Meiling made me cry back then.
The night before she goes back to HongKong and stayed the night over at Tomoyo's house.
My young, fragile heart... lol
It was dubbed in our language and it was actually pretty good.
maybe that's what made it more heartfelt.
as for the english dub.. i heard nothing but horrible things.
I believe another reason was to start a love triangle though I don't see it that way cause Syaoran was never romantically interested in Meling. I believe they also wanted her in to make Syaoran the butt of jokes earlier as well. Anyway I don't dislike Meiling I just felt her character was wasted cause she wasn't a proper part of a love triangle in the first place. Syaoran became more conscious of Sakura around the time Meiling showed up, and showed nothing but familial concern for her. She could have done more for the card capturing as well but unfortunately with no magic She couldn't help much except for the fight card.
reminds me of Rock Lee in TenTen's body
