The English dub also butchered the hell out of many plotlines and "sanitized" the show to the point of ridiculousness. It was also extremely uneven. And as someone who's seen every episode in Japanese, it's still plenty silly.
And yes, the Japanese names are gonna be used.

It was a different time back prime time cartoons in the 90s couldn't show what we have today.
I dunno I remembered the big war back in the day but if you watch the dub for what it is and teenage girls fighting giant lipsticks don't take the show so serious
Japanese music horrid the dub music matched the tone IMO and the names were not butchered adaptions everyone pretty much got closish american names

My waifu isn't happy about the money being earmarked for these after I've purchased all of the Figuarts series too.

One of the first times I had sex (I promise I'm not lying!) was to a Jem VHS tape playing in the background. I may have even gotten that sex for saying I watched Jem as a child and enjoyed it, prior to the act (maybe LiK was right about Sailor Moon..)

I was a huge fan of the English dub when it first premiered too, but as soon as I learned just how much they altered, I can't even watch it anymore. And the dub quality varied wildly from season to season, which also was quite off-putting.
And I never had a problem with the music.
I don't know if many people are aware of just how much was changed between the versions. The amount is quite staggering. (Not to mention, the original dub out-and-out removed a bunch of episodes too.)
Ok I'm willing to accept everything else i liked about the dub being altered for the more accurate translation.
But for fucks sake, keep Tuxedo Mask's name Tuxedo Mask please. Please
Going to miss some of the English songs, mostly just the song of the other sailor scouts transforming/powers and Tuxedo Mask's theme.
Funimation seems to have some hold on Toonami though

Bleach and Naruto are Viz shows that are on Toonami.
The English dub had a ton of problems, but Luna in my head will always be grandmotherly. RIP in Peace, memories of freshman year marathons.
I have that light-up rotating case from Saints Row IV. When Viz finally gets to releasing Stars, I will probably actually store one of the sets in there because that'll be a major event.

I think it was just dumb how sometimes within the same season, attack/object names would be different and inconsistent.
I think the interview refers to him as "Tuxedo Mask" so we should be good with that. I hope they don't try to pull some weird translation for the Ginzuishou and just call it the Silver Crystal. None of this illusionary/whatever stuff.

I mean Bleach, Blue Exorcist, and Naruto are all non-Funimation shows.

Girls love men that love girly cartoons. It's the truth.
Hehe. Awesome. I wish I had one of those, but I got the regular version of Saints Row IV.
Nice avatar, by the way! Jem's the shit!

So good and brings be back the 90s (...and preschool). Though the original Japanese BGM for transformations can't be beat. Sailor Meeeerrrrcuuuuurrry Sailor Mars Sailor Mars~
They'll just use the same name. I don't think they'll really mess with attack names.

If I remember correctly, there were two English dubs. The 2nd one was Serena basically yodeling every spoken piece of dialogue. It was...tolerable when I was younger, don't know if I can stomach it now.
Oh god, didn't that thing have like five different names over the course of a single episode in the dub? I seem to recall Sailor Moon Abridged making a joke about that.

Speaking of Bleach and Naruto, isn't it kind of nuts that Viz hasn't tried to capitalize on the popularity of those two series with a Blu Ray release yet? I'd love to own Bleach up to the end of the Soul Society Arc on Blu Ray.
I would much rather buy them in sets than a bunch of fragmented DVD releases. Would even be willing to pay like $35-40/season.

It was the Emperium/Imperium Silver Crystal for a while but then they dropped it around R.
I think when translated from Japanese, a lot of different groups had different names for it due to the 'maboroshi no' that came before it normally. I hope they don't use the illusionary thing in the dub :/
Oh god...... those are awful.

Not as bad as the Luna/Negaverse cues imo.

It worries me that I haven't heard these tracks in well over a decade and yet they remain instantly familiar upon listening to them again. So much cheese.
Not having the new series stream-able in Canada is depressing. I didn't even know TYV was still around. :/

I dunno, I kinda love how cheesy they sound.
Yes. They did. It's official.
The English dub Sailor Moon music was much more fitting to its series than Bruce Falconer's music was to Dragon Ball Z.
The first track sounds like the instrumental version of a song from some 80's synth band or something.
Shit reminds me of an old DOS game after getting the ol' Soundblaster working.

I have the season sets and several of the ones from Pioneer/Geneon and I still love the 90s dub. Recently my brother got a bootleg set of those and we've been enjoying the memories.
Still, I'm bummed Viz got this as I'd rather Funi have it, especially in regards to the dub and price. The great news though is Animaze can't charge us out of house and home.
I see. I thought BR was Funimation from some time ago. Bleach and Naruto would be of no surprise. Did bleach ever leave?

Wow, awesome. A new anime and a proper treatment of the old one?
Can we please get a proper Evangelion blu ray now?

Funimation should re-dub it with the rebuild movie cast.
YTV? Really? Do they still have the broadcast rights or something?

I bet it has already been restored and they are sitting on it for whatever reason. :|
