This is the edited version of season 3's 2nd volume.

Episode 87: Swept off her Feet - Andrew's sister dreams of her first kiss, making her a target for the heart snatchers. When the scouts rush after the monster to retrieve the pure heart, Uranus & Neptune snatch it first. Their dedication to their mission is shown when they refuse to return the pure heart if it is a talisman.

Episode 88: Blinded by Love's Light - Molly and Melvin are nervous about their relationship and enter a contest for couples to prove their love. Amara and Michelle enter as a joke while looking out for heart snatchers. When a new monster does strike and snatches Melvin's pure heart, the scouts leap into action.

Episode 89: Lita Borrows Trouble - After an accident, Lita begins admiring Amara and goes off with her and Michelle for an afternoon of fun. The other scouts worry about her and rightly so. Lita is the newest target of the heart snatchers. The other scouts rush in to save Lita while Uranus and Neptune snag her pure heart to see if its a talisman. When her heart is returned, Lita morphs into Sailor Jupiter, ready for payback.

I THINK THIS VIDEO IS GREAT! IT CONTAINS THREE EPISODES OF THE SAILOR MOON S SEASON. THIS TAPE FEATURES THESE THREEE EPISODES "PROTECT THE PURE HEART! A THREE WAY BATTLE" AND "LEAVE IT TO THE MOON FOR LOVE AID" AND THE SKIPPED EPISODE "COLD-HEARTED URANUS? MAKOTO IN TROUBLE" ALSO KNOWN AS "SWEPT OFF HER FEET" AND "BLINDED BY LOVE'S LIGHT" AND "LITA BORROWS TROUBLE" THESE EPISODES FEATURES CHOPPED OFF SCENES AND A TRANSLATION OF THE JAPANESE WORDS THAT APPEAR IN THE SHOW. IT ALSO COTAINS THE SKIPPED THEME SONG, AND THE PREVIEW OF EACH EPISODES!

The second VHS in the S series, The Love War has three exciting episodes. First up is Pure na kokoro wo mamore! Teki mikata mitsu tomoe lansen. Everyone is worried when Unazaki's pure heart is taken by Ou-Souji. Rei uses an anti-evil chant to calm her down after she tries to kiss Makoto. The second episode Koi no otasuke ha Moon ni omakase is about Umino and Naru's love problems, which turn out alright at the end in a love contest. The final episode on this tape Reikokuna Uranus? Makoto no pinch is about Kaorinite taking Makoto's pure heart and not giving it back. Makoto transforms into Jupiter and says Uranus is no different than the enemies. This tape is also available edited dubbed and uncut dubbed.

Me and my brother rented this tape from Bradley Video because we wanted to watch a show from our childhood that we haven't seen in years. We got this mostly for Uranus' and Neptune's appearances and thought this tape will remind us of our childhood like the DiC episodes. However, when we popped in the tape, we were like "what happened?!" The opening had japanese titles, the music was strange, Serena sounded like a nagging grandma, there was distrubing content and it just didn't remind us of the old Sailor Moon we knew at all! I was confused with the DiC and Cloverway dubs mostly because of the music, the voice acting not so much. My brother couldn't stand the transformations. Whenever the girls were like "Moon Cosmic Power! Venus Star Power!" an obnoxious "SAILOR MOOOON! DuDuDuDuDuDuDuDOO-DOO-DOO (orchestra repeating it), and dududududu...saila venaaasss! (stars explode) saila venaassss! (final pose). We were quite not satisfied with the original transformation and attack music (refering to "Moon Spiral Heart Attack"). We found the ending theme, "Tuxedo Mirage" a nice touch and was the first japanese song I learned since "romaji" is included in subtitled versions of the VHS (even the uncut dub, NOT the TV dub).

Anyways, eight years later, this anime has stood by me as my favorite ever since, along with Ai Yori Aoshi, and the KEY/VisualArts animes like "Kanon, Air and Clannad (highly reccommended!)." Now, I enjoy both DiC, Cloverway dubs and uncut versions of the anime, especially the unaired "Stars" season. These VHS's are a few cents online, so if you love anime, I reccommend the "edited" videos of this timeless classic anime for your children or younger siblings, boys or girls. Dramatic, comedic and funny action. Sailor Moon, please be relicensed by Funimation and come back to us!

