This episode fared better than the first one, but it was still pretty bad. Luckily for me, there was less scene mangling, which makes doing these comparisons much easier. Most of the episode was cuts but there was one line in particular that really urked me. You'll learn about that when you read the comparison, though ~_^ . |
Besides the normal dumb cuts and changes, "Midnight Zero" was a much better name for the radio show than "Loveline" for many reasons, this episode was done well. The main storyline of the episode wasn't changed too much, and none of the cuts were really important or anything. Though the Usagi opening segment is fun to watch and is a good recap when important things happen later in the season. |
Must..not..kill...speech...-_-; Scroll down and you'll see what I mean. Not too bad of an ep, although I don't understand why it's called a "Luna Pen" o.O; |
(5 seconds) The scene where Haruna is jumping up and down and around her room because her letter was read on the air was a bit longer in the original.
|
(1 second) Before Luna jumps up by the radio while Usagi is listening to it in the beginning of the episode, there is a short snipit. I hate snipits. They're the scum of the earth.
|
(4 seconds) In the scene where we see Usagi's dad reading the newspaper, it originally opened with a close up shot of the newspaper. This part was cut more than likely due to all the Japanese characters on it.
|
(3 seconds) A few seconds after the last snipit, the end of their conversation is cut a little short. Then we see Usagi rushing down the stairs because she's late again. This is also cut.
|
(2 seconds) After we see Usagi rushing into school but before we see her in class, there's a shot of the teacher's podium, empty. This shot was used to emphasize the fact that Haruna was missing, but of course DiC thought it wasn't necessary so they cut it.
|
(2 seconds) After Luna's initial meeting with Motoki, there's a shot of her looking starry eyed at him. This was cut in the dub for obvious reasons, 50-year old British cats don't really get boy crazy.
|
(4 seconds) A close up shot of the letters that FM 10 had been receiving about the Midnight Zero show. Cut because of all the Japanese characters showing.
|
When we see Serena and Molly walking down the street and Molly says, "I've got a special project I'm working on", the shot is digitally zoomed in. I would guess that they did this due to the fact that there are some "shady" looking individuals in the shot. The funny thing is that the shot isn't zoomed in at all in the first 2 or 3 frames of the shot, then the picture zooms in right in the middle of the shot. Funny stuff.
|
(10 seconds) After Usagi can't think of what to write to Midnight Zero, she sighs and lays down on her paper.
|
(2 seconds) During Usagi's dream sequence of Tuxedo Mask, there's a goofy shot of her getting all giddy about him.
|
(3 seconds) That scene where we see the youma breaking through the glass is cut short. I'm surprised they left it in at all, DiC doesn't really seem to like broken glass.
|
(3 seconds) After Tuxedo Mask leaves, there's a shot of Sailor Moon with hearts in her eyes, looking at him (This shot is shown in the Sailor Says segment for this episode). We then see the Jyuban center building (probably cut due to the kanji all over it).
