I love how many of the comments are like "I prefer the anime" because like. No duh literally everyone prefers the anime, it is an objectively better product. That said, Saban Moon is fascinating imo and I'd love to know how it would've gone had it been picked up. It's a really fun oddity and I'm so happy that it's no longer lost media.

Господи, американская копирка Сабан Мун и близко не сравнится с оригинальной японской Сейлор Мун. Превращения ни о чем - я бы сказала ленивые, в персонажах нет изюминки и оригинальности, как в красавицах из аниме и манги - там чувствуется, что автор постаралась и внесла всю душу и любовь в свое детище. И заметно ощущается, что американские создатели делали все в спешке, чтобы заработать на своем плагиате славу, не проработали вселенную американской версии Сейлор Мун (исключение - Могучие Рейнджеры), и получилось сыро и вторично, в то время как каждая героиня из оригинальной манги обаятельные, красивые, разные по характеру, запоминаются стиль, рисовка и способности девочек, их взаимоотношения и дружба. Вот за что мы любим и по сей день Красавицу Воина Сейлор Мун!:)

Какой это к чёрту плагиат? Сами японцы дали добро американцам на лицензирование Сейлор Мун. В том числе и на производство оригинального мультсериала на основе аниме. Была собрана команда, разработана немного другая идея (более понятная жителям США) и выпущен ПИЛОТНЫЙ (!!!!) эпизод американской Сейлор Мун. Но из-за того, что затраты на производство могли быть слишком большими, проект закрыли и решили просто ограничиться дубляжем аниме.

Someone should compare Saban Moon to PGSM, seeing that both are live action version.

Saban wasn't involved in this. They were one of the companies that Toon Makers and Renaissance Atlantic tried to pitch their version of Sailor Moon to. Like DIC, Saban said No! DIC thought it was too expensive to make the show half live action and half animated. They thought it was in the best interest and much cheaper to dub Sailor Moon. Despite the bad dubbing and skipping episodes, it was infinitely better than what we could've got. Saban thought the writing and the plot was terrible. They decided to dub Dragon Ball and Gatchaman II along with Z(renamed Eagle Riders)

Venus being a blonde and maintaining her doppelganger status as Moon's double. Plus Moon wasn't perfect either. She made some mistakes, but she took responsibility for them.

The problem was how poorly written it was and I don't mind diversity myself. I think if Toon Makers, Renaissance Atlantic and Bandai America had the budget, they could've explained how Mercury ended up handicapped. How she was supposed to be the doppelganger to Moon. If I did this differently, it would've been this. I would've retained Mercury being Asian and the brains of the team. Mars being a fiery Latina, elegant and friendly. Jupiter being a friendly, levelheaded and strong athlete. Venus being a blonde like Moon and retaining her doppelganger status, but also being a poor student and naive. I would've kept it similar to how Takeuchi did her series.

The only character I like in the American version is Mercury bc I too am disabled and a redhead
