Not the same Sailor Moon I knew
<
> <
> <
>Upon the end of Sailor Moon R somewhere back in 99' I was left with a gaping sense of emptiness after the finale (which I can't remember very well since it was a very long time ago). I was avid fan of Sailor Moon; the so-called Female "Power Rangers" show for girls, I loved everything about it. I didn't return to watching Toonami until March sixth which was the arrival of Gundam Wing) and afterward a new season of DBZ starting off with the Trunks saga. So you can I was surprised to find that Sailor Moon had returned with a new season as well. After they had taken her off the air completely I wasn't broken up too much about it. I had the TV-shows for boys (DBZ and GW, Superman, and Batman/Batman beyond, among other things) to watch and keep me happy. <

>On Christmas I received Sailor Moon S - Pure Hearts (Vol. 1, TV Version). I was excited to watch it again. But when I popped it into the VCR the glimmer of excitement and respect had fallen completely from me; they changed everything I had came to expected from this Shuojo-anime. Maybe the purists who don't mind editing were jumping in their seats upon hearing the original soundtrack from the Sailor Moon Uncut version, but I was pissed. They changed most of the voice actors for every character I either liked or thought was okay [AKA; Mina, Amy, Rini, Sailor Pluto, Serena, and Andrew] with second rate actors who try their best to mimic their past voice actors but fail miserably in every aspect. <

>Episodes about Serena and Rini aren't as interesting as they were in Sailor Moon/R; they have a little girl encouraging grown adults to never give up on love because if they do they might regret it for the rest of their lives (as if she knew anything about it being a C-H-I-L-D and all), Serena basically broods about everything concerning saving the world, blaming herself, jumping all over Darien, being the klutz she is and saving the day at the end of every episode. There is no longer an aspect of character development in this series. Episodes that are basically about everyone else are still as boring as ever because they're still the backup troopts and never destroy the monsters that attack people they know. When an enemy challenges Sailor Mars - Jupiter - Venus - and Mercury, they just weaken it and Sailor Moon does the rest of the killing, there basically is no new aspect to the four secondary characters powers or strengths. <

>The plot for Sailor Moon S isn't as gripping as the others although it is change from the regular Steal energy or crystals. This time the enemy wants pure hearts of a particular kind in order to achieve world domination and reawaken a long lost leader of theirs that lies dormant in the body of a small child named Hotaru, so they target everyone they possibly can, mostly people who are close to the sailor scouts until they discover that the pure-hearts they're searching for lay within two new Sailor scouts; Neptune and Uranus. Whom are lesbians in the uncut version *frowns* but cousins in the edited version, thankfully, but are unaware of the third holder of the crystal is Sailor Pluto --- Trista. <

>When these three items are combined they give Sailor Moon a new method of transforming along with new powers. But this new item drains Sailor Moon's energy everytime she uses it. Eventually the bad guys decide to rear their ugly heads and Kidnap Rini. The sailor Scouts head off to rescue the young girl but find themselves coming one-second too late for Rini's the holder of the purest heart (as well as, the pure-sweet energy, white mirror dream of Pegasus and so on). It is given to Hotaru's evil and it reawakens her split personality Mistress Nine: the sailor scouts try to stop her evil but are overpowered (Sailor Pluto is believed to be killed), Sailor Moon is the only one able to get inside the protective dome Mistress Nine has created around her fortress, Sailor Uranus and Neptune try with all their might to kill Mistress nine but find themselves constantly stopped but an ignorant Sailor Moon who practically helps Mistress nine destroy the world by giving her the sailor chalice in a vain attempt to save Hotaru. <

>When Mistress Nine gives the sailor Chalice to her master Pharaoh 90 she is supposedly doubled crossed the moment after thus creating a rifft between her control over the young Hotaru's spirit and body. Hotaru's positive side reawakens and destroys Mistress nine and is reborn as Sailor Saturn; the sailor scout of destruction. Without a second thought Sailor Saturn leaps into the heart of Pharaoh 90 and destroys him knowing that she will die as well but the sailor scouts (like always) surrender their powers to Sailor Moon who transforms without the sailor chalice and enters Pharaoh 90 as he is destroyed saving a reborn baby Hotaru's life. After that Sailor Uranus and Netpune object to Sailor Moon being their princess because they think of her as weak (and in so many ways, Sailor Moon is the weakest out of all the characters) but end up being beaten by Sailor Moon's bright-light from her broach (what a sucky way to be beated) and return to whever they came from. <
> <
> <
>All in all its a basic romp of Mix-pause-and-repeat. Maybe I've lost interest in Sailor Moon, but I do know one thing. the first season and other seasons before S -Super-S-and Stars were far better than this. [a 2 out of 5]

The Beginning of 'S'
This is the edited first volume of the third season, S. This season was dubbed by a different company, so many of the voices from the first two seasons have been replaced. Serena's new voice is the only one that is tough to deal with. The actress tries too hard to imitate the previous voice, but she does improve a great deal as the episodes go on. Luckily, Lita & Raye's voice actors return, making the transition easier. Many people will complain about the edited version, but aside from one or two examples, you're not really missing anything. <
> <
>Episode 83: Star Struck, Bad Luck - 1st Dr. Tomo, Kaori. Raye has a dark vision that troubles her. She's worried about a new enemy appearing. Sure enough, a crazed scientist is searching for special pure hearts that will unleash the Purity Chalice. Raye is attacked for her pure heart & when the scouts rush to her aid, Serena's transformation locket is broken. Also, two warriors in the shadows appear, also hunting for the pure hearts. <
> <
>Episode 84: Crystal Clear Again - Serena is depressed about not being able to transform into Sailor Moon. Darien takes her to an abandoned house where a bunch of kittens live. A little girl takes care of the cats, making her a pure heart target. When a new monster appears, Serena and Darien's love produces the Spiral Moon Rod allowing Sailor Moon to return. Again, the two new warriors strike from the shadows. <
> <
>Episode 85: Driving Dangerously - 1st Appearance of Amara/Sailor Uranus, Michelle/Sailor Neptune. Mina and Serena ditch studying to play at the arcade and meet Amara, whom they mistake for a boy. While chasing Amara and the beautiful Michelle around town, the Heart Snatchers strike again. This time, the new warriors emerge from the shadows. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune work alone and have no interest in helping the other scouts protect the heart bearers. <
> <
>Episode 86: Bad Harmony - Serena is tired of her childish clutziness and wants to better herself for Darien. She stumbles upon Michelle playing the violen and decides to try learning about classical music. When she and Darien head to a concert, the heart snatchers strike & the Sailor Scouts leap into action. <
> <
>This is the beginning of my favorite season and if you can afford the DVDs, go for it. Otherwise, pick these up cheap and enjoy the story. And, yes, if you are a cliche anime fan obsessed with "uncut" and japanese voices only, feel free to skip these.
