I think this is what woke people up. . . (Tue Sep 21 05:27:34 2004 )

I really think CCS is the show that woke people 
up to how truly bad a dub could be. I remember 
when it was licenced and (as per usual) the good 
fansubbers pulled it's fansubs. Then people saw 
what was being done with it and all hell broke 
loose. People complained to the company (who 
ticked off MANY people by brushing them off) and 
fansubbers (even the good ones!) made the fansubs 
available again, as they said: Until a *real* 
domestic release was going to be produced. 
Suddenly you could say you hated dubs and other 
anime fans didn't just shrug blankly at you.

When I saw the incredible backlash to the show's 
excessively lousy (then still only impending) 
dub, I was amazed!!  . . .And incredibly thrilled 
because at least *I* mark it as the beginning of 
companies realizing that people not only care 
about the translations, but that they're ALSO 
very willing to watch subtitled video. I fully 
believe the CCS vs. Cardcaptors fiasco changed 
the whole map of how both dubs and subs are 
produced for release here.

And incidentally, the local video shops in my 
area stopped carrying the "Cardcaptors" version 
of the show after about two or three volumes. 
When I asked about it out of curiosity, I was 
told it simply was not selling. HOORAY! *^_^*

Many Sharp Smiles,
