Summary: great episodes
Review: The enchanting story of SAILOR MOON continues in this third volume of episodes from the first series.

Serena and Raye find themselves competing against each other to win a honeymoon trip to Hawaii in "Wedding Day Blues". Serena's friendship with a photographer leads to deadly complications in "Shutter Bugged". Sammy finds himself on the outer after smashing his friend's doll in "Dangerous Dollies". Molly's infatuation with the disguised Neflyte's alter-ego Maxfield Stanton almost kills her in "Who Is That Masked Man?". Animation school student Laurey finds herself a target of the Negaverse in "An Animated Mess" and in "Worth A Princess's Ransom", Luna and the girls attend the ball held in honor of the visiting Princess Diamond, convinced that it might be the elusive Moon Princess that they have been searching for.

Some fantastic episodes. Featuring the voice talents of Terri Hawkes and Mary Long.

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: Not the real show
Review: This DVD is horrible. This show is from Japan, and yet there is no option for a Japanese-language track. What about the fans of Sailor Moon who actually want the "real deal"? In the English version of the show, the plot is entirely different, entire scripts are changed, some episodes are completely cut out, and even the names of the characters are not the same. They have turned it into a completely different show. The company who did this DVD does a GREAT DISSERVICE to the pheonomenon that is Sailor Moon.

Summary: Molly and Nephrite's love affair!
Review: We see Serena engaged in battles and her wailing continues. Yet she manages to save the day! Hopefully they won't add any Sailor Moon says junk! I think that'll only cheap this DVD's value! Save that for the tapes!
