@Abdullab I was just about to point this out! Yeah I'm happy to see her getting more work. Granted this dub has replaced the Free dub as the current bane of my existence but it's really nice to see both her and Amanda Lee get more VA work.I definitely hope we get to hear more of both in the future.

If there is one positive thing I can say about this dub it's that I enjoy how Champa in a somewhat romantic relationship with Beerus's daughter.

Love it in English dub, Jason and Monica did good voicing Syaoran and Sakura same thing other new english voice actors. I like Japanese voice actors of Cardcaptor Sakura.

I'll admit it was nice that Caitlin got Jason Liebrecht back but I'll admit he doesn't really fit this version of Syoarin well considering he's supposed to sound like a young boy.
Still this is a decent dub at best but not one of Caitlin's finest.

I took a but of a closer look at this dub so I'll be honest.
I'm completely disappointed.
Natalie Hoover while a good choice for Tomoyo on paper is way to whispery and quiet for her and lacks energy but is beginning to get better. Jason Lebricht is very ill-fitting as Syoarin. He sounds way to old for what is supposed to be a young boy who is supposed to be cute. I also dislike Monica Rial as Sakura. I know that she can pull off cute voices but she sounds more like a teenager than a young child which worked for perfectly for Tanya since she's a middle aged Nazi general stuck in the body of a child but not a character this naturally young. She's also not very endearing and memorable either.
All in all I'd say the Tsubasa VAs are what drag everyone down. I know they've played the characters in the past but these were different incarnations who even had different Japanese voice actors. They really don't fit these versions of there characters at all so I'd saying it was a bad move on Funimation's part to go with reprisals from the Reserve Chronicle. All in all it's a 6/10 dub.

Actually I'm revising that number. It's a 7.5 dub at the end of the day.

This dub feels average to me. In all honestly I do have some issues that I'll state so here I go:
I liked Kero's voice a lot. Mikaela Krantz does the role justice and I enjoyed the voices for Yue and Toya as well. However I will admit that I'm honesty am not a fan of Rial's Sakura. Keep in mind I may have this issue because I can't look at her cute voice the same way after watching Ghost Stories, Saga of Tanya the Evil or Panty and Stocking but it seems to have a rough edge and it can sound odd at times not to mention I feel it needed to be sweeter. Who knows? Maybe it'll grow on me! As far as Tomoyo goes I feel that she's way to breathy which is odd considering that I usually like Natalie Hoover (especially as Sonia) but my biggest complaint is easily Jason Lebricht. While he fit the Tsubasa incarnation of the character well I'm not sure he fits this version. He sounds more like a caring father than a young boy if anything. Kara Edwards would've been a better fit.
All in all it's OK but not as strong as some of the other stuff Funimation has delivered. If you want a strong simuldub I suggest Citrus or Pop Team Epic since both are easily my favorites. But this could've been way better IMO.

@Soul-dragon To Jason Lebricht credit. I still think he have an mush lighter take then most grown male VA who voice young boys. But it have been a while since he did this type of role so it can be a bit iffy to some at first and this may a bit off but I very sure that middle school boys voices are mix with male or female casting even with the Japanese. I mean there a currently airing anime called karakai jouzu no takagi san where both Yuki Kaji and aaron dismuke play a boy name Nishikata who also a middle schooler.

@MadDude657 Yes but he isn't meant to be as cute as Syaorin not to mention in the Japanese version it's a girl as well. There are some times when a man dubbing a woman can work (for example Johny Yong Bosch as Nate and Bryce Papenbrook as Nagito) but the characters had mature enough designs for it to work not to mention neither were meant to be cute. Kara Edwards or Maxey Whitehead should've voiced him.
I know I might come off as very annoyed and it's because I honestly am. Cardcaptor Sakura could've been huge for Funimation in terms of dubbing but they blew it. It doesn't help that Caitlin Glass, who has worked on some of my favorite Funimation dubs like Love Live Sunshine and Sakura Quest. I guess every director has a rough spot every once in a while (Wendee Lee with Danganronpa V3, Patrick Setiz with Fire Emblem Warriors, Valerie Arem with P4 Dancing all Night and Jonathan Klein with MVC Infinite) but this was a huge screwup. It doesn't help that I actually like some of the choices here either. All in all you know you've made a mistake when Pop Team Epic has a better dub than this.

