A MUST HAVE FOR DIE HARD FANS!!, December 27, 2004
This review is from: Sailor Moon - Season Two - Uncut (Japanese Language Edition) (DVD)
Sailor Moon season 2 is a must buy. While i admit it does show its age...but you have to keep in mind that these episodes were made back in 1993 so some aging is to be expected.
In this sereis you get to see all that DIC left out in their attempt to kiddie sailor moon which was originally created for a teenage audience. I was very surprised when i discovered that DIC actually did not leave out any episodes in this season like they did in the previous....so you get the season as you saw it on Toonami, but uncut, and unkiddied. I was only disapointed to find that none of the seasons are bi-lingual so you cant make-fun of DIC anymore for its butchering of sailor moon. Luckily i dont mind subtitles and i LOVE the japanese voices which are very cute, especially Ami-chan's.
As in the season one set you will find no special features, but as there are 42 episodes to watch, you will be more than satisfied with that.
And for those who wish to know, runnig time is 450 minutes in Japanese 2.0 with english subtitles (as i mention above this is NOT bi-lingual) and the suggested rating is 15+ for some violence and nudity i believe and some language.
This is a season all fans will be sure to enjoy....dont miss out....they are only goind to make so many copies so hurry and get yours today before you miss out and are stuck with the DIC dubbed versions on VHS.

This is a great set., August 18, 2004
This review is from: Sailor Moon - Season Two - Uncut (Japanese Language Edition) (DVD)
Despite the price tag, this is a wonderful set to own.
If you have only seen the english dubs before now, trust me this is vastly superior. It tells the whole story behind these wonderful characters.
The rating for this is 13+, this is a bit high in my opinion. I think you could show these to a younger child without problems, but it is best left to the parent's discrecion.
My only problem with the set I have is the audio quality in some disks. They sound as though someone was running a lawnmower in the recording studio at the time.
Other than that, it was a joy to watch.

(Follow the Leader) (This episode was really more of a highlight of the past two seasons and a preview for Sailor Moon S. It was actually very awsome because it showed a lot of clips that were cut from the orginal (if you watched the dubbed version).)
Sound:
It definatly could be better but if you can adjust your tv, you should be fine. But then if you have the 1st season box set, then it really isn't a big surprise and you get used to it. However I will admit: I expected it to be better. But then it was recorded in mono, and I believe only the last season, Stars, was recorded in sterio orginally.
Picture:
Still shakey and still rather annoying, even it it did do that in the first box set.
Box Art:
Beautiful, better than the 1st seasons.
Music:
That comes the with sound argument. If you can hear it clearly,the music it's often pretty and most of the song rocks.
Extras:
::laughs:: What extras? They REALLY should have had more than ADV promos...
Overall review:
This is a very great season and a must have for all fans of the series. Yes it has minor flaws and even a missing episode but trust me, its worth buying with them. Even though the second season isn't my favorite (as the orginal is will alwasy be my fav.) its still very much worth buying and great start. And for those of you who have seen the dubbed verisons (the cut english by dic) than I must INSIST that you buy it. You won't be sorry.
Worth the Money:
The biggest question of them all. Honestly, I would definatly say its worth the money, but I would advise you trying to find it less in Amazon market place if you (and probably) can.
Hope I helped.
