DVD Reviews of Cardcaptors: V.2 Power Match (ep. 4-6)
DVD Review: Don't believe the bad press
Summary: 5 Stars
Ignore the constant whining and sniping from anime "fans" who'll tell you what an abomination this show is, how it's no match for the original Japanese "Card Captor Sakura" series.. Card Captor Sakura is a great series, deservedly so, and anime fans can enjoy it in its original Japanese format on the DVD releases which are available and ongoing.
CardCAPTORS is a version of the show customised for the US English-speaking market. So that means that some of the characters are renamed. Okay, so "Tomoyo-chan" is now called by the more accessible name of "Madison" - so what? It doesn't hurt the story. At the end of the day, THIS IS A KIDS SHOW, and us adults have no right to complain about how it hasn't been made in exactly the way that we want it. Grown-ups can enjoy the original Card Captor Sakura DVDs. For kids, CardCaptors is where it's at.
CardCaptors puts an interesting new slant on a well-loved anime series, but if you're someone for whom only the original Japanese version will do - well, buy that instead and quit whining about CardCaptors. It's not for sad old grown-ups, anyway! But if you're one of the few anime fans that's mature enough to appreciate something a little different, then you'll like what they've done here.
My advice? Buy both. They both have their own unique qualities and both deserve to be seen, independently of each other.
Description of Cardcaptors: V.2 Power Match (ep. 4-6)
Ten-year-old Sakura's adventures continue as she pursues the magic Clow Cards and the spirits they control: Jump, a violent pink creature who resembles a mutant Pokémon, bedevils a woman who sells plush toys--until Sakura brings him to heel. Episode 9 stands out as an example of sensitive storytelling. Everyone perceives the eerie specter in the woods near their school differently; Sakura sees the ghost of her mother, who died seven years ago. Recalling Yuki's advice that her mother would never put her in danger, Sakura penetrates the ruse and captures Illusion, who shows people what they desire to see. Sakura's older brother is dumbfounded when he realizes their mother's spirit actually has been watching over her. But Sakura isn't the only one pursuing the enchanted Cards. Shaoran Li, the brash new student from Hong Kong, is a distant relative of the sorcerer who created the Cards: he arrogantly insists he's the only one qualified to deal with them. Despite his protests, Sakura demonstrates her skill by capturing the powerful Lightning. Kerberos presents details about Sakura's clothes and home between episodes. Cardcaptor Sakura offers warm but never saccharine entertainment. (In Japanese with English subtitles.) Rated 13 and up, but appropriate for children three to four years younger. An edited version of these same episodes is available, entitled Cardcaptors: Power Match that's suitable for the 6-year-old crowd. --Charles Solomon![The Story of Jeremiah [VHS] Image](/images/noimg.gif)
