This has been bugging me lately. When I was in kindergarten, we watched a claymation short called "The Wishing Well". It was about two sisters, one was nice the other wasn't. After that was kind of a blur. Does anyone know about this film?

Animated, it doesn't really look out of place. I've never seen the original version animated (the picture is from a Dirty Pair book). The scene goes by really quick, I don't know why they'd edit it. Not to mention Kei and Yuri make alot of cameos throughout Urusei Yatsura.

If they're using the R2 masters, then yes.

Ikuhara Kunihiko was originally going to direct the Sailor Moon SuperS movie. The original concept sounded very surreal and original. Sailor Uranus needed the Tailsmans to awaken Sailor Neptune. In the end, he left the project and we ended up getting an extended episode. :/

The DIC dub of Sailor Moon was released on DVD by ADV years ago. The early Saban dub of Dragon Ball Z was released on DVD by Pioneer way back in the day. The first 13 episodes of Dragon Ball and the movie were only avaliable in edited DVD form for awhile. If we're counting foreign DVDs...

Maybe it's me being a grumpy old school fan, but I can't really agree with that list. You don't even mention any of the original magical girl series. You know, the ones that weren't about magical transformations and fighting evil.

Prove it.

The whole "music costs too much" is a stupid rumor. Remember when for the longest time Funi kept saying the music was too expensive for Dragon Ball Z? Yet they managed to use the original music in Dragon Ball, their Dragon Box releases, and now Dragon Ball Kai. Even recently Sonny Strait...

1. I know this question is 10 years late, but here it goes -- why didn't the Mihoshi Special air on Toonami in the US? It aired on Toonami UK, and Toonami even used a clip of it in their commercials. Did they forget they had it or something? 2. It's my understanding Naoko Hasegawa did a series...

Correct. The actors in the commercials are the original voice talents for Usagi, Rei, Ami and Mamoru.

I recently got back into Tenchi. I watched it back when it aired on Toonami. I really love the original OVAs and the Mihoshi Special. Universe is really good, although the animation is a serious step-down (which is understandable). Tenchi in Tokyo is a mess. I appreciate they were trying to do...

Not surprising. Alot of older series dealt with pretty depressing stuff. It wasn't uncommon for an episode, or series to not have a happy ending.

Looks good. Although I'd prefer an MW OVA or movie. (an animated movie that is. one that actually FOLLOWS the manga and doesn't suck)

I think it's dumb, but we aren't the only country that does it. Alot of French and Italian dubbed series edit out kanji as well. Sailor Moon actually didn't edit alot of kanji. That was the early DIC days. By the time the '17 lost episodes' showed up, they stopped caring. CWI translated kanji...

Are those guys suppose to be Duke and Kouji? :/
