Summary: Sailor Jupiter Comes thundering in!
Review: I'm looking forward to this DVD's release. The best Season of Sailor Moon. I've wished for this day and it came true! Hopefully they'll get with the program and produce hybrid DVDs as well as Toonami editions! Which I'll gladly purchase!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: charming anime
Review: SAILOR MOON continues on DVD with this fourth volume of six episode detailing the arrival of Sailor Jupiter (Lita).

The episodes contained here are-

"Molly's Folly" - Molly's relationship with Neflyte's alter ego Maxfield Stanton almost destroys her when Zoycite intervenes.

"A Friend in Wolf's Clothing" - Neflyte's last episode. Molly is almost killed in the crossfire between Sailor Moon and a showdown with Zoycite's henchmen.

"Jupiter Comes Thundering In" - A new girl has arrived at Crossroads Elementary, and Serena decides to befriend her. Little does she know that Lita is in fact the newest Sailor Scout!

"The Power of Friendship" - the girls decide to get acquainted with their new member.

"Mercury's Mental Match" - A new boy arrives at school and rival's Amy as the class 'brain'. But could he be working for the Negaverse?

"An Artful Attack" - Serena and Derian befriend artist Peggy Jones, who comes under the spell of the evil Queen Beryl.

As always, SAILOR MOON is a wonderful anime series!

Summary: A Pretty Bad Dub
Review: These DVDs contain DiC's dub of the first and second "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon" series from Japan, Classic and R. They are in English only; there are no original Japanese episodes. The episode previews and the Sailor Says segments are included, but the commercial bumpers aren't. There are no bonus features except for previews of other ADV titles. The DVDs and the episodes aren't numbered, so you'll have to check either an online episode guide or Amazon to figure out which volume to watch first. 6 of the episodes were skipped, and 2 of the episodes were chopped up and merged into 1. In fact, all of the episodes have been chopped up. DiC felt the need to remove or alter shots of Japanese writing (but not all of them), add in extra bits of animation, and use weird scene transition effects. The translations are pretty inaccurate for the most part, and some of the casting (such as Luna and Molly's voices) are totally wrong. The dialogue is also dumbed down to make the series (which was originally intended for junior high and high school girls) suitable for children. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars each have 2 voice actors. Tuxedo Mask has 3. Rini's voice is really annoying. The dub was my first exposure to Sailor Moon, though (well, technically, "Lunarock" was), and it's an okay series as long as you don't compare it to the original Japanese series. If you've never seen Sailor Moon before, get the "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon" boxed sets.
