If he had let Cloverway do their thing without interfering, we would probably be watching a better quality dub. However, when you rush into things, this becomes the result. Sean Akins (presidesnt of Toonami) must have been on some sugar high about when the dub was announced, it seems like he had them rush because he was excited to air these seasons. The skipping of this episode, and the face that Cloverway wasn't even DONE with SMS when it began to air, is shear proof we can probably blame Cartoon Network for the lack of quality and consistencies in this dub. I won't repeat any of the above, Bob covered it pretty well, although my anger didn't go as far into chucking things. There was also a few rather careless inconsistencies and plot changes too.Oh well, it's definitely not Cloverway's worst work, but it's far from their best. There were FAR too many cuts in this episode, so many that I actually probably missed a few *GASP*.
For one, the daimon had a bra and panties on.(o.o ) As far as editing, script, and other things were concerned, this episode was done pretty poorly in my book. Oy vey, so this means we now have four evil companies to worry about, Cloverway, Optimum, DiC, and now the Cartoon Network, how disappointing.ĪNYWAY! Onto the actual episode itself, Cartoon Network played the episode during the re-run of the S season.with a few changes. Not only that, but they wont even ADMIT to their wrong doing, even though being asked several times. The network that we loved and cherished so much had betrayed every single Sailor Moon fan in the United States. This, my loyal viewers of Sailor Moon Uncensored, is the EXACT second that I lost all respect for Cartoon Network. Of course, Cartoon Network, being the idiots that they are, just continued the season like nothing had happened at all. Cartoon Network has NEVER spoken about the incident, luckily, we got an answer from the people we would have least expected, Cloverway.Ĭloverway said themselves that Cartoon Network found the episode "inappropriate" because of the nakedness of the daimon in the episode, so Cartoon Network had sent the episode back to Cloverway for some digital painting. The Network that we all loved and cherished for bringing us some high quality (well, semi-high quality) anime and trying to keep it all "un-edited" had skipped _THE_ most important episode in the entire season! I wanted some answers. Since Optimum said that they WERE dubbing all 77 episodes in the S and SuperS seasons, it couldn't have been Cloverway/Optimum. I was extremely upset, and I wanted to know who skipped the episode, Cloverway, or Cartoon Network. Luckily, nothing broke, but you get the picture of my anger. CARTOON NETWORK HAD SKIPPED ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EPISODES IN THE ENTIRE SEASON! their problem!?!?!?! I clenched my fist, took my remote, and threw it at my TV. I was confused as this episode didn't look like the episode I was expecting.then, it hit me. So I anxiously waited to see what Cloverway would do with this episode.Ībout 2 minutes in, I realized something was SERIOUSLY wrong. Infact, the rest of the season just doesn't make much sense without this episode. This episode is the first climax of two climaxes in the season, and thus, is a very, VERY, important episode. On 7/21, I anxiously awaited to see this episode of the S season. Hotaru suddenly disappears and the Outers retreat. The Inners disagree and say they can save the world without killing Hotaru. The Outers' explain to the Inners that Hotaru is Sailor Saturn and Sailor Saturn is the Messiah of Silence, and if they don't destroy her now, she will unleash the Silence upon the earth. Chibi-Moon jumps in the way of the oncoming attacks, but Sailor Moon pushes them both aside. As soon as the daimon is destroyed, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto take the opportunity to attack Hotaru. Taking the opportunity, Sailor Moon destroys the daimon. All of the senshi are stunned to learn that Hotaru is Sailor Saturn. The daimon spots her and goes to attack her, but the sign of Saturn appears on Hotaru's forehead and with her power, freezes the daimon right in her tracks.
Hotaru begins to go into a seizure, and she suddenly stands up. The inner senshi appear and try to defeat the daimon, but Uchoten is too powerful and forces them to hide. Just as the Outers' had predicted, Mimette appears and attacks Harris. They decide to also go to the planetarium, deeming that since DJ Harris is famous, that he will be Mimette's next target. Meanwhile, Michiru, Haruka, and Setsuna can feel the oncoming presence of Messiah. (The Messiah of Silence awakens? The Fate of the Stars)Ĭhibi-Usa wants the girls to take her and Hotaru to the planetarium where the handsome DJ Harris will be narrating. "Chinmoku no Messiah Kakusei? Unmei no Hoshiboshi"
