 "English Version stinks"I LOVED the Jappenese version, but the English version was horrible! All the girls voices were lil squeaky,except Meilin's. Was it my imaginations, or was some of the English voices were from Digimon? I must be imagining!! Well I still give the Jappenese version 5 stars! English...3. It's my oppinion. Sorry. "This movie rocks!"I am probably about the biggest fan of CCS. Sakura starts off in the 6th grade. This movie is about Sakura who tries to confess her love for Syaoran. At the end of the last episode, Sakura created a card. This card escapes and is feeling lonely, so it uses the other sakura card's powers and wreacks havoc throughout Tomoeda. Its up to Sakura and Syaoran to save the day. Not with the power of the stars, but with the power of love.Don't miss this new movie. It is the BEST!!! "this is the best movie"("RELESE!")I LOVE THIS MOVIE! the first part makes you think,"what the heck are these monsters from!"but,then you find out that tomoyo(madison)made the tape and sakura used CREATE card to make the monsters.then theres a unedited seen was on the tape with showron(Li)and sakura with the bubles card.GET THIS DVD IT ISNT cardcaptors! its in english with cool iporate for kid voices.It is the last cardcaptor sakura movie!it's so sad!(sniff)(sniff)thats all for now see you next time!  "My younger sister's Anime....."When I first watched this DVD, I was expecting the same good ol' American dub courtesy of Nelvana, so you can say I was surprised to find out it wasn't. Which is why I don't like a majority sequels; they change pretty much everything to actors, voice-actors and the personality of characters in the story which sort of kills any expectations or enjoyment of even considering to watch a sequel. That aside Cardcaptor Sakura: the sealed card continues where the series left off, with a very corny opening with. Sakura is sill brooding over Li's departure to Hong Kong and the only way she seems to quell this wanting to see Li is to watch a bunch of tapes made by her queer friend Tomoyo--- [Madison in Nelvana's CCS version, Cardcaptors] who thinks pretty much everything and everyone (especially Sakura and Li ¬¬;) are so cute! Then one day, Li and his cousin Meling suddenly appear out of nowhere and Sakura finds herself faced with task of telling Li how she really feels about him. Throughout the movie you have to sit and watch Sakura's inability to confess her true feelings to Li, while at the same time figure out why her "Sakura" cards and various objects and people are all vanishing with each passing day, however, its no mystery as to what's behind it. The fillers in this movie are the constant ploys like Meling and Tomoyo playing matchmaker and Sakura's constant stalling to confess to Li, which becomes repetitive. You want to tell her to go on and confess already. The music in the movie is a tad too childish for my liking, the action in the CCS2 is few and far between, most of the so-called 'action-moment's' consist of Sakura trying to persuade the 'enemy' to stop what its doing and running for her life while her Guardian's along with Li have to save her from peril. The main focus and plot (if you wanna call it that) of this movie is the intolerable, so-predicable romance between Sakura and Li, which gets really boring in and of itself. I mean, the movie was fun to watch at times and had some redeemable moments but the cutsey-cute atmosphere is almost too sweet to even stomach. The Japanese dub remains the same, while English dub is performed by Zang Boom entertainment: which is the English dubs major downfall. While ZBE maintains the original names (no matter how badly pronounced) of the characters, Nelvana did a better job in the voice-acting and music department, aside from the fact that they edited CCS. All in all, the sealed card will only please Otaku fans of CCS, but if your someone who never minded the edited version Cardcaptors, then you'll find the English dub and movie very unfamiliar ground and comfortable to listen to.----- [a 3 out of 5] "A MUST BUY FOR CARDCAPTORS FANS"I'm a really huge fan of Cardcaptors, but when the show was canceled I was completely devastated...they just left me hanging there with Li confessing his feelings towards Sakura and then he leaves for Japan. When I found out about the second movie I was thrilled about the thought. Sadly no one carried the DVD so luckily amazon carries it! Anway, the movie is really good and has a nice story to it. The movie is basically about Sakura and her building up the courage to tell Li her true feeings towards him since she never got the chance. Unfortunately, for those of you (like me) who have watched Cardcaptors the voices have changed from the series and that was probably one of the biggest shockers for me. At times the high-pitched voices got kind of annoying but the movie still caught my attention. Although I would have to say that I was disappointed about Kero's voice changing to some "cute" voice. Ok, back to the movie. Unfortunately for Sakura and co. there is yet another Clow card that hasn't been sealed and it's called The Nothing Card. It balances the negative and positive energy between all of the cards but has the power of all of them combined into one. So it is very powerful. While trying to get ready for the town play, confessing to Li, Sakura must seal this card and turn it into a Sakura card before everything and EVERYONE disappears. Everything becomes hopeless when she finds out that the person in the end who has the most magic has to give up the most important feeling that they have at that very moment. This means that Sakura or Li would have to give up their feelings towards to each other. What happens when Yue and Kero Beros get captured by the card...and then soon Li...? That just determines Sakura even more and the capture for the final card is just beginning. I would highly recommend this DVD to any Cardcaptors fan even though there are some changes such as voice changes and the use of their Japanese names rather than their English names. The animation is as good as ever and the excitment is back! So don't just sit there! Buy the DVD! |
