Cardcaptors: V.3 Misdirections (ep. 7-9)

These are episodes 25, 26, and 30 of Cardcaptors, the Nelvana dub of Cardcaptor Sakura. They did dub all 70, unfortunately, only 39 were shown on Kids WB (3 of those episodes being 2 combined into one episode, and a clip show that never existed using scenes from Unlocking The Key). Maybe someday, I hope, Nelvana will release all 70 of the dubbed episodes, in order, that'd be great. Anyways, on to the review. This contains some of my favorite episodes. So, I will give a little look into the plots... 1. Double Take There's a girl causing all kinds of mischief around town, and she looks identical to Sakura! When the mysterious girl passes by Sakura and Madison, she senses something strange from it. Kero shows Sakura a different way to use the Clow Cards, trying to identify the card they need to capture and what it's after. Tori runs into the card, and she leads him to fall off a cliff! As Sakura tries to come to the rescue, they run into Li, who also knew it was a card. Will Sakura be able to figure out what card is it? 2. No Way Out Reedington Elementary has a new Math Teacher, Ms. Mackenzie. Li doesn't trust her, he feels there's something strange about her. There are these amulets that are supposedly suppose to give good luck, and Sakura and Meilin want to get their hands on it! So as they go to the stand to get them (Sakura and Madison, and Meilin who dragged Li along), something strange happens. They get trapped inside a maze! Will they be able to find their way out? 3. The Race One night, Sakura and Meilin were out to capture the Dash. Sakura manages to injure it, but they almost get caught and so they have to hide. They decide to capture it later. However, a girl from their school, Jesse, who is on the track team, thinks it's a stray cat and takes it in. The Dash bestows upon Jesse great speed. Sakura sees how it's helping out Jesse, and hesitates to capture it. This was a great set of episodes! I really loved the maze card one. I like when Li took Sakura's hand and said "Let's do this together" and Meilin looks all jealous, LOL! This is an excellent buy, and alot of fun to watch, I highly recommend it!

good anime

i love cardcaptor sakura not cardcaptors. This would be good if it was uncut but it isn't. Uncut dubbing is the way to go. I don't have this ive seen it on tv. I did not like the edited version. When i heard about cardcaptor sakura i was so excited that i could buy the uncut version.

The dvd works perfect, with very little scratches. My daughter just loves the series.

Many people have bashed this disc because it's the TV version and the plot strays from the original. It's true, this is not the same as the uncut format. However, they sell the uncut version of Cardcaptors on DVD seperatley. This is completely seperate. It should be noted that they had to make two seperate sets of discs only because this version of Cardcaptors is edited. Cardcaptors is the US Version of CardCaptor Sakura, as seen on Kids WB and now Cartoon Network (for a short time). This version is in English, while the uncut DVDs are Japanese with subtitles. I bought both versions because I like to see the original, and I liked the version on TV. The dubbing is done by The Ocean Group (Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star, Big O, Saber J Marionettes) and is done very well. Some voices you might recognize are Madison (the same as Lime from Saber J and Meifon from Angel Links) and Sakura's Brother (the same as Zechs from Gundam Wing). I also think that one of the voices of Melfina from Outlaw Star is in here as Li's girlfriend (staring in Episode 6) but I can't be certain on that. Personally I like anime dubbed and Cardcaptors is a refreshing break from ... dubs done for other series (see Escaflowne). So if you like Anime and want to see the original, THIS IS NOT THE DISC FOR YOU. However if you saw Cardcaptors on TV and liked what you saw, I would recommend this disc. Either version, on its own, is fine for anyone of any age, however smaller children would most definetley appreciate the characters speaking in a language they can understand. Do not be swayed by anime purists who say this version is horrible, judge for yourself.

If you dont like the Cardcaptors dub, than I suggest you get this DVD. Though Nelvana did cut it up, this one is most like the original uncut version.

I CANT BELIEVE THEY CANCLED THIS ROCKIN' SHOW! To all you people who forgot Kaho's english name is Layla Makenzie(sp)

Save your money, this one isn't worth it. The dubbing is bad, Sakura sounds like a whiney brat. The story arc and plot are nonexistant because of bad editing (examples: five or so minutes cut from the episodes, eps 1-7 are deleted along with explainations of how it all started, ep 8 is played as ep 1 and ep 43 has become ep 17). Nelvana really messed this up when they decided a little girl couldn't carry the show that was supposed to center around her (I'm not assuming, they've actually said this). If this is for your children and they can read, get them the subtitled version, CardCaptor Sakura. You'll all appreciate it more.
