The series may be called Sailor Moon, but Ms. Moon has a group of pals who help her battle evil. Two episodes of the phenomenally popular series are featured on this video: "Jupiter Comes Thundering In," in which a cute boy is plagued by nasty evils, and "Sailor Venus Makes the Scene," which finds Sailor Moon confronting a doppelganger. Both episodes feature gripping and looming alien-demons (which evolve from "normal" looking humans) that may frighten younger viewers, but for fans who must have these first shows, it's a must. Like the ubiquitous Olsen Twins, this Japanese anime series has undeniable appeal. Fans of the series clamor for tapes in English as well as in the original Japanese, and know the cosmology of Sailor Moon with the fervor of any Star Trek Trekker. Five series, movies, video games, and merchandise fill the Sailor Moon catalogue. Sailor Moon, whose daytime alter ego is 14-year-old Serena (in the English version, which this tape is), is a nice, if not typical girl-power creation. She hates studying, loves comic books, has a tendency to whine, acts before she thinks, and is more than a little boy-crazy. Perhaps this is why she's so appealing: she's easier to relate to than some saintly superhero. (Ages 5 and up) --N.F. Mendoza

From the back cover

Serena, an ordinary 14-year old, discovers that she is really SAILOR MOON, a superhero with an extraordinary past that goes back 1,000 years! But the evil forces she escaped on the Moon have followed her, and each day Serena must battle them to save Earth! Jupiter Comes Thundering In. Seven Negaforce warriors are reincarnated as ordinary humans on Earth. One of the villains comes back as Game Machine Joe, a computer arcade whiz and a nice guy--but not for long! Sailor Jupiter makes a thunderous debut when Joe's ugly pas catches up with him. Sailor Venus Makes The Scene. Who's the imposter who's a dead ringer for SAILOR MOON--and could this mean the end for Tuxedo Mask? Sailor Venus makes a grand entrance in the midst of a deadly trap set by Queen Beryl's evil emissaries, Zoycite and Malachite!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jupiter and Venus Arrive!, March 30, 2000

By 

Chelsee Hanna (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sailor Moon: Jupiter And Venus Arrive [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In this dubbed version of Sailor Moon, you get to see Jupiter and Venus when they first arrive. The two episodes are not in order because Jupiter and Venus didn't appear right after the other did. In the episode of Jupiter comes Thundering in, Zocite is searching for the rainbow crystals and Lita gets in her way because of a newly found 'boyfriend.' Lita's friend has strang epowers that he uses to help ophans in need of toys. In this episode Jupiter comes in when she tries to save her friend. In the episode Venus makes the Scene, There is a fake Sailor Moon that is saving people. Serena and Lita see her and tell the other scouts about her. The scouts think that she might be a new Sailor Scout that wants to take Serena's place. Venus shows up at just the right time but Darien feel that the scouts hate him when they said that they didn't need his help anyway. All in all, I think that this movie is worth getting. It is good and I think that you will like it. It is a good movie for all ages. It entertains older and younger people, so no matter your age, Sailor Moon is a good has good lessons and at the end of every episode, there is a Sailor Says which states all of the important lessons that you should have learned. I think that it is worth getting.

This movie is so cool. Sailor Jupiter is my fave scout.She finally get the attention she diserves.Sailor Venus seems to be a little full of herself. If you are a Sailor Jupiter or Venus fan this movie is definetly for you.I especially like the part when Sailor Jupiter held the monster over her head.She wasn't even a scout when she did that.Watch this movie. It is awesome.
