Summary: YUCK its not the Japanese Uncut Version
Review: I love sailor moon in its orignal japanese form not the edited version. I like uncut dubs not edits. In America This is a kid show. In Japan its an older teen anime for kids 15+ or 13+. Sailor MoonR is finally availble in japanese with subtiles. I ignore sailor moon dubbed and watch the amazing subtile version. Usagi is the BEST.

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.

Summary: No uncut version!? WTF!?
Review: [If you like the review, you need to push YES, not NO. Many of you fail to understand that.]

For those of you who don't know, Sailor Moon is an anime series about a group of girls with the ability to transform into warriors so that they can battle the forces of evil. It sounds like something that's been done to death, but this series pulls it off nicely. Each episode of the series contains a good deal of dramatic action, with some comedy thrown in to make the series a bit more appealing. Originally it was intended for pre-teenage girls in Japan, but it has drawn in fans from many age groups and nationalities. The series began airing in America as early as 1995, but the episodes were horribly edited, and the dialogue was butchered. The poor time slot didn't help things ever, and eventually it vanished without a trace, until it was picked up by the Cartoon Network, which aired several new episodes, but these suffered the same flaws as their early North American predecessors.

This DVD is of the series as it appeared on Cartoon Network, and that is NOT a good thing. The main reason I buy anime DVDs is for an uncut Japanese subtitled version, AND THIS DVD DOESN'T HAVE ONE! That pretty much ruins the DVD. The only thing that saves this from a single star is that it's part of the Sailor Moon series. If you want the uncut version of these episodes, you're not gonna find it here.
