"Usagi ga oshiemasu! Slim ni naruhou" (Usagi Teaches! How to be Slim!) |

3 | "Slim City" | 95-9-13 |
A very basic episode. It really had very little plot to it, not even a youma. Still, DiC managed to REALLY screw this episode up. I can't tell you HOW much pointless stuff happened to this episode. Just read the comparison and you'll see what I'm talking about. |
Wow, they really screwed this one up. At least in the previous episodes, the episode stuff stayed the same (notice I said episode stuff, that doesn't refer to the changes made to things throughout the season such as name changes, but stuff that happened in the episodes themselves) for the most part, but this one, they managed to change the simple episode plot and storyline. Pretty pointless to make all those changes, though done well enough to still make the episode enjoyable for dub watchers. |
Wow, Dic had a field day with the scenes here o_o; interesting...bad, but interesting. Although I'd like to point out something that bothers me. In the original, when Moon goes to fight the youma, she gets scared and runs away. While she's running, Luna yells to her "If you fight them, you'll lose more weight!" and Moon screeches to a stop and grins. This is all hilarious in the original. It was changed to Luna yelling "What about Miss Haruna?! You must save her!". *sigh* must there always be a kind-hearted-flowers-and-hearts lesson? |
(30 seconds) The Opening Usagi segment is cut.
|
(5 seconds) After Luna shows Usagi the picture of "Fat Sailor Moon", Usagi starts yelling at Luna, which we continue to hear as the scene changes to outside the house.
|
In the shot with the school, the kanji with the school name on it is painted out, and in its place, "Crossroads Junior High School" is put in. Also, the scene doesn't really sync up with the original and it doesn't act the same way, which leads me to believe that they just edited one scene with the school in it and will use that one scene whenever they need too. Laaaaazy~
|
(20 seconds) Directly after the scene alteration mentioned above, we see Usagi in class, eyeing Naru's lunch. Then Umino offers Usagi what's left of his lunch, which leaves Usagi speechless.
|
(6 seconds) A few shots of Naru interrogating Umino over where he got the pictures of Haruna-sensei at are cut.
|
(3 seconds) Before Umino runs away from Usagi and Naru over the pictures he had of Haruna-sensei, we see him with a sweat drop over his head. Did they cut this scene because of the sweat drop? Oy...
|
(9 seconds) A shot of the fitness club from afar is cut.
|
(5 seconds) A shot of Naru and the other two tired after their workout, we then see the door to the Jacuzzi room. All of this is cut.
|
During the bath scene, water is added over Usagi's cleavage to hide it.
|
(6 seconds) Shots of Jadeite gathering energy are cut.
|
(2 seconds) After that one kid runs away screaming from Usagi, there's a snippet, cutting out the end of that scene and the beggining of the next.
|
When we see the Sailor V poster, originally it scrolls down so that we are able to see the rest of the poster, but in the dub it just stays in that fixed position. Did DiC do this because they didn't want to reveal the bad guys with the guns that were on the poster (even though they were already partway visible)? Did they not want to show Sailor V's legs (even though Sailor Moon's are just as prominent in every episode)? The world may never know. Kind of like how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop, the world may never know.
....... .... *cricket cricket cricket* ?.? DUDE!!! It wasn't that corny!!!!!!!!!!! *runs away crying*
|
(3 seconds) Towards the end of the fight between Moon and the three goons there's a short cut. Nothing important.
