Based on the Japanese comic books, this two-part story introduces viewers to 14-year-old Serena's millennium-ago past as moon princess. Queen Serenity, the mother Serena/Sailor Moon doesn't remember, reappears to guide her daughter through a vision of what was, in "The Past Returns." Sailor Moon learns the sad fate of her family and civilization at the hands of the evil Queen Beryl's army, as well as the source of her curious connection with Darien. Fueled by her knowledge, she and four other scouts fight Queen Beryl and her Doom & Gloom Girls with renewed vigor in "Day of Destiny." Her cohorts are eventually all captured, leaving Sailor Moon to fight the mean queen one-on-one. The teenage superheroine is victorious, of course, banishing Beryl back to the Negaverse, freeing her friends, and subsequently forgetting her trip into the past--for her own good and that of the future of the WB television series from which this 41-minute video originates. For girls 6 and up. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Summary: It's ok....with the sound off
Comment: Ok, I'm 15 years old, I originally watcheed sailor moon when I was 8 years old when I lived in Germany, where they broadcast it on RTL2, and it was uncut as I remeber. Sadly we moved back to England, with me still thoroughly hooked on sailor moon. My grandparents then bought me two of the Sailor moon videos to feed my addiction, it was this one and the video entitled Jupiter and venus arrive.
My original reaction was , Yay! finally I can watch some sailor moon again, and even better, it's in english. Imagine my horror at having to sit through the "sanitised" American version. I can only assume that this was aimed at children under the age of 36 months as practically half the scenes in the episode where sailor moon is stumbling through the arctic were deemed too "violent" for children. Please, I'm a girl and was 7 years old when I watched it and I didn't see anything inappropriate.
In my opinion removing these scenes completely alienated any teen audience as it just seems all too unrealistic, and if you've seen the original, makes you feel like the people editing this are looking down their noses at you and still treating you as kids.
And don't even get me started on "Sailor says", christ, talk about patronising!
Some of the voice casting is also completely off, Luna sounds like a nagging grandma! In the German and Japanese version she sounds much younger, and much less irritating.
Some of the translation isn't quite accurate either. You have to remeber, this show was aimed at young or pre-teens, and the characters here are 14 years old. Do the 14-year-olds you know really talk like this all the time? It's lost some of the charm that made it so appealing in the first place, although most of it is accurate and even funny in places.
The artwork is beautifully restored, although the cut out scenes does make you feel like you've been cheated a little.
Basically, the overall storyline is the same, and if this is the first time you watch sailor moon and you're under the age of 11, it is fairly watchable
any teens sent this who are fueled with sailormoon nostalgia, my advice is don't watch it, give it to a younger sibling, return it, or better still burn it.
Seriously, the original uncut version is much better, even if it is in Japanese, it makes more sense and is way better.
Other series I recommend are Sailor moon S - which introduces new scouts and is often voted the best of the five series, and Sailor Moon Stars - which isn't actually available in english because they'd have to edit out too much, but is also very good. Sailor moon stars is also legally available for download over the internet so I have heard as it was never copyrighted (or it may have been copyrighted 10 years ago but is no longer) but you'd need a lot of patience and a pretty fast connection to get it that way
The Manga is also extremely good if you don't feel like forking out too much cash for the dvds

Summary: Its okay
Comment: (i'm NOT 12 years old, i'm 14, so what?)
This video is one of the first pieces of Sailor moon mechantdice. What I don't like about the video is that it only contains two episodes and its the dub version. At the time they first started putting out episodes of Sailor moon on video it was only two episodes that were "the best". But Sailor moon wasn't the only cartoon/anime that got this kind of video treatment at the time(i can name some of those cartoons if you want me to).The episodes contained on this tape are the last episodes of the season one dub(you still have to put up with that AWFUL Sailor Says, ICK!) The cover picture is American drawn with a Barbie doll pink backround and has a glittery rainbow border(oooh, pretty colors!) By the time when DVDs came out, ADV flims took over and made new Sailor moon videos(and they put FOUR episodes on the tape, not two, thank goodness!) I think the video it self was good(i guess) but save your money for the ADV version or the uncut version(uncut is ALWAYS the best way to go!)unless if you are a hardcore fan who has to have EVERYTHING.

Summary: So Sailor Moon
Comment: I think this tape is good but the japan version is much better its 22 minutes longer because its a 2 part episode I got mine fansubbed at Mina Arnolds Fansubs they have all The sailor Moon episodes in japanesse with english subtitles. I love the end of each seaso nbecause the bad guys die and its cool but in the japan version you se all the first 5 scouts die its kind of sad and not for young children but good forkids older then 11.
also recomended all sailor stars episodes avalible at Mina Arnold Fansubs holdbacks are sailor moon is nude the scouts die the new scouts sailor starlights are boys but when they transform there sex changes and they becaome girls and they use a swear alot.This series should be watched once you are 13 but it is the best season of Sailor Moon the hit tv show.
