Summary: Very good - if you put on the *japanese* track
Review: If you watch this DVD in japanese with english subtitles, it is excellent, and I would certainly give it 5 stars. The acting is well done and the story begins to unfold more in this volume. However, I only gave it 4 stars because of the english track. The acting and voices are terrible with one or two exceptions, but that isn't the main problem - the problem is that the english track is *NOT* uncut - scenes that were taken out are back in, however all the dialog changes such as Michiru and Haruka being cousins, the conversations that were completely changed around, the names, and all the stupid valley girl slang and such have not been changed to the correct dialog. Unless you are watching this with the japanese voices and english subtitles, you are still watching a heavily edited and far inferior Sailormoon. However, if you watch this with the japanese track, it's a really great buy and an enjoyable watch, especially if you're a Sailormoon fan.

Summary: Sailor moon
Review: Its brill you get the best of both! not only do you get the amazing original version but you get to see the dubbed to! they are in a way two different stories because things are changed in the dub but its still good!

Sailor moon is about a teenage girl who has to save the world and do homework oftern in the same night (though she oftern neglects the homework!!) Serina or Usagi (bunny moon) is a normalish girl who becomes earths last defense from the negamoon! along with her friends she fights for love and justice! plus for all you girlies out there you get to watch a kawaii guy! Tuxcedo mask!! lol!

This is a great watch and I think its well worth the dosh!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but not great.
Review: Lemme tell you this, I love the Sailor Moon series. However, compaired to the OTHER discs in the series, this is the worst. The best, is either the 1st disc, or the 3rd. By all means, if you collect the DVD's... GET IT! But, if you only watch it now and then, I'd advise you NOT to get it. Oh well, I have the new Simpsons DVD I preordered and the new Heart Collection (Vols. 9-10) coming soon, which I cannot wait for.

Summary: Sailor Moon S Heart Collection II
Review: My fav. episode in this one was Retire from the Sailor Soldier!?
Minako's Concerns. You learn a lot about Mina because you never really know she loves volleyball. But I loved Rei's episode. Everything you want to know about Rei and Chad is here. Sailor Mars and Venus are stars in this DVD. One of the most exciting things is that at the very end, you see Eugeal, but only her face shadow. It's really mysterious, and later you find out she's the most violent witch. I really do love this movie, and if I had a choice, I would give this 10 stars. This is probably my favorite movie!! If you notice this, Venus' Love Me Chain is the most used attack in the S Season. GET THIS 1!!

Summary: More romance, comedy and disco music from Usagi and co. ^^
Review: Presumably you're only going to buy this disc if you've already got the first one, since starting in the middle of a series like this that's only semi-episodic wouldn't make sense. Well, to be honest, it's as simple as this: If you liked the first volume, buy this. If you didn't, don't. It's essentially more of the same, and there are only two non-filler episodes (although one of the others advances the plot a tiny bit). In total there are six episodes - one less than on the last disc, but still amazing value for money with the uncut subs and dubs of episodes that are spread across two VHS tapes.

Speaking of the dub, only one of the episodes on this disc is an inaccurate dub, although that one really is awful (it's the infamous episode where they tried to cover up homosexual themes by adding them). So, although I prefer the original, if you want to watch the dub you don't have *too* much to worry about in this case.

Now onto the actual quality of the disc. It's a fairly old show, and the Japanese aren't exactly famed for keeping their masters in good condition, so you'd expect it to be quite grainy, and of course it is. Also the sound is in mono and is quite scratchy in parts. But in all honesty, since this is DVD, this is the best Sailor Moon's ever looked or sounded (sad as that may seem), and neither of these things take away from the show itself. Also, from the fourth episode on this disc the 'zooming' problem many fans had reported is gone (and the colours look a lot brighter too for some reason). The wrong opening is still used and the previews are still gone, but annoying as both those things are they don't make the show less enjoyable.

The Sailor Jupiter animated menus are quite nice, although I did like the Sailor Moon ones on the first disc better. As for extras, the Jupiter profile and gallery is okay, and the creditless version of Tuxedo Mirage (the ending song), including a karaoke version with light-up subtitles, is pretty cool.

So overall this disc is average technically speaking, but excellent in terms of value for money and (in my opinion) content.

