REVIEW: Sailor Moon GN 1

In ADV's defense (and i can't believe i'm doing this because their sets were awful), had they made a new dub for it at that time then we wouldn't have it completely released here because of Toei pulling the anime licenses from everyone. Heck, the R set was released not long before it happened so we were lucky that it even got released here at all and that ADV fixed the music glitch that was present on one of the episodes.

As long as we're defending ADV's sets, in their defense the sets were awful because the masters they were given were awful. Those sets are the one time that I'd say a professional set just looked like a glorified fansub.

Wouldn't mind getting a GOOD replacement set, much like how I bought the rereleases of Utena despite owning the original CPM sets.

I wouldn't mind getting it myself with the R2-remastered video & audio & with everything properly in place or with anything missing as extras.

One BIG "extra" for me missing, was episode 67... I know I heard rumors that even Takeuchi didn't like it, but to me a missing episode is a BIG DEAL! I have a fansub of it currently and would like the replace it... I believe it's from the remastered DVDs, so if that's the case, Japan left it in :/

I would buy again, especially for that episode!!

Ah yes, the dinosaur episode. I actually forgot about that but then again that wasn't really ADV's fault either so it doesn't really count even if it was a pretty big deal. As for the rumor of Takeuchi not liking it, i always thought it was made up by someone who knew about the Mobile Suit Gundam situation where episode 15 was missing from Bandai's original releases (and also on the new set) so i guess we would have to wait for an R re-release to see if that's true since i don't think it was ever confirmed.

Yeah I never heard a proper confirmation on it, thus why I just thought it was some random rumor. What's the reason behind the Gundam episode taken out though? I haven't heard of that one.

It could be the same for the missing SM ep, shame at bad quality?

Methinks Zac missed the point.
The point: spoiler[All funi has to do is a total craptastic shipshod "remaster" slap "remastered" (or well, something close) on the cover, and it'll sell like hotcakes. Not unlike a certain other well loved Toei title.]

On the con side, the too-literal translation gives me great pause. It really irks me. I might wait and see how the others turn out before I continue buying the series again.

Oh, sorry. I'm not a giant douchebag about Dragonball so the "joke" missed me.
