Unfortunately, sumo wrestling does have its trouble for time budget, since you can never truly predict how long a bout may take. Especially on the last day, where if you have to have a playoff or even a 3-way playoff, you could end up going way over time. Also, sumo wrestlers are considered holy, and a yokozuna is considered next to divine. The ritual performed during sumo wrestling is supposed to ward off bad spirits and even bring good harvests etc. So saying that Musashimaru had an "evil spirit" is very odd.

(I don't think that PDC survived the digital switchover.) 22 years ago, when I set a PDC recording for a Cardcaptors episode that ended up not being broadcast that day, the recording never even started.

Sakura was a huge success in Latin America, I remember seeing a news report of one of the first anime conventions that took place in Argentina in the year 2001 and there were plenty of girls cosplaying as Sakura. It's a shame that despite the original actors made a demo, we still haven't got a dub of Clear Card. We didn't get a dub of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle either.

I'm not an native English speaker, but I find it difficult to listen to their anime dubs, I grew up watching lots of of dubs in Neutral Spanish, and not just anime but also cartoons, live-action movies and TV shows, and those made in Mexico were always pretty good, and modern dubs are great as well. I don't know if part of the problem is that Americans (or Canadians) weren't very accustomed to dubbing foreign media, I tend to notice that old anime English dubs tended to sound very unnatural, lots of exaggerated voices. Then there's the fact that for many years many of the most popular anime dubbed into English were censored or had changes to appeal to Americans, something that didn't happen in other countries. Using Sakura as an example, the Latin American dub kept the relationship between Touya and Yukito intact, and that dub was made 20 years ago. The only English dubs of Japanese media I kind of enjoy are RPGs like Final Fantasy or Persona, partially because, except for Nintendo games, most Japanese games aren't translated/dubbed into Spanish. Though Final Fantasy XVI will be receiving a Neutral Spanish dub.

I remember watching Cardcaptors back in the day and I could always feel something was off. When I finally got to watch the sub, I couldn't believe how much was taken out of context. As for the relationships, the only one I didn't like is Rika's. Even though a lot of other characters have bigger age differences (like Sakura's dad and mom), they were both old enough to consent. In the case of Sakura and Syaoran both liking Yukito, it's more of a crush. It's not uncommon for someone growing up to have a crush someone older and grow out of it.

I would always record about five minutes more at the end in case something like this happened.

Also, was Cardcaptor Sakura that overlooked in the west? The dub was bad indeed but as a kid it did get me into more weeb anime and I recall it was very popular in online circles at the time.

CCS takes place in an idealized world where love is magic, non-sexual, and simple. In this setting, Rika being in love with her teacher is innocent and only about the feelings of the characters. Her teacher isn't grooming her because such a thing doesn't exist in that world. In the context of the show/manga, it's just another form of love. When it's taken out of that context obviously it is very problematic, but viewing it out of context defeats the purpose.

Hi. I think the statement "(...) very strong otaku following which is attributed to the inclussion of moe, lolicon, (...) elements", while not strange, may generate some misunderstandings about the true nature of the events. While it is undeniable that Sakura has a special place within the loli-moe iconography, it is easy to glimpse that such a place is not the main reason behind her constitution as a character and the story she stars in. Rather, I am sure that such popularity is an aftereffect, product of the admiration that in the audience specialized in anime consumption produced a show of marked excellence and originality in terms of narrative, visuals, musicals, etc. To say that Cardcaptor Sakura "includes lolicon content" may generate the idea that the show is based on content specifically designed to satisfy a certain fantasy of otaku consumption. I think that beyond the freedom with which the consumers' fantasy moves, it is easy to judge when a show makes evident the appeal to certain fantasies and consumption, and when it does not; I think the case of CCS is not that of Kodomo no Jikan, to give a grotesque example but that helps to understand the difference. That said, the video is excellent as is all the content you upload. Keep on! Hugs!
