As much as I hate hacked-up Americanized anime, and as much as I hate cheesy, geared-towards-little-kids messages, I can't help but love this CD (I used this message in the American TV Soundtrack review too, but it had to be restated). Call me feminine if you must, but I think this CD rocks (again, from the other review). I never liked DIC's job with Sailor Moon, but I loved the Americanized songs (see also: the other American Sailor Moon review). The songs are high-spirited, somewhat emotional, and the voices are really good! (Hmm...I may not have to write ANYTHING new for this). For clips, I chose my personal favorite songs on this *28 minute* CD (ooh, I changed the time). That's right, before buying this CD, know that it's very short and you shouldn't pay any more than $15 for it (yup, from the other review). You can buy this CD online at just about any of those big sites (Anime Nation) (from the other one), and you can also find these CDs in stores. I found this one at Circuit City (ooh, different store from last time!). Just shop around your town and you'll probably find it.

Alright, now I'll write something new. "The Power of Love" is the greatest pop song ever written. You can't beat it. It's too good. This song plays during the last real episode released by DiC. In fact, the CD was released with the "Lost 17 Episodes" on Cartoon Network. However, only 2 of the 8 songs are used in those episodes. It was speculated that some of these made-up songs would feature in DiC's making of Sailor Moon S, but that won't be known until the Sailor Moon S season is released by DiC. There are also 2 Japanese songs (tracks 5 and 7). Basically, this CD is pretty different and I bet some Japanese Sailor Moon fans would love to have this but can't get it. I personally love this enlarged-single (as I call it) beyond belief and I could listen to it over and over and over and over and over and... well... y'know, over and over and over!
