I can sympathize with with JoJia's statement that without the dub she would not have found Sailor Moon (or at least that that time). It is the same for myself. However, with clear access to the Japanese original, I have to state quite flatly: there is no reason to watch the dub.

I'm sorry. I just feel that passionately about how much Sailor Moon was butchered and mistreated by the dubbing. Don't even get me started on the voice acting in the S-SuperS seasons.


And V-Babe, I amusingly feel JUST as you do! ... Except about Sailor Moon, ironically enough. But DBZ in Japanese is just not DBZ. But I digress. Ahem.

I feel the exact same way. I was watching the S season in english a few weeks back because my sister was in the room, and I just couldn't take it. It was done so terribly. Not to mention the names, I can't even handle the fact that they changed so many of the names.

And Haruka and Michiru? Don't get me started.

Normally, I like the Japanese subbed version of anime, but this is not the case with the anime shows I grew up with as a child. It feels and sounds all wrong when I watch Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z, Digimon, or Gundam Wing in Japanese.

I didn't sadly grow up with Sailor Moon but I did watch it orirginally in dub so I know what you mean when you say it feels and sounds all wrong in sub. I watch Anime in Dub and Sub depending on which one I prefer more
