My little cousin loves this show and I never have and probably never will. This show just shows how horrible American translated anime is. If you ever watched an anime like DBZ or Bleach with the Japanese subtitles translating what there actually saying and then watched the American translated ones they air on networks like Cartoon Network then you know what I am talking about. American tv cuts out or dumbs down a lot of the dialog I may actually like this show if I ever watched the Japanese version. This type of anime makes me cringe when I watch it. I even like Pokemon ok if its not the Crappy American version. Oh and I like the comment on the end about being an anime addict since i happen to be one and a Manga addict. Good review keep up the good work

Also caught quite a few episodes and thank god X-Men and Spiderman were also on the list of Saturday morning cartoons to save my balls...
Overall I do recall later episodes to have SICK Story and plots about some bad guys turning good, interesting romance but hell I am OLDER now so I think I was wrong...Anime is fantastic and I LOVE your End Sailor advice.... It is a drug !!!
Great Job !

Thanks for uploading this in better quality. :)
There are a lot of funny bits in this.
for example, I really like the short clip showing the Live Action SM series on a TV and going "Oh God! Not that abomination!" and then showing the animated series and going "That abomination.". Hilarious.
Also the reference to the tacked on public service messages and how they had little to no connection to what was actually shown in the episode.I could have wished for a clearer reason why the american version sucks compared to the japanese version. Sure, the japanese voices fit better, but I think a clip showing a mistranslation (the subtitles say one thing, the dub another) or outright censoring in the US version.
Props to your little brother for doing you as a kid too!

This was a pretty good review. I hope you do more reviews about other things you grew up on other than games. I think "...stuff I grew up on" would give you a lot more depth, even if you prefer doing game reviews.
And that was your BROTHER? That poor kid... Well, maybe he got something good out of it or has a favor hanging over your head.

I'm ashamed to say that this was actually one of the first animes I was exposed to as a kid. I remember taping this show with my VCR since it came on so early. Thankfully I dropped this show like a bad habit when I accidentally taped a show I never heard of, called Dragon Ball Z. ;)
Heh Heh.........."Failure Scout", good one.

Sailor Moon... the one show that made me rush home from school to watch, that made me go through dozens upon dozens of vhs tapes to preserve, that made me buy freakin' fansubs of the original show and imported and bootlegs soundtracks, that introduced me to animes in general which would later become a complete obsession of mine. Ya... Loved it. Still do.
One thing to add... Original series > DiC poop censored dub =/

I feel so unmanly now, I actually watched this show as a kid. Thankfully I would always wash it out of my memory with hefty doses of the Batman cartoon and Ren & Stimpy. Good video though, Goggles.
