"Gift Certificates, Make Up!" Pioneer To Delay Dubbed Versions Pioneer Entertainment has changed the release of the 3 dubbed animated "Sailormoon" features to the year 2000. (We expect a release early in the year.) Suggested retail prices have been set at US$14.98 for the VHS releases and $29.98 for the DVD releases. The subtitled VHS versions are expected to be released as scheduled in August. We believe that the delay is because of additional commitments made by the parties involved. This change could impact Pioneer's overall sales as November/December is the number one sales period for Home Video Releases. The change might increase the sales of other Pioneer releases for the Holidays with "Sailormoon" left slugging it out in the normally dead (but less competitive) January/February period. As with the delayed "Sailor Moon Role-Playing Game and Resource Book," the SOS advocates fans preorder the releases or makeup their own gift certificates to give as presents for the Holidays. We've been told that this is the proposed cover art for the "Sailormoon-R" animated feature VHS release scheduled for August 10.

Well now, here's a twist..... Calling Concerned Parents! We know you're out there! We've gotten enough mail from you! (Thanks for all your kind compliments!) But now we may need you to be ready to speak up--in public! On TV shows, in letters to editors and stuff like that! You see, we're expecting the "Sailormoon-S" television series to get dubbed and with it there may be some unneeded controversy concerning the unsaid relationship between Haruka & Michiru. Did you know that there are some people out there who still fear that TV shows help determine one's sexual orientation? We had no idea! It's shocking! ;) Even worse, there are parents who actually want children to be totally unprepared and ignorant of the world! They don't want television to help prepare children for the world. They also want to control what you pay for; they want control of cable television and all forms of media. We do not think that this is a good idea. Mind you, this isn't even about violence. (There aren't many guns in "Sailormoon"--that's one of the reasons why we watch it!) Do you feel the same way as we do? We hope so!

Hey, wait a minute..... Just Whose Odango Is This?
