Be Warned!!
By Laura B. Mehaffey
Please do not buy this series, or any of the other version toting themselves as "Official copies".
This compilation is bootlegged, and completely illegal. As of March 16, 2012, you cannot buy new versions of the Sailor Moon anime legally anywhere in the United States. Toei animation still holds the license for it, and it is NOT selling copies in the United States.
Many reviewers have stated that Season 5 may or may not be a bootleg. I can promise you, IT IS A BOOTLEG. The fifth season of Sailor Moon anime has never, ever, EVER been released legally in the United States.
I have searched every single distributor of legal anime in the US, and none of them hold a license to distribute this show on DVD. Buying these bootleg copies does not give any money back to the industry we love, nor do any of the creators get credit for the purchase. With the popularity of the re-release of the manga series, we are bound to get a re-release eventually, and it certainly won't cost us $250!
PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS BOXSET!

Sailor Moon Complete Collection
By A R
If you are a true Sailor Moon fan, then I would definitely recommend the Sailor Moon Ultimate Uncut Collection, which includes 8 box sets containing the English dubbed episodes, original Japanese episodes, and all three movies. So far I've only gotten through seasons 1 & 2, but I feel my purchase was worth every penny. I've been looking for the entire series for a long, long time, and when I saw I could not only get the English dubbed version, but the original Japanese version, AND all three Sailor Moon movies in one set for only $250, I thought it was too good to be true. My expectations were definitely met far and beyond. The visual and audio quality is AWESOME. Just as I remembered it when I watched it as a little girl. The English dubbed version is exactly what it was when it aired back in the 90's. This is the first time that I've ever seen any of the original Japanese episodes, but I'm definitely glad I have them. It's very, very interesting to watch an English episode, and then pop in the Japanese version right after. The English version of Sailor Moon, I believe, is poorly scripted/cheesy a lot of the time (I still love it!), and I've noticed, and have read, that the Japanese version is much more adult and dark. I definitely agree with this and actually prefer the Japanese script compared to the English. Also, they have noticeably edited or completely removed certain episodes out of the English airings that weren't seen on U.S. cable. You can view the unedited and missing episodes when watching the Japanese version. These were obviously cut/edited because of either too much violence or sexual undertones. I don't think these episodes would be too inappropriate if they were aired on cable today, but I suppose back in the 90's television wasn't what it is today. One thing I do have to say that I'm not a big fan of with regards to the Japanese version is the music. Reminds me of bad 80's elevator music. I very much prefer the English soundtrack. The Japanese voices are also hard to get use to after growing up with the English voices (even if Sailor Moon's voice is just awful in Season 3 and 4, yuck!), but honestly the script is so good in the Japanese version you hardly even notice it and get wrapped up in the storyline. I haven't watched all of season 5 (which is strictly Japanese language with English subtitles), but as said in other reviews I've read, the visual quality is not as excellent as with the other seasons, but it is still very good. I've been lead to believe that this season may or may not be a bootleg because it was never aired in the U.S., but if it is a bootleg, it's a very good one. I'm glad I have this considering I've never been able to watch these episodes. All in all I am crazy happy with this set. So far I haven't had too many problems while watching them, except maybe a skip or two on what I've watched so far of Season 5. They have played great on my old TV, but as I've said, I've only watched the first two Seasons of the English dubbed, and a few episodes of the Japanese version. If you are a true Sailor Moon fan I definitely recommend this set or any set from the KGY-LLC/Animage seller. Also, if there is a problem with discs that are damaged or missing, supposedly this seller offers a warranty, which I received in my package.
Happy Sailor Mooning!

With the re-release of the Sailor Moon comics, I've been keeping an eye open for the TV series. That has been rather difficult, seeing as no one owns the rights in the U.S. One season alone goes for $200 dollars, most times even more than that. So when I saw this, I thought it was too good to be true. All five seasons, plus the three movies, for $250? AND you get the uncut Japanese version too? There had to be a catch.
No catch. This item is exactly what it's listed as. You get all four seasons of the English version and their Japanese counterparts (seasons 1 and 2 have two separate boxes, one for English, one for Japanese then the other seasons only come in one case, with the ability to switch between English and Japanese). What's super exciting is that you also get Season 5, which I had no idea existed until a bit ago. This season was never done in English, but it does come with subtitles. This is what I'm looking forward to the most, as I've never seen it. You also get all three movies.
A note: Season 1, 2, and 4 come in those twice-as-big DVD cases, while seasons 3 and 5 do not. Season 5 I can understand, since it's only in Japanese, but I thought it odd that season 3 comes in a regular DVD box, then it switches back to the big box for season 4.
Finally, something must be said about this seller's customer service. I ordered my set back at the end of January, and as soon as I got my tracking number, every day I would check it to see where it was. Something went wrong, however, and it never arrived at a UPS location. Concerned--it is a lot of money--I contacted the seller, expecting to hear back in a few days. I was contacted that very same day with an apology. They said they would call UPS to find out what happened, and if they had to, would ship a new one. Two days later (it had been over the weekend, so stuff was closed), I got an e-mail saying, "New order on it's way. Here's the tracking number. Delivery tomorrow!" And sure enough, I got it the next day. This seller spares no expense in making sure that their customers are satisfied.
If you are a fan of Sailor Moon, but, like me, never got a chance to own it because the rights were lost in the U.S. before you had a chance to buy it, then this is the way to go. The title "Sailor Moon: The Ultimate Uncut Collection" is well deserved. Pick it up.
