Out of all the censorship I have dealt with with Sailor Moon, gay erasure is what made my inner Sailor Senshi go berserk. I didn't care what social norms were in place during the time Sailor Moon was localized in English, I found gay erasure unforgivable. Sure they censored Sailor Moon just to blend in to young American audiences, I hated that the weird content got censored because I didn't find any of the content in the Japanese version too violent or adult for kids. Whoever thought that video games and anime were too violent for kids had a dumb mindset. They didn't cause the problem. Their mindset just wasn't in the right place. Don't get me wrong, the 90s and early 2000s were great time, it's just that I hated that the censors had their own way. Social norms be dammed!

I do have to agree with your number 1 on here. Mostly because they made them cousins to supposedly to cover up their romantic relationship. However, they still included the romantic music between them, the romantic way they look at each other, so they instead just added a whole another level of keeping it in the family on top of the romance they tried to cover up. Truly an epic fail on their part. 😂🤣

The episode where Haruka was introduced was all about the misunderstanding that Makoto and Usagi thought she was a handsome man, and later it came out she was a woman. So yeah, they definitely didn't change her gender in the German version. And they also didn't change much about the Haruka-Michiru relationship either. They did change Zoisite's gender to female though. (female voice actress and all) Usagi's name change to "Bunny" was OK I guess, as it was supposed to make German viewers understand her affiliation with bunnies/the Moon better I guess. The German version was also slightly censored (some violence for example), which is why the current BluRay releases actually sometimes have a few seconds of subtitled parts in some episodes of the GER dub version added, as the GER dub is based on that slightly censored version. (As some others say, some of the dialogue was still dubbed at the time, with cut scenes added in for later TV releases, but a small amount wasn't. Really not much though.) All in all I think the German version was done quite well. And I kind of really like the first German OP haha (the others not so much though).

Honestly, DIC (the company that dubbed Sailor Moon) had the colloquial term of “DIC-heads” from the fans because of the alterations that they did. And I agree with that number one. Calling them “cousins” and not taking out a lot of the lesbian undertones for Haruka and Michiru was the stupidest thing they did. Runner up was them changing Usagi’s voice actress. She went from sounding like a teenager to sounding like a 40 year old. But then, they seemed to have a lot of issues keeping voice actors and actresses on to dub that show. If memory serves me correct, they went through 3 different voice actors for Mamoru and Artemis was another one that had different voice actors as well. Not really surprising that DIC tanked. Just glad that we got the reboot of the original series with nothing altered.

From *Nangbaby* 4 years ago before Viz censored free speech. They don‘t want to take advantage of it because they want to put their OWN stamp on Sailor Moon and pretend the old one never existed. For all the crying from the purists about how 'DiC' “changed“ Sailor Moon from what it was, Viz wants to do ~ and has successfully done the same. Their (and possibly TOEi‘s and almost certainly PNP's) thinking is that because those who love the original version are the “active“ fandom, that this crowd will invest more money into the product and Viz would get a better return, while those who loved the old dub will try the new dub and like it, since they didn‘t care enough for the old dub to carry a torch for it the way original version fans did for the original version. So they trick the “devoted” fans into buying their product and can get away with an average or less job with it, because this crowd will buy anything with "Sailor Moon" on it. (cough cough Crystal) Putting out the old dub would show that even a 20-year old production (which Sailor Moon is) can do better than a 2010s production and possibly depress profits for both. VIZ has to make the money back it shelled out for the license itself and to Studiopolis to dub 200 episodes, so it's putting all the eggs in the "new dub" basket. Never mind the fact that according to that same crowd that supposedly loved a new dub, what they prefer most of all IS the original and they could have done gangbusters with a sub only release from this crowd and got a lot of money. Never mind that by releasing a new dub, Viz effectively shut out the Canadian streaming market because their new dub does not have enough Canadian content to qualify* (whereas the old dub did). Never mind that if they had released the old dub first (and botched it...even fans of the original version are saying Viz's release is subpar), dubbed Crystal, then finally dubbed the original series again they would have had a revenue stream with less risk as the fans who waited for a new dub would still be waiting. Never mind that by doing it like this, this actively turned off the old dub fans, since now we know there will never be a release of the old dub. We aren‘t going to support the new one. Even if they were to change their mind, I can‘t see supporting a company that fundamentally erased the memory of Sailor Moon in North America to push its new one. Viz wants your money on their terms. Even if they are hamstrung by PNP and even if the material for the old dub is not available, they want a new dub to get your nostaglia money to have you remembering a product that didnt exist. It‘s reVlZlonism.

