I don't usually do reviews, but I wanted to do my own honest assessment and make a review to help others make a purchasing decision.

I have been a fan of Sailor Moon ever since the dub was released in the US in 1995. We never got the rest of the R series or S, SuperS (until much later), and never Stars. I would print out the synopses from the Hitoshi Doi website (does anyone else remember that?) since I could not watch the episodes from Japan.

Around 1999, I went to a comic book convention where someone was selling some bootleg versions of the 3 Sailor Moon movies (which had not be licensed in the US yet), and I was in love. The Japanese version was soooo much better.

The first time (as far as I know) that Sailor Moon was legally available on DVD was the ADV releases. The first season came in a HUGE box and cost $200. It was so expensive that I could not afford to get the R season when it also came out for $200 in a similar huge box set.

Later I did get the S and SuperS series by Pioneer on DVD, but Stars has yet to be licensed until now. I also have the box set of all 3 movies from Pioneer, and I wonder if Viz will also be releasing the movies and the Ami's First Love mini-special.

I bought the Viz Blu-ray and DVD set in a heartbeat, since it would be nice to have all the episodes in similar box sets. I took a look at it, and it didn't seem perfect, but after comparing it with my ADV DVDs, it was a big improvement.

While trying to find the Amazon page for part 2 of this set, I was surprised by how many stars and how many bad reviews there were for this DVD set.

This review will only address video quality issues on the new Blu-ray and DVD releases. There has been a lot said here and on various forums about the issues with these discs, and this review will address and explain concisely exactly what the problems are and why not only is this set a complete and utter disaster, but that there are very good grounds for a recall and replacement program. In other words, not only are there serious image quality problems, there are also image quality mistakes that should never have gotten past the QC stage and need rectifying.

When Viz announced they were releasing Sailor Moon this year, they took part in an interview with ANN and it was made clear that they would be using Toei's old standard definition masters for the basis of their release. This was disappointing considering they had announced Blu-rays, but let me be clear that none of the issues with these sets have anything to do with them being in standard definition. We knew that going in and were prepared for it. You can read the full interview here:

The real problem lies in Viz's announcement that they were going to "remaster" these SD files to make them look HD. Alarm bells went off in every videophiles head when reading this, as what Viz was describing was simply not possible. Remastering in this sense means to post process to try and remove the inadequacies of the SD source, and to then smooth everything over to make it "look HD".

I'm a huge Sailor Moon fan. I've been a fan of the show since it showing up on Toonami when I was 10. I've watched the whole series subbed, I've watched the live-action series from 2004 (which is amazing and it's a crime it doesn't have a Western release) and I've been watching Crystal as new episodes come out.

I was happy to get this and start my official Sailor Moon classic collection. But I just can't enjoy it completely.

Pros:
- Absolutely gorgeous packaging. Sturdy box, beautiful booklet.
- Outstanding English dub. Viz nailed it on casting. This is Sailor Moon, but just in English. No terrible accents, no changes in characterization. It's phenomenal.
- Fantastic audio. Yes, the dub sounds great, but the old Japanese audio from 1992 sounds SO clear. Genuinely a BIG surprise.
- Price. Yes, 23 episodes on both BD and DVD at this price is FANTASTIC.

Cons:
- The video quality is atrocious. Oversaturation, smearing of the image, grain-removal on steroids (It was a show on film. There's grain. That's how it is.), ghosting images, blurred frames, aliasing, and horrible pixel artifacts on lines EVERY. SINGLE. FRAME. It's obnoxious and I can't NOT look at it and enjoy this otherwise outstanding release.

VIZ, you really dropped the ball on releasing a quality product. And your attitude on the matter of being called on your errors is disgusting. Sadly, because we don't have anything better on the market here in the states, I'll be reluctantly giving you my money for the next 9 sets, but that won't stop me from shouting and telling people about your shameful product and company policy.
