The first pair of anime siblings that came to my mind was (surprisingly?) the Amane sisters from Magia Record. I guess it's just recency bias.

Cardcaptor Sakura is on Netflix. Did this thing get re-dubbed?

https://dubbing.fandom.com/wiki/Cardcaptor_Sakura

The original "Cardcaptors" dub from the 90's was done by Nelvana and Ocean Productions, and that's the dub that was chopped up and censored into an unrecognizable mess. The second English dub was done by Animax Asia for airing in the SEA region, and was uncut and uncensored with no name or localization changes. This second dub was later licensed for an official US release by NIS America (the only Animax dub to ever get a western release) and this dub is the one that Netflix has now. The original dub is dead, buried, and will never be seen again, as it should be.

If the original CCS were ever going to get a modern re-dub by an American studio, it would almost certainly be done by Funimation (who licensed and dubbed the CCS: Clear Card sequel series) and not by Netflix. However, considering that Funimation also added the original CCS to their library recently but chose to simply upload the Animax dub, the chances of them going back and re-dubbing it now are slim to none.

I've been watching the original CCS on Funimation's site (never seen it before other than a handful of "Cardcaptors" episodes that I very, very vaguely remember).

It's nothing amazing so far, but fairly charming and entertaining. Only about 6 episodes in. 70 episodes seems a bit long for this, I'm guessing it eventually moves away from just "clow card(s) of the week"?

It does have an overarching plot, but there's quite a bit of slice-of-life and "card of the week" in it too. In this case though, some of those episodes are among the most fun in the series. Plus, there's the fun of seeing all of the different outfits that Tomoyo puts her in throughout the series.

I feel it is the quintessential magical girl anime. It is feel good stuff, but I always wished they would go deeper with the world building and lore.

That being said, even Clear Card Hen, which does go into SOME world building, wastes a lot of time on "Boy this food looks good! Itatakimas!" rather than world building.

AND SEASON ONE ENDS RIGHT WHEN THINGS GET REAL GOOD!!

By any chance was Tomoyo "Madison" in the original dub? One of the few things I remembered from "Cardcaptors" was a dark haired character named Madison who skated around and had a video camera. Now I realize I must have combined her with Sakura in my memory. Did they keep the name Sakura at least?

They also chopped up and rearranged it? Kind of sounds like they Robotech'd CCS.

They removed i think like 3 episodes worth of content, tried to make "Lee" the main character to appeal to boys, and removed any indication of LBGTQ content.

And yeah, Sakura's best friend was Madison in the Ocean dub.

Sakura was still Sakura in both dubs (though the original dub changed her family/last name to be less Japanese-y) and Tomoyo was indeed changed to Madison in the original dub. Also, Sakura was the one that skated around (not Tomoyo) but Tomoyo was the one who always had a camera and filmed Sakura. So you did kind of sort of combine them in your old memories by accident.

CoolMaskGuy posted...

Yep, it was a mess. Nelvana wanted to market the show (and the cards as real-life merch) more to boys to try and catch the same spark that Pokemon did, so they heavily edited the show to downplay Sakura and make Syaoran (who they renamed by making Li his first name rather than his last) seem more like the main character. Because god forbid a show with a female main character try to market to anything but little girls...

You forgot a digit. Cardcaptors ran for 39 episodes while the actual Cardcaptor Sakura was 70, so they removed 31 episodes worth of content.

God damn. I thought they just didn't do the second half of the series. Ugh, how pathetic.

I mean, all the Fox anime got clipped bad. Escaflowne became unintelligible thanks to them trying to make it a kids show.

The only thing I remember from Nanoha is a lot of friendship and a lot of beam shooting. Only saw the original and A's though. Madoka (original) is still my favorite.

If I actually finish all of CCS I think it'll be the second longest anime I've ever watched after Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Lyrical Nanoha gets even crazier in StrikerS and the Reflection/Detonation movies. Definitely try to find the time to watch those if you enjoyed A's.

I've only seen the first season of Yuki Yuna, but I enjoyed it. It doesn't do "dark psychological story with cute magical girls suffering horrific emotional trauma" quite as well as Madoka Magica, and it doesn't do "hot-blooded action with cute magical girls kicking ass" quite as well as Lyrical Nanoha or Symphogear, but it does both pretty well and has some unique things to set itself apart from those other series.

Angels Of Death was one of those shows that I really wanted to like more but just couldn't bring myself to. The episodes where they had to solve a puzzle/mystery to get out of the room to the next floor (which I'm pretty sure were all based on levels from the game the anime was adapting) were the most entertaining ones, and I also think that Dallas Reid was fucking amazing as Zack in the English dub. But the overall story and the characters outside of Zack and Rachel were so mediocre and forgettable that the show as a whole just felt... blah.

On the topic of shows I really wanted to like a lot more than I actually ended up liking them, I finished watching Regalia: The Three Sacred Stars today. Regalia was a mix of some things (the fun interactions between the main characters and the awesome mecha battles) being done very well and some things (the mess of a story and a really weak and dull main villain) being done very poorly. It was a mixed bag, and while there was more good than bad, the bad was still too noticeable to give this show anything more than a 7/10.

My final thought to sum it all up: Most of this show did or tried to do, Granbelm did better. If you like mecha anime and/or action shows with cute girls in the cast, go watch Granbelm. But if you've seen that already and are in the mood for another similar show, or if you'd prefer a more light-hearted and less gloomy show than Granbelm ended up being, then you'll probably get enough enjoyment out of Regalia for it to be worth watching.

For now, I'm gonna continue watching Noir (I got to the halfway mark of that one) and I think I'll also watch season 2 of Squid Girl next.

Finally watched the first ep of Vanguard If. It was definitely more confusing than I expected it to be. I'm really not sure which Ibuki this is, because he still hasn't delivered the deck to Chrono, and Emi is already in middle school? There's also time travelling? Was a very confusing time as a guy who hasn't watched what was supposedly an excellent side season and a great majority of the reboot.

But yeah it was cute and funny. The budget decrease for Vanguard animes all across the board was definitely present here

Also been a while since I heard deep voice Aichi. I've thought for years that his VA was a female, but it turns out it's a guy with a massive voice range lol
