Summary: No uncut version!
Review: 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.

Summary: DO NOT WAIST YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY
Review: I am die-hard fan of the original Sailor Moon and the Manga, but the English version, just sucks. Here is the
list of complaints......

1. The voices. THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRLS, THEY HAVE THE VOICES OF TWENTY AND THRITY YEAR OLD WOMEN. Plus the nature of the voices dosen't suit the characters at all. Usagi(serena) sounds like thiry year old woman. Ami (Amy) also sounds like a thirty year old woman. Rei (raye) sounds like she has a permanat frog in her throught. Makoto (lita) sounds like she has a congested nose. Minkako (mina) sounds like another thirty year old women. Luna sounds like a freaking old english granny *shoot me* Also Marmoru or Endyimions (darien or prince darien's) voice sounds like a ten-year-old when he is supposed to be a collage student.

2. Sever and usless editing. Every episode has so many pointless edits it is not even funny. Ever heard of putting for ages so-and so-. The scene where Prince Endyimion is stabbed is taked out. Also the last English episode was originally one episode in Japan. They said that the senshi(scouts) were taken to the Negaverse, but the die. And this makes it seem like they are going on a vacation. The original entrence and exit songs are replaced with the English stuff which is awfull. Kunzite's (malachite's) death was...., there is no word to as how stupid it was

3. Music. This DVD has absolutely no qualiy in music, what-so-ever. The theme songs is just a bung of little girls singing 'she is the one named sailor moon' over and over and over and over again; it drives me crazy. They sing the same song the the entrence and exit songs, which drives me nutts too.

4. Unlike original this version is just plain boring after a while. In the original this is non-stop action, yet here it is lets-take-our-time.

Actually I could go on for hours with how much is wrong with this DVD. I am a die-hard anime fan, and with dubbing in English this seris was dubbed very poorly. There could of been a lot more effort into making it have much better quality. Don't waist your hard earned money on this peice of junk.

Summary: Sailor Moon finally confronts Queen Beryl
Review: SAILOR MOON continues on DVD with this 7th volume of episodes that conclude Series 1.

"Tuxedo Unmasked" - Darien is still tormented by his alter-ego Tuxedo Mask, leading to complications.

"Fractious Friends" - Could the Sailor Scouts be splitting up? A rather suspicious reporter decides to investigate...

"The Past Returns" - In order to understand the battle ahead, Queen Serenity transports Serena and the Scouts back to the Moon Kingdom to reveal their mysterious past.

"Day of Destiny" - With Malachite destroyed, Sailor Moon and the Scouts have only one more obstacle - Queen Beryl. But what about the dreaded Doom and Gloom Girls? The conclusion of Series 1.

SERIES 2 (Sailor Moon R)

"The Return of Sailor Moon" - With all memories of being Sailor Moon gone, Serena is once again a normal teenager...but not for long. A new enemy leaves Luna no other choice than to bring Sailor Moon and the Scouts back for another battle.

"So You Want to Be in Pictures?" - Raye, Lita, Amy, Mina and Molly are all mysteriously invited to audition for a movie. And just who are the new students at Crossroads Elementary?...

The story just keeps getting better. SAILOR MOON is fantastic and charming for anime fans.

Summary: Sailor Moon Manga or Anime
Review: Sailor Moon is a great anime. I wish I had never bought the manga. They are both the same. I love these episodes on this DVD. I was sort of disappointed about the last episode because of the clips from earlier episodes. The best part was when Serena and Darien were in the hospital and the sweet romantic Dialogue between them. Sure this episode was edited heavily but the excellent acting more than makes up for this flaw. I'd like trecommend this to all young Sailor Moon fans and lovers of Dubbed Anime like me.

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.
