Unfortunately, I think the only petition that would get anywhere would be a pre-order petition where countless people handed over enough money to cover the cost of licensing and subtitling.

I should have taken the opportunity to get the box sets when I had the chance in '05. Unfortunately the only version I ever saw in Australia was the Cardcaptors version. Was about to buy the $600 complete set from Amazon when the purchase was denied due to the foreign policy. Then I read your review. Colours off?!? Cropping?!? On second thought, I think I'll just head off to Chinatown and get me that AnimeCartoon version. If the popularity of Tsubasa Chronicles is anything to go by, hopefully the licensing company will wake up and realize how much more they'd make if they actually re-released the series. Petitions anyone? I’m kinda miffed. I should have taken the opportunity to get the box sets when I had the chance in ‘05.
