After a one and a half year wait since Sailor Moon Part 1, Sailor Moon S part 1 is finally here!! :D This is my review of Madman’s Australian and New Zealand release, which contains Viz Media’s new English dub along with the original Japanese audio. This is the 5th volume of the set and contains 19 episodes on 3 discs. Only 5 volumes to go until we get to end of the series!


Sailor Moon S is my second favourite season (just behind Sailor Stars) and introduces two new outer senshi Sailor Uranus & Sailor Neptune. The popularity of the third season is largely due to this pair, and it’s not hard to see why. THEY ARE JUST. SO. COOL. And ruthless. They also happen to be lovers. What makes this release special is that we finally have an English uncut version that aims to preserve the integrity of the original Japanese scripts. They are no longer “Cousins”.This release is long overdue, don’t you think? ;) 

 Look at the beautiful design & packaging!😍 Its very pretty and it's a nice change from all the pink from the previous two sets. The disks are nice too. This reminds me so much of the blue box sets from ADV and Pioneer/Genon when they released S and Super S on DVD back in the 2000s. 

Booklet

This limited edition release also comes with a thin booklet, containing some character profiles. There are no episodes guides like the US version (which has 96 pages)

DVD Menus

The menus are pretty basic with the theme song playing in the background I do however like the art.

Screenshots

The video quality looks pretty good :D Check out these screenshots!

All in all, this new box set is everything we’ve come to expect from Madman’s Sailor Moon releases. The design and packaging are really pretty. I'm happy with the video quality overall.
