Let me just start by saying this will be a rant, the first time I saw Sailor Moon I thought "oh goody! a new show!" I didn't know that it was a show from Japan. And I didn't know who Usagi Ami Rei Makoto and Minako was. I didn't know what a henshin was or echi or hentai. All I new was that damn crap DiC came out with. They changed the voice of *shudders* Serena more times then I buy news shoes! And poor Ami! Why did they have to give her Mercury Bubbles Blast?! Ooh! *shakes fist* But alas, they just had to go and make Minako and Usagi valley girls?
And naming poor Umino and Naru Melvin and Mollly? Okay I like the name Molly it's pretty but Melvin for Umino-chan? *ack!* And you know why they won't show Sailor Stars? I saw the whole season of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars one word: NUDITY. Yes the one word that those damn suits at DiC didn't want to here. Did you know that for the entire season Usagi (Serena) didn't have any body lines?
This show wasn't supposed- be shown to little kids, I mean what were they thinking? It was made for older and mature people not a bunch of little kids who should be out playing. Instead of sitting on their butts! Poor Rei-chan! Mars fireballs Charge was NOT part of her Sailor Mars duties! Only in her Shinto religion! And they just had to make everything americanized. Just watch the episode Time Bomb were they switched the bus so it looked like a North Amercian bus. And don't get me started on Sailor Moon Supers! Poor Haruka and Michiru making them cousins! disgust.gif
And why did they have to make Chibi-usa such a bitch? I mean sure she was a little prat in the original but she was not as annoying as Rini in the dub! I hate that pink haired brat! disgust.gif
Why oh why did they rename Setsuna Trista? And her attack is Deado Scream! (no serouisly they proucounce it Deado scream) Sailor Pluto's attack his supposed to be whispered NOT yelled! And it's not Pluto Deadly scream! *Cuda runs of sobbing* And my poor Saturn! Not getting enough airtime! *bawls* *handed a tissue* -thank you. And why oh why did they take out 'makeup' from the senshi's henshin? Jupiter Power! crying.gif IT'S JUPITER POWER MAKEUP! Ack! So we see some boobie lines and some butt lines in the original who gives a damn? I mean I don't give a damn. Personaly the only reason why I watch it is because there isn't else on at 2:30 in the afternoon. Don't get me started on Sailor Moon Super S I mean why did they change the gender of Zirconia? She was just a old cranky old sod. And they changed the genders of Zoicite Fish-eye and changed the relatioship of Haruka and Michiru because they are a bunch of homophobs at DiC! You know just to let you know, I don't want to be a part of this world if people are just gonna be a bunch of homopobes. So there is my rant. Gotta go 'cause my fav show is on see ya!

Happy Holidays! original.gif

I dont know why every anime i see that was translated in USA was dumbed down and censured. Censorship in scenes, idiotization of dialogues, changes of original namens to stupid names...everithing. Maybe is because in USA still exist the convetion that animation is for kids only.

yes the cultural aspect is definitely one reason, but also at the time there were predominately male programmes (most of which were of Japanese origin) and i guess Sailor Moon seemed like the ideal show to appeal to little girls...Also just think of the all the money to be made by mass merchandising the series with dolls, costumes, a computer game, videos, etc...

however, in the end I owe it to the Sci-fi channel's censored anime movies, such as Vampire Hunter D and Tenchi Muyo In Love, as well as other tv stations with Americanized series such as Sailor Moon and Ronin Warriors to create my love and passion for anime and manga today... wink2.gif
