High-pitched, relentlessly fast-paced, and filmed in eye-gouging, gumball color, this video series collects dubbed episodes of the Japanese animated series about a group of schoolgirl superheroes. In Japan, it's a lighthearted kiddy variation on a popular sub-genre--stories of alienated, but supernaturally gifted adolescents granted paranormal powers and enlisted in apocalyptic struggles between the dimensions. Imported to the United States in an attempt to create a Power Rangers-style mega-hit for girls, Sailor Moon hasn't become a mainstream phenomenon on that scale, although it has passionate, even obsessive fans, many of whom are much older than the intended demographic. (A Sailor Moon Web search can be a truly surreal experience.) The chirpy, giggly tone may be off-putting for some, but the level of visual imagination (and the self-sufficient courage of the young heroines) is exhilarating, especially when kids and parents watch together. This is this fifth volume in the video series: Serena, as Sailor Moon, has by now enlisted the support of a high-powered troop of Sailor Scouts--Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, et al. In the first of these two episodes, "A Crystal Clear Destiny," secret identities have to be revealed in a crisis, always a sticky wicket for a superheroine. In "A Relunctant Princess," Serena's moon force gets a power boost. (Running time: 44 minutes) --David Chute

 Memories of my favorite anime ever December 20, 2003
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon brings back so many memories. When I was very young and Sailor Moon first came out, I found it by fate by flipping the channels. Back then no one else watched it and it was on at 6:00 in the morning. Many years later I reunited with it and then I ordered the Japanese episodes fansubbed. The Japanese episodes were amazing. Back then their was no official distributer, so I ordered from a fansubbed distributer. The Japanese version was so different from the American version. It was completely different. I love both versions though. The English version brings back memories from my childhood while the Japanese version is uncut. It's fun comparing the episodes and seeing how much was changed. This version, however, is the edited and changed. It cuts out many scenes and makes a lot of changes. While it has changed a lot from the original Japanese version, it's great for a trip down memory lane, and brings back my childhood memories. This volume has very important episodes. This volume has many romantic moments and Serena and Darien and Usagi and Mamoru are my favorite couple ever. Many exciting events happen, and this volume is very important. It brings back memories from your childhood. The Japanese version is my favorite. I love Tuxedo Kamen.
WOW! These episodes are great?! July 26, 2001

I am very surprised to think I found these episodes very cool! Usually I am totally against revised additions but these two episodes have the perfect ingredients for a controversial but light-hearted storyline and excellent character development. Features two fast-paced episodes: Crystal Clear Destiny: Absolutely awesome episode! I love the thought of two people who practically hate eachother finding out their destinies are intertwined and learning of their romantic past! In this episode, Serena (Usagi) and Darien (Mamoru) find out they are destined to be King and Queen of the Moon and that their past shows they were always meant to be together. Very cool! A Reluctant Princess: Not anywhere as good as "Crystal Clear Destiny" but still a winner in my book. Serena (Usagi) has trouble with her destiny to be Neo- Queen Serenity and turns increasingly overwhelmed on the other Senshis. Tough choices have to be made, but in the end, she finds that being a princess may not be so bad after all! Would highly recommend these episodes!
Very Awesome!! May 17, 2001

I don't usually buy the dubbed Sailor Moon, but this is definately an exeption!! This was the Sailor Moon that I first started watching (Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon R). This tape has my fave episode out of the whole series : Secret Identities!! Usagi and Mamoru(Serena and Darien) finally find out eachothers true identities, and remember their pasts!! It is SOOOO touching.... then there's another surprise!! If you are a big SM fan, than you must own this tape!! Hope this was helpful!!

I like these episodes, they are probably the best dubbed episodes I've seen, but I don't like the dubbing. Zoisite's death is much better in the original, for an example....