It's just astounding that U.S. censors got in the way in what made Sailor Moon a riveting magical girl anime by resorting to changing character dynamics regarding LGBTQ+ representation, especially the coupling of Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus. Still, there were still moments I enjoyed from the English version. I'd be more than happy to watch the original Japanese, tho. 😊

I was lucky that I grew up with the German version. The first time they aired the season 1 finale it was censored too but at least they were smart enough to dub everything anyway without any censorship so the video files with the VA audio were available in their untouched form for later airings on other tv stations. What was funny though was that they gave fish eye a female voice actor but they kept the line where one side character said "I know you are actually a man" and then the female voice actors suddenly talks all deep. A lot of people in Germany argue now that this was a case of censorship but I think they just did crappy work and assumed fish eye was female because his japanese VA sounded pretty feminine from what I hear here in the video. Worst censorship IMO of the English version was changing the OST. The DiC music on its own is ok/good but again I am so glad I got to experience the series for the first time with its original music.

I think the German version left a lot of the LGB stuff in. I remember Haruka being mistaken for a guy at first until Michiru confirms she was a girl. Even their love for one another wasn't overshadowed or changed. Same with the Sailor Stars, they were male in civilian form to hide from the forces of Whatshername, but turned into women once transformed. Fighter even asks Usagi if she was okay of her being a girl and having feelings for her, to which Usagi responds she's totally okay with it. Even the blood and such were kept in, so I believe Germany used the original Japanese of it. They only changed Usagi's name to Bunny to make it easier lol

The fact that some dubs just cut the Amazon Trio entirely surprises me, cause they're kinda plot relevant aren't they? I'd understand if they did that for Crystal (since the Trio are much less prominent characters in the manga) but not for the original series. Also the "cousin" thing with Haruka & Michiru was just weird. They didn't even really censor their scenes together either as I recall, making them seem unusually intimate for "cousins." (Also they inadvertantly made it incest by doing that, so they just made things worse). And the drunk Usagi thing. The scene from Edward's ball is just so much funnier in the original when she's drunk and spouting random English, and Ami is like "Oh no she's drunk" and Mamoru looks super embarassed. Getting a sugar high from punch just doesn't work there.

It's very unlikely they would have cut the Amazon Trio when they made Sailor Moon Eternal considering it's (indirectly)thanks to them that Sailor Mercury, Mars and Jupiter got their Sailor Crystals, unless they would have changed the way said girls got their Sailor Crystals. You're right about the censorship, maybe it would have been better if they have just dubbed the third season of the first Sailor Moon anime properly(and without being rushed) and that's it(since the rights were expiring), but Cartoon Network wanted whatever Sailor Moon stuff left(series, movies, etc) dubbed as soon as possible, which even though they dubbed 2 seasons and 2 movies, their quality was poor due to being rushed.

You, as purists, not fans. From *Nangbaby* 4 years ago before Viz censored free speech. They don‘t want to take advantage of it because they want to put their OWN stamp on Sailor Moon and pretend the old one never existed. For all the crying from the purists about how 'DiC' “changed“ Sailor Moon from what it was, Viz wants to do ~ and has successfully done the same. Their (and possibly TOEi‘s and almost certainly PNP's) thinking is that because those who love the original version are the “active“ fandom, that this crowd will invest more money into the product and Viz would get a better return, while those who loved the old dub will try the new dub and like it, since they didn‘t care enough for the old dub to carry a torch for it the way original version fans did for the original version. So they trick the “devoted” fans into buying their product and can get away with an average or less job with it, because this crowd will buy anything with "Sailor Moon" on it. (cough cough Crystal) Putting out the old dub would show that even a 20-year old production (which Sailor Moon is) can do better than a 2010s production and possibly depress profits for both. VIZ has to make the money back it shelled out for the license itself and to Studiopolis to dub 200 episodes, so it's putting all the eggs in the "new dub" basket. Never mind the fact that according to that same crowd that supposedly loved a new dub, what they prefer most of all IS the original and they could have done gangbusters with a sub only release from this crowd and got a lot of money. Never mind that by releasing a new dub, Viz effectively shut out the Canadian streaming market because their new dub does not have enough Canadian content to qualify* (whereas the old dub did). Never mind that if they had released the old dub first (and botched it...even fans of the original version are saying Viz's release is subpar), dubbed Crystal, then finally dubbed the original series again they would have had a revenue stream with less risk as the fans who waited for a new dub would still be waiting. Never mind that by doing it like this, this actively turned off the old dub fans, since now we know there will never be a release of the old dub. We aren‘t going to support the new one. Even if they were to change their mind, I can‘t see supporting a company that fundamentally erased the memory of Sailor Moon in North America to push its new one. Viz wants your money on their terms. Even if they are hamstrung by PNP and even if the material for the old dub is not available, they want a new dub to get your nostaglia money to have you remembering a product that didnt exist. It‘s reVlZlonism.

