SAILOR MOON is a charming Anime series based on the popular Manga comic books. Follow Serena and her friends as they battle Queen Beryl and her minions from the Negaverse!

Fighting evil is a tough job and even superheroes like Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury can use a little help from their friends...especially when it is someone you can trust. Get ready for all-new excitement, as Raye discovers that she is Sailor Mars and joins the team. It will take the combined power of all three to defeat the evil being unleashed onto the Earth in this stunning second volume of SAILOR MOON!

Contains the following episodes - "An Uncharmed Life", "Nightmare in Dreamland", "Cruise Blues", "Fight to the Finish", "Match Point for Sailor Moon" and "An Unnatural Phenomena".

This DVD, as expected, contains the next six episodes of the DiC dub of Sailor Moon

* An Uncharmed Life - Rumors of buses dissapearing at a local temple raise concerns that the "Negaverse" may be involved. While investigating, Serena (Usagi) meets up with a strange girl named Raye Hino (Rei Hino), who turns out to be the Sailor of Fire, Sailor Mars

* Nightmare in Dreamland - A local amusement park called Dreamland is under suspicions when people are said to have disappeared at the park. It is believed the Negaverse is involved. Meanwhile, Serena and Raye must learn to stop arguing, and work together to fight the Negaverse.

* Cruise Blues - Raye wins tickets to go on a cruise, and Serena's not invited. When Serena sneeks onto the cruiser, she discovers the Negaverse is involved.

* Fight to the Finish - Jedite is down to his last opportunity to eliminate the Sailor Scouts. Will he succeed, or will Queen Beryl seal him into eternal sleep?

* Match Point for Sailor Moon - Queen Beryl sends her newest general, Nephlite, to drain energy from the humans in Tokyo. He begins by targeting a young tennis player. Sailor Moon must break the deuce to eliminate the monster controlling the tennis player.

* An Unnatural Phenomena - Nephlite targets an old man, who is angry that his wildlife park is being torn down in favor of a new office building. Meanwhile, Raye starts dating Darien, and Serena is forced to date Melvin, to Serena's annoyance. (Note: This is Terri Hawkes' first episode voicing Serena)

...And just so you people know before you start bashing the dub DVDs, if you want the uncut version, look for the separate boxset ADV released. Given that the many changes in the DiC dub that made, and that there was no separate English track for an uncut English version, ADV had no choice but to release the Japanese version and the English version on separate DVDs. So get over it.

The first DVDs of Sailor Moon series 1 are edited and are dubbed English only, a huge disappointment for fans who, up until now, have been given a choice of original japanese language with english subtitles and the English dub on an uncut DVD edition.
These edited dubbed DVDs could go up until Sailor Moon epsiode 80 (The end of the Sailor Moon R series) or hopefully before then they will stop making the simply edited dub version and expand into bilingual uncut.
Thankfully episodes 81 onwards are the uncut bilingual DVDs that are already available for purchase.
I can only hope that the producers of the uncut DVDs will be the ones who (if) get the rights to produce Sailor Moon: SailorStars, the last series which hasn't been translated at all.

The Sailor Scouts themselves would keel over if they seen these DVD's of the first season coming out. We should be getting the first of the Sailor Moon season the same way we are getting Sailor Moon S & Sailor Moon Super S. The episodes on the second DVD should be:

7. Usagi/Serena reconsiders! The way to stardom is tuff.
8. Is the genius girl a monster? The brain-washing cram school.
9. Usagi's/Serena's misfortune! Beware of the rushing clock.
10. The cursed bus! The fighter of flames, Mars, appears.
11. Usagi/Serena & Rei face off? The nightmare of dreamland.
12. I want a boyfriend too. Trap of the cruise ship.

With this DVD's release we are missing 3 episodes. By the time all the Sailor Moon season 1 DVD's are released a total of 6 episodes will never be seen. To make it worse is one of the episodes skipped is the next to last episode.

I would advise against getting the first season Sailor Moon DVD set. Tape the show off TV. You'll be getting the EXACT same thing.

The season itself it just fine, being that I want to get all of the seasons on DVD. However, I was a bit disappointed to only see a dubbed version in English only. It's a bit weird that the Sailor Moon S and Sailor Moon SuperS seasons were (and are still being) released in both English and Japanese and were uncut, yet the DVDs from the first season are not. I would have preferred this DVD to be like the other 2 seasons, but I guess I can't complain too much. Originally, I would have tried to record these same episodes in the same format at home. I suppose something is better than nothing. I just hope they don't release a 'dub only' DVD of the R season...

this is the second sailor moon dvd.it is dub only. if you are a new fan to the show i try not to write in any spoilers but there may be a few. the episodes on this dvd are as follows:

-an unnatural phenomena
