I couldn't put into words how ecstatic I was when they announced Sailor Moon was getting re-released on Blu-ray with an all new unedited English dub. I'd been praying for that to happen for the past five years.
I purchased the limited edition version from Rightstuf and was pleasantly surprised to see that it arrived today, November 3rd, when it's supposed to be released the 11th! The price here on Amazon is kind of high, but don't let that scare you away. Trust me, it's worth it.
Honestly, I can't say anything bad about this first release. The quality is superb. I've been a big fan of the DIC dub since I was seven years old, back when Sailor Moon aired on Cartoon Network. And I've gotta say, this new dub is amazing! Usagi sounds like Usagi this time around, and Ami's voice is the cutest thing ever! (As a big fan of Barbie movies, I was so happy Katie Higgins got her role!). I love all of the new voice actors and I think they're doing an amazing job. I can't wait for the second half of the season, and I'm really looking forward to the others, especially Stars.
I'd always watched the original Japanese version, but it's such a relief to be able to enjoy the show in my native language without all the censorship and name changes. My younger siblings are happy too, as they're big SM fans and dislike subtitles.
Overall, I recommend this to any Sailor Moon fan, and even to those who haven't seen the show, but have always been curious about it. Sailor Moon is a classic anime, and if you've known it all your life like I have, you'll love it even more.
