The code to make a spoiler in a comment or text post body is: !Spoiler goes here! Hi i'm planning to watch this series because I've heard the sequel is really good? Anyway I would like to know if the ENG dub decent? I know sub is always better but some dubs are quite good like, Steins gate, Cowboy, Akira, Wolf Children and some others I can't think of right now;) Also what is the series like?
Is it childish? Is it like couple eps she defeats villian and they rinse and repeat? Is there a plot and story?
If I miss anything important please tell me also no SPOILERS PLEASE thank you:) Appreciate the help. Oh and why do people love this series so much?? Alright, lots of questions here.
The Japanese audio is far, far better in this case, but I've heard from others that the English dub is serviceable. If you do listen to the English dub, be sure you are listening to the redubbed version.
The original English dub should be called Cardcaptors (not Cardcaptor Sakura) and it is horrible because it censors topics and changes the story. There is a plot to the story, but it's long running. Most of the series works on an episodic basis that has consistent character development throughout.
The show is loved because it's considered to be one of the best magical girl series of all time. It can be enjoyed by children because of the simple to understand plot and interactions. However, the show isn't childish and can also be enjoyed by adults as well because of the mature handling of topics such as familial, platonic, and romantic relationships. Huge dub fan here and I couldn't stick with the Animax dub included on the NISA BD's/Crunchyroll. The voice acting in Cardcaptors was good but changes the majority of the content. The 2nd movie had a pretty good dub but is inconsistent with everything else released in the US.
I am looking forward to how Funi will handle the dub for the new series. The series is childish though it is a kids show.
It is mostly a monster of the week type show but does have a slow building overarching story similar to Sailor Moon. It also has a solid ending.
Originally Cardcaptor Sakura was consciously aimed at young Japanese girls. The female lead, her relatable personality, her costume changes, and the focus on young romance were all stereotypically aimed at a young female demographic. The series began as a manga and was adapted into a 70-episode anime television series by Madhouse, airing in Japan from 1998 to 2000. During this period, Japanese animation was beginning to break into the American market and adventure series aimed at boys were most popular. When Nelvana re-commissioned the show for American audiences, it was shifted to fit into what was perceived as a more lucrative market. Cardcaptor Sakura became Cardcaptors.
This removed the gender-specific focus to appeal more to American boys, who showrunners thought would not watch a program with a icky girl’s name in the title. Desperate to overhaul the perception and audience of Cardcaptor Sakura for Cardcaptors, the American version even changes the theme music and introduction.
The original Japanese opening sequence and credits are backed by a couple of different songs. The soundtracks are all upbeat, cheerful numbers, sung by sweet female voices. In contrast, the new American version features a more aggressive song, sung by a male vocalist. The visuals are also changed from the slice of life, cutesy school visuals to focus more heavily on scenes of fighting and adventure. The themes of love and young life are replaced with adventure and conspiracy. It is unusual for censorship to try to add in more violence, rather than attempt to edit it out.
Although lamentable, much of the removal of LGBT relationships from the version shipped across to American audiences was not unexpected. It had already been seen in Sailor Moon with the removal of any trace of Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus’ long-term relationship from the US dub. Similarly, a few relationships between more mature characters and minors were removed for obvious motives. It is unusual that almost every relationship in the show is watered down for seemingly no better reason than thinking romance was too girly for American boys.
Before recognizing his love for Sakura’s brother Toya, Sakura had a huge crush on Yukito. In the American version, the crush is still there but entire episodes are rewritten to avoid bringing it up. It is true that Yukito is several years older than Sakura, as he is a similar age to her brother, is it a large enough age difference to be dubious? Cardcaptor Sakura originally ran to 70 episodes and two movies. Though Nelvana technically adapted all 70 episodes, only 38 episodes originally aired in the US.
That cuts out almost half the story. The series opened with Episode 8 as this episode introduced an important male character, Syaoran Li (AKA Li Shaoran). He is Sakura’s main rival throughout the series, also seeking to capture the cards and take advantage of their power.
It was thought that boys would not be able to relate to a female lead and so starting the series with Syaoran’s introduction was set to appeal most to the anticipated male audience. The rest of the series was aired in a random order, with entire sequences hacked apart, mostly to remove the aspects seen as inappropriate for the Western audience. This led to inconsistencies and plot holes, as well as ripping out the heart of the show. The Americanization completely rewrites certain crucial plotlines of Cardcaptor Sakura. The season two finale, the 'Final Judgement', reveals that the price to pay for Sakura losing to Yue is that everyone related to the Clow Cards would lose their love for the person they cared for the most. In the English version, the episode runs similarly, except that the motivation is changed so that the price for losing is now that everyone's memory would be erased from the time the Clow Cards were released up to the Final Judgement. No doubt, the shift in focus is to move away from certain love stories that have been left out of the dub.
