00:00Alright, hi people, it's Shakespeare and I'm here to do, well, sort of redo unboxings of
00:05all of the original Viz Media Blu-rays for Sailor Moon, the original 90s series, before
00:13I also do a video on the 2022-2024 re-releases that use the Japanese remaster instead of
00:20Viz Media's own.
00:21If you didn't know, basically from 2015 to 2019, Viz re-dubbed all of the original 90s
00:37Sailor Moon series in addition to dubbing Sailor Moon Crystal as well as the movies
00:42and they re-released them in these box sets and everything as well as more standard releases.
00:51The remasters on these for the show, the movies are fine, are not good because Tellway could
00:59not locate great masters for these so I'm assuming that these are more so maybe the
01:05older DVD masters rather than upscaled to HD.
01:10One of the main, or some of the main problems with these are the first season has ghosting
01:14issues for some reason, it doesn't make any sense, I doubt that's even a thing with the
01:18remasters, and the entire show just has oversaturation problems, color correction problems, and other
01:27things to the point where you can't, and DVNR problems, where at points you can't even really
01:31see a lot of detail in the image where you can in either the DVD masters, mainly the
01:38ones from Italy which actually had a decent remaster and color correction, and the new
01:44release is, so yeah, aka the Japanese release, so yeah.
01:51But I still have these pretty much just for posterity and everything, plus these are actually
01:55pretty good sets for the most part in terms of packaging, so yeah.
02:01So here we go with the first season, I don't have the backing anymore because I believe
02:05I threw that out at some point, but you get Sailor Moon on the front, the Sailor Moon
02:10logo, the box and everything, so yeah, may sell these online at one point whenever they're
02:16like worth hundreds of dollars, but yeah, so you have her transformation thing, Sailor
02:23Moon logo, Season 1, Blu-ray, DVD, Viz, and Toei, and then the back there, and it doesn't
02:30really matter if I have the backing or not, it's the same as the first volume's back,
02:36so yeah.
02:37And then right here you have the two volumes, which is part 1 and part 2, and then the limited
02:46edition booklet that you can only get in these releases, so yeah, and then we have the Blu-ray
02:53case for part 1, the back, you got a description of the set, Sailor Moon logo, Sailor Moon,
03:03some screenshots, you can see the awful color correction that these episodes got, because
03:07they are way too red and pink shifted, in terms of the colors.
03:14Sixth is set, 23 episodes, 1080p HD, 4x3, English and Japanese stereo, and English subtitles,
03:21and yeah, these do have Blu-rays and DVDs, so yeah, Viz, Warner Bros, Blu-rays Region
03:27A, approximately, DVDs Region 1, approximately 530 minutes, TVPG, and all that.
03:33Funnily enough, the original Sailor Moon is now airing on Toonami again, so that's really
03:39cool.
03:40So yeah, so you have the Blu-rays, showing the inside artwork, it's just basically stock
03:45art in front of a background of the bad guys, disc 2, and disc 3, and the DVDs, disc 1,
03:542, and 3, oh yeah, right, and the DVDs for at least Season 1, the way that the aspect
04:00ratio is, they're in a box, which, if you're watching on a standard FTV through a DVD player,
04:07for the DVDs, like, puts them in a black box around the video image.
04:16That's bad disc authoring.
04:18So yeah, this is one of the weirdest fucking releases that Viz Media has ever put out,
04:21because they've put out better releases before and since this.
04:25So you got more of the bad guys right there, so yeah.
04:40So then we get to part 2, which I saved the slipcover, because you can literally just
04:44easily fit in the slipcover in this, and it's not going to be any worse for wear, literally.
04:51So on the front you have all the Sailor Guardians, whatever, Sailor Moon logo, Blu-ray and DVD
04:57combo pack, see them, the spine, the other spine, and then the back, you got Princess
05:06Serenity right there, description, screenshots, yeah, 6-disc set, 23 episodes, same P, 4x3,
05:21English and Japanese stereo, English subtitles, and all that, again, pretty much everything's
05:26the same, because it's the same number of episodes, and then we got the Blu-ray case,
05:32and yeah, so, we got disc 1 in the Blu-rays, you can see the inside artwork is the Sailor
05:39Guardians, disc 2, disc 3, then the DVDs, disc 1, 2, and 3, Sailor Moon again right
05:50there, so, yeah.
05:59So then we got the mid-edition booklet, which only comes in these releases, which includes
06:05episode guides, translated lyrics for the Japanese songs, character bios, and then artwork
06:19for the characters, and everything, so yeah.
06:27In terms of if you're a Sailor Moon fan that actually wants these, it's not a bad set to
06:35go in regards to what you get, it's just unfortunately the masters are bad for the episodes, so yeah.
06:41So then we get Sailor Moon R, which has the same setup, you got Sailor Moon right there,
06:46the show's logo, and everything, and then the spine, and the back, so yeah.
07:00Part 1, with all the 22 episodes in this set, they still have 530 minutes here, because
07:11that's just what was ported over from the first season sets.
