Summary: Wonderful! Finally We'll be able to see the true Sailor.
Review: This tape is great! You might be thinking...so what it's Japanese it's the same as the English, you are very wrong! For one thing the script is diffrent(and alot better.) There's much more humor. And in my opinion there is much more voilence and Tuexedo Mask is cooler! Also, it really is much closer to the comic book by Naoko Takeuchi! Also,the picture,sound and everything else is great on the DVD!

Summary: A must have for Sailor Moon fans
Review: This DVD set is a must have for Sailor Moon fans. If you have only seen the first season in English then I recommend that you check out the uncut Japanese version because it is so much better. Ever since I found out that the first season would be released on DVD with the original Japanese language I was excited but two things stopped me from purchasing it right away. One thing was the price which is high (although now that I have it I can say it is totally worth it). The other thing that prevented me from buying it right away was the reviews that said the audio and picture were bad. It is true that the audio and picture show the age of the cartoon (which is 11 years) but I believe it is still worth having. Also, there are no special features and the box art is not very impressive. It is because of the audio, picture and lack of special features that I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I feel I should point out that the picture is clearer and less faded than my fansubs on VHS for those of you who might have wondered after reading the reviews. Over all I think that this DVD set is worth having for any Sailor Moon fan despite the flaws mentioned above. For those of you who would like to remove the subtitles you can do so by using the subtitle button on your DVD remote (or the button on the controller if you are playing it on a computer).

Summary: Sailor Moon, A Great Anime!
Review: Hi! I love the Sailor Moon anime and I was so happy when it came on DVD. The box is hard-foiled and Sailor Moon is on the front and lookes kind of cool. Inside the box are two cases which hold four DVDs each. Sometimes its kind of hard to get the DVDs out and it seems like you going to brake them but you wont. Then I sat down watched it from the very first episode.

First I thought it might be hard to watch something with subtitles, but you will get used to it after a while. Of course the music is different, but the opening theme almost has the same beat as the english version. The sound quality is not that good and picture seems to shake at the opening theme but you will get used to it and its not a big deal at all.

Their names, attacks, and transformation lines are different, for example: In the US there is Serena; if you have ever watched the US Sailormoon, but in Japan her name is not Serena but Usagi. Also Serena's attack in the US is "Moon Tiara Magic!" But in Japan she is called Usagi ans she says, "Moon Tiara Action!" Then its the transformation, in the US she says "Moon Prism Power!" But in Japan she says "Moon Prism Power, Make-Up!" Adding "Make-Up," at the end of "Power."
Note: Their attacks and transformation lines are in English, but mostly everything else is in Japanese.

When you watch it you might learn some Japanese words like "Hai"
which means "Yes" in Japan.

I hope my review was helpful and don't forget about Sailor Moon: Season Two, I'm definitely going to buy it.

Summary: MUST BUY FOR SAILOR MOON FANS
Review: having watched a few episodes of the censored version, i was disgusted with the american version of Sailor Moon but the good folks at ADV were kind enough to bring the ORIGINAL UNCUT japanese version of Sailor Moon.

it only has the japanese language with optional english
subtitles.
rated : 15 +

Genre : comedy, with romance

Dont be fooled by people that say this anime is for girls, it has a great story and easily one of the best animes ever, i wont write about the series cause many people have already done that ill only write my concerns.

My only concern with this series seems to be in the Audio department, it looks like the original was made but the sound never was that important so the audio got recorded in a monaural way (sounds that way) when you see the series youll have to turn up the volume a bit in order to liston properly. but hey its the original series so no matter.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but Sound Quality heavily lacking..
Review: Its great to finally see Sailor Moon as it was meant to be seen, not the ... DiC edited version. My only complaint is the very poor sound quality. Especially in the Opening and closing themes. It sounds like its over a telephone but a little better than that. Its very hard to hear and alittle grainy sounding. Other than that the DVDs are great, I just wish they would have spent a little more time fixing the sound.. its a bit overpriced ... as well, but the set is def. worth it once you get past the poor sound.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Awful release of a great season!
Review: I'll get straight to the point. If you have fansubs of this season - DO NOT purchase this set. The quality is 1000X better.

