Hey, guys! Yeah, you! English-speaking fans of everything Sailor Moon! Aren't you guys as SICK as I am of getting the SHAFT?!? I mean, seriously. When have we english speakers gotten ANY form of Sailor Moon eiether A) Easily, or B) True to their original Japanese forms? I'M SO TIRED OF IT!!! - The character names in the manga were changed (thank GOD they kept the 3 lights and the outers though...). And I've also heard that some things were changed...like jokes and stuff. I don't know...PLUS some volumes are no longer in print!
- Don't even get me STARTED about the anime. You all know the problems we've had/are having with THAT...
- PGSM lovers can only download acts from various websites...there have been next to NO efforts to bring that to English-speaking nations.
- There also have been next to no efforts to bring Sera Myu tapes/CDs/shows overseas eiether!!
- Oh, and I don't believe "Codename: Sailor V" was ever translated into English, eiether.
Are any of you guys as sick of all the insanity of it as I am? Don't you think we English-speakers have paid our dues ENOUGH? Don't you think it's time for us to finally enjoy our hobby in full? |

Yes!!! I hate it! It drives me insane...I am so glad that in the English reprint they didn't change the Starlight's names to something like "Yasmine," "Sarah," and "Tiffany"...I would have shot myself! The dub....dear god, what a poor representation of mankind as we know it. It sounds like they've all been inhaling helium! I think the reason PSGM isn't going to come to the US is because they probably think it wouldn't do well on the market. Big evil Corporate America and their money making schemes...  And Sailor V...I think that could have been a cult hit! That would definitely done moderately well! Now I'm all angry...^^; |

Yes! Practically all I know about the original BSSM I've learned on fan sites (though i did buy the first season subtitled on DVD. At least they have those!)
BSSM just doesn't have a good reputation! Whenever it's mentioned, people assume you're talking about the dub and think you're crazy. I'm sick of the fact that they don't know what it's really like.
Also, I don't think that there are enough BSSM fans out there right now for anyone to consider bringing more merchandise over seas. I would love to read Codename: Sailor V or anything else written by Takeuchi-sensei, but I only speak English!

I totally agree! My mom doesn't approve of my liking BSSM after all these years because she says it's childish. That's because she's only seen the english dub, which TOTALLY DUMBED DOWN the anime. And she hasn't seen anything else eiether, like the manga... |

I DEFINITELY wish more stuff was brought over. I hate all those people who are "purists" or whatever, who only believe the Japanese original should exist. But those people fail to realize that the only reason THEY got into Sailor Moon was because of the popularity of the English dub. I know that's why *I* got into it in the first place. Sure, I don't like the way it's been so dumbed-down and made into a child's show, but let's face it: It wouldn't have made it as a show for teenage girls in America.
I DO think that the manga was done reasonably well in English, though. I also think that Sailor V would have done GREAT, but I don't really see that coming over. OR PGSM. I have to say, though, that I'm kind of happy that PGSM won't be made into an American version. It would be an insult to Sailor Moon! But I think a subbed version would be great...
