Saddly I watched the original 'Card Captor Sakura' before watching this. This made me cry. To make it more likeable, Nelvana set aside the original first seven episodes so that Li Syaoran, or Lee Showron in the English dub, would be featured. Boy and girl stars, right? No problems there, right? Wrong. Seven episodes of character development for Sakura were never shown. Too many things were edited for no apparent reason. Names were changes , including Tomoeda to Reedington, the town where the anime took place. Most changes were unneeded in my eyes. I watched CCS when I was eight. This just makes me want to yell. This is not a dub. It's a disgrace.

What Parents Need to Know
About Cardcaptors: Test of Courage
Parents need to know that there are occasional tidbits regarding Japanese culture; one episode concerns a field trip to an ancient shrine cave that is reputed to be haunted. Sakura seems timid and often seems to need the help of an arrogant male cardcaptor. The show looks attractive, with occasional use of impressive effects animation. The characters are appealing, but slow-moving stories may put off viewers looking for more action. Ten-year-old Sakura is an appealing heroine for preteens; though insecure about her skills, she rises to the occasion when necessary. Teens find the adventures of Sakura and friends a little too sedate.
