Episode Plot: The last we saw of the girls, they had defeated the evil Nehelenia and life was starting to go back to normal... or so they thought.

Are the Sailor Scouts of the Outer Solar System strong enough to defeat such an evil?

I have to commend you for putting in effort to make this happen. The voice actors did a great job, and the editors clearly have technical skill. But honestly, this is a crime against Junichi Sato's work.

You've cut all traces of the relationship between Haruka and Michiru, including the section where Michiru removes the shard from Haruka's hand, Michiru joking about eating too many sweets, and Haruka's retort about not listening to that kind of talk out of bed. Are you homophobes?

Negacreeps? Negaverse? That doesn't even exist.

Urine-us? Ridiculous.

Sloppily adding dub music during dramatic moments of silence?

And why all the ridiculous transitions? They add no value. The original video is perfect.

Pluto isn't supposed to yell "dead scream".

All the emotion and dramatic pauses of the original has been sucked out and replaced with zingers and megalomaniacal slop. Prime examples are "And I thought breaking mirrors was supposed to be unlucky", and "we're going to need some serious power".

Basically you've taken everything wonderful about Sailormoon and destroyed it. If you want to save this train wreck, here are some things to focus on:

  • Translate the dialogue--your writers can't compare with those who worked on the original script, so don't take creative license. And translate ALL the dialogue--no leaving out any gay references.
  • Use the original music. Do not randomly add dub music.
    Silence is OK. You do not need to fill every second with noise or jibber-jabber.
  • Stop using those terrible transitions. You aren't producing for network TV - there are no commercial breaks.
  • Have your dub group watch the original episodes. They need to understand the emotions the original voice actors are trying to portray. The voice actors themselves did a good job with the scraps they've been given.

If you can do all the above, there's hope for the remainder of your project.

Junichi Sato did not direct Sailor Stars, it was actually Takuya Igarashi. :3

This is an adaptation voted by the fans. We are just doing what the majority wanted. We knew a few people wouldn't like it, but that's why there are subtitled versions of the series online for people to watch.

In saying that, a lot has changed in our later episodes. Translations are actually more accurate to the original (obviously changed to make sense to all viewers - not just those who are familiar with Japanese culture), and there are little to NO edits any more.

Most of the things we have done in the episodes were from fans voting via our forums or our facebook page. We usually take in everyone's opinions before making any choices, so we are really giving everyone a chance to have their say, and the majority decides.

The transitions were made because they were voted for. Same with the opening preview and Sailor Says segments. This also includes all the nostalgic slang etc. that the original English dub was famous for.

Our creative team and producers are trying to bring the series closer to the original if they see no point in changing something. The music choice though, was also a fan decision. Using both the Japanese and English music won the votes out of hundreds of people.

The voice actors get all the original footage from the Japanese version with just our subtitles for our script, so all emotion is still there for the voice actors to draw from, and we suggest to them to use at as inspiration for their lines.

Also, just because we removed a blood scene and a short clip about Haruka being "fat from eating sweets" doesn't mean we're removing the gay relationship that Haruka and Michiru share. We are not Cloverway, we are not making them cousins... we are just making the show more appropriate for the younger viewers we have watching (trust me, there are a lot).

In saying that, our first episode was many years ago, and we were just starting out in the fandub world, So please be patient with the development of our fan dub. The whole team are Sailor Moon fans... no one hated the anime when it wasn't anything like the manga...

Anyways thank you for watching and giving us your feedback. As I said before, it all gets taken on-board and will be implemented whenever or wherever possible, while keeping the majority happy.

Appalling. The voices are adequate, but the script is a disaster. It's not a translation; it's a massacre. "I'll just lie here and enjoy my radiant beauty." Who wrote that? Ugh!

omg this is amazing im legit about to burst into tears! lol seriously keep this up i cant wait for all the episodes to be done. THANK YOU!

I just want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! This is absolutely amazing and the voices are wonderful. This made my day and I'm so happy I could cry. Will you guys be making all the stars episodes?

Omg. This hit so much nostalgia I don't even know.

I'm loving it. :DD

wow that's great! thank you!!!

Let me just say that when I saw a "fandub" I came here to see what massacre and injustice would be done by over-excited moonies to the perfection that is season 5 (stars).

I was dead wrong. This was an impressive job! If you continue on with it, I doubt anyone would know that it's done by moonies and not a for-profit company. EXCELLENT JOB.

Really, I am just so happy with the entire product. The voice actors chosen I think are great. Please re-do Sailor Moon S. Serena and Ami's voice make my ears bleed.

If I must complain, it's that the intro gives WAY too many spoilers. I know that the series has always done that, though. So I respect you for trying to maintain it's original form. Just my two cents I guess.

Anyway, please let me know if there's any way I can help. You should have my email.

Hey! I didn't know if sailor mini moon really had a daughter or not in this series, does she?

No Reni does not have a child, if u r talking about chibi chibi moon, if u watch the last episodes she is the heart seed of galexia from way back when she was good, she let chibi chibi go to find someone to care for her cause galexia traped chaos in herself.

Yes in the anime but in the comics chibi chibi is Serena's futur self in diskise to change her past to stop chaos from be born as a sailor

if you read the last chapter of the comic you will find that chibi chib is sailor moons future self sailor cosmos.

Mini Moon does not have a daughter in the Anime series.

There is so much excitement and love bursting from my heart right now that I am unable to form competent sentences to express my supreme adoration!!!

All I know I can say is that it would be a VERY VERY BAD idea to continue with DiC's castration of Haruka and Michiru's (Amara and Michelle) relationship. Most of we Sailor Moon fans were FLOORED by the insinuation of the two being cousins. They are LOVERS and I can only pray you keep to the creators vision.

Please...

T.T
Their love was an inspiration and so beautifully imagined!

I LOVE YOU ALL FOR DOING THIS!!!!

All I can say is THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!! This is just to cool!!!! You guys are doing such a good job!!! I love the way you did the opening and the scene changes.

Keep up the good work.

hey i was just wondering if you were gonna make Michelle and Amara lovers or cousins like the American version?and isn't Pluto's attack supposed to be a whisper instead of shouting? this is just out of sheer curiosity:)and i love your work awesome job:)!!!!!

With Amara and Michelle, you will have to wait and see. Pluto yells her attack phrase in the films and series, so we decided to go with that. It only sounds good whispered in Japanese coz of their awesome syllables :P

Hey i loved your episodes. Watched them all on youtube!
(Did you remove them from there or something??)
You gyus are really doing a great job.

Hey! I want to get the theme music of saturn which is played in background when she awakens and deflects nehelenia's attack. Where can I get that?? Pls email the link if you dont want to tell to everyone.(Email: kalra.anuj1992@gmail.com).Want it really badly.

And come on man! upload the episodes. Wanna watch them again.

Uninstall limewire and install utorrent. Then the files will download to that. Episodes are also available on Megaupload. Links can be found via our forum.

You must have limewire set as your torrent downloader. Download utorrent and open the files in it :)

limewire is no longer working. So how will we be able to download the videos?
Could you guys use Megavideo or another host site??

is there anyone willing to seed the episodes for someone to download i'll be willing to upload them from my torrent downloader so others can download

I'll try to seed when I can. If you've joined to our forum, you can reuqest seeding from there.
