I can't remember any of the different seasons really. I just remember parts, regardless of what that part was from! XD |
I finished the first, second, and fifth season. I don't think I ever got around to watching the whole third season, and I wasn't fond of the fourth season. It was a really nice concept, but I don't think they executed it very well.
|
I think I may have to revisit these seasons then in my spare time... :3 |
Oooh, I'd surely like to rewatch them again. Same goes with Hetalia. Maaan, I haven't watched that for aaaaaaaaages.
|
I need to watch Cardcaptor Sakura again and catch up on Pokemon! |
I always remember being very confused when watching Cardcaptors on ITV, but could never place why at the time. It was only until reading about it later that I realised that fair chunks of the series had been cut to make them suitable for broadcast on kids TV... should probably go back to it to see if there were any real differences, but I never remember feeling massively involved in the series to begin with, mainly due to the confusion on my end.

I don't think I remember being confused by it, but I do know that parts were cut. I hate that so much, just because something may be a little controversial, it doesn't mean that it is going to make us do bad things as a child, and screw us up for adulthood. |

It's the same thing for Sailor Moon where they made Haruka and Michiru cousins. WTH. |

Some of them, however, I can understand with the banned episodes. Like the epilepsy episode and the earthquake episode. They are controversial! XD |
Yes I was thinking about the gun one xD
I agree that, sometimes, it is best to censor things (like the earthquake episodes, for instance, cause that would've been reaaaally awkward xD), but in most cases... it is not really needed. |
Mhmm. |
Yes, that's the point. I think they mean well, but in some cases, they push it too far.
Oh well, I didn't even notice that some episodes were eclipsed (was too young to), so I guess it's not that bad. |
One episode that I couldn't understand why they banned, was the episode where James had boobs! XD |
HAHA I actually thought about that one earlier. I know right? I mean... it's funny, that's all XD

There's a significant difference between censorship and postponing of episodes, though. Censorship is a - presumably - permanent endeavour in part to issue a message that some part of an episode is so wrong that it either shouldn't be shown at all, or shouldn't be shown in its current state. Episode postponement is normally done for reasons of taste due to unexpected events outside the domain of the creators of the show.
Episode postponements offer no moral judgment on the quality of the work: showing the episode in question may just make certain viewers feel uncomfortable at that time. With censorship, there are definitive policy concerns at the heart of it for networks to take such a strong action. Going back to the Cardcaptors stuff, I think I was confused not because of the censorship itself, but more because I can often remember flashbacks to features of episodes that either didn't happen due to UK censorship (involving a gay love affair or the like) or just my own crappy memory! |

I liked Digimon for a while, but the TCG had an awkward playing style and I never really watched the show after the first season or two or got the games. Pokemon just reigned supreme over it. I did watch the first movie, though, and found it kinda interesting yet weird.
|
Er, hang about, there was a Digimon TCG as well? Man I'm always late to these card parties.
I guess it would take actually watching the series to know how to play the card game, though. I remember being uber confused when somebody bought me Yu-Gi-Oh! cards at a time when I never even watched the anime. I just thought they bought a deck just so I could look at the pictures. o_0; |
I think I saw a few Digimon cards here and there, so I bet there was a Digimon TCG. But when it comes to TCG, nothing really tops YGO for me. Maybe Duel Master is a close second. Magic isn't really that popular here in our place.
|
The first two seasons of Digimon were great when I was just a child. I remember buying a couple Digimon cards back then, but I misplaced them. >_> I wish I could at least see the first season again.
|
I never really got into the TCG, I just liked the first two seasons and the movie a whole lot. XD My sister and I did have a small collection of fake/bootlegged Digimon cards, though. I have no idea where we found them but they're so obviously fake, it makes me laugh.
|
With Digimon's TCG, watching the anime wouldn't have helped, as it wasn't card based. I actually did learn how to play back then but still found Pokemon more interesting, and Digimon's TCG just kinda flopped and disappeared around here, so it was harder to collect, especially with Yu-Gi-Oh! sweeping in barely even two years later.
With Yu-Gi-Oh!, I learned from the anime and then learned the actual rules from the rulebooks and the video games. |
The only TCG I was ever remotely interested in was Pokémon. It was such a fad back in Primary school and I can remember all the break and lunchtimes kids had where they'd huddle in groups and trade cards with each other. It was practically the sight of a card convention.

Noooo! XD |
I collected the cards from Yu-Gi-Oh briefly. But, I stopped before the main series ended and GX started.
