Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

I have seen so many bad anime live action adaption like dragon ball z, death note, ghost in the shell etc. Because they dont follow the orginal source from the anime but This is worth a watch if you are fan of 90s anime and the manga not mention they have added different arcs like Sailor Dark Mercury, Sailor Luna this wasn't in 90s or manga but they way its delivered. Sailor moon fans if you don't like it Insist you give it second chance even though its low budget thats all they had back then not mention it stucked to source material I'm gutted there's isn't outer senshi.

If you're a fan of the Sailor Moon manga or anime you will love this television series. It was a bit cheesy at first and it still is at times but it's so much fun to watch. It really captures the mood of the manga. However, I don't like some of the things they changed. For instance, Luna is now a talking stuffed animal. Thankfully she's not around too much. Crown Arcade is now a karaoke center. Usagi doesn't seem to have a father. And Minako is a popular teen idol. What's with that?! Anyway, I highly recomend it despite those things. You can find fansubbed versions online.

What I find absolutely hilarious is that in the anime their legs are so long, and their bodies so short, yet in real life it's the other way round, so when they're in their senshi costumes they are so out of proportion it's funny! I laugh every time I see them. I think it's interesting seeing a live action series of Sailor Moon made. I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that their hair is all black and dark brown in real life, and only changes when they transform...that is odd but understandable... I also love the way that Luna is portrayed as a stuffed toy, and also the way that they can take photographs of models and transform into them. Wish I could do that!

Having already reviewed the Anime version of "Sailor Moon" I came across episodes of the live action Japanese version which ran from 2003 to 2004. I have to admit I couldn't stop until I watched all 50 episodes. Lets get one thing out of the way, the special effects are bad and there are times you are watching a power ranger fight, but the similarities end there, because the show has a real good storyline and characters you actually care about, plots such as Rei (Sailor Mars) trying to patch things up with her estranged father who wasn't there when her mother died and Minako (Sailor Venus) who fights despite having a life threatening illness. The actors are all perfectly cast as well: Miyuu Sawai who plays Usagi/Sailor Moon is not as whiny as her anime counterpart but she is just as sweet and bubbly, Chisaki Hama (Sailor Mercury) is the same brainy girl we all know and love. Keiko Kitagawa's Sailor Mars is not as tough or mean as her anime counterpart and comes off softer, but still stern. The big difference is Sailor Venus (Japanese pop star Ayaka Komatsu) who is nothing like the anime but her background story is touching and is wonderfully acted.Sailor Jupiter(Myuu Azama)is still the same tomboyish girl we all love, rounding out the cast is Jyoji Shibue who plays Tuxedo Mask,who is very good in the role. I highly recommend "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon". I personally feel if this was dubbed in English it would as big a hit here as it was in Japan. Bad effects and all.

Of course, I may be poking a fire here, but I don't like PGSM at all. It's cheesy, annoying and it looks tacky (plus the special effects aren't very good.) What happens? Well, Tsukino Usagi (played by Sawaii Myuu) wakes up and is late for school. She rushes into her mother and starts worriedly jumping around, and then makes her way to school, where a toy from the sky (Luna) lands on her head. She screams and puts it down, and gets to school. Her friend, Naru tells Usagi about a fashion show her mother is doing, and then they go, and Usagi is visited by Luna, who tells her that Naru is in danger because of a youma. Luna gives Usagi a henshin brooch and a camera phone which lets her turn into whoever she snaps. Then the fight scene - sorry, but Sawaii Miyuu sounds whiny and annoying when she runs away.

My sister first told me about the Live Action series when she got back from visiting Japan over the summer. She brought me back a sketch book with Live Action Sailor Moon on it. I found it interesting cause I've loved the anime series since like 3rd or 4th grade, so i looked it up on the internet and read a few transcripts and looked at some of the pictures. Next thing I knew I bought all the ep. on DVD over Ebay!! I even got my sister into it!!! It IS addictive!! Like subliminal messages or something!! But it's totally awesome and I liked how it followed more to the manga, and I thought it was neat that their hair changed when they changed as well. Very cool I love it!! Wonder if they'll come out with a S or SuperS version? I want to see what Neptune Uranus, Pluto, Saturn and Chibi-Moon look like!!! I give it a 10 out of 10!!!!

I have seen the first six episodes of this live action version of Sailor Moon. I think that it's really fun and creative. The girl that they got to play Sailor Moon is Miyu Sawai. She's cute and has the meatball hair. Sailor Mercury is played by Chisaki Hama and she plays Amy with the kindness and intelligence that is so likable in the anime. Mars is Keiko Kitagawa and she plays the mysterious beauty perfectly. Although, she doesn't have the comical arguments with Usagi that are an anime treat. Jupiter is Myuu Azama who plays the strong and lonely Mako-chan. Ayaka Komatsu is the real life super hero as the series begins Sailor Venus. All in all, the action is very interesting, with a funny and mad energy that is reminiscent of The Banana Splits. The costumes and make up are excellent. And the youma's are really fantastic creatures with wild designs. The transformation and the attacks of the sailor soldiers are colorful and well done. This series of Sailor Pumpkins gets two thumbs up and I hope they have a long running series.

I recently purchased the box set part one and I must say WOW! It had me running around the house shouting, " MOON PRISIM POWER, MAKE UP!" I highly enjoyed the episodes...They were completely different from the Anime and seem to stick a little bit more to the manga in a few ways. One thing I seemed to dislike about the set was that the subtitles were not that great, most of the time they are filled with grammatical errors and well sometimes they make no sense. Friends and I noticed that we could understand the show without having to read the subtitles b/c everything seemed to flow and make sense. Sure its a Japanese show so it wont be perfect for us Americans, but for me, and and I'm sure most sailor moon fans, it was everything I wanted it to be. Truly a must have for any Sailor Moon fan!

It's based more on the manga, which is a minus, since I like the anime better. But if they were following the manga, and had Takeuchi-san involved, why couldn't she write a new story with new villains rather than using the same ones again? It seems they opted to change the characters' personalities rather than the story, so we get things like an ice-queen Rei and a depressed, neurotic Ami (who doesn't even look remotely Ami-like). I like how their Usagi is less of a crybaby, though-- she's cute and funny, and has great scenes with Mamoru! Not a bad show. . . kind of cute. . . but not as good as the anime, and though I adore anime Ami, I hate what passes for an Ami in this show.
