Sailor Moon Crystal Set 3 sees the Sailor Moon reboot continue into my favourite saga – Death Busters/Infinity/Sailor Moon S – which I continue to lovingly gush about whenever I have the chance (such as here and here). As much as I enjoyed the previous releases of Sailor Moon Crystal, it was with a mixture […]
So two years ago I postulated that the only way we would ever see Toei’s 1990s adaptation of Sailor Moon in HD was if Madman could magically access an equally magical restoration from a Japanese release. Which actually happened, and I’m still in shock. So now we have Sailor Moon Complete Season 1 on Blu-Ray […]
When it comes to shows from your childhood, impartiality can be difficult. Attempting to separate the positive memories of watching early morning television on the weekends from the actual narrative proficiency and entertainment value of a show can be nigh impossible in these circumstances, so strong is the desire for things to be exactly as […]
Is there ever a bad time to watch Sailor Moon S? Probably not – it’s generally regarded as the fan favourite when it comes to the 1990s adaptation of Sailor Moon, and this release brings all the excitement to a close in terrific style. After the somewhat anti-climatic finale for the previous set (Usagi saved […]
Sailor Moon R: The Movie was a pivotal moment of discovery as a Sailor Moon fanboy in the 90s. After smashing through the DiC localisation on repeat for so long, the arrival of the internet and a rather spectacular ultimate guide for the series in the April 1997 issue of Animerica (which also featured coming-soon […]
Following a solid start in Season 1, Sailor Moon Crystal Set 2 sees the cast return in order to protect Tokyo and the rest of the world from the mysterious Black Moon Clan. Will Usagi do something useful? Will there be more character development through expanded slice of life sequences? Will Chibi-Usa get on your […]
Sailor Moon S was once hailed as one of the great mysteries of anime fandom in an era of dial-up modems, Netscape and where Agro’s Cartoon Connection fought with Cheez TV for the number one spot to zone out before heading off the school. Considered by many fans as the strongest story arc in the […]
Sailor Moon Crystal debuted on 5 July 2014 after a number of years of speculation, rumour and production delays. Essentially a reboot of the 1990s series, Toei went back to work with manga author Naoko Takeuchi’s legendary series and give it a fresh look with modern production values. The final result is an interesting revisit […]
Sailor Moon R Part 2 is the fourth collection from Madman and closes up the remainder of the second core saga from the 1990s adaptation of Naoko Takeuchi’s classic manga. This also represents the first time this arc of the series will be released in full and uncut in Australia, which is great news to […]
Ah, Sailor Moon R, what a tragic history you have in the West. When originally aired in 1996 in Australia, the series spent a great deal of time moving through the filler Hell Tree arc before settling into the Dark Moon arc, only to unceremoniously drop off part-way through the series. The abrupt ending left […]
