This episode would of been great had it not been for one huge mistake. Tamasuboro had a gender change. That's right, originally Tamasuboro was a BOY, not a GIRL, and since the whole episode revolves around Chibi-Usa's crush on HIM, the episode got screwed. |
This was the first episode I saw subtitled, and there didn't seem to be much to play around with, except the "elephant" scene, which I'm suprised that they kept the orginal idea in there, just cutting out a bit of it. I really wanted to see how they were going to explain Usagi's kangi of lack thereof. I was VERY disappointed to see that they used SYMBOLS! It could've been done in a better way, like "Well, this cursive is really bad, I could barely read it" or something, but you get the point. As Bob says in the comparision below, they had just insulted and pissed off everyone in Japan. And for the next and last negative (this episode was awesome except for two things) we have Cloverway pulling a DiC: a sex change. Tamasuboro was a boy in the orginal. I think the only reason CWi made this change was because of not even 5 seconds of footage of him wearing a dress. Thats it, 5 seconds, and they had to screw up the main plot of the episode. Or did they? Rini did seem to still have a crush on "her" even though hes a girl now. This confuses me, the outer senshi can't have an ASSUMED lesbian relationship but yet Rini can flat out say she has a crush on a girl? I don't understand, oy. |
This whole episode was royally screwed. While Tamasuboro's name was kept, his gender was changed.He was now a girl who sounded like a prostitute, and yet Rini STILL had somewhat of a crush onhim/her/it/whatever. oh yeah, that really took away the thinking of lesbianism. uh huh. good job, cloverway. and the symbol thing..*twitch* so offensive. I was enraged at this. -_- they killed this episode, and ruined many a great scene. |
Chagama was changed to Chagarma. No biggie, but that "r" sound is DEFINITELY not there in the Japanese version.

Whoever did the Elephant boy's voice did it SO WRONG. Originally, the Elephant boy was a smart ass, in the dub, he was just some kid, not really rude at all.
|
(8 seconds) The second cut from the Elephant routine. Again, I'm going to describe the scene and when you see something [in brackets and italicized] that means that that part of the scene was cut.
We see the elephant boy grab his pants, and Chibi-Usa looks really scared. [The kid lowers his pants to his ankles and Chibi-Usa SCREAMS. The kid's mom appears and whacks him on the head] and then she takes him away. Again, i'm simply amazed that the idea that the boy took off his pants is kept! That's simply amazing! Wow.... Elephant Boy With His Pants Down

Rini refers to Amara and Michelle as cousins. Well, at least they've laid off the cousin comments recently. But still, THEY'RE NOT COUSINS!
|
(4 seconds) About 4 poses Usagi makes after Chibi-Usa pinches her super numb foot are cut.
(note - These poses weren't the ones that were necisarrily cut, but they're funny and I wanted to include them anyway ^_^)
Hilarious Pose 1

Even though this episode was an "I shall punish you!" episode, it was still ruined =*(
Of course, Lovely wasn't kept.
