I replird to this question in said previous thread, but here's a copy/paste of the answer.
I felt the voice acting in both DiC and Cloverway versions were autrocious.
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*)
