Description
Collect all three Sailor Moon movies (Sailor Moon R, Sailor Moon S and Sailor Moon Super S) packaged in a special box set. All DVDs are uncut and bilingual. Amazon.com
As the Sailor Moon TV episodes tend to be repetitive, the sustained stories in the features allow the artists to explore the familiar characters in a little more depth. In all three films, Serena and her friends Amy, Raye, Lita, and Mina (Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako in Japanese), aided by Darren (Mamoru), fight off aliens bent on destroying the world. In the R movie (1993), the villain is Fiore, who is held in thrall by the sinister Kisenian Flower. In the S movie (1994), Kaguya wants to encase the Earth in ice; Badiyanu kidnaps children and uses their “dream energy” to create a planet-engulfing black hole in Super S (1995). The two later films include “Outer Scouts” Michiru, Haruka, and Setsuna, a.k.a. Sailors Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto. R enjoys the best reputation among fans and has the most interesting story. Fiore treats Serena as a rival for Darren’s affections, and the subtitles suggest the attachment is quite passionate; the dubbed version sounds tamer. A weird subplot in which Luna the cat falls in love with the kindhearted astronomer Kakeru throws the S movie out of kilter. Super S offers imaginative visuals, including elaborate CG effects and brightly colored backgrounds. All three films provide the broad humor, budding adolescent romance, magic, and affirmations of the power of friendship that Sailor Moon fans expect. Suggested 13 Up: Violence, brief nudity. The VHS editions are edited and are suitable for age 6 and up. –Charles Solomon

This Box Set is what but what is the difference between this one and the new one that was just released on 1/6/2004?
Hi Usagi-Chan I like your review and was just wanting to know if the season1 and 2 boxsets are in English or just Japanese and if they are only in Japanese are they worth the money for someone who only understands English and Does not want Subtitles.

These movies are some of the BEST anime movies, ever! Now, if you’re new to the Sailor Moon series do *not* watch Sailor Moon R! That can get very confusing! But the others aren’t as confusing. Make sure you know about the shows *before* you watch these movies. I personally like SMR better, then SMS, then SMSS. But all are great in their own, special way. Do not regret this order, BUY BUY BUY! I preordered this set, by the way, I feel like I spend 65 bucks for a good cause. Notice this, if you buy them seperately I’ll cost about 70-75 maybe even 80 bucks! Now, it’ll be cheaper just to buy this nifty box set. Just, please, help Sailor Moon out, it’s the best anime series you’ll ever find.

I must say i am a little ocd about Sailor moon but I thought I would save some money and get all three at once. DON’T DO IT! The closing is cut short, credits are missing and the art work sucks. Buy them this way only if you are not a die hard fan. Or if you’re poor. If this is for someone new to Sailor moon or you just want something to show the kids then ya I’m all over that idea! Get it. Everyone that says watch it subtitled to see the real version is right. Words are changed but not as bad as the episodes. You do get an english option if you want. ah lets see the set includes ‘hearts on ice, sailor moon s’ the three outer planet sailor scouts fight with the regular girls on this one and luna has a love interest (not artemis). An evil ice witch tries to rule the planet and so the fight is on.
Promise of the rose, Sailor moon r involves an old friend of tuxedo mask’s who wants to renew their friendship/relationship? Something kinky is going on there! this ‘friend’ goes crazy and wants to take out the sailor scouts and have tuxedo mask all to himself. Gives you knew insight on the whole rose thing though. And the battle begins!
Black dream hole, Sailer moon super s is mostly about mini moon and is a good one for the kiddies. Once again an evil entity wants to control earth and the scouts must defend the earth and it’s children.
