The Return of Sailor Moon?

[GimmeAnime]

Gahh! The return of Sailor Moon would be amazing! And if wasn't butchered that would be awesome too, I hate it when the kiddie stations get a hold of stuff that shouldn't be touched. A friend also told me that there's a rumor about funimation remaking Yu-Gi-Oh! That would make me most happy buuuut.... anyway, I definitely believe that funi could make it work, they've done great work on other animes.... So here's hoping *crosses fingers*

Funimation did release a few uncut episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh a while back. Not sure if they'd do the entire series, though.

And as far as a Sailor Moon dub goes, I really don't care who or how they do it as long as it is uncut and the Japanese vocal track is still there. And they keep the opening song in sync with the credits (glares at ADV).

On second thought, I think Luci Christian would do a great Chibi-usa as well givin' some of her kiddie roles in Yumeria and others and since she can do a good kid character, she would do an excellent chibi-usa.

I SAY NO NO NO DUBBING PERIOD! I think JAPANESE ONLY! I don't like American dubbs of anything! Other than Hellsing! SO NO MORE DUBING OF SAILOR MOON!

[Daft Punk]

eh, I would say no...US dubs tend to suck REALLY bad but there has been those select few that have been ok.

[Rippy The Nekomatta]

SAILOR MOON SHOULD NEVER BE DUBBED AT ALL, if someone can't read subtitles its their own fault!

Actually, nagi, ADV released seasons 1 and 2 uncut, japanese only, with subtitles, and I know that seasons 3 and 4 were released dual language DVD and uncut as well, so for the purists out there, the only thing we don't already have is season 5.

Frankly, I don't mind dubs so long as they're half decent (Like the first half of R via Dic, if you ignore the name-butchering) and my husband has an eye disorder, so if I'm gonna introduce him to the goddess of Maho-shoujo, I have to show it dubbed, and I can't STAND to show him the current one.

So, I say give me a full series box set, decently dubbed, with japanese language track and subtitles.

If FUNimation picks it up then chances are they are going to dub it, I have never really seen a series that FUNimation has that doesnt have a dub, but thats whats nice about Hybrid dvds is that you do have that option, and I am sure that the quality is going to be a lot better than that of older dvds, seeing as how Toei would probably give them the stuff they used for the japanese R2 dvds, which is amazing quality.

Here is another question that I would like to raise,
How would you like it released?
FUNimation made the 13 episode boxset famous, but I dont know for me I would buy 6 episodes per disc with a starter boxset ect, or just buy a whole boxset.  

[DJSailorC]

OOOOOH, Toughie Masura...
I like the idea of the slimmie box sets, like they've been doing for the rerelease of the geneon/pioneer stuff.  They'll probably have to vend it as seasons, sadly, and not as the series just because it's SO DARN LONG!

Personally, it's a case of the biggest fix for the cheapest price.  ^_^

I usually don't like 6 episode dvds. It compromises the quality IMHO. 4-5 is about right. Sailor Moon does need to be in season or storyline box sets (I'm thinking of the 'R' season which had 2 storylines). Individual DVDs would be pretty much out of the question for anything but the movies. The series is too old.

[Alitain]

Yeah, definitely with season box sets or reasonably priced half-season box sets.  Plus it seems that Funimation is pretty much only releasing anime this way for money issues I'm sure.  Which is okay, because really you're either saving money or not paying anymore than you would if you bought the separate dvds or 4-5 episodes a disc.

I still love dubbed anime, and very rarely have a problem with dubbed except Love Hina...voices just don't match.  So I'd prefer any release of Sailor Moon to be dubbed and also of course have original Japanese.  At least nowadays they wont be changing names and all, so that'll make things better.  Well here's hoping Funimation does go through with it eventually I only have season 1&2 and want to have the whole series, including SuperS(haven't seen that yet).

[nemisis47]

2 others I forgot was Luna and Artemis. How dumb of me lol. For Luna, Hillary Haag could fit Luna pretty well as long as they avoid the British accent. And Artemis was made for Sonny Strait (Krilllin in DBZ). And also for Jedite, Kyle Hebert.

I hope to all Sailor Moon collection of manga, anime, wall scrolls figures and more to come.
