Cardcaptors Was Weird (A Dub's Genre Confusion) | Billiam

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.

"Madison possible crush on Sakura" Tomoyo being the biggest lesbian on the show after her mom. Sure. "Possible"

[@jameslevy8347]

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 KZbin called Save Sakura Avalon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaXZlqSJg6yEr6M 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.

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_ .

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

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.

Tbf, Syaoran got over his crush on Yukito because he realized he was in love with Sakura.

[@kevineusebio]

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

[@Jeetaruey]

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).

[@lostnumbr]

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)

[@SerifSansSerif]

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)

[@SiRenfield]

@@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

[@AllyshaNoelle]

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

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.

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.

[@Jakeoffski]

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.

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...

Here is the link. www.change.org/p/hope-for-sakura-avalon There is also a video on KZbin called Save Sakura Avalon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaXZlqSJg6yEr6M 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.

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!

[@user-fn8fm7qz1r]

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?

[@VioletsOnMars]

That and Sakura's friend/their teacher is just 🤢. She's like 10-12 or something.

[@sophiie.837]

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.

[@user-fn8fm7qz1r]

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.

[@Commenter839]

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.

[@sophiie.837]

@@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.

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

The thing is there's a lot more censorship happening in CCS, and it's not just about the homosexual tension. There's a CLEAR pedophilia relationship in CCS too, where one of Sakura's classmate (who is clearly under 10 yo) has a relationship with their teacher who is clearly 20+ yo, and CLAMP make sure to show that the feelings were mutual. Not to mention Tomoyo who clearly have a romantic feeling towards Sakura too. All and all, I think this adaptation is why CLAMP is now very strict on their no censorship policy. If anyone wants to adapt their works, CLAMP is making sure the adaptation won't be censored in anyway. And if the company that adapting their works cannot agree to that, they won't let their works be adapted at all.

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.

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).

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.

[@acanthus_moon]

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 KZbin 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.

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. 😁

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.

Sakura Avalon? Thanks God I live mi childhood in Mexico with the most accurate translation and dub

[@tsubasasupremo]

agreed

[@KhayJayArt]

So sorry you missed out.

[@tsubasasupremo]

actually no, we watched the real thing

[@marcosperez1283]

A weeeeeebooo

[@CarlosAlejandroCarbajalSolorio]

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 !

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

[@billiam]

heck yeah! thanks

[@shafayetahmed6955]

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

[@Seatux]

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.

[@kaitlyn__L]

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

[@jameslevy8347]

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 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’m really thankful that the translation in Spanish was so good and they kept the original names for all the characters

I used to watch Cardcaptors every day here in NZ. The idea of it is what interested me. At that time Pokemon, Digimon, and Tamagochi were very popular, so another show about capturing magical beings and using their powers naturally appealed to me. At the time I also played video games with similar concepts, like Azure Dreams, Monster Rancher, and Magic the Gathering. I remember how in some episodes Sakura would have a Card that was never shown before, and wasn't really explained very well either, as to how she captured it. The shoe definitely became more enjoyable when Li and Mai appeared, adding a new dynamic in the action. Now Sakura has to prove to the Clow Cards that she's worthy of them. I also at that time noticed that Madison gave signals. Just the way she fluffed around Sakura and talked about her in the outfits, sounded like, to 10 year old me, something I would say to someone I liked as well. If they tried to hide that about Madison in the English adaption, then they did a terrible job about it.

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.

[@KhayJayArt]

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.

[@satyasyasatyasya5746]

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

[@mitchellalien]

Had you told me about this show earlier today, I'd have said I'd never heard of it, but its all coming back to me now!

[@oddlang687]

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!

[@evanbrooks1926]

On English dubs, everyone always bashes the digimon adventure dub, but I think it’s really endearing most of the time.

That's often how they pronounced that name in dubs for a long while.

[@somescrub885]

This reminds me of when my sister was going through her anime phase, and my dad would pronounce Naruto "Nay-Roo-Tow". He also called her gourmet ramen "ray-min pride."

[@korreaction7296]

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 :)

[@noassimplemath8695]

2000 Anime fans are treated like 2020 KPop fans. Both are great. Almost every foreign entertainment follow the same trend of slow adaptation by the masses in the West.

[@TheSlipperyNUwUdle]

I would say it’s closer to early 2010s kpop fans. I’ve met fans of Kpop that have known about it since the really early 2000s.

What DID Miami Mike do at DragonCon? I must know! One Google search later: Huh. Guess it wasn't that bad.

[@tachobrenner]

What was it?

[@widdleana7961]

@@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. The original dude found out and added it into I believe one of the animes thus making this entire Miami Mike meme

[@tachobrenner]

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.

Can you plz do a video on Mew Mew Power/Tokyo Mew Mew because lol 4Kids

[@cutiepie120048]

Yessss 👏👏👏

[@alchemicalvapour8950]

^ exactly this.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

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.

[@Mary-fy8qi]

Please!!! The 4kids adaptation messed me up after I saw the original

[@lkskun]

I never heard of that anime lol

[@kalum312]

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.

[@pocketchia374]

I never watched the og dub, but I like that they downplayed the weird age gap romances. They always make me so uncomfortable >_>
