| Good question. I would also wanna know the answer to the OP's question tbh... |
| Perhaps because Sailor Moon characters look more mature which made them better role models. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| anime to the US was more foreign and exotic in the 90s and by the time cardcaptor sakura hit the magical girl trend had run its course |

| Word for word same as on Reddit. Lol https://old.reddit.com/r/cardcaptorsakura/comments/1c3pcct/why_did_the_cardcaptor_sakura_dub_failed_in_the/ Cardcaptor Sakura barely got any air time on Toonami it looks like and was in a less ideal time slot compared to Sailor Moon which aired at a time right when people in school got home and even got an 8.5 hour marathon at one point and a sweepstakes relating to it. https://toonami.fandom.com/wiki/Toonami_Lineups_%281997-2004%29 However you also are forgetting Saturday morning cartoons and local channel cartoon blocks on the daily during a limited time slot was a thing during this time period. Toonami was last to get Sailor Moon. It was on local channels before then in syndication. Syndication means it aired every weekday. From what i can find seems it aired early mornings so people watched it before going to school. I am having more trouble finding when Cardcaptor Sakura aired but I suspect it also may have been syndicated since it met the 65 minimum for five day a week syndication and i do know it aired on local channels so. I'm guessing it maybe on local channels also did not get an ideal time slot. |

| Them going out of their way to fuck up the entire plot, characterization, pacing, and voice acting of the dub didn't exactly help matters. |

| because the sailor scouts looks physically sexy |
| "Why did Cardcaptor Sakura failed in the US while Sailor Moon succeeded?" Because Sailor Moon is more fun? |
I Guess that i must be Totally Gay... as CC Sakura always appealed to me since i first came across it 20 years ago...  |
 |
| It did not get as good of a treatment, such as a worser time slot and the fact that there's more magical girl competitors it had to face. Since its from the same channl its not seen as anything as interesting |
| Sailor Moon is very gay, but with scenes that are ecchi. Cardcaptor Sakura is very gay, but there aren't a lot of girls in short skirts fighting. There is also the issue of censorship and episode cuts and I think Cardcaptor Sakura suffered more cuts than Sailor Moon(as far as I know). This reminds me that I dropped the Sailor Moon anime, maybe one day I'll try reading the manga. |

| I am a fan of both. They are one of my favorites. But they are very different. First, Sailor Moon came out several years before Sakura. It has many more episodes and characters. It's all more literal, it has advanced adult themes for the time. Michiru-Haruka is a great example. Another would be Fish Eye. The characters are minors but they look older. There are a lot of "filler" chapters that are fun, the rivals on duty are a beautiful bizarre thing. It has many films, it is still in tune after more than 30 years. As for Sakura, she is more brotherly and naive. It focuses more on relationships, away from the sexual. Although yes in orientations, but they do not develop beyond that. The characters are minor and seem as such. Obviously with more maturity, but that's typical of anime. The premise of the anime is the relationship between all the characters, living together, understanding each other. Many people even find it boring due to the fact that it has chapters where 15 minutes are spent just watching them cook, eat and chat pleasantly. The action is more relaxed, there is not as much darkness. It's all softer. Pleasant colors, flowers. Regarding the US, I don't know what it will be like. I am from Argentina. Both animes are quite popular here. But Sailor Moon was one of the first anime to appear on TV, back in the early 90s. Sakura in the late 90s. |

| Because only 39 of the 70 dubbed episodes aired in the USA. The fact that I'm only the 2nd out of 13 responses to provide such an obvious answer to your question (thanks @Absurdo_N) proves that the majority of MAL users know nothing about the USA. |

| Does it really matter? It is just anime. It is nothing to be taken seriously tbh... |
| I like Cardcaptor Sakura alot tbh...although I havent seen all of its episodes... |
| I don’t really know much about Sailor Moon but Cardcaptor Sakura had stuff like characters being in love with their cousins, child characters falling in love with their teachers, and male characters being attracted to other male characters (which at the time, probably would’ve gone down less well than two female characters being attracted to each other) which may have been harder to sell/censor properly. Idk though, just speculating really. |

| @Absurdo_N The same sex romantic feelings were removed from Sailor Moon but all romantic feelings removed from Cardcaptor Sakura. I dont know what else was removed from memory since ive yet to watch Sailor Moon and Im still going through Cardcaptor Sakura so i havent read through the list and dont plan on watching the dubs Lucifrost said: Because only 39 of the 70 dubbed episodes aired in the USA.

There was THAT much cut? That explains why i couldnt find information on it being syndicated because it wouldnt have been enough episodes to meet syndication requirements so it could have only aired once a week while Sailor Moon aired every weekday supposedly before it had a weekly broadcast. |
