Summary: Pretty Soldier in a Sailor Suit
Review: Okay guys.. I have been waiting for this for years. YEARS. I watched this show when DiC bought the rights and played it at 6:30 AM and then when Cartoon Network played it on Toonami. Over and over. I've been bleeding and sweating Sailor Moon for years. but despite my love for the series, the corny English-ized version started to pain me. Especially when they came out with the S series. Being beat in the face with the incestuous Amara and Michelle made my innards hurt (to their credit, they managed to find a decent voice actress for Hotaru.) But lo! Now ADV brings us the series uncut and Japanese! Huzzah!Be warned.. the sound quality is second-rate. No digital-remastering on this set, friends. I would have prefered they put a bit more effort into this. The dvd menus were pretty blase as well. Not what I expected from ADV at all after seeing thier release of Excel Saga. The overall quality is reminiscent of a fan job. But.. it's my favourite series, and if you love Sailor Moon, I would suggest it to you. Wait until you see the episodes DiC left out!

Summary: Less than meets the eye
Review: What a disappointment! This beautifully packaged full-box set of SAILOR MOON Season 1 has faded colors and some of the poorest audio I have ever experienced. If I am shelling out well over a hundred dollars for a DVD set I expect some quality for my investment, and this ADV presentation falls well short of that. I've emailed ADV repeatedly for an explanation of the lousy sound and image but have received no reply. Looks like all their budget went into the packaging at the expense of the contents.

Summary: Flawed... But worth every penny
Review: This is by far the best collection of Sailor Moon put out to date. The translation can be kind of inaccurate, at times (the actual series never used any of that "truth and love" stuff, yet it appears in the subtitles...), but it is still far better than the dubbed, American version, which has been watered down and politically-corrected far beyond the point of return. Not perfect, but worth buying.

Summary: This is the best Sailor Moon EVER!!
Review: After I watched the first season of Sailor Moon Un-cut in Japanese language the first I thought was that the sound was a little bad in the beginning, but it changed when I got used to it. This is the greatest anime ever (dear readers, this is no BS). The voices suit, the whole season is un-cut, so you can watch all the scenes which were flipped in the DiC dub (the missing episodes too. Those who believe that the translation is totally wrong, aren't right, because if you watch the German version you'll eventually find out that the translation was made correctly. Every Sailor Moon fan should buy this even if it's extremely expensive. Have fun with it!!!

Summary: Good translation but low volume
Review: The subtitled translation is very accurate, but I have to boost up the volume in order to hear the dialogue. Some episodes are louder then others. The picture quality and sound is not as good as my Sailormoon Laser Dics, but these are in Japanese with no subtitles. I bought the dvds just to be able to understand what they are saying. You will be very impressed with the difference between the English Dub and the Japanese version. A must for Sailormoon fans, but I am giving it a low rating due to the sound and picture quality.

Summary: I have entire sailor collection and it's great!
Review: I don't have the Sailor Moon DVD on all 5 of the seasons but I do have them on video(I bought it on Ebay). I also got the Sailor Moon SuperS specials including "Ami-chan no hatsukoi"("Ami-chan's first love") on DVD (I got that from the fansubbed VKLL, which appears later on in the season or maybe on the DVD you guys purchased). I am giving the whole Sailor Moon series 5 stars instead of the DVD, since I don't have the DVD and I heard that the audio isn't that great. Anyway, I love the Sailor Moon series in Japanese, even though the English version got me started on it. I didn't like the original Sailor Moon at first, when I got the Sailor Moon R movie subtitles on VHS, I picked up the wrong box! But I got used to reading the subtitles and I love the song, "Moon Revenge". Now, I think the English version also sucks, especially the first and second season. On the first season, they totally skipped over about 6 episodes, especially the important episode about Minako's past. I love the Japanese seiyuu (voices), Kotono Mitsuishi's voice (Usagi) and Rica Fukami (Minako) the most. I really wish (in a way) that America could come out with Sailor Stars so I could compare it to the original version. The original is always the best anyway. The original also brings out the best in the characters, unlike the American version. Despite the DVD, every Sailor Moon episode is the best. Just why did it have to take so long to come out with it? Here I am 22 and when it came to America in 1995, I was 13, but the original release, I was about 10. Yes, I am a grown woman, but I still love Sailor Moon to this very day!

Summary: I love Sailor Moon! But, translators deserve a quick slap!
Review: I collected all the DVDs released on amazon.com, and I had been waiting a long time with eager hopes that eventually, you would be able to get original episodes, uncut, and with great subtitles. This is what you *almost* have here! The original music, voices, cut scenes, cut EPISODES from the English variation (6 out of 46, if you count that the last episodes were cut down into one episode in the English version). However, the translators were lazy. Anyone who knows anything about Sailor Moon (or a little Japanese, which I do) knows that she nevers says any of that Champion of love and justice crap. Usually, what she's actually saying is something along the lines of "pretty soldier in a sailor suit." "Sailor fuku bishoujo senshi." They just copied that other phrase, among several others, direct out of the English version. The subtitles aren't accurate to what they are saying in Japanese. However, some things were changed and translated properly. It's still quite disappointing, though, that you'll have to learn Japanese or have someone who knows Japanese already to explain to you what they're actually saying without subtitles still. Way to go, ADV. However, it's still great! I mean, hearing the original voices and everything is *so* worth it. Even if the subtitles are sad (especially when the title on the cover of the DVD boxes is a mark off of her popular quote that they maimed), there's so much you miss in the English version. DIC cuts out entire back stories and supports to the plot. If you're a real Sailor Moon fan, you're gonna want to check this out!

Summary: Sailor Moon -Season One (Japanese Edition)
Review: This movie is actually good. Yeah you have to listen to the Japanese language and yeah you will have to constaintly read the English closed captions. But hey its not so bad. Its worth doing if your a real Sailor Moon fan. Hey, at least you don't have to see those stupid "Sailor Says" and no commercial breaks.Oh, and P.S to all the GUY'S that love Sailor Moon but are afraid to come out and admit it because Sailor Moon seems like a girls cartoon. I just got to say don't be afraid. I'm not. I know alot of guys who watch Sailor Moon. It's the action that got all of us hooked on it.