@@RecoveringChristian yeah, that’s all well and good, except for the fact that the original dub almost *completely* tarnishes the integrity and vision of the original show. The DiC dub spits in the face of the original author of the manga. At least Viz Media actually dubbed it thoroughly, and didn’t completely censor, rewrite and cut out entire episodes (which btw, was all done without the consultation or approval of Ms. Takeuchi). Like, it’s surprising to see the sheer amount of people defending the old dub simply because that’s the version they grew up with… why is it that DiC gets a pass for basically re-editing almost half of Sailor Moon, but when Sony Pictures Entertainment did the same thing to Rurouni Kenshin, even to the point of changing the name of the show, everyone, to this day unanimously agrees that their portrayal of RK was egregiously handled? And as for the Viz version being subpar, that’s entirely subjective. Just because they didn’t use the same actors or soundtrack for the new dub, doesn’t automatically make it subpar, it’s really only a matter of personal preference. And DiC should’ve renewed their licensing agreement with Toei if they wanted their version to still remain in the public, and not simply let it expire and free for anyone else to pick up. That’s their own fault for not catering to their Canadian audience and letting their home releases become discontinued. Honestly, I’d rather have Viz take hold of the Sailor Moon license than Funimation, cause for all that you said about Viz, Funi would *for sure* treat Sailor Moon so, so, _so_ much worse… (Oh, and P.S. please do your own research before making any sort of purchase, especially when it comes to decades-old licenses. That burden shouldn’t fall on the company. Old fans complaining about not getting the old dub is like an old fan of Spyro getting mad because they bought the remake instead of the original one they played as a child. Be smarter with your money before buying any sort of home media).

Ive always liked the way they removed body lines. The original looks like their physical forms are nude, whereas with just the silhouettes it feels like that outline and the colours are a representation of their souls more than their physical bodies. They definitely didnt plan that, it just happened to alter the implied meaning to something better

In the Latin American version dubbed in Mexico, "Zyocite" was female. So was Fish Eye apparently, though there is an episode where the other guys in the Amazon Trio said they thought they were all men. In that episode it seems like he was a male and the voice actress spoke with a deeper voice. Haruka and Michiru were still lovers, but curiously Haruka spoke with a feminine voice when transformed into Sailor Uranus. It was still the same voice actress, she just dropped the deep voice. (When I was a kid I personally interpreted this as Haruka and Michiru pretending to be a male and female couple to hide their soldier identities while they were actually just comrades in arms. But that was all in my own head.) Romantic lines were sometimes toned down, though. For example, Haruka saying "I only listen to that kind of talk in bed" was changed to "I only hear to that kind of talk when you're speaking nonsense". The Starlights were kept as males that transformed into females, and in fact, the Three Lights were played by male voice actors, while the Sailor Starlights had female voice actresses. Their voice transformed with their bodies. Some things were censored. Notably the Messiah and the Holy Grail were named the "Envoy of Good" and "Moon Cup". Most of Latin America is Catholic, so the Messiah isn't an exotic, foreign concept to us. Maybe the people in charge of the dub didn't want to commit sacrilege. Video wasn't edited. DiC names were used for the main characters: Serena, Amy, Darien, Molly. Not so for minor characters. Since DiC did not dub beyond Sailor Moon R and the Cloverway dub didn't exist yet, characters introduced in later seasons kept their Japanese names, notably Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna and Hotaru. Sailor Pluto was named "Sailor Plut" for some reason. As if the "o" was just an epentetic vowel added in Japanese. The movies were dubbed, but the specials (the Sailor Moon R recap, the SuperS specials and Ami's First Love) were not. The voice director and Sailor Moon's voice actress, Patricia Acevedo, said in an interview that the owners of the rights did not send them the specials to be dubbed.

DIC was forced to cut episodes to make the 65 episodes syndicated for the network to land on a somewhat happy ending (non cliffhanger). So, episodes that they felt weren't integral of the main plot (or too risky) had to be cut, sadly. There was a lot within certain episodes that were cut (not all though), sometimes whole scenes, which was a shame. But yes, nudity and characters being cut or stabbed were the huge no-no from the network to allow them to air the series in this children friendly time slot. :(

One instance of censorship lead to the creation of Sailor Jupiter's "talent" joke within the American anime community. In the original version, when the Inner Senshi were arguing over who gets to play Snow White, Makoto states that she is the obvious choice since she has the (ahem) - best figure (ahem). In the US release it was changed to having the "most (acting) talent". Yet the animation still had Makoto pointing to her chest whilst making a squishing sound. So fans knew exactly what she meant and "talent" has since become a bit of an insider joke taking on a whole different meaning.

