I got my DVD yesterday!!! Yes! I'm so happy! I know Dan's doing an editorial, but I wanna give you guys my two cents about it right now. I'm not going to go into too much detail, as I don't want to steal the lime-light from Dan, but I will tell you that all seven episodes are there, sub and dub. The dub is "uncut", meaning that no cuts were made but the script for the dubs are the exact same as the Toonami version. The cover art is simply AMAZING!!!!! It's a TRULY reversable cover and I'm scanning them in as we speak. You can click the links at the end of this post to see them. The animation during the menus and the extras were VERY well done, but I'll let Dan handle those. Interestingly, the animation during the opening theme song is the WRONG animation. It is the animation that is supposed to be used after Sailor Moon gets the Holy Grail. The reason for this (as brought up by BorParadox from AFSM) was because that intro was the only one without the Kanji, so it wasn't Pioneer's fault for the mix-up, it was Toei's. Another weird thing were the absence of the preview for the next episode. They were nowhere to be found. The opening preview was still there but the ending preview was not. For the most part, the translation was MUCH better than VKLL's, but a little thing that urked me was that they called the daimons "daimohns". Not a big deal, just a pet peeve of mine. Ok, finally, it's quite obvious that the DVD is aimed towards the sub fan, considering that the backside refers the the senshi as "soldiers" and uses the character's Japanese names. Alright! I'll leave the rest up to Dan! Here's the WONDERFUL REVERSABLE COVER ART!! It's awesome!
Sorry, I did the best job I could scanning these in with equipment that I have. I tried to get the text as readable as possible, but the smaller text is a little tough. I also apologize for the size of these pics, but I think this way was best.
