Watching the series again, it still has very good animation.

Sailor Moon revolutionized pop culture and anime.

It's a really great series. I've watched it, and I like it a lot. What have been the best moments and arcs of the series?

Do you think the Sailor Moon SuperS arc is the best one in the anime, or was it overrated?

The best

I assume you're not a dude

 

[ShirAhava]

Minako-Chan truly is the best

Wish we would have had a Sailor V anime back then (V is the original manga Moon is the spin off)

Fan made opening

that show aired in Germany during the era where they gave every anime a techno opening in the German dub for some reason

but hey... it seemed to have worked given it was pretty popular

Logic fail.

Is this the show you're talking about? They advertise it a lot here in Mexico, but I didn't know it was a Sailor Moon copy—or an attempt at one.

ya this is it.

I mean its not an exact copy but its VERY similar especially in the beginning. Good show though.

In Mexico, it aired uncensored. However, (Fish eye) they used a female voice for the character, even though he is male.


The relationship with Haruka and Michiru remained intact, just like in the original.

The intro was this.

I remember showing a friend from Chile what USA and Canada got as the intro to Digimon and he was like wtf is this lol. I think every other country, including Germany, got a song much more like the original Japanese one. We got this, the most late 90s thing ever

In Brazil we got most of the original tracks intact. I think they tried to make something out of it, but once the original song got exposed everybody here loved.
Digimon is one of them. They tried to push the american shit version dubbed by a brazilian after a couple of episodes, but it failed miserably because the first episodes were with the original intro/soundtrack. It made brazilians love and respect the original material.

This game never made it to the Americas—in fact, no *Sailor Moon* game did.

Saint Seiya didn't officially come to Mexico either; instead, Brazil somehow licensed the game's release, allowing us to buy it in Mexico.

Back when I was watching Digimon it never even occurred to me that there was probably another intro song, so it was only years later when someone posted on a forum that the composer of the Digimon theme song died and I looked it up on youtube that I heard the original for the first time, and realized how much better it was than what we got in Canada .

Anyways, back on topic, English Sailor Moon intros were cool, but the Japanese version of the Season 1 intro was the best imo. Apparently it was similar enough to another existing song that they have to pay them royalties?

Heimdall_Xtreme What's your favourite intro of all the seasons?

e: this mouse is killing me. finally got the right video.

the American dub of Digimon is honestly insane. I can't believe this ever got popular with the music bastardised like this lol.

pretty much every other dub just translated the original music.

I still have the german soundtrack CD of Season 1 and 3 (Tamers), because the music was so good...

meanwhile in the US dub every single piece of music was replaced with this awful "DiGiMOn DigITAl MonStErS DigIMoNs aRE thE ChAmpIOnS" trash.
and what's even worse, when they announced the Digimon Movie, I was all hyped, only to get presented with the fucking American Frankenstein's Monster of a movie, where they just stitched together multiple short-film specials from japan, with the shitty American music as well... that was so disappointing.

like, imagine going from music like this, to that trash they gave us in that movie with the American opening plastered all across it...

 

[uncreativename]

I grew up with it so I have a soft spot for the movie . Some of those songs were fun lol.

But yeah going from basically the original music to that would suck.