If all else fails, buy it for the absolutely *perfect* cover art :) And if you don't like the nicely shaded picture of Mars and Venus across a flaming starry night background (...) you can swap it for the mediocre picture of Sailor Moon on a blue starry night background that's on the reverse side of the sleeve.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sailor Moon Super DVD #2.
Review: Sailor Moon is a great anime series. This DVD, containing about 7 episodes uncut dubbed (speaking English) and uncut subbed(speaking Japanese) is an excelent addition to anyone's collection. These episodes continue where the last DVD left off, and conclude with a showdown against Kaorinite. If you're a fan of Sailor Moon, or are just looking for a good DVD, this is the one for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not messed up when uncut (PG-13)^.^
Review: The english version was okay, but the uncut versions are the BEST!!!! This is Labyrinth+Birthday blues and double moon action! In labyrinth are very violent episodes that got edited to death. Alot got cut out if you compiar the two together. In birthday blues, it was quite simalar to the original version, accept alot of more violence. In the one where Minako see's Jamie again Artimis didn't ask to go out with her. He said "felling left out" and he tossed her the roses. In birthday blues part 1, there was no 'Cinderella' talk involved. She just wanted the slippers beacause they looked classy. Also when Senishenta grabed her locket, she said "Moon Cozmic Power! Ma" then senishenta knocked her locket away. In the english version, She said "Moon Cozmic Power" and nothing happened. She was still moving her mouth when it was knocked out. Well, now pioneer is dubbing Sailor Moon insted of DiC so the episodes will be a little better in english verion. In the second part, Not much was cut out except for "Moon chain encircle". It was "Love-Me Moon chain". Then, They didn't show Kaorite's dead body, and the black star showed and she revived.The english version was okay (3/5 stars), but the uncut version ROCKED!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Some technical problems, but otherwise...
Review: The much-awaited next volume of the third Sailor Moon TV series DVD is here (I guess all of them are much-awaited!). This is a good set of episodes as far as storyline goes. Each one gives us some more insight into the main characters. And it ends with a cool showdown with the wicked Kaorinite! The technical problem is that the first three episodes of the six have the image cropped down excessively. Not too terrible, but enough to be distracting, as it throws the visual design off. Other than this problem, this DVD is highly recommended for fans of magical girl anime.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best episodes of the third season!
Review: This dvd has a really cool episodes! One of them is when Minako (Mina) dresses up as Sailor Moon in order to save her. Also, there are 2 episodes just about Rei and Minako, each telling their love stories. The first episode is about Ami and includes Sailor Neptune in a swimming suit with her hair tied back - very pretty. There is also an episode with Sailor Moon and Uranus - will they ever discover their true identities? The DVD has extras which includes Sailor Jupiter's gallery and info. Also you have an option of watching it in English or subtitled. The cover can be changed (it has two sides that can be switched) and the dvd itself has a very pretty picture of Mina. And dont forget - its 145min! That's 6 episodes!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ah, Sailormoon S DVD Volume 2... 6 episodes out of 200...
Review: This DVD is full of filler Sailormoon episodes... But with Sailormoon anime, that's what makes the series so interesting!

In this Volume the other Senshi besides Sailormoon get their day in the spotlight. For example; In the first episode Ami has second thoughts about being such a dedicated student, and ironically she is the next target for the Death Busters. In episode two Sailormoon and Uranus learn to tolerate each other when they are hooked together (not by choice). Episode three gives Rei her day when Yuichiro (Chad in the dub) thinks that she is seeing another man (who is actually Haruka). Minako is the title character of Episode four, when she considers dropping being a Senshi after thinking about all she is missing out in life. The last two episodes are parts one and two of a storyline involving Usagi, glass slippers, and her pure heart. Kaolinite and the Sailor Senshi have a final show down at the end of this disc!

Overall, the story doesn't really go anywhere until the final two episodes on this disc. But what is accomplished in the end is a big jump from where the story is in the beginning of the disc (even if it does happen in the last ten minutes).... But, if you're looking for more time focused on that favorite Sailor Senshi you may have, or if you want romance and hilarious comedy, this volume definitely dishes it out.

All in all, this is a good buy for any avid Sailormoon fan. Although I prefer the episodes contained on the next volume (volume three), because it has some of the most comedic Sailormoon episodes ever.
