There are a number of unforunate things about the US version of Cardcaptura Sakura. Firstly the dubbing - the acting is atrocious, words run into each othre, and it is an extra level of dummed down ness for a presumed lobotomised US audience.
Secondly the changing of the names - it never works. The names are changed to western names, even though it is still obviously in Japan. What???? It doesn't make sense.
Lastly, and perhaps the worst, is that some of the storylines are changed for American audiences. Cardcaptura Sakura has a few challenging storylines that make it an interesting show - however these were deemed to mature for US audiences. So they were changed. The fact the dialogue and visuals on screen don't match up with the change in plotline seems to have been ignored.
Overall, please, get the orginal and watch it, its a great show, but don't watch this awful dubbed version.
