Summary: The continuation of an excellent series
Review: INTRODUCTION:
Sailor Moon is an anime series that first aired in 1992. It was based on a manga series created by Nakao Takeuchi, best known for her Sailor V series at the time. In no time at all, the series had become wildly popular, and in the mid-nineties it was ported to America. Unfortunately, it was severely edited. Some entire episodes were missing and the dialogue was butchered. Fans cried out for uncut episodes. And finally, early in the new millennium, uncensored DVDs were released. The entire Super S series, the fourth of five series, is now available uncut on DVD! Read on for my review of this set.

BASIC PLOT:
This is the fourth of the five Sailor Moon series. By now the Death Busters have been defeated, and Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus have left town. Sailor Chibi Moon has also decided to remain in the present time period rather than go back to the future. Unfortunately, the peace period is short lived. A new series of villains has arrived on the scene following the occurence of an eclipse. These new villains hunt down humans for their dream mirrors, in hope that they will find the one that their master desires. And all the while, Chibiusa keeps getting visits from a mysterious Pegasus in her dreams. What's up with this? This saga of Sailor Moon rages on for about thirty episodes.

SERIES OPINIONS:
Overall, this is a good Sailor Moon saga, but when compared to the other sagas of the series, it's strictly average. The Dream Mirror thing is pretty much a rip-off of the Heart Crystal thing from the previous series, the S series. Likewise, Chibiusa is an annoying character - although she's not QUITE as bad as people make her out to be. If you're a fan of the series, check this saga out. I think you'll enjoy it.

THE DUB:
The dubbed version of the series is in many ways better than previous sagas that have been dubbed, and worse in many ways. It's better in that it uses the original background music and that more of the character names than ever before are close to their originals, but it's worse in that some scenes are horribly translated, and many of them have been Americanized, often with horrible slang. Here's a little tip - while you're watching the Japanese subtitled version of the DVD, hit the Audio button on your DVD remote and switch to the dub track. This way you can watch the English dub with the English subtitles for the Japanese version - there's no better way to see how bad some of the translations are!

DVD:

Once again, DVDs featuring an uncut dub and an uncut sub have been released. This is great because you get both versions of the series. Unfortunately, these DVDs are severely lacking in the extras department. Why couldn't they give us things like production art and interviews with cast and crew? Those would have been great extras!

OVERALL:
Overall this is an excellent DVD set, but I remain confident that I could also have been done much better. Still, if you're a Sailor Moon fan, this is a strongly recommended release.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hard to place
Review: It's so easy to kick the SuperS season around. For starters, it centers around Chibiusa, Usagi's future daughter, better known to those who hate her as "the Pink Spore." It also stars a winged unicorn named Pegasus (how he transformed from his original Greek version into an alicorn is beyond me) who spends most of the series popping up in Chibiusa's room after dark. Furthermore, the first set of villains, known as the Amazon Trio, use what is arguably the lamest method of "sneaking up" on their victims that you'll ever see. Finally, it's missing the Outer Senshi, which is blasphemy for the fans of the Haruka/Michiru (a.k.a. Uranus/Neptune) couple.

However, somewhere beneath that oh-so-sugary crust is a very good series which manages to be very entertaining in spite of itself. SuperS features some hilarious Usagi/Mamoru/Chibiusa interaction, taking the future King, Queen, and Princess into situations which make you wonder if they're going to be able to keep from killing each other before they even get started as a family. Also, as lame as their attacks may be, the Amazon Trio is a lot of fun to watch, especially when they're lounging around before picking their weekly victim. The "monster of the week" and "evil organization" concepts that run through the entire Sailor Moon series get new twists this time around, making for some very interesting mischief. The evil organization in the SuperS season is called the Dead Moon Circus, and as a result both the major villains and weekly monsters are based on twisted versions of bizarre circus characters. If you've always thought of clowns as being evil, just wait until you meet Mr. Magic Pierrot.

SuperS also features some of the best background music of the series, with the Dead Moon Circus themes being the highlight. If memory serves, Naoko Takeuchi (the author of the original manga) once said that the end credits theme used in the later episodes was her favorite music to date when the series aired. Your mileage may vary, but even if you don't like it, there are more than enough good musical moments elsewhere in the series to make up for it.

An important note: one member of the Amazon Trio (Fish Eye) was a big problem for the folks who dubbed this series into English. They didn't dare try to present a gay transvestite character to the afternoon Cartoon Network kiddie crowd, so they wound up making some serious changes to the script as a result. If you are the least bit homophobic, you won't like the first half of this series at all if you watch the original Japanese version. Still, if you're offended to this degree, the Haruka/Michiru lesbian pair from the S season probably chased you off before you even got this far. Haruka and Michiru are missing from SuperS, but the gender twists are back with a vengance. You can avoid dealing with this altogether by watching only the English dub, but the Japanese version is so superior in both acting and storyline that it merits watching even if you're not 100% comfortable with the ideas that it presents.

