I can't remember any of the different seasons really. I just remember parts, regardless of what that part was from! XD
I just remember it was good. :3

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.

Captain Fabio March 22nd, 2011 5:07 AM

I think I may have to revisit these seasons then in my spare time... :3


Zeffy March 22nd, 2011 5:17 AM

Oooh, I'd surely like to rewatch them again. Same goes with Hetalia. Maaan, I haven't watched that for aaaaaaaaages.

Captain Fabio March 22nd, 2011 5:22 AM

I need to watch Cardcaptor Sakura again and catch up on Pokemon!


Mr Cat Dog March 22nd, 2011 5:31 AM

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.

This. Due to that we missed some pokemons episodes too.

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

However, if you mean just random episodes that were blocked because there was a gun in it, then I think that is a little strange.


Flamboyant March 22nd, 2011 6:41 AM

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.

Captain Fabio March 22nd, 2011 6:48 AM

Mhmm.
It is a bit strange. I can see what they are trying to do and why they do it, but it doesn't really make that much different really, IMO.


Flamboyant March 22nd, 2011 6:54 AM

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.

Captain Fabio March 22nd, 2011 6:56 AM

One episode that I couldn't understand why they banned, was the episode where James had boobs! XD


Flamboyant March 22nd, 2011 7:03 AM

HAHA I actually thought about that one earlier. I know right? I mean... it's funny, that's all XD

Mr Cat Dog March 22nd, 2011 7:22 AM

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've seen one or two episodes of Digimon but I can't say I've actually paid the series any mind. :/ Was one of those kids who would scoff Digimon because it seemed "too much like Pokemon" and would do that for years, but nowadays a lot of my friends like it a lot so I wonder whether or not it's worth giving it a try.

donavannj March 22nd, 2011 7:55 AM

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.

Signomi March 22nd, 2011 8:01 AM

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;

Zeffy March 22nd, 2011 8:11 AM

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.

Meganium March 22nd, 2011 8:17 AM

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.

Saryka March 22nd, 2011 8:29 AM

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.

donavannj March 22nd, 2011 8:33 AM

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.

Signomi March 22nd, 2011 8:58 AM

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
Don't learn from the Anime. The Anime is crazy and has rules that are broken. I swear they make it up as they go along!

I have been playing Yu-Gi-Oh since it first came out! It is crazy it has been out for over 10 years. O_o


Sweet Candace March 22nd, 2011 9:18 AM

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