VHS Movie Reviews of Sailor Moon - The Legend Begins (TV Show, Vol. 1)

Movie Review: sailor moon a classic anime
Summary: 5 Stars

this is the first dvd for the dub of sailor moon. sailor moon is a classic anime, many people may not like it but it did introduce tons of anime fans too anime. sailor moon was my first anime.
the episodes included in the dvd are:

-A moon star is born
this shows how serena (usagi) meets luna, and becomes sailor moon

-talk radio
everyone is tooneing in to a radio show that reads love letters, just to give the writers of the love letters a flower that drains there energy

-slim city
serena(usagi) joins a health club that is free to try and lose weight, just to find out that it a front for the negaverse

-so you want to be a superstar
every one become excited to join a talent show that will make them into superstars, but again it is just the negaverse trying to steal everyones energy.

-computer school blues
ami is introduced in this episode so we finnaly get to see sailor mercury

-time bomb
a clock store is selling clocks that speed up time and makes people exert energy from the strees so the negaverse can steal there energy. i really liked this epesode becuase ami and luna figure out something is wrong becuase serena (usagi) was on time for school.

all in all this is a good dvd and is fun too watch. i personaly do not mind the dub becuase this is how i was introduced to sailor moon and it remineds me of old times. if you hate the dub you can always just but the japanese version with sub only. i have that one too and i love it just as much.

Summary of Sailor Moon - The Legend Begins (TV Show, Vol. 1)

High-pitched, relentlessly fast paced, and filmed in eye-gouging gumball colors, this video series combines two previously released dubbed episodes from the Japanese animated series, along with a couple of new ones. The adventures of a group of schoolgirl superheroes, Sailor Moon is a lighthearted kiddy variation on a ubiquitous Japanese subgenre, stories of alienated adolescents granted paranormal powers and enlisted on the side of virtue in apocalyptic struggles across space and time. Imported to the U.S. in an attempt to create a post-Power Rangers franchise for girls, the show never became a mainstream megahit in the states, although it still has passionate fans (thanks to airings on the Cartoon Network). The chirpy, giggly tone may be off-putting, but the level of visual imagination (and the self-sufficient courage of the young heroines) can be exhilarating, especially when kids and parents watch together. This first volume kicks off with the "secret origin" episode, "A Moon Star Is Born," in which Tokyo middle-school student Serena is transformed into the title character by the occult power of a mysterious locket. She acquires a cute sidekick (a talking cat named Luna), and in the three succeeding episodes she begins to assemble her support team of spunky Sailor Scouts, with names like Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus. In the second episode, "Talk Radio," a phantom radio program is somehow connected with the door-to-door delivery of flowers whose fumes put people to sleep. Also includes the episodes "Slim City" and "So You Want to Be a Superstar," with a total running time of 90 minutes. These edited shows are appropriate for fans age 5 to 12. --David Chute
