Sailor Moon

[PsychoKadabra]

There has to be someone here who has read the manga or seen the show!!!! I am hoping not to be alone in being a hard-core Sailor Moon fan...

 

[Chelc]

I love Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon! I have the first two seasons (original/un-cut) boxed-sets. I'm working on getting the third and fourth season, and ordering the fifth season from somewhere if possible. e_e So...you aren't alone. XD

 

[Desert_Rose]

Sailor Moon was like my favoirte TV show on Cartoon Network a few years ago when it was showing. Still love it. I sort of wish they'd bring it back....
Edit: My favorite is Sailor Neptune!! I realy like Sailor Saturn, too.^_^

 

[PsychoKadabra]

Yeah, there was a series of the manga that never made it on American TV. Sailor Moon Stars, I think it was called.

 

[Temari]

I really wanted to see the Sailor Moon Stars series... But I'm borrowing the Japanese one from my friend. So yay.

 

[ZOMBIE!]

Yeah, its called Sailor Stars.
I think it wasnt dubbed or w/e cause...
Dont the stars turn into girls when they transform?..
They're guys and then they turn into girls.
hehe =P

Well I love Sailor Moon.
I just think its great.
And I think if it wasnt around..
Then neither would MewMew Power.

I love Sailor Moon! Mt character is Sailor Venus!

Technically, the sailor starlights are GIRLS who disguise themself as guys to find thier princess. They actually change their gender for their disguise ( and turn normal DURING the transformation scene).

The starlights don´t change their gender for real in the manga, they just dress up like men, it was made up by the anime.

Stars wasn't dubbed because Toei Animation yoinked the license from everyone around the world so no one from Japan could import the anime series. >_> They were terribly desperate to get people to watch the live action show on DVD after it received horrible ratings on TV.

The people at Geneon and ADV were righteously PO'd. If I remember correctly, ADV was forced to pull down a post on their site by Toei in regards to who to blame for there no longer being any Sailor Moon in the US and not allowing them to release the final series. No one was even allowed to release a sub-only DVD.

Oh my! Yey! Sailor Moon! ... I remember this show, but they stopped airing (is that a word? o.o) it when I was like 8. ;__;

 

[FlamingRuby]

Another sailor fan present! My favorite's Jupiter!

Cartoon Network was so full of crap, it wasn't funny. They said Sailor Moon was taking a break for the summer and would return later on.

What happened? They replaced it with Hamtaro and never aired it again, that's what. x_X

 

[Luxuria]

Lol I loved the show. When I was like 7 they stopped airing it on YTV.
I have a few episodes on VHS.
I like Chibi Moon and Luna and Artemis the cats.
and Diana.=3

 

[Heliotrope]

I love Sailor Moon. I've got all five seasons and the movies on DVD (the subtitled versions - don't even get me started on how much I dislike the dubbed versions).

I think my favourite seasons were 1, 3 & 5.

Kunzite and Zoisite are one of my favourite Yaoi couples. ^_^

Sailor Moon was among the first anime I got into. For that matter, the Sailor Moon Uncensored forums was one of the first message boards I've been too (been a while since I visited that place, actually). I owe a lot to this series, since aside from being among my first anime experiences, it also caused me to stop taking things for granted in terms of audio. When Cloverway started dubbing S, I really noticed the transition between Dic's music and the original music, and that's what caused me to start gaining appreciation for anime soundtracks (now one of my favorite things about anime), and to this day, I still consider the BGMs in S to be among my most memorable. The change also made me notice the greatness that is background silence.

So, what happened after Toei tried to erase the anime series from existance in order to get the live-action series to sell? Did those DVDs do nothing but flop in the end? Speaking of Toei being irrational, why did they keep that episode of R from being released on the sub DVDs? I've heard some people argue that it's a filler, supposedly a very lame one at that, and shouldn't even be delved on. But if Pokemon's taught me anything, it's that banned episodes just seem all the more worth seeing (besides, it involves a plesiosaurus ^^).

 

[Chris]

After that, I've got nothing. All I know is that they went on to advertising Sailor Moon merchandise and it was all either based on the manga or the live action show. Couldn't find anything anime related.

As for Sailor Moon R, my guess is as good as yours. I'm stumped on that. :\

 

[PsychoKadabra]

The Live action show...That was messed up. They completely botched the storyline, and had this ridiculous "Sailor Luna". The actor playing her was supposed to be Chibi Moon, but theye never went through with the other seasons. Sailor Luna just sort of stood there and looked cute. She didn't do much. And they killed off Venus! (how dare they...)

It wasn't Cartoon. It was a local Mexican channel, who changes the animès like shoes. =/ But, that's not the topic... @_@. Actaully they didn't even tell that Sailor Moon was going to take a break. =/

Oh, that reminds me.... the manga was being rereleased with the title "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon", the same as the live-action series, wasn't it?

 

[Beaniebabie]

OH YEAH!!!!! I used to watch sailor moon when i was little and i still love it! NO ONE is alone on this one guys!
