Rating: Summary: Not the End of the Story! Review: This is an excellent DVD. Finally SuperS gets away from the slower pace found earlier in the season and has a major boost of action and events. Although the story seems to come to a close, there is more. The tale of Nehelenia has SIX more episodes after this one. Unfortunately, at the time of writing this review it seems unlikely that those six episodes will ever be released in the United States any time soom
The six episodes that follow this dvd mentioned above have Sailor Neptune, Uranus, Pluto and yes even Saturn join in for the final battle against Nehelenia who has been a given new power.
Still, considering that we're given only part of the ending here, the end of SuperS gives enough closure to the story to be satisfying. This dvd shows why SuperS is a good series, even if it is so dramatically different from the rest of Sailor Moon.
Rating: Summary: The end of SuperS Review: Well, not exactly the end, but pretty close to it. SuperS goes straight into StarS but in America, sadly, this is the furthest Sailor Moon has gotten.I really like the how this was ended. It reminded me of how the movies end. I'm not going to spoil the ending for you but trust me, if you like the SuperS series, this is a must have. There are only three episodes on this DVD but its worth every penny.
Rating: Summary: The darker side of Sailor Moon Review: While I'm not a big fan of the 4th season of Sailor Moon in general, I have to say that it is one of my favorite finales to a season. It is a little darker in the tone of the final episodes, and even the actual ending isn't as "all's well that end's well" as the other seasons' finales. (although in the japanese version of the 1st season, the scouts all die, so I guess you can't get any darker than that...but they all just magically are reborn into the exact same time they left, so that makes it kinda cheap). This is also the beginning of the dragging out of the endings. The first season (uncut) spanned 2 episodes, the 2nd season, 3. This one is almost 4 1/2 (starting at the end of Collection 6). But for those of you who are going to see the Stars season, be warned. The finale covers almost the last 8 episodes! The music throughout the 4th season is excellent, as well...quite in keeping with the wonderful score of the 3rd season. The fact that the DVD only has 3 episodes doesn't bother me too much. After all, the price is dropped accordingly. What is a bummer is the lack of extras on this (and basically every other Sailor Moon) DVD. While some have production sketches, or little biographies of the Scouts, I find all the DVDs lacking in the extras department. Maybe a bio on Sailor Moon in general, interviews with the voice actors, etc.
If you are reading this, you are probably a Sailor Moon fan and are going to buy this DVD anyway. But if you need a recommendation, I would give it for this (and Collection 6) very freely! The SuperS season may start off slowly, but it finishes with a bang!

Rating: Summary: The BEST DVD in the Sailor Moon Super S series!!!! Review: Wow! I was very impressed, especially with the action, unlike the rest of the super s series. I have most of the other ones and it's not as intreading. It's the same old "find-the-mirror-pegasus-is-in," and it gets really boring after a while. This is where the climax of the season is at its highest. If you have seen this series on tv and plan on buying it, get only THIS DVD, but one piece of advice: watch it in JAPANESE with subtitles. You'll appreciate sailor moon even more and find that the english version is incredibly corny. Beyond that, I recommend this DVD very much.

Rating: Summary: Great ending to a great season! Review: Wow! what an awesome season of SM come to a perfect close! this is an awesome DVD! the only thing is that you have to watch the episodes that the DVD follows up on (unless you're good at guessing, like me!). It begins that Chibi-Moon has been kidnapped by Queen Nehelania and her dream mirror is stolen so Nehelania can finally have Pegasus! The extras on this DVD aren't impressive, but you can watch the episodes in both English and Japanese with subtitles. I prefer Japanese version, but the only flaw is that some of teh lines aren't as funny as they are in English. It's interesting to see how the scripts differ, though. sometimes teh English version put in lines where the Japanese version had no dialogue. Overall, an awesome DVD that is sure to make you sensitive ones cry!
