Sailor Moon: The Complete First Season

Product Information

The DiC/Cloverway/Optimum English adaptation of the anime series used the melody of "Moonlight Densetsu" with very different English lyrics. At the time, it was unusual for anime theme songs to be translated, and this was one of the first such themes to be redone in English since Star Blazers. [47] The English theme has been described as "inane but catchy". [48] The Japanese theme is a love song based on the relationship between Usagi and Mamoru ("born on the same Earth"), whereas the English Sailor Moon theme rather resembles a superhero anthem. Craig, Timothy J. (2000). Japan Pop!: Inside the World of Japanese Popular Culture. Armonk, New York: Sharpe. pp. 259–278. ISBN 9780765605610. The first opening theme, Moonlight Densetsu ( ムーンライト伝説, Mūnraito Densetsu, Lit. Moonlight Legend), was used for the first 166 episodes, being performed by DALI for the first two seasons [42] [43] and then by Moon Lips for the next two seasons. [44] [45] The second opening theme, for the remaining episodes, is "Sailor Star Song" performed by Kae Hanazawa. [46] The last ending theme, used for the series finale at episode 200, is Moon Lips's version of "Moonlight Densetsu". [9]

Fan translations of the manga began to circulate around the internet either before or after Mixx finished translating the series. One of the most popular fan translations was Alex Glover's translation, which he later took down after Kondasha started to release the English translation.

[ permanent dead link] I have seen the English dubbed version by Viz on hulu and I can admit that the critics who trash the voice acting as garbage fail to see the point. I am from a family of artists, with multilingual studies, written word and visual arts as part of my studies, I have learned that a 100% accurate translation in terms of vocal acting and wording of the lines originally spoken in anime is an impossible task that in certain cases, can't be done. But the fact that various episodes that were dropped in the first dub by DiC (later Cookie Jar, then DHX) have been translated into English and dubbed by Viz should be a pleasant bonus to those who had invested in the Japanese DVDs.

DiC was the first company to own the rights to the Sailor Moon anime in North America when they won the rights to the first two seasons in 1995 after striking a deal with Bandai, which would make toys based on the series. Their scripts were also much more faithful to their original ones and may also have been influenced by demand from the fans. The introduction of a TV rating system for children also helped to lessen censorship, as the show was rated TV-Y7-FV due to the amount of violence and thanks to the rules for children's television relaxing as a result of the system, the Sailor Says segment was cut out. in Japanese).
