Review: I got this box set as a gift and the audio is a bit faulty and the picture could be better and there's no special material which is why I couldn't give it a 5. However, I am as pleased as punch to get this as a gift. This is great for a Sailor fan like me who's waited forever to be able to have these episodes on DVD the way they were MEANT to be seen. Not VHS "fansubs" that could get eaten any time, and not some hacked to shreds dub like DIC where they all sound like british ditzes. Big thanks to ADV. :D! See what a horrible injustice DiC has done to this series!

Summary: IF I COULD I'D GIVE SAILOR MOON 10 STARS!!
Review: This set is awesome....not only do you get an accurate translation instead of that kiddy DIC *censored* you also get the entire series...meaning the episoodes they refused to aire in the U.S. While some complain of poor visual and audio quality i saw no evidece of this. Visual quality was superb....and the ONLY audio quaility i noticed was in the theme song (the original, not that *censored* DIC *censored*)where i think it seem dulled out....but other than that...nothing else. This collection is a must have for all die hard sailor moon fans and those just getting into sailor moon.

There are episodes so touching....i balled like a baby when i finally...for the first tiome got to see the final show down between sailor moon and beryl.

I'm still trying to get over the fact that *censored* DIC cut a 1 hour season finale episode to 20 *censored* minutes! THEY LEFT SO MUCH OUT!!!! IMPORTANT STUFF!! Like how the scouts die....when Sailor moon is forced to fight endymion....and even her battle against beryle....plus you finally understand after watching this how all the scouts lost their memories and are returned to life to continue on in season 2.

If You love love sailor moon....then you better not even think twice about bying it...GET IT! I know it isnt cheep....but there are some great used copies out there! I bought mine used and they work great!

Summary: Worth watching once but not buying...
Review: As a child, I was a huge Sailor Moon fan.
I bought this DVD set about a month ago, and although it was OK to watch it once, I don't think it is worth paying 70~90 bucks.
The japanese voice does start to sound quite annoying after a while.
And although it claims that it is 'uncut', I did not find much difference between the version on DVD and TV.
Also, compared to other seasons of Sailor Moon, the pictures are of not-so-good quality (the company didn't have a huge budget for Sailor Moon at first so the picture quality isn't as good as the later ones, like Sailor Moon SuperS or Sailor Moon Stars)
I would give it 3.5 stars but Amazon doesn't have the half-point option, so I am giving it 4 stars.

Summary: Good but not Great
Review: Having just recieved Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Box set 1; I have to say it's almost everything I thought it would be - From the scenes to whole episodes cut from the US edition to the look of the set.

The only negative is the audio which sometimes ranges from Tinny to slightly muffled. It would be understandible if it weren't for the fact ADV's other Sailor Moon DVD's in Japanese sound so much better then this.

No extra's bring the score lower but in the end all the people it was meant for won't have any objections.

Summary: A great boon to Sailor Moon fans in North America.
Review: This set was a revelation after watching the hacked to pieces, politically correct DIC/Cloverway version of this show on YTV in Canada for years.

Missing scenes put back in place, dialouge that made sense (well subtitled dialouge anyway), and of course the missing episodes.

The missing from the dubbed episode where Minako (Mina), or Sailor Venus's past as Sailor V in England was revealed was both enlightening and heartbreaking at the same time. Seeing the final two episodes in their entirety was great, and again heartbreaking as well.

Yes I'll admit freely that I, a 33 year old man, cried freely watching those three episodes. Happy? Moving on.

After several years of the bad dubs, this set was a breath of fresh air. Now hurry up and bring the 5th and final season out already!
