Summary: What I've been waiting for!!
Review: Finally,the first season uncut!I grew up on the DIC dubbed version,but as I got older and got into anime more,I was upset with how they ripped it to shreds.Now that it's finally available uncut you can:
1.See Zoisite as a man
2.Watch the episodes that were never shown
3.Here the Senshi's original voices!
This box set is bit pricy,but it's worth it if your a hardcore fan!

Summary: awesome...
Review: i have been a huge sailor moon fan for like 8 years... and it is what got me into anime in the first place. since i live here (as in the US) i first saw sailor moon dubbed and i fell in love with it. i just loved the whole concept of the show. i just thought it was great. but over the years i have seen the sm movies, lots of other anime and read manga as well. now i understand why everything is so much better in japanese with subtitles. but i have always stood by americanized sailor moon just because i thought it was a good show.... NOW after watching this i CAN NOT believe how it was changed!!!!! the japanese version is 5 million times better. this is a must see for anyone who likes sailor moon - even if it is only a little bit. it is much more funny and sad at the same time. the end made me cry and i have watched the DiC version way too many times. the music is more beautiful and a lot of things that really did not make sense from the DiC version are explained here. basically everything is better. i reccommend this for anyone who is an anime lover and especially to anyone who has ever seen sailor moon. i think this is something for everyone~

Summary: Finally, the real Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon!
Review: This is the best thing to happen to Sailor Moon fans in the US to date! Every episode is here in its orginal form! US "Moonies" can now watch episodes that DiC skipped (like "The Summer! The Ocean! Our Youth! And a Ghost, too) and see the orginal final episodes (the final dubbed episode is actually two episodes that were cut to shreads by DiC and put into one episode) Plus hear the orginial voices (no more British Ami-chan and Luna-chan, and Zoisite as a guy!! *happiness!*) The only problem with the subtitling is that when Sailor Moon does her speech, it is supposed to say "For love and justice, I am the Pretty Sailor Suited Soldier, Sailor Moon! And in the name of the moon, I shall punish you!" Instead it reads, "Sailor warrior for love and justice, Sailor Moon. In the name of the moon, I shall punish you!" But, at least it is much closer than DiC's speech! All in all, this DVD box set is the best!!

Summary: Almost Perfect
Review: I never liked the US version of sailor moon. In fact it nearly put me off the entire show, though I loved the Manga. But finally I got to see the entire first series without the stupid (and pointless) cuts. The soundtrack is supposed to be sterio, but is infact mono. The quality of the soundtract is what you would expect of a tv show from the early nineties, so I can live with that. The subtitles are good, though I'm certain the characters don't say "shoot". This is strange as in one episode, a character is called a Bastard (just like Me!) In fact other than that, and in one place where the sailor soldiers rent a "Pension" (should be mansion!!!) the subtitles are well done. If you are expecting a lot of extras, then forget it. There aren't any, except some ADV previews. But who cares? The print is fine, with no DVD artifacts, just a few minor scratches on the original. One episode also judders slightly at the start. If you like the awful dub, then you may not like this. There is more violence and some gay references (but you probably knew that zoisite was gay, didn't you.) I love this set and if anyone from ADV reads this, please hurry up and release season 2 - uncut!

Summary: A Great Season but the Audio Could Use Work!
Review: I loved Sailor Moon when it came out in the US back in 1993. I watched it religiously (at 6:30 in the morning!), and it was part of the reason why I really got into anime. So, when I saw the 1st Season beckoning me at the Suncoast booth (at Anime Expo) I knew I had to get it. While Sailor Moon is formulaic in all its incarnations, I'd honestly forgotten exactly HOW original much of the 1st season was. Usagi is lazy, whiny and definitely NOT super-hero material. She changes into someone who her friends can depend on when the chips are down, but does a lot of struggling and whining on the way. Her core group of friends are introduced in this season and it's a joy to see all of them interact, whether it is Rei and Usagi fighting again, or Luna praising Ami while sighing over Usagi's mistakes. However, don't take that to mean that there is no formula -- there is. However, there are several arcs within the first season, depending on which of Beryl's minions are in charge. Jadeite had his mission of collecting energy, and Nephrite with his search for the Silver Crystal. Zoisite found the Rainbow Crystals, etc. Within each seperate episode, Usagi and her friends find time to shop, argue, fall in love and eventually save people from the Dark Kingdom. The DVDs themselves are bare-bones. The episodes are all that are given to us -- no extras, no interviews, not even a character guide. The visuals are dated (as this show dates from over 10 years ago!) but it is quite recognizably Sailor Moon. However, it was really the audio I had a problem with -- MONO! The voice acting is wonderful, but I could barely hear it sometimes! Some episodes are better than others, and there are less problems as the series goes on, but in general, the sound quality is quite bad. This probably wasn't ADV's fault -- maybe the masters they had? In any case, the first season of Sailor Moon is a classic which still has the power to make me nostalgic and make me tear up a little. Mamoru and Usagi's growing affection and past&present love is something which makes this series really wonderful to watch, and of course, the fact that the last 3 episodes are UNCUT and in Japanese is something to treasure.

