My Amazon copy of Vol. 4 just shipped. I’m very happy with these editions so far. They’re a cheaper and more practical alternative to the Eternal editions that match the other manga in my collection. They have the same updated translation and the print/binding quality is very nice. Pretty much...

I actually think the basic concept would've been very interesting for a children's show, although I'm trying to figure out why the Princess Fighters live on Earth if they have to constantly go back to space and fight monsters exclusively on other planets. Obviously there was no need for a...

No color pages either.

You also had Brokeback Mountain in 2005, which is widely believed to have lost Best Picture because homosexuality was still too taboo for the Academy at the time. However, that was controversial even then. For the record, my parents loved the film and my mom in particular seemed more accepting...

I’m not sure how good Todd is as an ADR director, but it should be interesting to see if the dubbing quality improves now with a new studio and director, but the same cast.

Well, Pioneer is credited as producing the dub on the uncut versions, so they probably had some financial hand in it. It was probably produced uncut because they were planning on releasing it uncut on VHS and billingual on DVD. The credits for the movies are similar, and I really do think both...

R.I.P. :( Gone way too soon. So much death lately, it's been terrible. She's already the second untimely death from SMC after Yuko Mizutani (Usagi's mother, coincidentally also voiced by Tara Platt in English), and second for Kaolinite (after Kirsten Bishop's passing).

Two Tuxedo Mask voice actors have voiced Spider-Man: Rino Romano (eps. 1-11 in the DiC/Optimum dub) voiced him in Spider-Man Unlimited and in four video games in the early 2000s (Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, X-Men: Mutant Academy, and X2: Wolverine's Revenge), and Robbie Daymond (Viz...

Rei has always been the alpha bitch, especially in the original anime.

This is so tragic. R.I.P. :( Kunzite seems to be an unlucky character as far as deaths go. His seiyuu from the original anime, Kazuyuki Sogabe, passed away in 2006 from esophageal cancer at age 58, and his DiC English voice actor, Denis Akiyama, passed away in 2018 from cancer at age 66. His...

Just look at any Aniplex USA release. Holy [BLEEP].

Pretty sure Sailor Moon will go to Funimation's streaming service like other Viz titles recently.

Glad I held out then, because I'd much rather get those editions. The Eternal editions are just too tall for my taste, and these would match the rest of my manga collection. Saves me a lot of $$$ too. Toei's name and logo is still heavily featured on Viz and Madman's releases, so I don't think...

The manga and original anime were definitely set in the early-mid 90s (ignoring the awkward updates in manga reprints like changing a floppy disc to CD). PGSM was mid-2000s. Crystal is mid-late 2010s.

Also, keep in mind, some terminology and translation choices are dictated by Toei and Naoko.
