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.

Do Funimation have a weapon to undo her wrath?

The Sonic Team development studio was established to execute the wishes of Sega." Sega 03: "It was intended to enact the business strategy we had created." Sega 05: "However, it appears to have become dominated by a single, zealous individual." Sega 04: "Yes it has. We must take it back into our own dominion." Sega 01: "It is time. We must restore SONIC TEAM and the Sonic series to their proper role." "Iizuka, you will take responsibility for betraying Sega."

Holy crap thick canadian accents D: "Mall" turned into "MAUUUUUUUUUUUULL"... lol I also watched the promo for the unaired/developed American version of the show, complete with live action/cartoon mix... I've never watched the series before, but given a decent dub, I'd give it a shot.

Posts: 18648 (10/22/2009 12:01 PM) Swords `n` Sorcery Fan & Occasional Forlorn Voice of Sanity Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I thought that Naoko Takeuchi withdrew the licence on the grounds that she was trying to put all of the marketing and publicity weight behind the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon live action series, rather than any particular outrage at the terrible English dubbing? Either way, even if the rights could be recovered, the political climate's probably deteriorated even from what it was when the original dubs were made. The cuts that were made won't be reinstated because it'll still be seen as a show for kiddies and there're certain things in there that the soccer moms in the Bible belt don't want little Mary-Kate and Jimmy seeing. The original incarnations of the franchise're still very much in people's consciousness, so it's not as though its dumbed down version would be easy to put aside and break away from as far as marketing goes. There might even be more cuts than the show had originally, and the fifth series still wouldn't get touched with a ten foot pole. No longer a forum staff member.

My research yielded no results as to why this all happened, but the facts of what has happened seemed pretty final: Online petitions requesting the dubbing of Sailor Stars have been held since 2000. It has been confirmed that Sailor Stars, the final season of the Sailor Moon anime, will not be dubbed, because Toei is not putting it up for license. The manga is expected to remain out-of-print as well, although TokyoPop is looking into renegotiating the rights. On May 5, AnimeonDVD reported from Anime Central 2007 that "Toei currently has a lockdown on all Sailor Moon licenses, but Geneon expressed interest in case the situation changed. However, Geneon was merged with Universal Studios in February 2009. Similarly, Madman Entertainment was forced to stop print of all the Sailor Moon DVD licenses it acquired, despite the R4 DVD releases being very successful. Madman Entertainment still has interest in re-licensing the series from Toei and re-releasing it.[citation needed] Toei has also stated that it does not ever intend to license its recent live-action series Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, or the musicals, outside of Japan.

They probably believe that it's worth not making short term profit to avoid giving their series a bad reputation. WHAT COMPANIES THAT CARE ABOUT THEIR LONG TERM SURVIVAL?! Their motives may even be artistic rather than economic, which is so refreshing but foreign to American corporate culture I could scream. shakespeare gets so tired of time travellers telling him not to listen to his mp3s because of all the anachronism he's causing. shakespeare just wants to ROCK!

Posts: 647 (10/22/2009 5:05 PM) Leader Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Pleeeeease. There is no reason NOT to vote. Funimation created this poll. Funimation IS the dubbing company. Also: Naoko/Toei wants money. That's all she wants for Sailor Moon. I am 100% convinced that this is at least 99.9% true and anything else you've heard is some fluff she forced out on command. Also: A redub. Now why on Earth, would they "redub" Sailor Moon the same way? Also, what makes you think they would dub it for television? That Funimation website doesn't look like they do their work for TV. That excludes some crazy anime channel such as "The Funimation Channel". ALSO: If you have seen the dub of Sailor Moon that we ALREADY HAVE, and you have no idea what the Japanese version is like, this redub could BLOW YOU AWAY. This sounds like a common thing to say about anime, but I don't give a crap about anime; in fact, everyone who complains about dubbed anime does so because they saw people who watched the original Sailor Moon talking about it and they wanted to be cool. Half of the pre-2000 internet was in fact written by Sailor Moon fans. Sailor Moon's dub IS the bad dub. Please. omg. I need all of you to help get an actual dub of Sailor Moon in the works.

Posts: 1959 (10/22/2009 7:12 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	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.

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.