Cast is in. What did we think?
Replysaid at 3:24 PM on Sat Feb 10 2018
@PerfectSe7en I think Monica Rial did a good job with Sakura and
Mikaela Krantz was a solid Kero, and the supporting cast sounded great. But Tomoyo sounded a bit breathy at times, but wasn't unlistenable, but my biggest problem was Jason Lebricht's Syaoran. I felt that he wasn't suited for the role. I think he was a perfect fit for the Tsubasa version of Syaoran, but that was because that guy was much older than his CCS iteration, and I would have liked it better if they cast Maxey Whitehead in the role instead.

@Soul-dragon And Black Lagoon. And when Funimation licensed it, they asked them to dub it.

@A-Log Canada is not lucking out when it comes to magical girl anime, are they? First Los Angeles gets both Sailor Moon animes, then they get Precure/Glitter Force, and now Texas has Sakura.
At least Ocean is slowly but surely starting to get work again. (Gintama, Kiznavier, World Trigger, etc.)

So Funimation decided to go with reprisals from the Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE dub huh?
Interesting choice, though a bit gutsy.
I've never seen Tsubasa (i'm gonna have to now) but I'm pretty sure the depictions from that anime are a bit different from their roles in Cardcaptors Sakura.
Still Monica Rial should be a natural fit for the original Sakura.
Jason Liebrecht I like a lot as a VA but I'm a bit iffy on him voicing him here. I know he can do young teens like in Wolf Children and he is now suppose to be in junior high. So This can go either way, though I think Jason fits the Tsubasa version he originally portrayed more. Personally I would've went with Justin Briner for a male VA or a female VA otherwise.
If that's the case, then Robert McCollum and Eric Vale are probably going to be reprising Yukito and Toya....oh wow Goten and Trunks as these two. That should be fun. XD
Caitlin Glass directing should be good, I know she's a fan of Sailor Moon but for her this is probably the next best thing to be working on.
I look forward to seeing the rest of the cast announcements soon.
I'll check out the dub at some point after I binge through all of the first Cardcaptors Sakura anime first.

@Autovolt
Jason kinda sounds like Dave Wittenberg when he does the middle schooler voice. He even did Syaoran's younger incarnation in Tsubasa as well, and it turned out better than I expected. This is coming from someone that's generally against the idea of (grown) male VAs voicing kids below the age of 12.

@Autovolt Turns out they aren't going for a complete Tsubasa reprisal. Every other character that also appeared in Tsubasa now has a new voice actor for the Clear Card dub.
Not sure why they didn't go for a full reprisal, but I'm pleased with the casting choices nonetheless. I just finished watching the dub and I was satisfied with it. Only voice that's going to take some getting used to is Tomoyo.

@1dbad Caitlin Glass did clear that up. Someone asked her regarding Yukito and Toya's recasting and she explained why.

Monica Rial as Sakura? Wasn't expecting that. Can't wait to hear her performance.
Replysaid at 8:21 PM on Mon Jan 22 2018
@Soul-dragon Monica did played as Sakura in Tsubasa, so it's more of a role reprisal. Even Jason Liebrecht returned as Syaoran.

@mypetgoat my original idea would be luci christian. Until I found out what Tsubasa is. And it wasn’t that surprising... Funi always going with a new in-house cast with these new anime series of old shows that was originally dub by Vancouver, LA and Houston (ADV days) so there no point of asking if they going outsource with seasonal simuldubbing.

@mypetgoat
Yeah, exactly. That's actually what I was expecting. My prediction was that Funimation's getting the Tsubasa VAs to reprise their roles. So far, that's two down.
That being said, I wonder what the chances of getting Johnny Yong Bosch to reprise as Eriol are. He's appeared in one Funi simuldub before as Hajime in DR3, but if Funimation doesn't get him, that's fine. Micah Solusod would be the closest match for the character.
Previously, it's been announced that Natalie Hoover is joining the cast, and we don't know which character she's voicing. Any guesses before the full cast list rolls out, guys?

@MadDude657 In all honestly I really don't want Kero to be played by a man. Don't get me wrong I there are many talented male VAs but I've never once viewed Kero a cute bear plushie as a character who needed a man's voice. The only two male VAs I can see pulling it off are Bryce Papenbrook and Vic Mignogna TBH.

@Soul-dragon
If Chris Cason is reprising, it's gonna be the same goofy voice he did back in the Tsubasa dub. I have no objection with that. I actually doubt that Natalie is going to be Kero because her voice doesn't fit Kero-type characters.
Actually, I think Natalie is going to be Akiho, the new girl. If not her, she's probably gonna be one of Sakura's classmates.

Sakura is Funimation Bulma, Tomoyo's original VA was Ocean Bulma, while Kero is both Bulma's new Japanese voice actress and Bang Zoom Bulma. Now all we need is to put the three together so that we can get the ultimate combo...
