Summary: If I Could Only Rate 0 Stars
Review: Save your money. Everybody knows this stuff is worthless with it's highly censored and edited storylines, poor voice acting, and tacky 3D computer generated images flashing over at every scene change. Save your money, especially now when there is something of a chance that sometime in the future an unedited Japanese language/English subtitled version will be made available. The Japanese version is much better (from my own personal experience). Save up for that. Besides, this show airs on at least *ONE* TV station everywhere in the USA weekly. Or maybe even daily. So if for some reason you're stuck on getting the dub, just buy some Maxell VHS tapes and record your own version off TV for free. Am I the only person realizing that even the art on the cover isn't a Japanese peice, but a poor American immitation?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!!
Review: This is a must-have for any American fan of Sailor Moon. The voices are terrific, and the songs are too! If you enjoy watching Sailor Moon on tv, you'll love this video. It has the first 4 of the tv episodes with the theme song and no commmercials! Recommended for all ages!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good for beginners, but...
Review: While this is the best chance a viewer can get to watch the beginning, be advised. This video is the first four episodes of DiC's dubbed Sailor Moon series.

For those who do not know the difference, ignorance is bliss. But DiC's attempts to edit out cultural references and inappropriate material went, shall we say, overboard. In the original two seasons, before the so-called "Lost Episodes", six episodes were omitted entirely, and two were so heavily editted that they had to be combined into a single episode to get enough air time! Ouch!

But otherwise, this is a must-have for any American Sailor Moon fan. The music is killer, the voice actors are great, and the action is second to none!

Need I go on?

Summary: In the beginning...
Review: This is a must have for anyone who has ever liked Sailor Moon. This is the beginning of the collection from Episode 1 of Series 1. It shows how it all began. It shows the meeting of the scouts, it shows.... Well, see for yourself. I wasn't a fan until I began watching the series a few months ago and I will buy the whole 82 episode series as soon as they all be come availabie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sailor Moon: The Legend Begins
Review: Gee, what can I say I bought this movie in hopes that it contained one of the few episodes that had never been seen in America, but I guess I was wrong. On the bottom it says Contains Previously Unreleased Episodes and I had heard from a web page that the Unrealeased Episode was one we've never seen before. But dispite my mis-understanding I was glad i bought it. Having the whole series in videos is great to collect and you can watch them anytime that you like. The sound and quality is much better than you's get by recording it off the T.V. and the cover boxes has great pictures on it. They still have the Sailor Says on the end of each episode and they have to start the show with the opening song animation and end it with end animation and song so it's kind of a hassel to get the the next episode. But I would buy for the sheer fact -more Sailor Moon bought in America the more we get-, and it's great to watch Thanks

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Save your Money
Review: Save your money on this one. You can get the same thing by buying a blank VHS and recording the episodes.

It wouldn't be so bad except the fact that they included the begging and the end after each of the four episodes and you have to reach for the remote to fast-forward to get to the next episode.

My recomendation is to save your money and wait until January for the DVD's of the Sailor Moon S series by Pioneer. Or the VHS's at least they seem to do things in a sensable order. Beginning, all the episodes, ending.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty Good
Review: A big Sailor Moon fan, I know DiC took out a lot and changed a lot too. I would recommend this for your kids, as it shows lots of positivity. But a true Sailor Moon fan of the original episodes would be mad at this because they "chopped" it up and changed 95% of it. The MUSICAL SCORE is fantastic. I actually prefer it, than the original. Just the score though. Some of the INSERTS are cool too.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Definetely Not for hardcore fans!
Review: I absolutely hate this video! DiC did a horrible job with the censoring and wording. Sailor Scouts, Negaverse! How lame! The only thing that got this video 1 star was the voices! If your a hardcore SM fan keep your money and save it for the DvD releases of the episodes of S and SuperS. (The DVD will be uncut and Dual Language).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sailor Moon's Beginning
Review: This video is very good for anyone who wants to get an understanding of the series. It is more suited for the teenage crowd, but is great for all ages. DIC released some Salior Moon Videos beforehand, but they were Pink and sparkly. These are now made to hide any embarrasment for any guy who wants to buy them!

[...] This season deals with the outer scouts Sailor Neptune, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Pluto, and another mysterious scout to be revealed.

Also the movies are available on video: The promise of the rose, Hearts in Ice, and The Black dream hole.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Start to the Series
Review: Sure, DiC cut out this and that, changed the music, but still, they did a pretty good job with this show. It introduces Serena, a teenage school girl who seems to think that all life is, is food, Manga, and boys. Unfortunately, her school grades aren't really what you would expect...But, one day, a black cat named Luna appears and says that she is the Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, who must defeat evil with the power of the moon.

I always have liked this series, both dubbed and the original. This is an absolute great buy!
