Not to waste peoples' time - it's region locked. Not sure what countries will get it, but I can't see any of it since it was announced.

You make it sound like that is a problem.

It’s all in Japanese with English subtitles and no dub

A suggestion to the editors: make this article marked for USA readers. The playlist doesn't seem to be available to anyone other than Americans. (FYI, it's not available to Canadians.)

Notes on Sailor Moon

Original series
-With the exception of episodes 47 & 69, the first two seasons uses the old Viz upscale while the rest of the show uses Toei's upscale that's in the Complete Season Blu-ray releases and on both SuperS & Sailor Stars part sets.

Crystal
-For whatever reason, the subtitles on Season III are based off Viz's dub since it matches the closed caption subs included on the discs (reminder that Viz's Sailor Moon discs had 3 sets of subs and up until SuperS where they became optional in the menus, these dubtitles were accessible through your TV remote and PC video player.

It's US-only, even Canada is blocked for some reason.

Region locked.
Hardsubbed.
YouTube Quality.

Thanks but no thanks VIZ. Thankfully I've seen those all years ago already.

Dubtitles?! That’s really weird.

The article REALLY should mention that this is only available in the US. As others have mentioned, the fact that it's not available in Canada is pretty inexplicable and noteworthy.

Because no "people" live in the United States, apparently.

VIZ is on a winning streak of making the dumbest choices ever.

I am shocked. I expect this kind of laziness from Netflix's subtitles, but Viz? Doing dubtitles in 2023? What the hell? They should really know better.

It's probably likely the case they added the wrong subs by mistake and they just need to be made aware that they added the wrong subs. This kind of thing happens all the time on streaming apps. And you can easily watch Sailor Moon Crystal on Netflfix, Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Tubi with actual subs and Tubi is free even as well. Just contact Viz's customer service and politely let them know about the subs.

And nobody lives outside of it? Neither the article or Viz's statement says anything about it being region locked and that seems pretty important.

Glord: Speaking of dumb Viz decisions, I wanna pre-order Fist 11 on Amazon, but it's only available on Kindle.

I just found out that Viz Media had licensed the Disney Twisted Wonderland manga published by Square Enix. There are listings all over Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I believe they forgot to announce this during their panel at New York Comic Con last year.
