The VCD format was not as popular in North America as it was in parts of Asia. Some episodes which fans have tracked down were on VCDs. Though it’s hard to tell exactly what was dubbed by Speedy Video all of the episodes and clips I found were from Sailor Moon R which suggests this might be all they did. Speedy Video is well known in the Dragonball Z fan community for the terrible dub of that show which they made. This means that the quality of the dub is, in a word, terrible. It does not appear that any of the actors are actually native English speakers but rather that they speak English as second language. The dub was done by a company named Speedy Video which is based in Malaysia. As it turns out there was actually a total other English dub made by Speedy Video! Though information about this has been around in the fan community for a while, I had never heard about it until just a few days ago when I saw posting about it on Twitter.
#SAILOR MOON R EPISODE 1 ENGLISH DUB SERIES#
Recently the series was dubbed into English again by Viz Media. There’s another English dub of Sailor Moon by Speedy Video and it’s pretty terribleīack in the 1990s Sailor Moon was dubbed into English by DiC and later seasons were dubbed by Cloverway. Fans have mixed feelings on these episodes but I always thought they were fantastic. An is revived and her and Ail go off to live in the lonely depths of space. Sailor Moon heals the tree, leaving nothing but a little sprout. Who knew he was actually Mamoru? But wait… how are they always seen together? The Moonlight Knight is just a spirit born from Mamoru’s desire to protect Usagi despite his blocked memories. We then learn the true identity of the Moonlight Knight. What a scandalous Luke and Leia twincest affair they have! The aliens fought for the tree but it turned out it was love that nourished it! What a hilarious misunderstanding that resulted in many deaths and injuries. They are seen coming from the same pod, which means they are not only siblings but in a way twins. Ail and An were part of a species of aliens born from the tree on a distant planet. The Makaiju communicates and tells us it’s origin story. It kills An, causing her and Ail to realise how much they love each other, but is then cut short of killing Ail too when it hears Sailor Moon’s call to stop.
The seemingly evil tree has trashed a building and is attacking everything. Episode 59, True Love Awakens: The Makai Tree’s Secret, wraps up the story of the Ail and An.
