DVD Review: Sailor Moon
Summary: 4 Stars

big fan of sailor moon and was pleased to get this set, there was some spots where it would jump or freeze, but I still had fun watching it

DVD Review: If you're going to bootleg, don't use Comic Sans MS
Summary: 3 Stars

There is no doubt in my mind that this is not an official product, having seen the originals almost a decade ago. However, if you love the series and want the Sailor Stars series, it is worth buying.

While the packaging looks authentic, the only thing that looks decent in real life is the actual box. Even then, the title of the box set is typed using Comic Sans MS, which is a dead giveaway that this is a bootleg. On top of that, when you pull the DVDs out of the box, the cases have the series labeled not only in Comic Sans MS, but they are placed in absolutely horrible positions and in colors that you can't read. Each DVD case doesn't even have the correct images from the series it's representing (I have the Starlights inside the case for the SuperS series!). Also, the pixel resolution on the cases can't be more than 100dpi on a smaller size. When blown up to the case size, there is some pixelation. Not only that, but the DVDs in the case that is for the movies in listed in the wrong order of their creation. An authentic product would NEVER be put together in this manner!

As far as the quality of the DVDs goes, it's very good. The overall picture could have been better, but it's not scratchy or distorted. It looks like it was recorded off an original product, but it is NOT high quality that one would expect.

If you're like me and you don't know Japanese and want to watch it subbed, there are phrases and quotes that are COMPLETELY LEFT OUT. There will be random spots where one character will say something and you won't have a subtitle for it, but then another character picks up and the titles come back. I haven't had a chance to fully watch all the movies and the SuperS series yet, but there is also a point in one episode in the Sailor Stars series where whoever is writing the titles starts adding in little random notes to see if you're paying attention. It's worth a good "LOL," but really unprofessional. Another thing that bugged me about the subtitles is that when I went to pop in the first SuperS disc, for some reason I'm not allowed to view the titles, but only hear Japanese or English voices. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I like my Anime in pure Japanese; I do not want to listen to the horrible name changes and English voice actors like I had to when it first aired on Cartoon Network. I will also say that when I put in the R movie and forwarded it to the end (I HAD to know if this version let me hear "Moon Revenge" as opposed to the horrible song they added to the English version / American subbed version they released back in the day - good news folks! It's in there!), I noticed that the subs gave you select lyrics, and while the characters were talking, it would either only keep the lyrics on the screen or not even change to what they were saying. If I had not seen this movie in bootleg form a decade ago, I would have had no clue what they were saying.

With that in mind, I've also had a few problems with the actual DVDs. On the third disc of Sailor Stars, the final three episodes start and stop and are almost completely unwatchable. This happens a few more times at the beginning of the fourth disc, too, but not nearly as bad. I also noticed it on the final disc of the SuperS series once or twice, too. Also, at the end of the R movie, I'm not allowed to watch the credits and am instantly brought back to the menu screen. This is all on my DVD player, and I have yet to see if I have the same effect on my Mac. Hopefully I will have better luck, because I missed out on a two and a half episodes where a long of important stuff happens.

The good thing about this product is that it stays true to the series. For anyone who has been frustrated by the Americanization of the series and the gender role reversal of certain characters, you will love the fact that the subtitles don't leave anything out. There are no cuts in the animation that I'm aware of. I will say that I do like the picture quality, despite the fact that it isn't amazing. It gives you the feel that you're back in the 1990s watching the series on your home TV set. Watching this has also made me sit back and say, "You know, they don't animate like this anymore." It really makes you appreciate 90's animation before EVERYTHING went digital.

I'll also throw in the fact that I found the Sailor Stars series completely satisfying on every level. Having only been able to see a recorded copy of the final four episodes (in Japanese, no subtitles, and oh look, Japanese commercials) about ten years ago, I found a new respect for the series overall. If you're getting this for the Sailor Stars series, it is worth the money, despite the physical kinks I had. It is enjoyable, and takes the series to a whole new level. It feels like the series is more mature compared to prior seasons, and maybe I'm just a little nerd at heart, but I really laughed at not only the animation, but the dialogue and subliminal messages.

If conclusion, if you haven't seen any of the seasons and the movies previously in other bootlegs and/or other translations, you will love this product. If you've seen it previously and debating on buying it, it's not a waste of money and you will be satisfied. But if you're willing to wait another decade for them to come out with an official product with high quality and amazing subtitles and extras, I'd say to wait and hopefully find something better.

DVD Review: WHAT??!
Summary: 4 Stars

I love sailor moon! I don't know why, but I still find this quirky show to be entertaining! Anyway. I didn't buy this here. I found it cheaper somewhere else... SHHHHH!! I can't tell you... lest the amazon gods smite us all!!! haha! Anyway, some of the subbing is missing in sailor stars... that kinda sucks but you can still follow what is happening. It's worth it.

DVD Review: It's sailor moon what else can i say?
Summary: 5 Stars

First of all i'm a big fan of sailor moon, I'm male btw.
I wasn't allowed to watch it as a kid, because i was told
it was a show for girls. But now that i'm older, I'm excited to have the chance to re-live those chances again. I have the freedom to watch them without anyone antagonizing me.
But anyways.. So on the details it states that the dvds are English/Japanese duo languaged. Can i just that that only "Some" of them are not all of them. Which was a bummer for me, because i don't really like to read subtitles because it just doesn't have the same magical effect.
Other than that it's amazing! It has details that the Censored version Sailor Moon does not have.
