Customer Rating: Summary: Simply one of the best ever! Comment: Many Sailor Moon fans tend to agree that 'Sailor Moon S' is one of the best and the finest among the five entertaining Sailor Moon television series.
This may be because of the engaging comedy, as well as the sometimes clever twists and turns of the serious drama within the story arc. There are also the continued fine tuning of the characters as they must face new conflicts with the arrival of the two rebellious outer sailor soldiers: Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus (Michiru and Haruka). Also intermixed in this series is the charming and dramatic story of friendship between the two little girls Chibiusa (Chibi-moon) and Hotaru Tomoe (Sailor Saturn), and their inner conflicts as they and the other sailor soldiers must face their powerful new nemesis, the Death Busters (Professor Tomoe, Kaolinite, Eudial, Mistress 9, and others).
All this material is weaved almost effortlessly into a sweeping and engaging dramatic series: the spectacular battles against the Diamohn forces outside Mugen Academy, and the final confrontation between Sailor Moon, Mistress 9, and Pharoah 90 are some of the most dark, dynamic, and dramatic scenes of action and intense drama ever in the Sailor Moon film series.
Overall, the comedy, drama, and excitement of this series is just another example of the art of storytelling and cinema that was understood by its filmmakers that, unknown to them at the time it was successfully produced in Japan, also had wide universal appeal that would easily carry the show overseas to engage viewers around the world.
The Sailor Moon S series is simply one of the best examples of why anime caught on with viewers and other filmmakers around the world. It is successfully and engagingly strong on human drama, comedy, action, and adventure.
Sailor Moon S series is a classic and a collective masterpiece.
Customer Rating: Summary: Little different then expected but delivered what was promised Comment: The item didn't really look like the photo used and while this wasn't a big deal, the item did arrive a day late or so. Its a little different then I expected with its features and appearance but it still delivered what was promised so I am happy I was able to purchase this. Customer Rating: Summary: Too Many DVD Versions = Confusion! Comment: I was looking to buy my 9-yr-old daughter the complete Sailor Moon series, starting with the very first "origin" episode of Sailor Moon. Turns out that when I bought this DVD from another Amazon seller that it was for the third series...and in Japanese too with annoying subtitles! Arrgghh!! There seems to be so many versions of this series on DVD that I think I'm giving up on Sailor Moon. Too confusing to me which DVD I'm looking for. Pity too - I think my daughter really would've liked this show... Customer Rating: Summary: She is the one, Sailor Moon! Comment: I love sailor moon. She is a great role model for young girls and I hated the fact that they stopped airing it on Cartoon Network. Customer Rating: Summary: well... it's pricey but.... Comment: it's honestly worth it. having the Japanese and english subtitles is the only way to go... you'll be surprised by how different it can become (esp. with the Haruka and Michiru storyline). If you're on the fence because of the price, buy it. it's worth it, and having the whole series in one neat little box is more space saving and better looking than having them separate. beware of anyone selling this for two hundred or less though, this is a DVD set that is no longer made, and you'll be hard pressed to find the entire series uncut, and in Japanese (so it retain the right plot lines) anywhere else.
and watching the english dub with the english subtitles (which were meant to be played along to Japanese track) is really funny!