Summary: Days gone by...
Review: Just think after eleven years! But eleven years has been a while...since then, anime has become very much advanced in animation and even character design. Most of America doesn't get too many opportunities to see the quality and drama that comes with earlier anime, even those aimed toward younger kids. I love the nostalgia that comes with the almost gritty opening song and the cute, chubby Usagi with unrealistic proportions (her head!). The romantic handpainted background from the end brings back memories of anime like those of "A Dog Called Flanders" or a childhood favorite: Princess Sara. There's just a sweetness and realistic portrayal of emotions for the sake of emotion rather than flashy gimmicks; its depth goes beyond words. It's not forced philosophy, it's just life with a beautiful twist. For those looking into a beautiful, sincere (there's just really no other way to put it!), classy storyline and storytelling with quirky characters that are simply unforgettable, you simply CANNOT pass up such an opportunity. For those already familiar with anime...this is a CLASSIC! Mind you, this is a show aimed at 7 year olds...I'm sure kids who can read words like "Supreme" and "inspired" can handle it (since there seem to be quite a few warnings on subject matter).

Summary: Sailor moon is #1
Review: Well I ordered this item because I have always loved Sailor Moon, I have been seing this since I was very young, and was crushed when they cancelled it, and I saved a lot of money buying it together instead of all of them seperate DVDs, but when I got it the only problem with it is that it does not have any other features, like trailers, and outakes, or an art gallery. And anohter thing is that when they said that it was uncut, they meant it, I mean they evn left the oriinal Japanese language on it, and no English language options, so if you don't mind reading subtitles, and your going to buy this, you better learn how to talk Japanese!

Summary: MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT -- Terrible Sound & Poor Video Quality
Review: As a true Sailor Moon fan, I love this show as much as anyone else, but the sound on my set of DVDs is so awful, it's like listening to a 78 RPM record from the 1930s played underwater. Maybe I just got a lemon, but if ADV put this out knowingly, then it's a cynical, mean, rip-off. I have lots of anime TV show DVDs, including Pioneer's Japanese-language Sailor Moon discs, and NO other has such awful sound. The visual quality is remarkably poor, too; like a copy of a copy of a VHS tape. This is VERY shoddy workmanship all around (except for the external packaging, which looks great). But it was the sound that really burst my bubble. I refuse to keep this set, it's too insulting. It demeans the show and it demeans me, sitting here listening to this murky soundtrack and watching the fuzzy picture, thinking what a chump I was to buy it. ADV has infuriated fans before (with their packaging of Evangelion, for instance, which I've also seen) but this is the pits. I'm very unlikely to ever buy any ADV product again. What a shame Pioneer didn't get the rights to these episodes. Or The Right Stuf. Anybody but ADV. If you really want to see the first season as it was meant to be seen, I suppose you'll have to pay ADV unless you have access to an older VHS fansub production. Just be aware that you're going to pay a lot of money (even at discount) for what appears to be deliberately designed as sub-standard merchandise intended for what ADV presumably considers a less-demanding and "captive" market.

Summary: Buyers Beware
Review: I am giving one star to this DVD set to bring attention to the quality of the DVD set. People have reported major sound issues, and others have reported video corruption of episode 24. You may want to do a little research on this issue before ordering. As for the show, I love it. It was what got me started watching anime. I would give it 5 stars if the quality of the DVDs were up to par. BTW, most of the high rankings given by others were for the show and not the DVDs. The DVDs were release 7/15/03. Look at the date of the reviews before making a judgement. Don't get burned. Good luck.
