On Novemafter what seemed like ages the final 17 episodes of season two aired. They would be airing the previously unseen episodes that would finally complete the cliff hanger we were left on.
Re-runs of the show would start to air on November 30, 1998. The “Lost” EpisodesĪfter Sailor Moon aired on places like UPN13(Southern California) it was picked up by Toonami. If you want to go into more of the history of the voice actors I highly suggest this comprehensive guide that Sailor Tortilla has put together. Oh and the voice actors for Serena… there were three, and two were in the first two seasons. To name just a few of the weirder ones, Makoto (Jupiter) was Lita, Mamoru (Tuxedo Mask) was Darien, and Haruka (Uranus) was Amara. Usagi was called Serena and many other characters had name changes as well. Well that was the result of a name change of the character that DIC created. Oh, That’s right! If you’ve only ever seen the original you may not know who Serena is. Some of the cuts would then be featured in the shows ending “Sailor Moon Says” where Serena would tell you something like “Don’t be a bully”. They took out a lot of the show because of time constraints because they had to fit in time for those commercials. The idea was that they would be a competitor to “ Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” which was so popular with boys at the time.īack to DIC, the Mississauga, Canada-based Optimum Productions was hired to dub the anime and that’s what they did. The Toon Makers version is still referred to as Saban Moon because that is who they were trying to sell it to. If you’re lucky you can still find cels of the first promo episode in stores that sell animation stills. Not only were they trying to make it half live-action half animated, but they were also going to just use the concept and had created their own characters. On a personal note, the Toon Makers version that they were trying to get made would have been worse than the DIC dub ever was.
