Those of you dubbies out there should try to find yourselves a fansub of this series.you're missing out! My rating: 10 out of 10.A series of brutal murders, each sharing a signature MO, takes place across Malaysia and Indonesia. Themes that are covered in this season are friendship & kindness, death & sorrow, rebirth & reincarnation, and the fact that love can triumth over all. There is also more death and violence in the original. The biggest and most noticeable change is that in the dub Uranus and Neptune are cousins, however, in the original, they are lesbians. For those of you out there who have only seen the dub, and not the Japanese version, you are missing quite a bit.
The relationship between Uranus and Neptune is beautiful, and is probably one of the reasons this series has fared so well. Chibi-usa also plays a much bigger part here, too, as she befriends Hotaru and awakens the truth within. This series marks the debut of Sailor Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn. Unfortunately, she keeps this to herself, until the end of the season, when all of her sadness comes pouring out. Rei has a dream of the oncoming silence, and witnesses death all around her. Surprisingly, this one is much more mature than Return, Classic, and even SuperS.
This is the best series in Sailor Moon, with Sailor Stars in a close second, Classic third, and SuperS and Return last. Fireflies are associated with spirits of the dead, which allude to her power of death/rebirth.
Hotaru Tomoe is loosely translated as "Firefly of Saturn" ("hotaru" means "firefly", while "to" means "earth" and is derived from "dosei"-"Earth Star" which describes Saturn). Haruka Tenoh means "Distant Uranus" ("haruka" means "distant", while "ten" and "o" mean "sky" and "king" and are derived from "tenosei"-"Sky King Star" which describes Uranus) which alludes to her powers coming from the sky/wind. Michiru Kaioh means "Neptune Rising" ("michiru" means "rising", while "kai" and "o" mean "sea" and "king" and are derived from "kaiosei"-"Sea King Star" which describes Neptune), which alludes to her powers coming from the ocean. Setsuna Meioh is loosely translated as "Moment of Pluto", which alludes to her power over time ("setsuna" means "moment", while "mei" and "o" mean "dark" and "king" and are derived from "meiosei"-"Dark King Star" which describes Pluto). This pertains to Venus being the goddess of love. Minako Aino reads "Beautiful Child of Love" ("mi" means "beauty" and "ko" means child, while "ai" means "love"). Makoto Kino translates as "Tree Spirit Makoto" ( "ki" means "tree" and "spirit"), and her power is control over nature (mostly trees/lightning). The word "rei" could be translated as "beautiful", "companion", "spirit", or "soul" (the latter fits her "Fire Soul" cry), but the name "Rei" is always written in Katakana, which suggests that it doesn't have any Japanese meaning. Rei Hino's surname relates to fire ("hi" means "fire"), which reveals her power to control fire. Ami Mizuno reads "Asian Beauty of Water" ("A" means "Asian" and "mi" means "beauty", while "mizu" means "water"), which reveals her power to control water. Chibiusa is a loose term of "little Usagi" ("chibi" means "little" or "mini"), she being Usagi's daughter and Sailor MINI-Moon. the name of Usagi Tsukino is loosely translated as "Rabbit of the Moon" ("usagi" means "rabbit", and "tsuki" means "moon").This pertains to a Japanese folktale about a rabbit that can be seen in the Moon, and also to her moon-based powers. The Sailor Senshi's civilian names relate to their superhuman roles:
