A Sailor Moon topic and I was unaware of it!? Man I need to visit more often! D:

Anyhoo...it's really a variety of reasons why SM's not been renewed. A lot of it is because Naoko was burned by Cloverway (who had a hand in all four seasons) AND Mixxzine (who apparently treated her terribly when she came to San Diego in 1998 - hence it is likely that is why Tokyopop didn't start renegotiating new rights until the CEOs who were involved with that debacle were kicked out, back in 2008). It wasn't just the money, it's the fact there's no guarantee she and her license won't be treated like crap over here (because let's face it, she is filthy stinking rich and even if she wasn't, she has a filthy stinking rich husband who takes care of her and her son, so she doesn't actually need money). Funimation is certainly trying, and I did talk to their guy at Otakon; he explained that was one of the major reasons why they were trying really, really...

I hear ya, Hellsing is a cool show, but Funimation is just one company, the have the rights to what, 150 anime series already, if you count the Genon saves.

Im sure Funi might save more Genon stuff in the future (Im hoping for a rerelease of the Lupin & Trigun Series myself)

but yea there a big company but they can't dub everything, brining an show to the US cost money & in this economy I guess you can't blame them for being weary & sticking mostly to Shonen action & Fanservice shows, cause for better or worse, thats what sells. (although the fanservice shows are just getting disturbing...one reason I don't watch ecchi.)

but back on Topic I do hope funi seriously considers a Re-release/Redub of SM for hte U.S. but I don't think there interested in old anime if it isnt DBZ, I mean they havn't even gotten Dr.Slump (another Toryama classic) Yet. so I don't think we will see a SM rerelease for awhile.

I wish Funimation would go ahead and decide what they want to do with the rest of the Hellsing Ultimate OVAs. I want my V and VI.

You say that as if most younger female anime characters' VAs don't sound like they are on helium to start with in the Japanese version.
They don't? They're normally high pitched or sound like... girls? When they sound whiney and full of helium, though, it sounds a little better in Japanese, mostly since we don't speak the language. So it sounds right. In English, it just doesn't fit. At all.

Cream from Sonic X anyone? Make's Rini sound like Dr. Girlfriend by comparison. Actually Rini's voice never bothered me.

unless you're talking about that other character called Chibi Chibi...wait did the dub make it that far? Arg now I'm confused!

Agreed. Chibi's English voice is nothing compared to how high some Japanese VA's can get. Some of them could probably break glass.

Sad thing is that Stephine Beard (Chibi on the later seasons) sounds like that in real life. :/

Though I hate to admit, with few exceptions, nailing Usagi with a Valley Girl California Blonde Chick voice fit her VERY well.

Other than that, lame city, population: English Dub.

from what I remember the VA's from the first dub weren't bad. It was probably just the script that was butchered.

Gotta love the homosexuality in the original Japanese version.

Too bad the dubbed English version made them cousins. Redub all the way!

I remember watching Sailor Moon a couple of times. Don't really remember if it was any good. I was actually looking for the DVD a few days ago.
I guess I'll support the redub.

I would love to see an accurate sailor moon dub/re-dub, But I also would'nt mind seeing some of the Origional VA's Reprising there roles. Lets hope funi can get the creater to quite being so stingy with international distribution of the series.

Usually If there is a dub version of an anime I'll watch both the dub and the original just for the heck of it. Maybe to catch differences. But I gotta tell ya I still thought Sailor Moon was hella stupid even with all its original content intact. I still can't believe I watched it every weekday morning when I was younger.

If there were like...a mini series or a condensed story version then I'd think it'd be ok. But to me Sailor Moon has way too many episodes. Its up there with Dragon Ball and Detective Conan, anime that I started watching, loving every bit of it and eventually just getting bored because no end is ever in sight. Not to say that there aren't any longer anime of course. It's just...ugh. Stand alone episodes in this context make me nauseous over time. Kind of like the hated months long filler arc of Naruto.

This poll seems to still be alive; I voted. So if you would kindly steer right past every choice but Sailor Moon and vote for a "Sailor Moon Redub" by Funimation, I'm sure a very large number of people would appreciate it if Funimation chooses to actually REDUB SAILOR MOON YAY.

For the record, Sailor Moon is awesome and was never given a legitimate dub; there is an entire website dedicated to that.
