Sailor Moon S Viz Dub
The S Season is arguably the best of the five seasons of Sailor Moon and
probably the darkesr with its themes of the Apocalypse and Sacrifice.
The Outer Guardians appear for the first time (except Pluto who briefly
appeared in R) and they steal the spotlight every time they're in
screen! It looks like ViZ media is going for a "rainbow" theme with
these chipboard boxsets. Season 1 was pink, season 2 orange and now we
have yellow for season 3. By the looks of it, SuperS will be green and
Stars blue. I like it! For those of you who preordered this Bluray/DVD
Combo pack on rightstuf.com you'll also get an exclusive Cosmic Heart
Compact coin! I think its cheaper there than Amazon. I preordered this
back in July the day it was announced at the official Sailor Moon panel
at Anime Expo and got a special screening of the English episodes "The
Rod of Love is Born! Usagi's New Transformation, A Beautiful Boy? The
Secret of Haruka Tenno" and "Bond of Destiny! The Distant Days of
Uranus!" As far as what I've seen, the new voice actresses for Uranus,
Neptune, Kaolinite (who did Usagi's mom and Temari from Naruto) sound
great!! Special mentions go to Keith Silverstein who plays Professor
Tomoe! He's one of my favorite voice actors and he's such a great guy
too! The veteran's Stephanie Sheh, Michelle Ruff and Robbie Daymond all
sound great and bring the characters to life too! I can't wait tk hear
Christie-Marie Cabanos when she does Hotaru's voice in the next half of
the series. Sob, that'll be such a long wait!! This uncut version will
do this series justice unlike the previous Pioneer releases. I mean, I
live that Pioneer used the original cover art and that they had English
Subtitles for the Japanese voices, BUT they completed omitted the first
and second opening songs and only used the third one throughout,
spoiling Hotaru Tomoe's appearance much earlier in the series as well as
hinting Super Sailor Moon is the messiah (she flies with butterflies
and purges the dark clouds making way for light to come through). They
also CUT the next episode previews. They were labeled "ORIGINAL UNCUT
VERSION" but making edits like this doesn't say "uncut" in my book. But
now with VIZ rereleasing the entire series, that shouldn't be a problem
anymore.
