Anyway, here's another great Sailor Moon S DVD from Pioneer ^^ Again it's great value for money with 6 uncut episodes in both subtitled and dubbed formats (i.e. the content of 4 VHS tapes), and there are some really good episodes (many of which actually advance the story) too. My favourite on this disc is the last one ("Invasion from an Alternate Dimension! The Mystery of Mugen Academy"), where in a very emotional scene we find out a bit about the past of Professor Tomoe and Hotaru, and also we get introduced to Telulu, Mimet's successor with funky green hair ^^

The DVD quality is roughly the same as always. We have great cover art on both the outside and the inside (although I like the outside cover better), pretty good video quality and, to be perfectly honest, horrible sound quality (not that any better was expected). The menus feature Sailor Mars and are great, as always. The extras are both quite boring this time: a Sailor Mars profile/art gallery, and the third opening (which was used for all the episodes in the American release) with Japanese credits. I was hoping for the end-of-episode previews, but no such luck :(

And finally we come to the quality of the dub. This disc has four good episodes, one that was done by the bad writer but has no real problems and one that was done by the bad writer but doesn't have as many problems as in some others (although enough was changed that the story of the dubbed episode makes no real sense). The acting (and also the mixing of the audio) seem to be improving - I enjoyed the dubs of these episodes more than the ones on the earlier discs. The original's still my preference though.

I'm sure what I'm about to say is no surprise: If you have all the discs so far (and like them to some extent), get this. The storyline is getting better and better, and with the Messiah of Silence on the verge of awakening and only one disc left to go, you don't want to stop now!

Well, this is almost the end of the S series. This DVD volume mostly focuses on the arrival of the Messiah of Silence, as well as the relationship between Hotaru and Chibiusa. There are a lot of funny moments, as well as touching moments, on this DVD. However, that's only if you are watching the original Japanese verison with subtitles. The dud is just annoying. If you want to get the REAL Sailor Moon S experience, watch the original with the subtitles. Also, the extras are ok. You get a picture gallery of Sailor Mars/Rei and a bio on her. Oh yeah, and parents worried about the whole "lesbian" thing between Haruka and Michiru (Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune) can give a sigh of relief. Even in the original version, you really couldn't tell that they were lovers.....on this volume anyway. However, it should be known that they are lesbians, and that may frighten some of you, but that makes this series all the more touching. To me, they have the most heartfelt and touching relationship in ANY anime that I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of anime in my time. So, if you're a fan of Sailor Moon, or you just want to catch up on some old episodes you might have missed, this DVD is worth every penny you pay. Do yourself a favor and get it.

This Uncut Version is great! Six great episodes in one DVD that you'll truly enjoy! One of my favorites is "The Battle in a Demonic Dimension!The Sailor Soldier's Bet" because its funny and interesting to watch, like its funny how the Sailor Scouts play all these games just to get out,and I really enjoy watching this episode in japanese. These episodes also explain alot more about Hotaru not only that she might be Sailor Saturn, but also the Messiah Of Silence.

This video has a great and particularly emotional trio of episodes. In the first one, Dr. Tomoe's slightly geeky assistent (her name's either Annete of Mennete) adds to many items in the Heartsnatchers oven and creates a warp in the house while Rini and Hotaru are inside playing cards, making a strange, funny, and confusing adventure for the Scouts when they come to the girls' rescue. The second episode, Rai, Michelle, and Trista keep having disturbing dreams of the end of the world and the Soverign of Silence, who may be Hotaru! Finally, the last episode is definately a tear jerker at the beginning for senseitive Moonies, dealing with Rini and Hotaru's relationship. The rest is the outer Scouts search for info on Hotaru and Dr. Tomoe's past. This original uncut version is really cool, with a beautiful ending theme at the end (sung in Japanese). The only bad thing about this video is you have to buy the one following it because the final episode just cuts you off! But all in all, this video is great. I definately recommend it!

In this volume, the Senshi discover that Hotaru is Sailor Saturn! It's an exciting volume, I bought it from Amazon.com about a year ago. The entire season of Sailor Moon S is awesome, it's my 2nd favorite Sailor Moon season. Mimet is also dead by the end of this volume, which may cause some of you to jump for joy. I, personally, love Mimet and hated to see her go. The volume kind of leaves you at a cliff-hanger, be sure the get Heart Collection VI!

This is volume 5 of 6

Hotaru and Chibi-usa monopolize the fifth volume of the S series. All of the episodes center around Hotaru, as her strange powers assert themselves and her true identity made known. I have little tolerance for Chibi-usa, but even I found these episodes to be watchable. The ep where Mimet jams everything she can get her hands on into the Daimon machine is funny. The wierd twisting of dimensions causes some very wierd things, right when the evil Professor Tomoe is on a trip to the store to pick up some snacks for his organization (I'm not making that up!) Eventually, Hotaru's true identity is revealed, but that just makes chibi-usa all that more adamant that her friend isn't a bad person. If you like Hotaru, or are a fan of the Outer Senshi, this is a good DVD to buy.

S(ailor)M(oon)S v(olume)5 in my opinion is the best DVD yet out of the previous four...so far that is. SMS v6 will knock the others out of the water. V5 is when things start picking up. The last episode on this DVD is the main reason why SMS is my favorite season, though i considered most of the beginning of this season kind of boring..but still...it has to be my favorite due to the awsome final 14 episodes. SMS v5 is also really good because like i said..the action really starts in this DVD..and if you wanna skip all the mellow-drama and get to the action...buy this DVD (as well as v6).
Like the other SMS DVD's, v5 has reversible covers with what I think is the most gorgeous pictures ever created.(Uranus, Neptune and Pluto-Side 1) (Tuxedo Kamen and ChibiMoon - Side 2). This DVD features Sailor Mars and the Extra's contain a well written bio on Rei Hino/Sailor Mars and even a small gallery (containing 5 pictures) and the original japanese opening (version 0.3) as well. And of course you can watch it in Japanese or English- both versions are good.
SMS DVD v5 truley introduces Sailor Saturn, the history of the Death Busters, some major drama with Chibiusa and Setsuna and best of all you get to meet my favorite villian of all the SM series..Telulu. All in all this is a great DVD which features the awsome Supers season.

This is a great DVD. ... Sailormoon was made for teenagers/mature kids in Japan, this quickly blossomed into a kid/teen-ager/adult show. You may compare it to adults liking the Rugrats , only with a much bigger impact.It's a timeless classic of romance and friendship, to be able to grow up under its' influence is an honor... It's terrible, North America targeted this show for LITTLE, and I mean LITTLE children.I believe Usagi/Serena's very first voice, was the closest North America has gotten to matching it to Usagi...her later voice *even though she went through MMMAAAANNNNYYY* was *I Believe* good, just not for Usagi...but all in all Usagi's North American voice ... This DVD is very crucial to the storyline, Please buy it to help the Sailormoon campaign throughout the world! Also, if the storylines were'nt rewritten so much with it's "cool" talk it might have been better. Ami NEVER says things like "COOL MOVE SAILOR MARS!" OMG she's WAY to proper as is Michiru.

If you like sm then get this DVD. This is almost the end of the Super Series. Volume6 is the best one. The dubbing is better then the 1st two seasons.

In this part sailoruranus,neptune and pluto get suspicous about chibiusa`s friend hotaru they suspect that she could be the messaih of silence! the person that can bring destruction and terror into this world! they also suspect hotaru being sailor saturn! uranus,neptune and pluto are determined to prevent the terror but can they destroy a fellow soldier??
