Hello hello! Still on my nostalgia kick. I'm curious to find out roughly when other people entered the fandom, so I made a little poll
( Read more... )
I would say, don't forget when Sailor Moon was on the USA network for a little while. Sadly enough, the episodes were cut even more (for time? I'm not sure about content) but yes, I was a fan way back when Fox Kids aired it as a special here in the US, before it was picked up by a local TV station. Thankfully, I caught it earlier on, when Nephlite was just starting out, but the episodes only saw one full run, and the first fifteen episodes reran before it was cancelled. <= (
Then another station picked it up later on and showed it only once a week, but I think that was along with the Cartoon Network airings. They showed selections from the first 65, and CN was in S and SuperS.
And BOY did I miss Terri Hawkes. The DiC dub is my preferred version, and I loved the emotion (at least I thought) that was put into the series. It was localized, and I thought it worked, and I loved it. The new VA, while closer to what was intended by the original... Didn't work for me. Terri, why did you have to go and get pregnant... T_T
And more insert songs! Hee! :D
Fond fond memories of "She's Got the Power", "Carry On", and "My Only Love".
Those are my favorite songs. The other ones are up there, but man.. I remember actually crying when "My Only Love" started playing >_> and I still get chills from all three of those. I like the Power of Love as well. Whoever did the voice season in S & Super S seriously scarred me. The last episode or so of Super S. When Usagi/Serena is falling through the sky, her voice was good then, but that's about it.
Tracey Moore was Sailor Moon's first voice, then came in Terri Hawkes and then Linda Ballantyne.
I like all three. Many much prefer Terri as Serena's voice.
Likewise with Darien. Rino Romano was his first, then Toby Protcor, then my favourite (but Rino and Toby were good voices for Darien), Vincent Corazza. Many prefer Toby.
I don't remember it on USA, but with all the bouncing between networks and timeslots, it's hard to keep track. I used to watch it at 7am on UPN, woke up early just to watch it. And usually had to sit through the end of Bananas in Pajamas. Ooof.
Eh, I don't remember what the later VA sounded like at all. I only watched the first several SMS episodes to note the differences for a friend's site, and then I gave up after the "cousins" revelation. But yeah, back when I'd only seen the dub, I didn't have an issue with the voices and thought it was indeed expressive. I still much prefer the voice casting for the original to the dubs, but they weren't too badly voice-directed when viewed stand-alone :)
Bwahahaha. I still have a dub soundtrack somewhere, and it's VERY. PINK. XD
Ah, here we go, found it. I know this reply is probably coming a LOT later than it should, I found a promo for when it was on USA, before we managed to get it on Cartoon Network.
Oh man! I remember when FOX aired it as a special. It had already been picked up by YTV in Canada and was a good quarter of the way through if I am recalling correctly. However, I remember being totally perplexed by the episode that FOX ran as their "special" (which turned out to be the first episode of SMR) as it was completely out of sync with what I had seen of the rest of the series.
Then another station picked it up later on and showed it only once a week, but I think that was along with the Cartoon Network airings. They showed selections from the first 65, and CN was in S and SuperS.
