Your Sailor Moon History

[Deleted]

When was it that you saw your first episode of Sailor Moon? Where (if you can remember)?
I saw my first episode of Sailor Moon (English adaptation) when it was first airing in Australia; Feb 1996.

Why were you drawn to it (if you were at the time)? If you weren't, why not?
I am not sure... maybe the purity and innocence it had. I was instantly hooked from that first episode, and I have been in love with it ever since.

Did you first watch the dubs or the original Japanese? If you watched the original Japanese, have you ever experienced the awfulness of what is the dubs (vice-versa)?
The dub first got me introduced to Sailor Moon, so I thank DIC for releasing their version in English. It wasn't till 1997 that I was aware their even was a Japanese version. This was because of the lack of computer and Internet access. As soon as i started High School, I started searching Sailor Moon and discovered the Japanese version. Finally I got my hands on all the versions of the show on DVD, and I would say the best dub seasons were the first 2 (by DIC), personally I hated Cloverway's dub of "S" and "Super S" but I like all of the series in Japanese (voices, music, everything!).

And, who was your favourite character then? Who is your favourite now?
My favourite has always been Sailor Moon, as I can relate most to her (loving sweets - clumsy sometimes), and as I saw the later season I started to like Sailor Uranus. I didn't really have a favourite villain, but after seeing Mistress 9 she became my favourite.

Have you read the manga and when?
I own nearly all the new edition PGSM Manga (still getting em), and I love the drawings, I can even read a lot of the Japanese written! yay! I mostly use the Manga for my website for references of intended names such as "Queen Metaria" and "Death Phantom".

When was it that you saw your first episode of Sailor Moon? Where (if you can remember)?
I can't remember the year. Whenever Cartoon Network was showing the S season. It was at my cousin house, the show of the second part where they take Usagi heart crystal.

Why were you drawn to it (if you were at the time)? If you weren't, why not?
I don't know, just liked it...
Did you first watch the dubs or the original Japanese? If you watched the original Japanese, have you ever experienced the awfulness of what is the dubs (vice-versa)?
First saw the dubs... Only thing on at the time. I later came to like the Japanese version way better.

And, who was your favourite character then? Who is your favourite now?
Uranus and Neptune. And Moon. Now it's Moon, Mars, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn.

Have you read the manga and when?
Never read a single manga, and probably never will sadly.

[Rini]

When was it that you saw your first episode of Sailor Moon (with all the details don't skimp)? Where (if you can remember)?
I saw the first episode of the third season during the middle of last school year, my friend invited me to her house for a study session (I don't know why; she is 2 years older then me), but we didn't end up studing, so she insisted we all watch sailor moon. Everyone was groaning about having liked her when they were 5, that the show was too young for them now. I didn't know what it was, and they all gasped and said, "Fine. We'll watch it. For Pixie's sake." (Pixie was my old nickname), so we watched it, I loved it, and everyone agreed that I was just like Rini, not Serena (Serena is my name, everyone calls me Rini now, after this event).
Why were you drawn to it (if you were at the time)? If you weren't, why not?
I was totally drawn to it; I adored Mina. (I did think Serena was annoying, though.)
Did you first watch the dubs or the original Japanese? If you watched the original Japanese, have you ever experienced the awfulness of what is the dubs (vice-versa)?
I am still in the prosses of watching the dubs, I've never seen the original.
And, who was your favourite character then? Who is your favourite now?
My favorite charecter was Mena, for sure. Now, (Except for "myself" {Rini}) Mina is still my favorite.
Have you read the manga and when?
Unfortunately not. I decided I was going to go in this order; dubs, originals, manga. I am itching to read the manga, though, because "I" (Rini) am more powerful in the manga... hehe!

When was it that you saw your first episode of Sailor Moon? Where (if you can remember)?

The first time I saw a WHOLE episode was on the DVD set of the S season I bought.

Why were you drawn to it (if you were at the time)? If you weren't, why not?

When the show first appeared in America in the mid-90's I thought it was G-A-Y gay. Never would've thought 10 years later I'd be a big fan. It started a few years back where I had a secret obsession with Sailor Mars, then a few years later, I also developed one with Sailor Jupiter, and then I decided to buy a whole DVD set of one of the seasons. And I found myself really liking it. And I still do like it. I especially still think the 5 inner senshi, and three of the outer senshi are sexy as ever.

Did you first watch the dubs or the original Japanese? If you watched the original Japanese, have you ever experienced the awfulness of what is the dubs (vice-versa)?

I watched the dubs first, because I refuse to watch any japanese animation that isn't in the english language, no matter how bad or good the dubbing is. The only time I actually watched a whole subbed episode was when I watched one of the episodes that never came out in North America, but I did however use footage from the "Stars" season in some of my AMVs.

And, who was your favourite character then? Who is your favourite now?

It was Sailor Jupiter, and today, it's constantly changing between her and Sailor Venus.

Have you read the manga and when?

No I haven't, but I've seen the character's art styles for it or whatever.

When was it that you saw your first episode of Sailor Moon? Where (if you can remember)?
I saw the first episode of Season R
Why were you drawn to it (if you were at the time)? If you weren't, why not? I was drawn to ift because she was another kind of super hero. Not like Marvel character with super-powers and un-natural muscles. Plus the story had more substance and more complexity too. It was when I was in 6th grade about 1995 to 1996 about.
Did you first watch the dubs or the original Japanese? If you watched the original Japanese, have you ever experienced the awfulness of what is the dubs (vice-versa)?
DUB since it was on on Fox TV Wehn i was in High school in and in the an Anime Club we watch some Sailor moon in the Sub-titles and i perferred the orginal Japanese version myself.
And, who was your favourite character then? Who is your favourite now?
At the time I was Just Sailor Jupitier becuase she was the most bold and powerfull of the inner-senshi. Right now my favorite is Sailor Mercury because she is the smartest and fits my personality type being more Anayitical
Have you read the manga and when?
Yes I have read only part it I have been try ing to find it forever but it cost an arm and leg. I can nbot affort it with what I make.

When was it that you saw your first episode of Sailor Moon? Where (if you can remember)?
I forget. It was like ten years ago, and I'm 16 now.
Why were you drawn to it (if you were at the time)? If you weren't, why not?
I was drawn to it because it was about a girl saving the world and not a male like it usually was back then.
Did you first watch the dubs or the original Japanese? If you watched the original Japanese, have you ever experienced the awfulness of what is the dubs (vice-versa)?
Let's think. I live in Canada, was about six when I started watching it. Um, I watched the dub. And well the original is good, it's not as good as the dub. What I don't like, is that people bash it because of what it is or isn't. Just stop and think for a few seconds. The English dub is for kids, while the original is for teens. People have to realize is. Also, I don't understand Japanese, and it's hard to watch a show when you don't understand a language.
And, who was your favorite character then? Who is your favorite now?
Sailor Moon. She's so powerful, caring, pretty. Yet she's so real.
Have you read the manga and when?
No. But I want to. But do they even sell English mangas anymore.
