I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Let's review, Sailor Moon is an older anime, it is one of the first to gain worldwide fame along with the likes of "Dragonball" and "Dragonball Z". Unlike those two, it was a show meant for girls but somehow managed to attract a male audience also. I suppose it has nothing to do with the super heroine attire, fact they function as a team, and otherwise are out and about in a typical plot of the day episode. Actually it does; but the series also spawned a few movies.One of them goes by the name of "Sailor Moon R" after the series that was running at the time. This movie features an alien that resembles Ail and Ann of the short mini-arc that ran during the first ten episodes of Sailor Moon R. He somehow drifts in space for eons, before landing on Earth and befriending a boy in the hospital that has lost his parents. Touching to say the least. He leaves for space due to life force differences (he can't live here), and otherwise wants to find the perfect flower for the young boy. He later returns and events as we know them have progressed.The boy is Tuxedo Kamen; he is actually prince of the Earth and he has a love affair with the reincarnated princess of the Moon from nearly a millenia ago. The alien reappears, learns of this and all disaster breaks free. He is seemingly possessed by a plant and is hellbent on sucking all of the planet's life force dry. This is nothing new here as far as Sailor Moon is concerned, but the fact the plot of the movie focuses so heavily on friendship and what it entails, is definitely new to the series. The rest of the movie is spent between characters either fighting, acts of jealousy or testing bonds of their friendship.There is a happy ending, and it plays out similar to the first part of Sailor Moon R. It makes me wonder if they were not just rewriting it for a movie or if the movie itself was rewritten into that series for syndication. Either way, the movie has better writing than the series normally does and is a good view for fans of the series. Casual anime viewers may appreciate the shoujou genre and art that this series is known; all make it into the movie.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=6218).

The English Version is a good bit different than the Japanese version. The final song in the English version, during the fight to save the scouts is called "Power of Love" in the English Version. Sung by Jennifer Cihi, the voice of Sailor Moon. Its for once a good song. The Japanese version song would take some getting adjusting to.I prefer the Japanese Fiore Voice, and There's some definite cleavage in this one....Nice metorite thing...whatever it is.And Definitely watch the anime through on the original Japanese soundtrack.Rini still had that Luna kitty ball *random thought of the moment*

ahhh, subtitled, uncut sailor moon. where would i be without it? the crap shown on cartoon network can kiss my ass for all i care. anyway, this was the very first subtitled sailor moon i ever saw. i loved it, let me tell you. it was a welcome change from the annoying dubbed and influenced me to begin collecting subtitled anime. ah, two years ago it was, at the anime convention. memories. lol. anyway, the story is very good, revealing a little more of mamoru's past, and the romance and action are very extreme. i have to admit, i almost cried at the end of this one, but things always turn out ok in sailor moon, 90% of the time. heh. anyway, see this if you like romance.

In my opinion, this is the best of the three Sailor Moon movies. However, if you're a true Sailor Moon otaku then watch the Japanese version with subtitles. The English dub is filled with mistakes in attack names, translation errors to protect America's "sensitive children", the bad American voice actors, and the list goes on. They also replaced the movie's trademark song "Moon Revenge" with a cheesy, watered down teeny bopper song called "The Power of Love."Overall, the uncut movie has an engrossing plot that shows how Sailor Moon has matured both as a character and a phenomenon from the first season. The film has something for everyone in it: romance, drama, comedy, and hooks for both young and old anime fans alike. The music is infectiously catching, and they actually pulled off making ChibiUsa likeable.If you want a good Sailor Moon movie that will keep you hooked then go for this one. Rent it, buy it...just make sure you watch it!
