Card Captor Sakura is really really funny. I love 
the romance between Syaoran & Sakura, it's so 
cute. But, I'm a female and a big shoujo fan ... 
this stuff is ~made~ for people like me. It's 
supposed to appeal to your "it's SOO cute and 
SOOO sweet" gene. I personally get sucked in 
every time ^_^; and my husband is very fond of 
Suppi & Kero because they are really amusing (I 
highly recommend the Kero Special from Card 
Captor Sakura movie 2, Tiny Toons eat your heart 
out). Again, subtitled only on this series.

On Gundam Wing, I have yet to find someone who 
can convince me that any of the GW boys are 15, 
they all look about 18+ to me ^_^;;. And did you 
know Zechs is supposed to be 19, and Treize 20 or 
something? Yeah ~right~, they got that powerful 
and yet they can't even legally drink yet. 
Reality is bent a little in GW. I had a few 
issues with the dub (Zech's voice mostly >.<, and 
the lack of Hikaru Midorkawa as Heero...) but 
overall if you watched the uncut dubbed, it's 
good. It's just one of those series that make you 
think ^_^;

Another thing that Japanese Animation has going 
for it is that it is usually beautiful. I can't 
watch a lot of the "cartoons" on TV now, I just 
find things like Rugrats and that Dogcat show and 
the show with the cow to be offensive and ugly 
and just plain uninteresting. Powerpuff girls is 
nifty, but I think that's because it really 
is "cute" and they don't try to be disgusting in 
it.

Also, age has nothing to do with liking something 
^_^; Just because I like a show like Card Captor 
Sakura doesn't mean I am lusting after the 
characters, I just enjoy the sweet story. The 
characters can be age 10 or age 70, the romance 
is what was important to me (and in this show the 
humor too). I'm 28 & female btw.

Anyway, just my opinion  ^_^
