Fanon
This show was incredibly important for young LGBT+ kids and teens that felt represented, at a time where representation was scarce at best, and hostile at worst. The most popular ships, TouYuki and TomoSaku are beloved for this very same reason. Although one of the most popular ships, and the main one of the series, SakuSyao, is also very beloved for its revolutionary representation of an equal relationship and of a strong female protagonist fighting alongside her love interest. The show was a hit with both boys and girls in Japan, but a lot was changed in Nelvana and Warner Bros.’ English dub. Almost half the episodes were cut, character’s names were “Americanized”, a lot of Sakura’s characteristic traits were erased and the tone was more action-heavy to appeal to boys. And like Sailor Moon before it, all the LGBT+ content was censored or removed. Lots of English dubs changed or censored anime at this time, but Cardcaptors was particularly egregious because of how different the Japanese and original English versions really were.
