Sailor Moon Manga: The Naoko Takeuchi Collection?

[MariaTenebre]

Florida may ban Sailor Moon, if it hasn’t already

Unfortunately with the Christian Theocrat idiots running that state. I just hope our freedom of speech laws will prevent that from happening.

They fall within the category of Integrationism. They believe the teachings and principles of the Catholic faith should be the basis of public law and policy. They also reject other Christian denominations and believe that the Catholic faith should be the dominant religion and dominant in civil and religious matters.

Many Christians do not agree with them or their views.

I was flipping through volumes 4 and 5 of the Naoko Takeuchi collection in a store and noticed a few things that were changed from previous editions.
For starters, during the Black Moon Arc, Sailor Moon was given a new title, Scout of Sanctity, Guardian of Mystery, Miracles. Now she's...

Spoiler: show

This affects her introduction in the Infinity Arc. Also, is Tellu's name meant to be spelled like that?

Spoiler: show

The Triangle Isles is back to...

Lastly, I remember it annoyed people that the Eternal edition used "hostia", now it's...

Seems like this release is one step forward, three steps back.

I wish I'd remembered to check whether the dialogue about Uranus being a man and a women had been changed.

are we ever going to have a translation that isn't just slightly off in some way...

tangentially, there was a fanlation of tokyo mew mew that was sooo much better than the tokyopop one, and it's borderline impossible to find online now

i think people need to accept that 1:1 translations aren’t always necessary

I just want them to make a choice and stick with it at this point.

I'll be very curious to see what happens when they release the Dream Arc. I'm wondering if the changes forced on the Eternal movies dub will be likewise mandatory for this translation.
Sailor Moon seems to be bound by way more red tape than most.

Or red ribbons, a la those seen during Usagi's transformation to Sailor Moon.

Had another look in the bookstore.
- The explanation of Uranus being both a man and a women hasn't changed since the eternal editions.
- Uranus is once again "Guardian of the Heavens" where the eternal editions had changed it to "Guardian of the Skies".
- Haruka's nickname for Usagi and Chibiusa has reverted to...

I know. With each translation we seem to get less...translation.
I wonder if, in 10 years, Naoko will just toss the Japanese version at us and shout: "Why can't you understand that?!"

I don't think it'd be that extreme, tho - more likely that it'd only be fully in romaji, hence you'd still see it in English alphabets instead of kana/kanji.

I wouldn't be surprised if we reverted back to Tuxedo Kamen, Sailor Senshi, and Ginzuishou.

Still better than "Takisido Kamen" & "Sera Senshi," tho.

 

[SnowWolf]

Can't wait for the next arc where Palla Palla unleashes Tora-no-Me-chan and uses her Gyaku-Tama.
I joke but that's what the Eternal movie dub went with.

Don't forget "Bishoujo Senshi" instead of "Pretty Guardian"

 

[Rika-Chicchi]

Don't forget "Bishoujo Senshi" instead of "Pretty Guardian"

And then instead of "Guardian" vs "Soldier", fans would argue whether it should be spelled as "Bishoujo", "Bishojo", or "Bishōjo". lol

So I put all the preoders of said manga on my AmazonCA Wishlist. One of them will be out near my birthday. (July 23rd)
Friday, plan to order Vol. 6 and the OverWatch book to arrive at my place this weekend.

Hadn't gotten a chance to read them, but Vol. 5 ended with Chibi Usa left for dead due to posessed Hotaru/Mistress 9 takes her Silver Crystal. I think the next volume might wrap up Infinity Arc. Might either have Chibi Usa's Picture Diary or the Hearts of Ice/S movie included in said volume.

Ponder if Vol. 10 will have the Paraell Sailor Moon story.