This video contains 3 uncut episodes:

1) Protect the Pure Heart! The Three way battle

Uranus and Neptune's coldness is revealed in this episode, not wanting to be part of the Sailor team whatsoever. There's also a small "yuri" scene in this episode that I was quite shocked at the TV edit that didn't cut the scene out.

2) Leave it to the Moon for the love aid

A fun episode involving the annoying characters, Molly and Melvin entering a contest. There's a group transformation in this episode and the daimohn is funny "Die HEART!!!" By the way, more yuri, with Amara (Haruka) and Michelle (Michiru meaning "triumph" in jap) being "lovers."

3) Cold-Hearted Uranus? Makoto in trouble

This episode is more suspenseful than the comedic appeals of the last two, involving Lita's (Makoto's) danger and wondering how she'll survive when she's stranded with her pure heart stolen. Even more, intense "yuri" moments where Lita looks like she's falling for Amara, Raye keeping a magazine with a cross-dressing woman on the cover as a "special interest" (by the way, the Cloverway dub nailed that entire scene perfectly to make it seem like a "love quiz magazine" instead, great job Cloverway) and a disturbing scene where the daimohn "flashes" her left breast at Lita to extract her pure heart. The TV edit only "barely" cut that scene out, but it's still known in BOTH versions that the daimohn used her breast, judging by the scenes used.

omg finally the featured item is a item i own!!

Anyway, this tape focues on uranus,neptune, lita, and melvin and molly's relationship.

it isnt one of my personal favorites...

But honestly, this tape is lighthearted and funny, sailor moon fans will surely enjoy it.

This video has awesome dialouge! I'll recommend this to SM fans! In fact, I'm one of them!!!! I've been watching SM when I was a 5 year old in Japan. I did not think it was violent at all! This video has ecellent music. I sure wish It was still on TV! SM ROCKS ^__^!!!!

OUR DAY HAS COME FELLOW ANIME FANS. EVER SINCE MY FRIEND (WHO I MIGHT ADD IS JAPANESE) INTRODUCED ME TO ANIME AND MANGA I HAVE BEEN WAITING AND WAITING FOR THE PIONEER TO BRING THE GOOD OL' STUFF HERE, AND NOW THEY HAVE. IT'S NOT JUST SAILORMOON EITHER, THEY ARE BRINGING TONS OF IT OVER ie: RAYEARTH, TENCHI MUYO, EVANGELION, AND KITE TO NAME A FEW. SO ALL YOU ANIME FANS OUT THERE, NOW THAT YOU DON'T HAVE AN EXCUSE TO WATCH THE CRAPPY DUB VERSIONS, YOU HAD BETTER GET THIS. I MEAN SSAILOMOON IS TO GOOD TO WASTE ON THE BEHEADING(AHEM)DUBBING RITUAL.

This series introduces us to the outer scouts. my least favorites are Huraka and Michiru. I like their japanese names just dislike their japanese relationship. my favorite of the outer scouts/senshi are Sailor Saturn and Sailor Pluto. Of course you'll have to either watch it on TV,rent it or buy the videos according to your tastes.My favorite part is when Jupiter brawls with Uranus. Go Jupiter!

Ah... Sailormoon S. Uncut, untouched, in Japanese... This is what I live for! Three full episodes of pure, unadulterated Moonie pleasure. I'm so glad that Pioneer is releasing a subbed version of my favorite show, unlike a certain company with the rights to the fisrt two seasons. **cough**ADV**cough** Cloverway & Optimum did a horrible thing to Sailormoon S (and SuperS) when they dubbed them. I was glad to see that the original music was there, and I adored Rini's new voice but, otherwise, the dub really stank. Ja ne, K_CC

Sailor Moon is a great series, and I'd reccomend it to anyone. But, if I was going to buy it, I'd personally get the sub, because the dub's story is changed a bit (ex: Uranus and Neptune were turned into cousins int the dub). But, if you aren't very good at reading, then you'll still enjoy the dubbed version. There's not enough of a change for it to impact the entire plot, so either way, I recomend this show to anyone!
