Editorial Reviews:
|
Based on a manga by Naoko Takeuchi, Sailor Moon is the story of a teenage girl who meets a magical cat who gives her super powers. She becomes the leader of a team of brave girls, known as the Sailor Warriors. Sailor Moon has long been justifiably renowned for the strength of its plot, its direct and honest treatment of romance and, in this uncut version, a realistic and unflinching acceptance of death as a necessary possible consequence of a righteous fight.

Summary: ADV Ripped people off
Comment: I download dual language from a spanish site and noticed the japanese audio was in stereo I think ADV does not know how to make DVDs I'm glad I purchased these for around 40 and not the ridiculis prices they are going for now.

Summary: THE REAL BISHOUJO SENSHI SAILOR MOON
Comment: When I had seen this at Bestbuy. I had to get it. It was worth 149 dollars. The audio was excellent. The picture quality was clear. And BEST of all. You had gotten to see the REAL BATTLE between the DD Girls and the Inner Senshi. I loved the battle between Sailor Moon and Queen Beryl. And there were so many good/decent scenes/episodes DIC had destroyed. This is a MUST for any TRUE SAILOR MOON FAN.

Summary: A warning about audio quality
Comment: This is meant to be a quick review. This product uses the original Japanese audio for the episodes, and it is quite poor. This is not the NA production company's fault. Basically, the audio sounds like it was ripped from a VHS tape, and honestly I don't know why the original series had such poor audio. The show came out in the early 90's and I have seen clips of the show on Japanese sites and the poor audio is there as well. Other than that, I have no qualms with this collection.

Summary: Sailor Moon in original form= GREATNESS
Comment: I barely remember much from when I watched the English dub version of Sailor Moon as a kid, and perhaps that is a blessing! From the little clips I caught of the English version it is absolutely HORRIBLE!
So when I got into a Sailor Moon mood I turned to the Japanese version, subbed. This anime has so many great moments in it, it'll make you laugh and, possibly, cry at times. I became so addicted to this classic anime that I just had to own the DVDs! I ordered this season first and watched all the episodes in a few days and was left wanting more.
This boxset is great! It has eight DVDs in it containing all of the first 46 episodes, uncut! Some people have complained about the quality of the sound and the fact that it is in mono, but it doesn't bother me. There is a reason for the volume button. ;) There is no English audio, just Japanese with English subtitles.
For those that are not aware, this boxset is the ONLY official Region 1 release. It has eight discs and is made by ADV. So anyone selling the first season with four discs is selling a bootleg. Since Sailor Moon DVDS are no longer made, the originals go for a high price, some times over 200 dollars! The bootleg versions are usually priced a little lower, so watch out for what you buy if you are planning on getting this or any other SM sets!

Summary: POOR QUALITY, even when I got the pictured item
Comment: I own the pictured item (Sailor Moon Season One in the dark blue/purplish case with the silver silhoutte) and I just want to say that the audio quality is pretty poor. Do not confuse this with the fact that it's because it's in Japanese. (Which I prefer.) The opening title has a clean, crisp sound to it. But the dialogue in the episodes varies and sounds muddy. (Stupidly, I thought that turning the volume up would increase its clarity. Nope.) I dare say, it'd almost be more enjoyable to listen to it in English!
As for the video track... I have better video quality on my VHS tapes I recorded off the TV!
