Easier said than done, my friend. DBZ is in a whole different league that Sailor Moon is. The North American license to DBZ has not been lost, and therefore the rights to release and distribute new DVDs of the series are still active.Darth Bombshell wrote:RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:I've still got the old DVDs, and those are good enough for me at the moment.
Some of us never got the original DVD's, so I'll be happy when they get re-released. I mean, if they can re-release Dragon Ball Z (which was going on at the same time as Sailor Moon, remember), it really seems like a no-brainer. And the best part is that we can get them unedited, considering attitudes on anime have changed since then.

On the other hand, Sailor Moon has not been put up for for a rerelease due to the loss of the North American license to do so. Until Toei allows someone to acquire the rights, the Sailor Moon anime cannot have a North American DVD rerelease. But Toei isn't going to let go of Sailor Moon so easily.
but you can't really compare Sailro Moon to DBZ since DBZ hasn't really ever stopped going. It's been producing new video games for the past several years, and it's even got another anime (Dragon Ball Kai) that's currently going (even if it is something of a remake).Darth Bombshell wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Easier said than done, my friend.

Well, considering the fact that DBZ has apparently done so well, and if the Italy revival goes well, maybe that'll convince Toei to do something about it. I remember seeing the movies dirt cheap at a London Drugs one time. I still hate myself for not snapping them up.

Okay, some more info on my SW/SM crossover...
Over 25,000 years ago, the tyrant Xim the Despot ruled the spacelanes. He was a powerful 'sorceror', skilled in the ways of the newly-discovered Force. His armies were defeated, but he escaped. Seven priestesses tracked him down to Tatooine, where over the course of three days he was finally worn down and defeated, but they did not have the power to destroy his spirit. So it was sealed away into a Sword.
The priestesses knew that they would be reborn, so they put part of their life force into a crystal that was broken into seven shards and scattered across the galaxy. They knew when the time was right, it would be reunited and Xim's spirit would finally be destroyed.

I always wanted to contribute a lot more than I did originally, but I really did seem out of my depth, considering you and Striker were more versed in the series than I was.

But that's just it. It wasn't Chibiusa, and bringing her into the Dark Kingdom arc wouldn't have worked out. Sailor Luna acted more like a replacement Senshi, as I can't trecall there being any point in the series where all five Sailor Senshi fought and worked together.

I suppose that's meant to be an analog of Chibiusa, since they obviously couldn't import the character wholesale.

Definitely the latter and not the former. Sailor Luna was, if nothing else, weaker than the other Sailor Senshi. Her Luna Sucre Candy attack could only do so much (the most it did was destroy but one single Youma) and her fan weapon wasn't very effective in battle (other than just wacking her enemies with it).Darth Bombshell wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But that's just it.

I think it goes back to the tokusatsu tradition of adding a new character with super awesome powers that eclipses the others (Much like what happened in Power Rangers), not to mention to appeal to the kid friendly audience the character obviously provided. (Especially considering the fact that the story from her introduction onward got progressively darker.)

This is why I highly prefer Luna's Japanese voice. She a young character, not a British nanny. She's supposed to be at an age that's one year older than Usagi, yet the dub turned her into Mrs. Doubtfire.
This is also why I'm not too keen on Sailor Luna being a young child in PGSM. I'll admit her character was still true to the Luna that we know and love, but she's not supposed to be a kid.
Well, think about this. Usagi may be at age 14, but she is far from being at the maturity level of a 14-year-old. Why, Chibiusa's around 9 physically, yet she's more mature than Usagi.RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:Well, her human form looks quite a bit older than 15 to me. Also, she just seems older to me too.