I was 12 or 13 years old when I first saw the show. And I remember the yuri (heck, I had no idea such a word even exists, because, you know, no widely spread Internet yet) aspect of Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus completely flying over my head every single time, because I always thought of them being very good friends who treat each other like sisters and there is nothing wrong in giving a hug and a kiss on a cheek to family member whom you love and cherish.

Youngsters today got it good. Us old-timers had to settle for the heavily re-edited, censored, rewritten stuff when it came to English language anime. And even then we only got to see a fraction of the stuff available to viewers today. Really think I was born decades too early. BTW, I did notice even back then that Zoisite seemed a little flat in the chest area for a "woman".

"And they were cousins..." lol also, i think the reasons for Zoisite and Kunzite's name change to Zoycite and Malachite was mainly due to dubbing issues, needing to create extra syllables to make the dialogue match up correctly. i expected the first season finale to be here, which is a shame because it's so much better than what we got; it made the stakes even higher knowing that the scouts might not make it. Studios really underestimate what kids can handle. idk why Venus' origin was removed which is also a shame as it could have giving fans a Sailor V anime.

The funny thing what in Russia there were more creative ways to censore some scences. Zoisite & Kunzite were represented in a dad-son relationship. It was kinda crazy and weird in that way cause u all know how they were acted bw each other, all their eye contacts, all their touches and so much other things. It feels double weird in dad-son relationship in that case Neptune and Uranus were also weird and funny to see. Cause in our contry they made Uranus as a man but also as a woman in cases where they feels it's suppose to be for some reason (the reasons "Why Sailor's friends shouldnt fells in luv with Uranus? - cause IT'S A WOMAN, U KNOW, A WOMAN). And in scences where Usagi's friends telling what Uranus is kinda beautiful, kinda good to be with, Usagi always tells what they should forget about Uranus cause she's a woman(!) But at the same time she's a man with Neptune cause u know they are a couple🤫 And the funniest thing is what her voice was female in season 2 (it's so fun to see her as a "man"), she was with a female voice in other seasons (but she spoke of herself as a male character with a female voice. This was funny) and in season 5 she finally became a man with a male voice, roughly speaking "came to perfect censorship"

From *Nangbaby* 4 years ago before Viz censored free speech. They don‘t want to take advantage of it because they want to put their OWN stamp on Sailor Moon and pretend the old one never existed. For all the crying from the purists about how 'DiC' “changed“ Sailor Moon from what it was, Viz wants to do ~ and has successfully done the same. Their (and possibly TOEi‘s and almost certainly PNP's) thinking is that because those who love the original version are the “active“ fandom, that this crowd will invest more money into the product and Viz would get a better return, while those who loved the old dub will try the new dub and like it, since they didn‘t care enough for the old dub to carry a torch for it the way original version fans did for the original version. So they trick the “devoted” fans into buying their product and can get away with an average or less job with it, because this crowd will buy anything with "Sailor Moon" on it. (cough cough Crystal) Putting out the old dub would show that even a 20-year old production (which Sailor Moon is) can do better than a 2010s production and possibly depress profits for both. VIZ has to make the money back it shelled out for the license itself and to Studiopolis to dub 200 episodes, so it's putting all the eggs in the "new dub" basket. Never mind the fact that according to that same crowd that supposedly loved a new dub, what they prefer most of all IS the original and they could have done gangbusters with a sub only release from this crowd and got a lot of money. Never mind that by releasing a new dub, Viz effectively shut out the Canadian streaming market because their new dub does not have enough Canadian content to qualify* (whereas the old dub did). Never mind that if they had released the old dub first (and botched it...even fans of the original version are saying Viz's release is subpar), dubbed Crystal, then finally dubbed the original series again they would have had a revenue stream with less risk as the fans who waited for a new dub would still be waiting. Never mind that by doing it like this, this actively turned off the old dub fans, since now we know there will never be a release of the old dub. We aren‘t going to support the new one. Even if they were to change their mind, I can‘t see supporting a company that fundamentally erased the memory of Sailor Moon in North America to push its new one. Viz wants your money on their terms. Even if they are hamstrung by PNP and even if the material for the old dub is not available, they want a new dub to get your nostaglia money to have you remembering a product that didnt exist. It‘s reVlZlonism.

Sailor Moon was my first Japanese anime series that I watched. I fell in love with it from watching it. My half-sister was visiting us for a month in summer. She had brought up a few of her VHS and one of them was Sailor Moon. She put it in and I sat with her. I watched a few episodes of it and I was hooked on it. If it wasn’t for Sailor Moon I probably wouldn’t have gotten into Japanese anime. Now I have a quite collection of Sailor Moon. I always go back to my favorite anime series which is Sailor Moon. Also despite what everyone says about the Dic dub. The music from the Dic dub was way better than the original music.
