Cardcaptor Sakura. My most favorite anime EVER.
In English.
There goes my dream of watching it in Japanese with English subtitles. I know I already have fansubs of this anime but nothing beats high-quality TV right? RIGHT?
Animax-Asia’s Cardcaptor Sakura. High-quality, yes. Japanese dub, heck no.
My reaction to the English dub:
– Sakura – Dubbed by the same dubber girl who seems to star in 90% of Animax-Asia’s lineup. She dubs into English the voices of Remi (Nobody’s Girl), Sarah (Princess Sarah), Sae (Mahou Tsukai Tai), Comet (Princess Comet), Nina (Ultra Maniac), and now Sakura, among still many others I may not know. Singly because of
her, all of Animax-Asia sounds… monotonous. She’s a good dubber I admit, but really, it’s so annoying to hear the ‘same’ voice all the time in so many anime right?
– Tomoyo – Has a weird voice. The dubber does not modulate properly. Sometimes she sounds old, sometimes too young. It’s really weird. She doesn’t do Japanese Tomoyo justice.
– Kero – Okay, it seems like an ironclad rule that any anime character who has an Osakan accent converts into a westerner when it comes to the English dub. Howdy there.
– The rest are quite okay, albeit any of their voices do not stand out at all.
The conversion to English dubbing will mean little and subtle details will be lost:
– No more honorifics like -san and -chan. The honorifics actually signify at a certain scale what kind of relationship one character is to another. And as expected, everyone will call each other by their first names. It’s not bad, but they’ll have trouble when Li Shaoran starts calling Sakura as ‘Sakura’, and when Sakura starts calling Li-kun as ‘Shaoran-kun’. Our own Filipino dub also encountered that little error back in the days.
– It’s quite weird that Sakura calls Touya as ‘Touya’ instead of onii-chan. ‘Brother’ should have been a better translation, but heck no. Because of this Sakura seemed to have lost respect to an elder brother.
– They got something wrong… Sakura’s chants. They’ll be in trouble trying to relate this old chant to Sakura’s new chant in the final season of the anime.
Yes, I’m nitpicking. I have the right to nitpick (sort of/maybe) because this is one of my most favorite shows in existence. Honestly, I liked our own local (Filipino) dub a bit better. Why? Cardcaptor Sakura is widely recognized as one of the pinnacles in anime dubbing in Filipino. Partly because of the simple context and dialogues of the anime itself, and also partly because the voice actors of that particular channel are good (with the ‘other’ channel’s voice actors being generally bad). I feel though that this Animax-Asia English dub is kinda rushed. Can’t be helped, they had to translate and dub almost ALL of their anime that we see now in the dreaded cable channel. Not to mention they have the same voice actors doing all those anime, making the whole of Animax-Asia sounding monotonous. Oh, they’re going down big time.
But because it is my favorite show on Earth, I will still watch Cardcaptor Sakura in Animax-Asia. At the very least, it is better than the crap that is Cardcaptors.
At the very least, it’s still my most favorite anime ever.

i luv cardcaptor sakura.its really coool.i wish sakura could be for ever.i hope animax could come in english.
Can you tell me about who was the cast on Cardcaptor Sakura in animax asia? I really want to know. Please e-mail me at arvinymson@yahoo.com. Hope you’ll reply!
stop your stupid annoying dubdubing fool its really annoying if you say that many times sorry for my language i really speak like these since i was 12
The english dub CCS on Animax is so stupid that’s why nobody watch that anime anymore,heck for sure the upcoming CCS redub on GMA 7/QTV 11 will be light years better than that crappy inhouse dub(nobody beats the original seiyuu!).If they(Animax) wants to steal some viewers from Hero TV they should at least air the subtitled version of CCS instead of reairing it over and over again(as if they could beat Mirumo De Pon on Hero TV)!
I live in Malaysia and Cardcaptor Sakura has been one of my best and most fav childhood show i seen so far but dubbing it in English may have its downs and ups. But it is good at one point is the my tv provider likes us pick neither the English dub or is original Japanese Audio Feed. But like u say Animax-Asia needs more voiceactor… so u should go down to http://www.animax-asia.com and sign the petition for more different voiceactor duding their shows. Another thing is why do you Philippines get to have your own specialist Tv schedule anyway that same goes with CN
But I do feel lucky Animax Asia provides dual sound (English dubbed and original Japanese) for most programs in the SE Asia market so I can change it back to Jpn if i hate the dub.
where can you watch it in english, anyways?

well in MY opinion, the dub ccs from animax is much better than those other dubbed version. at least she doesn’t sound like a brat. well tomoyo’s voice IS weird but i can live with that. i am only dissapointed that sakura chan’s hoe is gone. apart from that it is kinda good. oh i also HATE cardcaptors.
i like this animation also
