is different.

CCS is a great series, but it gets better AFTER all the monitonous filler episodes where its just the same old capture card after card for a while there. I think the episode count coudve been brought down a bit there, but after Sakura starts to make her own magic, it gets better from there out.
incidentaly I am complaining about too much episodes, yet I was sad when it ended

I found myself wanting more haha

....and that's why we now have Tsubasa.

All joking aside, they could have told us a little bit what happend to the characters after the second movie. We assume we know what really happend but it would have been nice if they solidified it kind of like in the manga from what I read. Then again, the manga was a little different.

Don't call me 'sweetie'.

Excuse me, if the dub is the only reason I would have even known about it. Not all of us have money ya no.

I agree, if it wasnt for the dubbed i wouldnt have bought the original series so in a way dubbed versions serve their purpose ^^ My favourite opening used to be Platinum but now I like "Catch you Catch me" its such a sweet and happy opening. fave characters gota be Li! I think i gota crush on him

Aww i wish they would release some more episodes!! Im so sad it ended.... they gota show more of Sakura and Shaorans relationship develop!!

Catch You Catch Me is a great song too. It's my second favorite OP. It's one of those songs that is really good for just driving down the street or on a bus and get that happy feeling.
