Some time ago, DiC granted
the North American viewers a way to watch the extremely popular anime,
Bishoujio Senshi Sailormoon. By changing things here and there,
such as the names, and lowering it to a G-rated show (the anime is around
PG-13), Sailor Moon was born in North America.
DiC left out some of the
episodes, cut the show, took out all the cursing and bad lanuage, fixed
the transformation scenes a little, blah blah.. And the names were changed
to..
| Japanese name: |
Anime Name: |
Why they named them that: |
| Tuskino Usagi |
Serena |
Probably because Serenity
- Serena |
| Chiba Mamoru |
Darien |
? |
| Mizuno Ami |
Amy Anderson |
Ami to Amy. Easy to understand
why. |
| Hino Rei |
Raye |
Again, the two names were
very simalar. |
| Kino Makoto |
Lita |
I think one of Jupiter's moons
was called Leda. |
| Anio Minako |
Mina |
Minako to Mina. Minako is
also called Mina sometimes. |
| Tuskino Chibi Usa |
Rini |
Short version of Serena. (Ser-reeny) |
| Ten'oh Haruka |
Corinn |
? |
| Kaiou Michiru |
Nersissa |
? |
| Meiou Setsuna |
Celia |
? |
Anyway, DiC only showed
up to Sailor Moon R, but rumor has it they will be showing Sailor Moon
S. (They have advertised Uranus, Neptune and Pluto dolls) They have also
showed Sailor Chibimoon (Chibi Usa/Rini).
