HUGE WEEK IN SAILOR MOON NEWS! Toei has started celebrating Sailor Moon's 20th Anniversary and has announced brand new season DVD box sets for every season of the Sailor Moon anime! You can read more about this huge event in my original news post but if you just want to cut right to it and pre-order your limited edition box sets you can get the first box here and the second box here. Amazon.co.jp is offering a huge 26% OFF for pre-orders on these boxes so they're well worth a look. Personally I pre-ordered mine yesterday from them.
Something else that's got me hyped is this preview of the Sailor Stars fan dub! It's a perfect example of why I think the DiC music cues work better (as much as I love the Japanese music). Can't wait for this fourth episode.
It's Friday again so that means Moon Sticks has a new strip online! This week features two of my favourite characters Alan and Anne (Ail and Anne)!
I was surfing around YouTube and found this fantastic clip someone made that mixes the voices from the English version of Sailor Moon S but adds the DiC music cues from the first two seasons and OMG it works really well! Again I love the Japanese music but the DiC music just makes it seem so much more exciting! Someone who commented on the video made an interesting point that thet DiC music cue works with the English voice actors and the Japanese music cues work better with the Japanese VAs. What do you think?
And speaking of fan edits! Check out this new preview for a fan project that mixes existing anime footage extremely well to make a brand new storyline! Looks very promising!
That's about it for the Roundup this week! Because Sailor Moon news in general is heating up though I will be posting any news as it's released, ASAP so you might get posts mid week, etc that are of huge importance!
If you haven't already I highly recommend subscribing to the site feed or following me on Twitter to get the latest Sailor Moon news as it's released.
They list their shipping rates here: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=1039606
Looks like 1700 yen for shipping to US and 300 yen handling. Even with those fees though with their 26% off you're still saving money!
They're really good because they don't charge you until they ship. So you can have zero cash on your card now but as long as you have money to use around Dec 11th you'll be fine.
When you go to Amazon.jp there's a link in the top right corner on some pages saying "In English". Clicking on that should give you more info.
Oh man, I just watched the preview for the folks who are doing the stars in english.... I think my ears are bleeding. This is why I hope to never see stars ruined by America(inless they do it uncut with original names, music, dialogue, etc) Why must more people ruin BSSM?
Sorry if this sounded harsh xD.
"I'm gonna kick that queens butt!" .....WHAT??? No.
and the second box here