07:17Got disc 1 of the Blu-rays, inside artwork of the bad guys, which that's not revealing
07:25at all.
07:27Disc 2, disc 3, disc 1, 2, and 3 of the DVDs, more of the bad guys.
07:41We got part 2, pretty much just gonna go in a little pilot for these, just showing them
07:49off and everything, it's 480 minutes, 21 episodes in this, so, interesting.
07:58They didn't lower the other one to like, I think it was supposed to be like 500 minutes
08:02or something like that.
08:03So yeah, disc 1 of the Blu-rays for this, and the inside artwork is the additional Sailor
08:12Guardians, disc 2, and disc 3, disc 1, 2, and 3, so yeah, almost forgot to put the flip
08:30cover back on this.
08:34So we have the limited edition booklet, and his episode guides, character bios, probably
08:46for the new characters, I'm assuming, translated songs, lyrics, and everything, and then artwork
08:56for the characters, so yeah.
09:03So then, Sailor Moon R, the movie, this actually has a good remaster, because again, it's a
09:08movie so it was on film, so I think Toei did the remaster themselves and then gave this
09:13media those masters.
09:15So yeah, 2 discs, Blu-ray and DVD, comic pack, 1080p, 16x9, English and Japanese audio, English
09:22subtitles, makeup, Sailor Guardians featurette, cast interview, LA premiere, Q&A and more,
09:28some screenshots, Blu-rays region A, DVDs region 1, approximately 90 minutes, TV 14, and all that.
09:36And just so you guys know, no, the original 90s Deke dub and later dubs in English are
09:42not on these sets, these are just the Viz Media dub and the Japanese audio.
09:50So yeah, and on the inside you get the 2 discs, the DVD and the Blu-ray, right here
09:58you get Sailor Moon's first theatrical feature, sticker that was on the shrink wrap, so yeah.
10:13Then we have Sailor Moon S.
10:29This is 470 minutes, you got Sailor Uranus and Neptune, 19 episodes and everything, because
10:38the seasons get progressively shorter, which is kind of a blessing because, yeah.
10:44But disc 1 of the Blu-rays, you got the inside artwork of the bad guys, disc 2, disc 3, and
10:52disc 1 of the DVDs, disc 2 and 3, and more inside artwork.
11:06And here we go for part 2, same stuff on the spine, and the back, so yeah.
11:24So disc 1 of the Blu-rays, and then the inside artwork of the Sailor Guardians, disc 2 and
11:30disc 3, then disc 1 of the DVDs, disc 2 and 3, there we go.
11:56Then the booklet, so we get Sailor Moon S, the movie, and the back.
12:25So two discs, and all of that, so yeah.
12:29Then approximately 60 minutes of everything.
12:33So then here we go, I think this was the original theatrical poster in Japan, here we go with
12:41the discs, same setup as Sailor Moon R, the movie, so yeah.
12:51Then Sailor Moon Super S. It's again 19 minutes, 456 minutes, I guess they had the wrong numbers
13:11on the previous set.
13:13Disc 1 of the Blu-rays, inside artwork, disc 2, disc 3, and then disc 1 of the DVDs, disc
13:232 and disc 3, just the inside artwork.
13:33So there we go with the part 2, 20 episodes here, and this is 456 minutes again, so that's
13:45just a copy and paste from the previous set, which is disappointing.
13:56Well the Blu-ray case is broken.
14:00That's just great, I'm going to have to order a replacement Blu-ray case.
14:05Disc 1 of the Blu-rays, inside artwork, just features Sailor Guardians, disc 2, disc 3,
14:13disc 1, 2, and 3 of the DVDs, more inside artwork, and I don't know when the last, last
14:28time I probably opened some of these was definitely the unboxings, the previous versions
14:32of the unboxings.
14:33Then the limited edition booklet, and then, oh wait, Sailor Moon Super S, the movie,
14:58back, 60 minutes again, Ami's First Love featurette, and all that, TV-14, oh yeah, and on the inside,
15:16DVD and Blu-ray, so yeah, yeah, Sailor Stars, which up until Viz Media dubbed and released
15:35this season, was not released in the U.S. or dubbed, so yeah, with the original like
15:41deked up, 17 minutes, 408, or 17 episodes, 408 minutes, so yeah, then the discs, inside
15:56artwork, disc 1 of the Blu-rays, 2, and 3, then disc 1 of the DVDs, 2 and 3, then more
16:05inside artwork, alright, then we got part 2, then the back, 17 episodes, yeah, disc
16:351 of the Blu-rays and the inside artwork, 2, and disc 3, I don't know why that slid
16:45out as easy as it, or like it did, so then disc 1 of the DVDs, 2 and 3, more inside artwork,
17:03and then the booklet, alright, so that's basically it for all these, I'm going to be
17:21doing another unboxing, another video, we're doing the unboxings for the re-releases as
17:28well as comparing them in terms of packaging, so yeah, so not much else to say, links in
17:33the description of my shit, subscribe if you want, and I'll see you guys in the next one.
