Madman Entertainment picks up Sailor Moon for AUS and NZ

[mrploddy]

Do we have actual proof that new masters exist from Toei for S / Super S / Stars ?.

So far there has been no HD broadcast or home video release of any of the 3 in Japan

Season 3 is not available on iTunes! What gives Madman!

 

[chrissifniotis]

Wow, that's weird! I'm going to see if I can pick it up over the weekend and check it out.

 

[onesurvive]

Nope.

I had to get my DVD from America. My laptop can play different regions.

Blu-ray region isn't the same?

^UK is Region 2 for DVD & Region B for Blu-ray.

Now Madman are saying on Twitter that they aren’t releasing past Sailor Moon S on iTunes, Play, or any other digital format and Crystal won’t be digital until April. This sucks for digital only people!

If Toei is providing Australia an "HD" master/remaster(for Sailor Moon S) before releasing it in Japan, it could be a request made from Toei.

 

[West]

Maybe I didn’t explain it well. Madman aren’t release any more of Sailor Moon Classic via digital, No Sd no HD nothing. Crystal was HD from the start and they are delaying it on digital for an unknown reason. It’s available on Blu-ray in AU and US and digitally in US. There’s no good reason why.

Moon Prism Power Collection

Sailor Moon: Moon Prism Power Collection - DVD

This set is strange, It looks to be a DVD re-release of season 1 part 1 but the complete set for that season came out not too long ago and the listed extras implies that this will have new discs.and new packaging.

 

[chrissifniotis]

Huh. That's unexpected. To be honest I've been waiting for the S movie, but SuperS is still good. Have I missed the movie or is it not available yet?

The latter.

Does anyone know what master the r movie UK blu ray uses? Is it all japanese text only?

There is no UK bluray for the R movie. If you mean the Australian one then I assume it uses the same one as Viz.

The Madman DVD used the same master and yet that had English credits from Viz's digital release & theatrical premiere.

I just received Madmans's Sailor Moon R plus the R movie. I must say, I'm pretty pleased as far as this season goes picture and audio quality wise, but I must confess I'm hugely disappointed the movie was released with a mono track, when toei released it in stereo... When they first released it in DVD in Japan it had both mono and stereo options. I'm really bummed

 

[snowmint]

If only someone could confirm whether the master has no English text at all..

 

[moonman13]

Has anyone got the new blurays through madman are they better or should i stick to the dvd releases for the last two season seasons? Another question if I do have to rebuy the series in bluray whats a good program to rip the file so i can burn them on a disc?

The Madman BDs are the same quality as the Japanese BDs. I replaced my Region 4 DVDs with the BDs, but honestly you can upscale the DVDs with your Blu-Ray player and retain all the detail, since the BDs are a bit scrubbed.

Do you have any pics and so you think ill be ok if I just stick to the dvd release then even though they are no longer using the Euorpean masters.

I upgraded to BD because the discs are more durable and with better packaging. It's probably a better investment than DVDs.