ADV strikes again, first botching the sound on the Farscape: Season 1 boxed set, now completely screwing up the audio on the Sailor Moon Season 1 set. And I'm not talking about minor audio problems - the entire audio track is garbled, muffled, and sounds absolutely dreadful. And I'm not even a nitpicky person here, I don't usually go overboard demanding amazing quality, it depends on the thing being released. But it's just BAD. So much so I'd return it if you could return opened DVDs.

ADV obtained low quality master videos from Toei, but instead of demanding the higher quality ones used for DVD releases in Region 2, they kept em, didn't try to improve them, and still charged an arm and a leg for the season. It's way below the quality of Pioneer's releases of Sailor Moon S and Sailor Moon SuperS.

Furthermore, ADV has not included the next episode previews, and they've put the opening preview after the opening titles (when they should be first!).

What an awful presentation of a great season of one of the best anime series ever made!

So, be warned.

Summary: Sailor Moon Series one
Review: Over all this box set was good. Most of the translations of dialog were prety close to the original script. The added/deleted scenes made a lot more sense left in each episode than in DIC's verrsion.
The only bad thing I could tell was the Japanese dialog sounded like it was recorded in mono, instead of stereo. I could barely make it out.
Otherwise, Most hard-cor fans like myself should be delighted in the "PURER" version of Sailor Moon, series 1

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: for the moonie who thought they had it all
Review: This was a fabulous set that contains every single episode that became changed and dubbed when brought to the US. The unedited Japanese follows more closely with the manga - sure to thrill any true Moonie. There are episodes never released in the US before that are fabulous. As with all subtitled movies it can be frustrating when a few lines are skipped but it is well worth the price. This set helps put Sailor Moon back where it belongs - with the teens and up instead of the Dic version dumbed down for 7 year olds. You won't be disapointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The REAL Sailor Moon on DVD
Review: I think it's awesome that Sailor Moon season one is on DVD in its true form. The American version was sometimes cheesy and you could tell things were missing. I'm hoping to get the DVD set for my birthday in late October. I've been a Sailor Moon fan for years.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So Many Wonderful Memories
Review: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon brings back so many memories. When I was very young and Sailor Moon first came out, I found it by fate by flipping the channels. Back then no one else watched it and it was on at 6:00 in the morning. Many years later I reunited with it and then I rodered the Japanese episodes fansubbed. The Japanese episodes were amazing. Back then their was no official distributer, so I ordered from a fansubbed distributer. The Japanese version was so different form the American version. It was completely different. I love both versions though. The English version brings back memories from my childhood while the Japanese version is uncut. It's fun comparing the episodes and seeing how much was changed. Now they finally offcially release the Japanese versions. Back then I had to get it unofficially, but now the series is finally released in uncut, original format. I love going down memory lane. When I was a kid I'd watch Sailor Moon, and I still watch Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, but now I watch the Japanese version more often, but the old English version always brings back memories of my childhood. The Japanese version is amazing. It has breathtaking moments. This product is the first season uncut. It is the first of the five seasons that make up the greatest anime series ever. Well, it means a lot to me because it reminds me of my childhood. These episodes are touching and you must by them. If you want to go down memory lane with a twist-buy this. I have the episodes in both the Japanese and English vversions, fansubs, subs, dubs, you name it. I love them all. Trust me, uncut and fansubbed are completely different, so you'll want both. I remember I watched this show when I was a kid when it first came out. I watched it ebfore it became popular. Little did I know back then how popular my childhood show would become. Tuxedo Kamen is so wonderful and charming. He was my hero when I was a young girl, and he's still me hero now. He will always be the most charming anime man. I love Tuxedo Kamen/Mask. He is so wonderful, and hot. This brings back memories from my childhood and the Japanese version is fantastic, I own a lot of fansubs, but now you can get the full season officially out uncut. Once again, I have fond memories of my childhood which will last forever. I loved this show as a child and I still love it now.
