NEWS: NIS America Licenses Cardcaptor Sakura TV Anime

I feel this is obligatory

I don't have a bluray player (aside from maybe my ps3 if it plays them), but I'm not too keen on using my ps3 to watch movies.

in other worse it may be call a psuedo old english dub version considering its an old animax dub. regardless, both animax and nelvana are as just as bad. hopefully the quote made on the facebook page might turn out to be true and NIS might just just actually decide on doing a new english dub version instead of using the animax dub.

You don't actually read anything anyone else is writing, do you? Justin Sevakis, who is working on the BDs, has said it's the Animax version. NISA is not making a dub from scratch, deal with it. And too expensive? Seems your math skills are are just as good as your reading comprehension. A new Funimation title, like say Haganai NEXT, which is 12 episodes retails for $69.98. That's $5.83 per episode. A Sentai sub only BD release like Chuunibyou retails for $49.98 for 13 episodes. That's $3.84 per episode for a barebones release. This set with a much better artbox and book plus subs and dubs retails for $249.99 for 70 episodes. That's $3.57 per episode, even cheaper than a barebones Sentai release. And that's just going off the MSRP. TRSI is selling it far cheaper than that. So enough with your idiotic claims that this is overpriced.

The Animax dub uses the original score music. How can anyone justify the Nelvana version? Im not saying the Animax version is perfect but at least it retains the uncut soul of the show.

I highly doubt it would be possible but in an ideal world I would rather have the dub team from Bang Zoom that did the 2nd movie. But this isnt a question about professionalism, its about getting an already existing uncut dub out in the open for all to see, and filing the appalling 'Cardcaptors' version to the vaults to be forgotten about forever.

However when all is said and done, I would still choose the Japanese dub. It would just be nice to know my future children will get to watch it in uncut English, like we all should have seen it originally.

At first, I was really excited for this DVD until I found out it had the Aniplex Dub on it. I know it's uncut, but the Nelvana Dub had better voice actors.

actually it is.

cause some of us otakus arent made of money and can't afford a $249.99 collection. not to mention that NIS America does have a bad rep of having them really expensive even though their high quality. most of the collections that the other companies does is at least in the near $100.00 - $150.00 range with all the extras and in high quality.most of us can manage that, but over $200.00 is kinda too much for some of us.

...here's hoping that it will get re-aired on North American TV so as to give today's North American T.V. viewers the legal chance to watch it before deciding if it's worth owning on DVD/Blu-Ray. NIS America may want to look for networks like Nickelodeon, Spike TV, Adult Swim, Teletoon Retro, W Network, and SPACE to see who will be interested in airing it.

I think The Hub would be a good place for it. If it can air stuff like My Little Pony, Batman The Animated Series, and Tiny Toon Adventures uncut and uncensored, then I don't see why CCS wouldn't be a good fit on there.

As has been pointed out $3.57 per episode for the Blu-ray and $2.57 per episode for the DVD is very reasonable. I think that it is actually a bit less than the average price for a new anime release, even a release without a dub.
I might be wrong but I think that NIS is promoting this as a sub only release, with the Animax dub being included as a bonus feature.

Also, the DVD release is only $60 each for three volumes. That is very much in line for what you would pay for a set with 23 or 24 episodes.

The Nelvana was unedited...just with a US hack-job airing. And I've heard the English Animax dubs...they're not that good. They may as well do a sub-only, and put the Nelvana dub onto another release
