Every time I see Chuck on somebody's shelf, I squee a little bit on the inside.
People like you are the reason the show survived to the end!!! And Subway. And Toyota! But never forget you! |

Question about that Cardcaptor Sakura set! Are they spelling it "Xiaolang" in the subtitles? I was wondering why you kept spelling it like that. I didn't think anybody spelled it the traditional Chinese way, what with every copy I own of the manga spelling it "Syaoran". (And, yes, I own several different editions and checked every one.... what? I don't have a problem.
 Doesn't everybody own four copies of volume 2?) I'm just curious about it, as it seems like it would be difficult to get used to.

Yes, they spell it that way in the subtitles. Also in the episode guide book.

Coming near the end of my current tablet addiction (Disney Hidden Worlds), and looking for new replacements (Phoenix Wright, Monopoly Bingo), I have decided to experiment with LLSIP, just on the recommendation. I hold Bamboo responsible should any damages to my life occur.

That's about the only thing that bothers me about it... the subtitle is always "Xiaolang". Even when Sakura is saying "Li-kun". (I didn't check my old Pioneer set to recall what they did... maybe it's the same and I'm senile.) |

This might be my only chance to watch Cardcaptor Sakura the way it was meant to be; no kiddy dub (a shame it never had a better, more professionally done one) or censored nonsense, just the show in its unaltered entirety. But the price is a bit steep...
Ali07, major kudos to you for having not one but two Mega Man X and three Zero figures apiece! I have the D-Arts X and Vile figures myself. Still need to find Zero for a fair price. :) |

Thought Senran Kagura might end up lower, but I'm guessing the lack of a wish-fulfillment male lead whom all the ninja girls are trying to please helped save it from the Perishable bin.

What are you talking about? They might have been subitled only, but the genon releases of Cardcaptor sakura not cardcaptors was uncut, and they released it twice, once as singles, once as two boxsets. This might be the only time you get to hear an uncut dub, but not an uncut sub. |

Just got the CCS blu-ray set for my birthday. I still own the Geneon DVDs (no, there weren't ever blu-rays released here till now...) but Card Captor Sakura, being cell-animated, really deserves the blu-ray upgrade. I expected that I wouldn't care much for it, having watched the DVDs half a dozen times over the years, but it's still wonderful. Like Bamboo said, it really never gets old. I love shoujo and magical girls but I can't think of any other series that has this much *charm*.
I was kinda disappointed by the artbook, though. I was really hoping for some concept art (the DVDs had a concept art gallery in the extras, guess I gotta keep them) and especially some of the beautiful promotional art, but other than screenshots there's just a couple of pages of the new style promo art that I think was released in calendars a couple years ago. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the dub. Sakura's voice put me off initially, but she quickly gets better. And aside from a few very flat-acting minor roles, the dub is quite watchable, almost, dare I say, good! Definitely better than most Asian English dubs I've heard recently. Which is wonderful, because if I have a daughter one day, I want to be able to watch CCS with her...now that there's a dub, there's a possibility! 
As for the Xiaolang thing, his name has never had the Chinese spelling like this in any other English-released material, but I think it's a good thing. Except for:
I thought this was so weird, especially since the transition of Sakura calling him "Li" to "Shaoran/Xiaolang" is a real turning point in the series. I don't see why localizers seem to think this switching between calling someone by their last name to their first name is such an untranslatable concept. (And yes, the Geneon subtitles retained "Li" when Sakura calls him "Li-kun" in Japanese, I don't think there were honorifics but I don't quite remember. Both versions seem to have lost Yukito's nickname "Toya" for "Touya", though admittedly it's hard for most non-Japanese speakers to tell the difference) |

I was slightly confused with this at first as well, since she mentioned the Pioneer VHS releases just before that, but what Bamboo was referring to is the Geneon JP Blu-ray box that was released in Japan in 2009. It was conveniently released just after the company was sold to NBC Universal, netting the name change to Geneon Universal Entertainment. The company is now simply NBC Universal Entertainment Japan. |

Start reading from here. Some slight spoilers if you haven't watched the series yet. |

I realized the Geneon thing was confusing, so I changed it. The NISA release is the only US one.
