For all the moonies out there, which version of Sailor Moon do you prefer more and why? I like PGSM the best! It sticks closer to the original manga while adding in lots of creative new plot elements and characters, it's not as repeatitive or predictable as the anime, the character development is more realistic, and I think Usagi x Mamoru is better in PGSM than in the anime. And while I do like the manga, I feel like it focuses almost too much on Usagi and not enough on the other characters, but PGSM gives everyone equal screening time. The only real thing I don't like about PGSM is episode 49. Somethings about it were kind of disappointing and I thought that episode was too confuzzling, but otherwise I like everything else about PGSM. I even like Sailor Luna! So, which version of Sailor Moon do you like the most?

I've only seen the first ten episodes. The stupid Up On The Roof programme cancelled it.

Well, I guess I'm forced to choose the dubbed option by default. It IS the only one I've seen any amount of.

I stay with my subbed version, though I really loved the job the mexican actors made for the spanish version!! *0*
I'm growing fond with Sera Myu too, but I've never seen it so...

which is the version when three guys transformed into three girls ?

Cardcaptor Takato · « **Reply #6 on:** April 19 2005, 11:16 pm »

That was from the fifth season of the Sailor Moon anime, Sailor Stars, which never was and never will be released in the U.S.

Because as I said in the Digimon thread, Japan and America's cultures are different from eah other, and in Japan Sailor Moon is considered to be for children (http://www.tcp.com/~doi/smoon/). Toei wants Sailor Moon to maintain its kid-friendly audience internationally yet at the same time they don't want Sailor Stars to be heavily edited to death (can you really blame them?), which is what it would have to go through before it can be aired on children's American television. So, unless America's over-protective culture changes drastically within the next year or so or Toei decides to change it mind (both which are highly unlikely), Sailor Stars has a snowball's chance in Hades of ever coming to the U.S. Personally, I'm glad that it's not coming to the U.S. if it keeps it from being edited to death. I dread the thought of seeing how they would try to censor episode 200. Besides, it's not like fansubs are hard to find over the Internet. All you need is a high speed Internet connection (thank goodness for cable Internet) and Sailor Stars is already practically yours, since if you can find any anime with a file sharing program, chances are you'll find Sailor Stars fansubs with it, too. And if you don't have a high-speed Internet connection or can't download for whatever reason, you can always order the fansub DVDs from VKLL.

so in short, your saying it can't be in the US cos they think boys turning into girls is unsuitable. aw, it is a shame tho.

but a question, know any sites that can download them ? (yes i have high speed broadband)

If you can use the file sharing program Bittorrent, you can download Sailor Stars fansubs in .AVI format from Animesuki.com. That's the best place to get them from because those files are in very good quality.

awesome ^^ thanks, i'll have a look around there for other animes too

Kasumi · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21 2005, 11:12 am »

Ok, I got lost! *blink, blink*

I dunno why they did not air it in Us... we had it translated in Spanish ^^ and its not like we're more liberal than you or something!!! (its actually the other way around xD)

Sailor Stars is my FAVORITE season of all Sailor Moon... once you see that one.. oh, it changes your life! xD

BTW... can anyone fill me with info about PGSM?

I just love PGSM! It my main fav because I feel that it is more emotional and fits Naoko Takeuchi's original concept better than the manga. If you like PGSM, then you might like my site. I have a lot of music videos dedicated to the series. Anyway, I chose PGSM.

Hori · « **Reply #17 on:** July 17 2005, 05:05 am »

I really cant decide .. but not the stupid dubbed version ... that is rubbish ...

Sailor moon was the programme that introduced me to the world of Anime and Manga .. I love it to pieces ...

The other day .. I was browsing in my community library for a book .. And I found

4 Sailor moon Manga books ...

I was over the moon ! ... I wanted to buy them ... But they put the stupid library stamp in them ... But I can get them for 10p ! woooooooooo...

fisah · « **Reply #18 on:** July 17 2005, 06:16 am »

I like PGSM and Sailormoon anime as well as the manga XD So cute XD

I do agree though, in terms of sticking to the plot, PGSM owns, however, I liked the anime too, maybe because it was more humourous too me XD

Xiao_Lang · « **Reply #19 on:** July 19 2005, 01:57 am »

The anime sub! ^__^
I don't like the dub as much, and the manga is great but its not as cutsie as the anime.
I LOVE PGSM but sometimes it can be a little too cheesy!
Sera myu is cool also, but They are dressed in too sparkling suits! lol!

so the subbed anime is my fav version of sailormoon!
