I had seen the first episode several times before with... *sigh* that OTHER dub! and holy shit where do I even begin? You know, it really is bad when the major problems with your show can be spotted in the first six minutes... fortunately this show had none, it only made the poor editing of the first translation all the more noticeable when compared to the original.

One of my major problems with the show at first was the character of "Molly" so naturally when Usagi's best friend Naru showed up I feared for the worst... however, the only reaction I had was DIC! WHAT DID YOU DO TO THIS CHARACTER!!! Molly was fucking annoying as all god damn hell and, while I get that she was rewritten to be less critical and more "supportive" of Serena when she messes up, truth is that's not what she ended up being as she came off as a completely inconsiderate, materialistic and ear bleeding annoying nit wit! Naru on the other hand? She is so much better as her choice in voice actor and direction makes her far easier to listen to and the overly critical way she's written makes her even more supportive as it shows her concern for her best friend saying stuff like "Can't you see she's upset? Not like she's failed any worse than usual." instead of the oh so classic and thought provoking "She can't study right now! She needs to go to the mall!"... Really DIC?... Really? -_-

Anyway, that's my rant on what the fuck wads over at DIC did to what was supposed to be a likable and well written character so without further delay, on to point two, that being episode two... which is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT episode two from that OTHER dub. Yeah, to my surprise the original dub skipped over the second episode and just went onto episode three leaving the actual episode two in the dust. Though needless to say I can kind of understand why after seeing a certain scene that I shall not repeat but come on DIC! You could have edited it out right? Just like you did with Usagi's younger brother and all of what made the original show great... right?

So yeah, in conclusion if you are wanting to watch Sailor Moon in english dub form go with this new version that faithful translates the original show and let us please all just forget about... *sigh* that OTHER dub!

There are a fair amount of people who are so nostalgically attached to the original dub that they think that anything new is crap. There are actually people on Facebook that will either complain about Crystal or complain about the VIZ re-dub of the original anime. I personally like both Crystal & the VIZ re-dub of the original anime.
