(More customer reviews)As most people know, there are two versions of Cardcaptor Sakura: the subtitled original, and the edit "Cardcaptors" (it seems that editors don't like the idea of females being the main character, because this is the second time I've seen that done). The animation is great. Bright, cute, and colorful. If you're looking for something as a gift for younger children, buy this version. They cut right to the action episodes, so the plot is butchered. There is little character development and it doesn't make sense because they skip so many episodes. For example, it shows Sakura Kinomoto (Avalon?) use Clow Cards that they don't show how she got in the first place. If you want the whole cute thing and the excellent full Cardcaptor Sakura experience, search for the subtitled version and buy it. The main things edited out in this edited version that are in the subtitled version are little bits of cursing, romance, and homosexuality hints. If you're old or mature enough for the things edited out, please do yourself a BIG favor and buy the subtitled version for a long and complete adventure. If you're buying this for young children, buy this edited version. My complaints with the edit are the big personality changes and they cut out some of the best (and funniest) parts. It looks like they cut out big parts of the comedy and cuteness to cut right to the action to make boys want to buy this. Tomoyo Daidouji (also known as Madison in this edit version) is supposed to sound very sweet and innocent, but in this edit, she sounds more bossy and mean at times. Sakura sounds too old and bossy, while she is supposed to sound quieter and less confident. Kero-chan sounds like a cab driver instead of a cute plush-like toy. As I've said before, if for kids, buy this. If you're older and buying it for entertainment, buy the subtitled version. It's worth it just to see the ADORABLE opening song, "Catch You Catch Me", which is a very cute, catchy song. Very much unlike the...strange opening song on the edit. It all just depends on who you're buying this before.
