How does everyone in this forum feel about the Nelvana's Cardcaptors dub?
I know alot of people tend to spit venom when you mention it, but I find a lot of that comes from Americans, due to the KidsWB cut, and people from the UK, Australia and Canada tend to be a little less harsh on it due only getting Nelvana's original cut.
Is it just the edits people hate or is it the voices too?
I personally have fond memories of this dub and feel that it still works within it's own universe. Given the way dubs were handled at the time and that Nelvana wanted the show on the air for as long as possible as well as being at the mercy of the FCC, I don't blame them for having made the edits that they did though admit they should have kept it uncut for the dvd release. I wonder how many kids, like me, have gotten into anime because of it as this dub pushed anime into a prime time kids programming block.
As for the voices, I loved Matt Hill's 'Kero' for breaking away from the stereotype cute voice the character previously had and though Carly McKillip's 'Sakura' for sounding more like an actual little girl, which the VA was at the time. Sadly I wasn't happy with all of them. Oh Richard Newman, you were a terrific Rhinox, but your voice did not fit Keroberos and Kero's true and borrowed forms often felt like they were replacing one another rather then one transforming into the other.
So nostalgia may be blinding me and it may not hold up when compared to the original Japanese version, but I can't hate or dislike it and I will not be made to feel bad for liking it.

| [post:228#2095] AstroNerdBoy Reviews: 417 Posts: 384 | I never knew there was ever an unedited English dub of CCS as I thought the only official version could be the one put out for Cardcaptors. But as I investigate, that was only done for the Asian-Pacific area. Unless something has happened, Nelvana still holds the license to Cardcaptor Sakura in the R1 region. I know that Geneon's sub-license has expired and it may be that Nelvana's license has expired. As such, unless a company, like FUNimation, comes in and license-rescues it to give it a new dub (and considering how their plans to redub Slayers got flushed down the toilet due to their being unable to obtain all the materials needed to do a redub, it may not be that easy to get it dubbed for R1 into English), we'll never see an unedited English dub. |

| [post:228#2100] Jan-Chan Reviews: 599 Posts: 593 | Without saying too much about having to resort to borrowing someone's VHS tapes (Do you still have a working tape-player? When was the last time you used it?), there are places to go to find off-beat anime torrents. |

| [post:228#2120] Qorx Reviews: 0 Posts: 3 | Here are some reasons why i hate subs alot more than dubs:..........1) Sometimes they talk to dam fast with large amount of text, and i have to pause the vid in order to read it.... D:2) Constantly reading down at the subs and then look up at the animation so frequently makes me dam dizzy...and makes me loose focus of the story..... T.T :X |
