I would suggest people see this with the original Japanese vocals, if only because Luna sounds much cuter that way, as opposed to her haughty librarian-esque vocals in the English versionssailor moon unfinished I'm a big fan of the book and wonder if we'll ever be able to see the last ever series of sailormoon on dvd??! sailor moon stars.... does it exist yet??Being in england we've only just seen series 1 and 2, so the only way I can enjoy it is using amazon!p.s I thought this dvd was lovely. you should buy it to get your own opinion! If you dont like it, auction it! but i love sailormoon!!!!
Hearts in Ice is a beautiful, action-packed, sailor-stuffed movie that will make you cry. For an animated movie, the love story in "Hearts" is as intense as one in any German opera or Russian novel. And, the one struck by Cupid's arrow is not one of our schoolgirls or their chums - it is little Luna.
Every senshi is in this movie, with the exception of Sailor Saturn. We get to see them all work together, ALL their gorgeous transformations, and ALL their attacks. The climatic battle where they all unite is amazing, and had to be saved for a film: it is too cinematic for a thirty-minute TV episode.
The lameness of the villian and her annoying henchmen can be overlooked because of the crisp and gorgeous animation and the skilled voice talents. The winter setting is a refreshing change from the perpetual spring/summer of the series.
I do not feel I have missed out by watching the dubbed, edited version. I own a variety of both sub and dub, cut and uncut SM, so I know what I am saying when I feel nothing has been compromised here. Finally, this movie is not a short one like SM R. It is a full-length feature, so you will get your money's worth, even if you pay list price.
