That’s due to the fact that the original Sailor Moon series was originally animated on film then transferred to digital videotape in post-production. We can’t get Sailor Moon any better than 4K, if Viz Media happens to acquire the original film negatives! (Likely not going to happen due to constraints.)

If you want to learn more, I suggest you watch the Technology Connections video on motion picture film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVpABCxiDaU (He also mentions about Star Trek Voyager, and the 4k remaster of the Wham music video from the original film prints.)

Do they have specific subtitles for the English and Japanese versions? I hate when they have the same subtitles for both languages.

I would happily pass on a cropped release! Those are the worst.

I agree ! I just got mine today in the mail and oh my it’s so beautiful! The original viz release had so manystrabge visual issues especially if the screen was plane. Artifacts everywhere. This looks wonderful and it’s like watching it new. I hope it’s a short wait to get the rest of the series redone

I just received mine today. Watched a couple of sequences in a few episodes on this AND the 2014 release…. Night and day indeed! It almost brought a tear to my eye… even the audio issues in some of the episodes particularly in the Japanese audio track are fixed. It’s bittersweet for me because even though I’m happy to finally have a release worthy of the series, I am also very upset that it wasn’t released like this the first time around. In my opinion, all those who stuck with the series and purchased all of the previous release should be reimbursed or receive at the very least a discount of some kind if they wish to replace it. Viz should be ashamed of themselves for this fiasco and at least an acknowledgement and an apology should be given. For those of you lucky enough not to have bought the first releases, feel confident that this one is worth the money. Congratulations on not being scammed.

There are several new Sailor Moon retail collabs which are not re-re-re-releases of the manga or anime, and I’m surprised Adam isn’t covering them even though they’re available outside of Japan. I guess he just doesn’t see the appeal.
