I actually liked Viz Media's packaging, but now I have to sell those sets. Anyone know where I can sell them, besides eBay?

I honestly don't care. Yes, I'm going to be lazy. I'm not going to delete images just because. It's a waste of my time.

Your point? Don't care what anyone thinks of my opinion. I'm not here to get a good grade or please anyone, I'm here to discuss, to debate, to argue, to have fun. I'm going to agree with people when I agree with them and disagree when I disagree with them. It's as simple as that.

Come to think of it, I haven't really complained about the Sailor Moon video quality. I don't think it is all that great as it sure as hell isn't going to win any awards, but it is a lot better than what it could be for a show from 1992.

Wrap the pics in a spoiler. It literally takes just a few seconds. Jeez. It's actually official board policy to not quote pictures!

How do you expect to carry civilised conversations, discuss, debate, argue and have fun when you insist on being a lazy douche?

I like how he took the effort to break apart your post into quotes here, but can't remove links or put them in spoilers.

Also reason why you don't quote images is because it's redundant, causes unnecessary extra scrolling (so you're wasting people's time and your own), makes loading times longer, and wastes bandwidth. What if there were 100 large images you were quoting? Imagine having 200 images loading at once (100 being repeated twice), imagine how much strain that can put on someone loading the page, especially if they have a low bandwidth cap. Remember, cable and phone companies like to nickel and dime people, and that's why we have data caps.

[Vlad Draculi]

In all seriousness, I never thought of the images because pretty much every site I go to automatically converts them into html links when you quote them.

Interesting to see that a DVD release has legitimately outclassed a Blu-ray release in this day and age. Very saddening, but I'm glad at least there is a decent option out there for a person who wants to obtain the series in a decent format.

[BigOnAnime]

There's sadly plenty of anime releases (mainly Japanese ones actually) I can think of where the Blu-ray is inferior to a DVD. Just about anything Q-TEC has upscaled tends to look worse than the DVD. Even stuff like this ends up inferior due to not doing a good job. They have less detail than old ADV and Geneon DVD's.

What extras do the Madman releases have? Any art cards? I've no interest in importing, despite the fact that the Viz sets have abysmal video quality -- I'm too easily swayed by those shiny, shiny boxes (I'm a magpie, really). But just out of curiosity, do they port over everything from the NA release?

There were some retailers that were giving away free Sailor Moon Pop! figurines with every purchase. That's what I heard anyway.

I know that but having watched them a couple of times the old dub doesn't bother me one little bit-better than watching it with the horrendous japanese track.

[Vlad Draculi]

You mean the dub where Sailor Moon sounds like she is talking with nose plugs on and they completely screwed up the cast's entire names? Not to mention genders for some characters. Oh, and Uranus and Nepture were now cousins.

When these same English dub voice actors and actresses are acting in a cartoon series or movie that was made in America or just anything that is not Anime, no-one says anything about their acting then.

Yeah I think I know how many Anime fans think. But as for me, the old English dub for Sailor Moon was 1 of my 1st Anime series of when I was really getting into Anime, so I did enjoy it, but I think Stephanie Sheh is my favorite between all of the people who have played as Sailor Moon in the English dubs.

No matter if you like the old English dub or not, it's not going to come back into the market with these new Uncut English version being made.

[zrdb]

I do think the new english dub is an order of magnitude better than the old one but I never did like the original japanese track-it just never sounded right to me-but to each their own.

Now there's a Sailor Moon game available on the App Stores.

[coolkat]

What the app called and is it found in the U.S. iTunes Store. Also I don't know if you guys collect funko pops but hot topic has sailor moon exclusive funko pop. They don't have any of the other characters yet but you can preorder at GameStop. They made all the characters except the outer sailor scouts and rini.

Sailor Drops and yes it can be found on the app store for both iTunes and Google Play. It was originally released in Japan, but now Namco brought it over to the states.

Just a puzzle game, but still fun and got it to show my love for the series. It's also free, though like most free to play games, the game becomes easier if you put money into it, or you can do it the hard way.

Sailor Moon Crystal set 1 is up at RS with GWP. The GWP is a sun catcher and not a coin this time.

Finally!

[gundamcero]

Tried watching the new series. Can't believe how terrible the animation is. All the characters are so god awful looking. Hell, even the original show had better character designs. Set looks nice though. But I can't see my self ever trying to watch it again. Even with the improvements on blu
