Movie Reviews of Sailor Moon - Season One - Complete and Uncut (Japanese language edition)Movie Review: America will finially get to see season 1 in full splendor Summary: 5 Stars
Being a huge fan of Sailor Moon I of course would have a say about ADV producing the first season of Sailor Moon on DVD. The first and best thing about it is that American veiwers will get the chance to see the first season of Sailor Moon in it's original Japanese animated version. Those of you who have been hanging of the English TV version of Sailor Moon are in for a real treat when you see the original Japanese version. Every goot element about Sailor Moon will increase 10-fold. All the [bad] English voices will no longer plauge your ears...All of the sounds in the original are the crisp, splended sounds of the original. I was outraged when I first heard the English voices. They don't sound ANYTHING like they should be. Most of the senshi sound like 30-year-old women, and not 14-year-old teenagers like they should sound. Also the theme song won't make you sick to your stomach, with some crappy actors saying 'she is the one named Sailor Moon' over and over again. Once again, for those of you who have only watched Toonami or Kid's WB to get episodes of Sailor Moon, you will see the episodes that just couldn't quite make it on TV. I don't see why they didn't make it though. If they are dubbed just as bad as the rest of the English version is, then they should meet American TV critira. If I remember correctly, they didn't end show 6 of the episodes. So for all of you dubbies, you will see the missing episodes. Along with the Japanese version, the animation qaulity will also increase 10-fold. All of the rough, and ragged English version images will go 'bye-bye'. And instead they will be replaced with beautiful, flowing color images. A true treat for any anime fan, not just Sailor Moon fan. Along with better picture qaulity, all of the scenes that were cut from the show when they went on TV, you will finialy be able to see. The lines on all of the senshi when the transform will be present again, unlike the TV version. All in all, it may of been 11 years before the first season of Sailor Moon made it on DVD in Japanese, but it will be well worth it in the long run. One of the best anime series created will get the credit it has long deserved in America. All of the errors that DIC created, I can only pray that ADV didn't screw them up any more than they already were. So for any Sailor Moon fan, weither it be dub or sub, this is definetly for you. Heck, or for any bishoujo anime fan, you will immensley enjoy this. Following the wonderful tradition of anime, Ladies and Gentle Men, here is the first UN-cut season of Sailor Moon on DVD.
