Summary: Season 2 is here, how does it stand up??
Review: When I purchased Sailor Moon Season 1:Uncut Box Collection, I was very pleased with the Box design itself. It was made with quality. However, when I put in the first DVD and played episode 1...I was fairly dissapointed with the quality of Audio and Video. Now that Season 2 is here, I am even more outraged. I thought maybe ADV would've learned from their mistakes, but they haven't. The audio is okay until you get to the 5th disc and all you can hear is disturbance. Much worse then Season 1. The video quality was good. I mean, you can't get much better from a Anime that is 11 years old. But what I still can't get out of my head, is that Pioneer did a Fantastic job with Season 3&4 and added a bunch of extras PLUS the english and Japanese versions. It's annoying...seeing as I paid $200 (canadian) and I got low quality. If you're a huge Sailor Moon fan, buy it...it won't get any better then this. I would've given a 5 if it weren't for the annoying interferece of sound in the Audio.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not really uncut
Review: Where to begin? Yes, it's nice that we now have the original Japanese version on DVD now, but with all the problems with this set, perhaps we should have waited a little bit longer. For instance, there are audio problems abound where everything sounds fuzzy and muted, not to mention about 15 seconds of dub ausio (!) in episode 68. That might be forgiven, were it not for other problems on top of that. The second opening was blurred in some places to make way to credit the songs, and some attack names -- which were already in English -- were mistranslated (!). ("Moon Princess Halation" became "Moon Princess Elimination", which was not the dub name, but rather a combo of the two.) My biggest gripe is that an entire episode was cut. Does it really matter if it was filler, or a bad episode, or anything else like that? An episode was cut. So one can't exactly call the release "uncut", now can they?

If you have fansubs, stick with them. They're probably of a more professional quality anyway.
