White Digivise Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 They put Sailor Moon on for a short time and quiekly removed it. My sources at the Save our Sailor Moon (sos)sight say it is because cartoon network wants more boys to tune in. That's why they put Ed, Ed, and Eddy in that time block. Supposedly cartoon network was trying to hide all the high ratings Sailor Moon was getting. More younger boy watch Hamutaro than girls so they want a nice lead into to Toonami. :huh: Even after all the ratings they were getting. How dumb can you get.

Flash Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 As long as CN plays G Gundam during Toonami, I'm happy. I'm only here for another month anyways. And I hope there's no Hamtaro bashing here! Hamtaro owns you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Ugh, what a waste of time watching that crappy dub Sailor Moon.... they only tore it to shreads and then sold the little peices back to America's unsuspecting youth. It's a horrible show. Thats why it's not on anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kei Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 [color=blue]I heard that CN might be putting SM back on sometime this month, but how much truth it holds is beyond me. And I couldn't have said that better myself, Flash. Penelope is so cute! (Please forgive my off-topicness)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 I have to agree with TN...they had the first three series on UPN's afternoon lineup a long time ago (1996), which was pretty good...but then when they moved it to the Cartoon Network I was really disappointed by the quality of the voices and fighting effects.

Sere Tuscumbia Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Ah. Sailor Moon. I used to be a Moonie. Frankly, I lost all interest when I found out what the Japanese had in plan, and then watched the American. Do you know how much they've edited? True, the children in America today are little wimps, but at least they could show it (the unedited Sailor Moon) on Midnight Run! (*sigh* If only . . . and then have Sci-Fi bring back the Japanese movies . . . ) Truthfully, Sailor Moon is a low rated porn show. If all CN could do was make it all cutesy, then it deserved to be taken off the air. If you want Sailor Moon, read the manga. It's the original, and doesn't bother making anything cutesy. It's SM at it's best. But what really grates my cheese is that they're putting American cartoons (which are so stupid you want to gag yourself with a gym sock) in Toonami. Toonami=Japanese cartoons. Not Japanese with a whole lot of American mixed in. And Hamtaro's credit sequence is the only reason I watch the show. Too cute! ^-^ Sere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anakin Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Actually, Toonami (whatever, Cartoon Network) had Sailor Moon on when Toonami first started (1998) and had SM on for 3 years. They played the series over and over again and I guess people got tired of watching it again. I really used to like it, but CN took it off since they had better (well, in my opinoin) shows to put on, like the Gundam Series and DB/Z....many others. Anyway, they do ocassionally show some Sailor Moon Movies on Fridays now since they're doing that "Friday Movie" thingy....if you must know (and you proably already know this!), almost EVERY Sailor Moon Video/DVD has been made and been out for quite some time...I know you're dissappointed, but the ratings for Sailor Moon DID go down dramatically in 2000....people just got tired of it. Anyway, I don't know whay the heck they put the Powerpuff Girls in Toonami....god, they already show it enough throught the day and plus most girls at that time of day are watching something else.....including me. Hamtaro.....I don't even want to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juu Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]I'm not really suprised that they're taking it off. The dubbing is terrible, voices...just don't fit in with the char... One lil thing that I found out about it was that Neptune and uranus are lebians in the sub, but sisters in the dub... I knew they weren't related.... Don't ask, I just found out in a lil SM conversation my friends and I were having. But... I'd rather have SM on rather than Hamtaro... *Dodges tomatoes*[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 It's kinda sad what they've done to that series. I only want them to bring the show back to Toonami for 2 reasons. 1: I never saw Moon and Chibi Moon switches ages. I heard about it, but I don't own that episode in Japanese. 2: The Sailormoon Uncensored website needs to finish their Japanese/dub comparisons.

Turkey Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Can anyone tell me how much would the box set cost? I'm tired of CN's messed up episode order. Also, the uncensored dubs are ussually impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegeta rocker Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 neptune and uranus hee hee and those very friendly soldiers in queen beryls ranks. They changed one into a girl! Sailor Moon is alright in subs terrible in dubs and just plain sorry in cartoon network. But i do kind of miss tuxedo mask....what is it with guys and roses huh?

Manic Webb Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Well, the only uncensored dubs of Sailormoon are the three movies on DVD (maybe on VSH, too). I suggest you get the subtitles of you want uncensored episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Digivise Posted August 8, 2002 Author Share Posted August 8, 2002 Oh, my God.... I post this thinking people will acyually care, and then I read what they all have to say. Thank you, thank you all for saying all this about one of my favorite shows. I've only been watching Sailor Moon for a short time now so I'm not tired of it. In fact, me and my best friend are big fans and have other friends who give all the inside scoop on what's going up. I already new about Neptune and Uranus and that's good for them, but it's no skin off my back. And yes, I have also read the comic books. I have the first six comic novels, and there fine, but it's nice to actually watch the show. So thank you, thank you all for eating the whole idea of this thread and spitting it out in my face.

Your right we jacked up on the purpose of the thread, so on topic i think that its dumb for a network to get rid of a suppossedly girl aimed toon if it's getting high ratings anyway. be it sailor moon or another show. :angel: though i doubt thats the true reason.

[/B][/QUOTE] Well, technically the thread is on topic. They just have different views then you do. You said that they took it off despite the good ratings you claim and that they wanted more "boy cartoons." We just disagree... and feel the re people ason they took it off, at least I think, is because it's an absolute horrible show. Maybe if they left it with it's original format, more boys would watch. You know, with all the lesbian inuendos involved. Boys would eat that crap right up. You also must realize that topic don't always do what you want them to do. You are posting in a public forum and people are freely responding to you. People aren't gonna do what you want them to do or say what you want them to say. It's just not gonna happen. What did you want to hear."Oh that sucks, I always watch SM, it's great"? People just don't like the show anymore and don't watch it. The ratings were obviously not that high or they wouldn't have taken it off. That would be raitional or business like. It's all about the money, not boys or girls. They have better anime to replace it with. Newer anime to American audiences. Like someone said, G Gundam. Or Ed, Edd, And Eddie. or whatever they decide to replace it with.

[QUOTE]...The ratings were obviously not high or they wouldn't have taken it off...[/QUOTE] I hate to proove you wrong, but the ratings were astoundingly high. It's just that since Sailor Moon attracts girls, and Hamutaro needs boys to survive they switched it. i did my research. You want me to proove it?

Kinetic Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 [color=darkblue][size=1] Oh, dear god (no offense to people who don't believe in God), but that's a stinkin' fan site. My site is better than that. I could post a picture of an alien I made on it, and say "Look! It's a freakin' alien!", or something, and there are still those idiots that believe it. Same here, it's a fan site, they can write down whatever they want, if it's true, or not. And yes, what TN says is true, if it had "astoundingly high" ratings, they wouldn't have taken it off, because all they want is money, and that's what things like DBZ brings them, because people watch it, no matter how little plot it has, it gives them money, and that's all there is to it.

If the ratings were high, they wouldn't have taken it off. They may be high, but obviously not high enough. Cartoon Network is a company. Companies do things for money. If it's going to take money away from them, they aren't going to do it. It's BUSINESS! It's how the world is run. If you want proof of that, watch the news sometime and stop swooning over a crappy cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 To quote Kent Brockman, "excuse my editorial laugh!" Did you just refer to SOS Save Our Sailors? That's the site that said if everyone bought plain strawberry Poptarts on the same day, new episodes of Sailormoon would be dubbed and aired. That's the site that said new episodes would be released if everyone bought Luna-P toys. Oh, and it's the site that said Sailor Uranus wasn't a lesbian.
