NEWS: Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon R Liscensed by ADV

[Garylisk]

No Sailor Mars does not have a penis.
And no, I don't think there will be an uncut dub version. And thank god, what horrible voice acting! Sailor Moon is at the top of my list for bad dubs. I would rather scrape my eardrums out with strands of barbed wire than listen to those horrendous voices. Even dub enthusiasts usually agree that Sailor Moon's dub is the worst ever made, preiod, end of story. Even if you hate Japanese voices, and hate reading subtitles, you'll find yourself thanking the heavens again and again that you don't have to listen to the English voices!

Now, back to the penis thing.. Sailor Mars doesn't have a penis.. however, Sailor Uranus is a total butch-dyke! Just watch the uncut version of season 3 that Pioneer has already released. And yeah, you can watch the dub of that uncut if you really wanna hurt your braina nd watch as some of the best characters in all of anime are made to sound idiotic and stupid, as well as having their names changed... Uh oh, here comes a rant!!!

-Sailor Moon, Usagi had her named changed to Serena. I am guessing this is because her past life was Princess Serenity from the Moon Kingdom. Of course, that should have had no impact on what her parents named her, but hey, why ask questions when looking at what stupid, retarted, idiotic dubbers have done to this beautiful show.
-Sailor Mercury, Ami - It seems Americans can't handle that her name ends in an I, so they changed her name to Amy.
-Sailor Mars, Rei - Her name just had a spelling change, too. She's Raye in the dub.
-Sailor Jupiter, Makoto, has the most inexplicable name change of all. Somehow they decided that her name should be Lita... WHY THE F*CK IS HER NAME LITA????! WHO THE F*CK WOULD NAME THEIR KID LITA????! It's like "Yo, I'm finna go to the store and get me a lita of soda!" Jesus H f*cking christ on crutches!!
-Sailor Venus, Minako. This name was apparently much too long for American audiences, so they changed it to Mina. In the actual show, Artemis sometimes calls her Mina to be cute, but her name is Minako, not Mina god damn it!
-Sailor Chibi-Moon, Usagi, Nicknamed Chibiusa - Her name got changed to.. this is so classic.. RINI!!! WHAT THE F*CK KIND OF NAME IS THAT???! RINI!!?? HAHAHAHA!! To top it all off, they changed her Sailor Soldier name to "Sailor Mini-Moon"! What's funnier is that they did this AFTER Austin Powers 2 was out! They should have known better! I can see it now.. Sailor Moon looking down at Chibiusa, all like "I will call her.. Mini-Me!"
-Sailor Uranus, Haruka was changed to Amara. I just don't get it.
-Sailor Neptune, Michiru was changed to Michelle. This kinda makes sense I guess...
-Sailor Saturn, Hotaru... Her name was not changed! Why change the others, then??
-Sailor Pluto, Setsuna - I actually don't know what they changed her name to! I hate watching that damned dub!
-Tuxedo Kamen, or Tuxedo Mask, Mamoru - His name got changed to Darien. Why Darien of all names? Hey, here's a novel idea.. leave his name alone!

Here's some other inexplicable name changes!

Umino - Melvin
Naru - Molly
Motoki - Andrew
Jadite - Jedite
Kunzite - Malochite (???!)
Dark Kingdom - The Negaverse
Queen Metalia - The Negaverse
Black Moon - The Negaverse
Planet Nemesis - The Negaverse
MTV - The Negaverse (OK, just kidding...)
America - The Negaverse (Get the picture?)
Makaiju - DOOM TREE
Ail - Alan
Seijuro - Alan
Natsumi - Ann
Death Phantom - Doom Phantom

There's tons more, I won't list them all, it'd take too long!

To top it all off, this evil NEGAVERSE sending out its NEGA-ENERGY using NEGA-MONSTERS and NEGA-EVIL keeps attacking Earth, but uses different people, making the plot too hard to follow seeing as its been rewritten anyway.

And another thing! Any dub that uses the word "dweeb", "Nutzoid", or "mondo" too much is DOOMED TO BE BAD!!

And here's the best part.. I had the misfortune of watching an episode of the season 3 dub a while back.. and I had to turn it off in disgust, because I heard this line come out of Sailor Uranus' mouth:
"Man, that's whack!"

HOLY SH*T!! TURN IT OFF, NOW!!!!!!!

If this hasn't gotten through your dub-loving head yet (If you're a dub lover anyway) - Let me put it to your straight up in the same way I speak of almost any dub... "YOU ARE GETTING A SECOND-RATE EXPERIENCE!" Not only are you missing out on the actual voice acting, but the dialogue, story, names, plot elements, emotion, meaning, and point of ANYTHING could be changed and you'd might never know. This is ESPECIALLY true with Sailor Moon. GIVE UP THE DUB AND BE SAVED!

That is all.

Well now don't get mad at me for this.

I just want to be clear.

Are there going to be DVD's with the sub and the dub of Sailor Moon, and if so will it occur in all seasons and all movies (or only some and if only some which ones)?

I know the dubs aren't that good, but just for completion when I buy a DVD I like having both.

An answer would be most appreciated

I would have quoted everything, but that would take up way too much space. Anyways, have you ever posted anything like this before. I feel like I've read the exact same thing before.

Well, subbed versions, uncut. Sounds good. I didn't really mind the voice acting done by DIC, but the cuts were so awful. A lot less cuts in the Cloverway ones, but I absolutely hated the voice acting.

[Garylisk]

I felt the voice acting in both DiC and Cloverway versions were autrocious.

Also, note that this is an OLD thread from back in September.

Also, the release date has been pushed back, seeing as they are not out yet.

Also, these new seasons 1 and 2 box sets are going to be the Japanese version with subtitles only, no dub. Here's why...

You see, back when seasons 1 and 2 were dubbed by DiC, they made their cuts for TV before dubbing.... Seeing as they cut before dubbing, it would be impossibly to overlay the dub audio on top of the original version's video.. so, sad to say for those of you who want the dub, you'll have to buy the DiC DVD's that have been coming out (Also from ADV) seperately from the uncut version box sets.

As for the movies, season3, and season 4, Pioneer has been releasing these in an uncut format, subbed and dubbed, ever since they started airing season 3 on Cartoon Network. (Almost 2 years ago now, I guess...) So yeah, when you buy any Sailor Moon S or Sailor Moon SuperS on DVD, it will be uncut and bilingual. The same goes with all 3 movies, which now even come in a box set.

Season 5 is not yet being brought over to America, as a recent article on AnimeNation suggests. Toei, the original creator of Sailor Moon, and Cartoon Network officials, both feel that season 5 (Sailor Stars) is too violent, dark, and mature for the North American target audience.

Then again, season 1 was kind of dark, and ADV is releasing that. So yeah.... Somebody is bound to release season 5 sooner or later. Whether it'll be on Cartoon Network is up in the air though... Then again, if they put Tenchi and Outlaw Star on prime time TV, they can manage to put Sailor Stars on. (Despite the fact that she's nakes for the latter half of the last episode... eh *shrugs*)

And of course, by back in September, I mean back in July. *sigh*
Damn my brain!
