People dunk on the old English dub of Cardcaptors but, I gotta say, it was pretty cool of Pioneer and Nelvana to realize there was a market for the original Japanese version of the show and to release it on video for fans to purchase.
That sort of thing just never happened in the late 90s or early 2000s when it came to those butchered dubs. If a show had a heavily edited dub that was basically what you were stuck with in the west. But with Cardcaptor Sakura they realized there was a market for it.
The videos were distributed by Pioneer, so I’m sure they pushed for it, but the back covers still advertise for the official “Cardcaptors” site and Nelvana’s logo is on the box so I’m sure they had to give the okay. I just feel we’re lucky we got these back in the day. 
Meanwhile other older dubs like this such as Pokémon, Sonic X, Kirby: Right Back At Ya!, etc. there's still no legal way to watch the show in the original Japanese format. I actually find it pretty baffling they haven't offered an official way to watch Pokémon in Japanese by now.
