I was watching my Cardcaptor Sakura DVDs last night and I can see in many ways why they were cut for the western audiences. Those audiences were clearly expected to be 11-12 year olds (much like me when I first discovered it) and I don't think any 11-year old would get some of the hints dropped in the unedited episode 1. I'll say that while even I notice the Touya/Yukito pairing watching the cut episodes back now, the uncut ones make all those Sakura/Tomoyo fanfics make a lot more sense even if I don't particularly like the pairing. My main reason for that is because the Syaoran/Sakura pairing is so freaking blatant that I can't ignore it, its probably the only hetero pairing I support with any real passion.
Day 3 of the Canadian Adventure will be written up later, I've decided to stop posting the Daily DisOrDat results as they were getting a bit cumbersome. I'll still post the full episode results.
