High-pitched, relentlessly fast-paced, and filmed in eye-gouging, gumball color, this video series collects dubbed episodes of an animated Japanese series about a group of schoolgirl superheroes. In Japan, it's a lighthearted, kiddy variation on a popular sub-genre--stories of alienated, but supernaturally gifted adolescents granted paranormal powers and enlisted in apocalyptic struggles between the dimensions. Imported to the United States in an attempt to create a Power Rangers-style mega-hit for girls, Sailor Moon hasn't become a mainstream phenomenon on that scale, although it has passionate, even obsessive fans, many of whom are much older than the intended demographic. (A Sailor Moon Web search can be a truly surreal experience.) The chirpy, giggly tone may be off-putting for some, but the level of visual imagination (and the self-sufficient courage of the young heroines) is exhilarating, especially when kids and parents watch together. This first video volume includes the "origin" episode, "A Moon Star is Born," in which young Serena is transformed into Sailor Moon by the occult power of a locket provided by Luna, the talking cat. (Serena is still a solo act at this stage; she collects additional Sailor Scout comrades as the series progresses.) In the second episode, "Talk Radio," a phantom radio program is somehow connected with the door-to-door delivery of flowers that put people to sleep. (Running time: 44 minutes)--David Chute

A misty-eyed dreamland of girlie superheroes February 8, 2000

I love to watch this spirited fantasy/action anime cartoon for young girls on the Cartoon Network every weekend night. The adventures of such charming wide-eyed doll-like creatures in those adorable sailor-style costumes all take place in a clean, safe utopian society parallel to the real-life Japan where the wildest fantasies actually happen. I simply just relish in those streaking stars, bouncing bubbles, and sparkling glitter that surround those magical schoolgirls as they coyly ward off the weirdest monsters so gleefully created by the spoiled sons of the villainous family from outer space. However, despite the very fact Sailor Moon could work some real sorcery, it seems to me that she doesn't know how to fight at all. Instead, she would take one look, scream loudly, and scurry right off with her tiny skirt flying about her well-developed thighs. And it's up to the Prince Charming in a top hat, a white mask, and a flowing cape to save the poor girl in the nick of the time with a single rose thrown just like a dagger. But hey, don't worry about that - Sailor Moon's got such charm and wit to carry her through the craziest of crazy chaos ever to hit her pretty hometown located in the very heart of Japan's animeland!
Excellent Dub! Tracey Moore fan May 3, 2000

I love Sailor Moon! Tracey Moore's voice is THE BEST! It's way better than the new voice that changed later on in the series. It sounds more innocent and adolescent(which is the way Sailor Moon is supposed to sound). The music is pretty good for a dub! Especially when Sailor Moon throws her tiara. That's a good tune. Luna's voice is pretty neat although I haven't compared it to the original. I guess I just want to say how much I like Tracey Moore's voice. So far, between the Japanese voice, Terri Hawkes, and hers, I like Tracey's the best! She also played Princess in Mario Bros 3 and World cartoon. Good movie, good music, good animation, Great voices! Great dub.

Hello, this is the first episode of Sailor Moon. I am extremely looking forward to buying this. It is about a normal girl named Serena who bumped into a cat with a cresent moon on its forehead. The cat's name is Luna. Serena is late for class as always and of course fails a test. She goes to Molly's mom's jewelry store to check out the sale. After that, she wrinkles the test paper and throws it back hitting Darien's face. He sees the test and makes fun of her. She leaves mumbling about him. Later, she gets tortured by her mom and...That is all I gotta say, I can't possibly tell you the whole story when you're supposed to watch it yourself. You can email me for it, though! I encourage everyone to get every single video of Sailor Moon! Except the English Subtitles that have Japanese dubbing on it. I love this video!
Funny and sweet December 18, 1999

This is such a funny movie. It has the t.v. shows on it. It is also very sweet. I like the part where Serena says Moon Prism Power and make it fast. I think that is just so funny. Then there is the sweet part where Serena tries to bring Darien's ,her true love, memories back. This is a must have for any Saior Moon fan. If you have questions about the series feel free to e mail me. My e mail address is sailormoon77@n2mail.com!