Yet is can’t help but come across as expressing the opinion that love would not be a strong enough motivation in the eyes of the new audience. In their effort to change the feel of Cardcaptor Sakura, almost all the romantic relationships are removed. This even applies to relationships which are quite crucial to the development of the main characters. Before Sakura and Syaoran develop their rivalry into affection, both characters have a crush on the same character. Syaoran is attracted to Yukito (AKA Julian Star).
The young man will often blush or run away when he meets Yukito. In parallel, Sakura has a crush on Yukito so the main characters would often compete with each other for his affections.
The pair are truly rivals, both in their quests to capture the Clow Cards and in their love. It should be unsurprising by now that this young love triangle is removed from the US dub.
By this point, it is hard to tell if it because part of it is a same-sex crush or just because it is a romantic subplot at all. In the show, Sakura’s mother has passed away, three years after giving birth to Sakura. Tomoyo’s mother adores Sakura, treating her like her own daughter. In part, this is revealed that it is because she has loved Sakura’s mother since kindergarten.
Now, it is pretty normal to love your cousin. Yet, it is less normal to hate your cousin’s husband for getting to spend more time with her. Tomoyo’s mother’s love is presented as slightly more than familial love, seeing Sakura’s father as a rival. In Cardcaptors, this subplot is written out. To avoid any confusion, the mothers are even said to be friends rather than cousins. One of the many relationships that are edited in the American dub is that of Sakura’s parents.
A problematic theme of the show appears to be teacher/student romance. Sakura’s father, Fujitaka Kinomoto, was a teacher at her mother’s high school, and they married while she was still a high school student. Nadeshiko was a beautiful, cheerful girl, as well as a part-time model. It is described how the two would come to the high school together while married with disgustingly romantic matching packed lunches.
Romanctic lunches aside, Fujitaka, as a teacher, was in a position of authority over Nadeshiko and their relationship while she was still a student was questionable. To make things a little more respectable in the American dub, she didn't get married at the age of 16 but fell in love with her husband at that age. Another pairing that is played down in the Americanization is Sakura’s brother Toya’s brief relationship with his student teacher Kaho. Kaho is a beautiful, spiritual woman with wisdom beyond her years. Toya meets her at a Shrine under a cherry blossom tree and they are attracted to each other due to mutual magical powers. It is only afterwards that Toya realises that Kaho is his new student teacher. Their friendship eventually grows into a romantic love, which Toya touchingly confesses under the same tree where they had originally met.
Despite the tutor/student angle, the relationship is less eye-brow raising than previous relationships due to Toya being slightly older. Toya and Kaho are not a couple for long. A year after their romance starts, she moves overseas for studies and the couple part.
Yoshiyuki Terada, or Terada-sensei as he is addressed by all of his students, is the teacher at Tomoeda Elementary School. He is the homeroom teacher throughout the fourth grade for Sakura Kinomoto and every other recurring elementary student character. In the manga, kind-hearted Terada maintains a secret relationship with one of the other students, little Rika.
In the anime, Terada and Rika are not officially engaged, but the couple maintain a close relationship. Rika has an obvious schoolgirl crush and Terada always accepts the cakes and presents she gives him. The references to the relationship are eliminated entirely in the US versions. Rika's shyness toward Mr. Terada is presented in a way that implies that she is afraid of him rather than fancies him.
Of all the relationships edited out of the US dub, the one between the 10-year-old and her 30-something tutor feels like a fair one to remove. The main romance of the original show is the competition-turned-affection between rivals Sakura and Syaoran. This seemingly innocent subplot is avoided as much as possible in the American dub. It is still visible but it is hugely played down. In the American adaptation, the last scene where Syaoran confesses his love to Sakura is removed. He does not even make and gift Sakura with a teddy bear. He simply says he is going to go home now and then exits.
It leaves the series inexplicably incomplete. As we begin the new series Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card, almost 20 years since the end of Cardcaptor Sakura, the first scene is Syaoran and Sakura’s reunion and the return of the bears to their original makers.
It’s almost like the American dub missed the point of Cardcaptor Sakura. What do you think of the changes made to Cardcaptor Sakura? Let us know in the comments!
