Re: PoThings the original Dub got right
My issue is that 1) Usagi didn't have body lines in her transformations, so why should the others? It's a stylistic inconsistency. And 2) Do we really need to see these FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRLS' buttcracks and cleavage while they transform? No. It's unnecessary fan service. It has nothing to do with shame~ or whatever; it has to do with sexualizing girls for the sake of sexualizing girls, and I don't think that's okay. Note how Crystal has completely avoided such things.

Re: PoThings the original Dub got right
I honestly don't see what the issue is StarHealerTornado if we can see teenagers in bikinis and skimpy clothes then this should be no problem. Besides 14 years old is legal in Japan in a certain degree. There is nothing wrong with showing the characters in a sexy light and besides you don't get to see anything on them that you wouldn't see on a Barbie doll.

No doubt in the case of the names, them keeping names isn't a big deal to me like it is to some. I agree with you in regards to the body lines. Moon Tiara Magic and Crescent Moon Wand were perfect name translations or adaptations. Didn't like the name of Moon Scepter/Sceptre though. I enjoyed all of the voice cast. Quote:

Re: Things the original Dub got right
Japan is a different culture. They dont censor their kids shows the same way. But the nudity wasnt put in their for perverted reasons. Dont blame the dub for censoring that though. Would never work on our kid vid. And really doesnt make or break the show.
I will always have a soft spot for the DIC dub. I loved the battle songs and the background music. The VAs were great and will be tough for Viz to top. I do like the Japanese Music cues too. Especially the individual transformation and the attacks. |

Re: Things the original Dub got right
All of this. Though the Japanese score is technically rather magnificent and impressive, won every major Japanese award that it could win, and stands up quite well on its own, the DiC songs and score really gave the imagery in the series more power, emotional resonance, and just generally had a better flow. Especially during the Dark Moon Clan/Family arc.
That being said I could never imagine Sailor Moon S or SuperS with the DiC score. Nor do I think it worked as well when applied to the films on their VHS edits. It would be glorious if Viz kept the "I still pity you" line though. p.s. Katie Griffin IS Sailor Mars. |