All in all, the SuperS series is classic Sailor Moon, even if it does spend too much time on the Pink Spore. It's still a major part of one of the best anime series ever created, and a must for anyone who wants to really experience the full scope of Japanese animation.

Summary: Sailor Moon
Review: Pretty much in 2001 is when this was on the air at Toonami and this was the time I watched it.I've noticed pretty much everyone gives it 5 stars,but I give it four.Later,(if the other episodes come out)I'd like those better.I like the Amazon Ouite more(a group of 4 girls with globes with a lot of power).This is the beginning where we first meet Pegasus(who needs help to defeat Queen Na Halelnea).Pegasus meets Renee(a spoiled self-centered brat who is Serana's cousin and came for the moon kingdom A.K.A Sailor Mini Moon).After we soon find out about Hawk Eye,Fish Eye,and Tiger EyePLUS Zerqunion.We soon find out about the mirrors in peoples hearts and to find the golden mirror that has Pegasus in it.Overall it's pretty good and I always laugh when I see Hawk Eye in a girly outfit.You should watch it on some channel(used to be cartoon network)before you buy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sailor Moon-SuperS
Review: Sailor Moon SuperS is a season that is mainly based on Rini(Chibi-usa), and that may be why many people don't like this season, and because the outers are missing, too. In my opinion, Sailor Moon SS is the best season and it is my overall favorite.
Although some things are repetitve, SS has very interesting concepts and well-thought out characters.
I like SS because I think Rini is a good character and essential to the show. After having the other seasons based on the other characters, SS is a refreshing new outlook from a different perspective.
This DVD is a good buy if you're a Sailor Moon collector, even if you don't prefer the season. This is a must-have, must-get Sailor Moon DVD. This is why I reccomend this DVD I suggest you get it before it's not available anymore.

Summary: Super Sailormoon, Pegasus, And The Lemures Amazon Trio!
Review: Sailormoon SuperS takes place after Sailormoon S[uper]. The Death Busters have been defeated, the Outer Senshi have taken Hotaru-chan to be cared of, and Usagi and the others are finally going to high school! But during a solar eclispe, a giant ship appears out of the sky and lands in Tokyo, the Dead Moon Circus. Usagi and Chibiusa is called upon by a mysterious Pegasus who needs help, but they don't know why. When the Amazon Trio - Fisheye, Hawkseye, and Tigerseye - attacked the people and steal their dreams, Usagi and Chibiusa must power up to Super Senshi and become Super Sailormoon and Super Sailor Chibimoon, using their new powers and weapons to defeat the monster Lemures, help the Pegasus, and protect the dreams of the people of Japan! They are also aided by Tuxedo Kamen-sama, Sailormercury, Sailormars, Sailorjupiter, and Sailorvenus, the Sailor Senshi of the Silver Millenium! Created by anime genius Ms. Naoko Takeuchi, Sailor Moon SuperS is one of the best acclaimed seasons of Sailor Moon ever aired on television.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sailor Moon is great
Review: Stop these stupid debates on Dubbed or Subbed and just enjoy the show according to your preference. These Debates are getting real old. If you were this serious about your causes on election day rather than something trivial as anime is to real-life issues I'd have more respect for your opinions.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sailor Moon Super S
Review: Super S is the latest chapter of the Sailor Moon anime to reach American shores, and it's most definitely worth watching. Ikuko Ito, the chief animator for Sailor Moon S, returns with vibrant and beautiful work as always. The disc is a little skimpy on extras, but hopefully that will change with future releases. It also includes footage never seen on the Cartoon Network's broadcast, and contain six episodes total. A word of advice, however...stay away from the dubbed audio track, and listen to the episodes in the original Japanese dialogue. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Start is Always good
Review: SuperS is a good series in the beginning and at the end. This DVD should be pretty Good and is highly recommended. However, the middle of the series is very slow and does not have much character development until the third arc of the series. HOWEVER, this DVD is really good.

Rini, meets her new love interest in the Pegasus and Sailor Moon gets her new attack which is always great see. The Dead Moon circus causes a ruckus and everything goes crazy. Its lots of fun to see!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sailor Moon SuperS: Pegasus Collection I (Vol. 1&2)
Review: SuperS is considered to be one of the worst Sailor Moon seasons because of its plot. But overall it still is a good DVD. The animation is the best in the series, the music is wonderful, and you can get probably the most laughs out of this series.

The package design is completely outstanding! It has a reversible cover of Sailor Chibi Moon.

The interactive menus are really neat. The main menu has the picture of Super Sailor Moon that is on the cover, except that she actually blinks and her hair moves with the wind, plus there is some little scenes from the show in the background.

Overall this DVD is great! Pioneer seems to do better with each new DVD. This DVD is a must get!
