Shame on you, Mixx, 10 Aug 2002
This was the second Sailor Moon manga I got, but the first volume.
(I would have liked to read them in order, but it was a present for Christmas and I think my Mom just chose it because it had the prettiest cover.)And I must say, "Mixx" have turned what is possibly the greatest manga of all time into a pile of what seems to be badly written rubbish.
It's so bad I'm worried it will put off newbies who want to get into anime and manga. Grammatical errors, spelling mistakes - so appauling that I was cringing all the way through.
Of course I understand how hard it must be to translate, but does nobody proof-read it afterwards?
"Sha has to go to school?"
Come ON! Still, if you can try not to notice the terrible errors, this is a great book to read.
In the manga, Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus are the only senshi that travel to the 30th Century, and that's what happens in this volume.
Showing yet again how the DiC dub was sliced and diced from the original - in the anime, all of the scouts go to the future and the kidnapping is left out. This volume is exciting, and like I've said about the others, quite mature, violent and scary.
To start off with, Jupiter is kidnapped in a scary and sad scene. Usagi's jealousy of Rini and Darien turns to complete despite, and Sailor Moon is also nearly killed by the dark and mysterious Sailor Pluto.
The world of the future we are shown to is black, morbid and eerily quiet.
This volume ends on a cliffhanger with Sailor Moon being taken away by Prince Diamond. Much scarier than the dub on TV.
