i was because in the manga they are all guys and used to be guardians on the moon and were the 'lovers' of the soilor scouts ....


Um... well, that was only in the manga; in the anime, Zoicite and Kunzite were lovers. I consider that to be more relevant, in this case, since he was only changed to a woman in the English version of the anime. And, in fact, that was the reason for it. They had to have some way to cover up the fact that these two male characters are obviously romantically involved, so they changed Zoicite into a woman. As feminine as his mannerisms are, it would almost be believable... if it weren't for the fact that he is still broad-shouldered and flat-chested. ^^;

As for being upset by it... well, I can't say that I particularly am, since it's been many years since I watched the "Sailor Moon" dub, and I never intend to do so again. *shrug* Changes like that unfortunately seem to be a necessary evil. I hope that this will someday not be the case.

On a completely unrelated note (or not?), I like your signature. Angel has always been one of my favourite RENT characters. ^^

heheh it was totally obvious that fish eye was male in the dub.. I mean there was an episode with a whole SCENE (he was with a clothing designer) and they actually had him standing there topless
it was so blatant it was like a slap in the face..

You have to admit though, they did a convincing job of presenting Zoicite as a woman. I didn't even think twice about "her" lack of breasts. xd


LOL! yeah they even did a gender change on fish eye? Sadly I didn't know any of this till I went to some sailormoon fan site with all the uncensored things on it. Yeah the American dub version of Neptune and Uranus was pretty nasty. THey made them out of character and made it even seem like incest >.<. Anywho yeah they had Neptune said mean things to Usagi like, Meat ball alert?! But yeah, Clover and Dic the company are eviiil..

I was even more irritated by that than I was by them being made into cousins! At least I can understand why they would feel the need to cover up Haruka and Michiru's relationship, regardless of whether I agree with it or not. But what was the purpose of changing Michiru's personality? In the original, she was only complimentary of the younger girls (particularly Usagi), so why they would suddenly have her make comments like that is beyond me.

was anyone else upset that in the show Sailor Moon they made Zoisite a girl?

i was because in the manga they are all guys and used to be guardians on the moon and were the 'lovers' of the soilor scouts ....

did they explain in the series why they were bad on earth?
Don't even get me started on the dub. That's just beyond horrific. stare Never did care for the dub. (And I'm guessing you're a Gackt fan? xd )

They just made the Dark Kingdom's people minions in the anime, less personal I guess... plus Zoicite & Kunzite were in a relationship in the anime, I guess it was just a different way of doing character development~ But we all remember how they made Fish Eye a girl too, they just don't want little kids thinking being gay is okay because we all know if it was actually accepted the world would be thrown outta whack... um ya, just a little bitter but at least Naoko likes homo's she made 2 of her senshi that way... heart

Zoisite and Fisheye weren't the only one's to get gender changes. Don't forget about Zirconia. Except she went the other way and became a man in English.

About the Shitennou being lovers of the Senshi: I thought the only basis for that was the artbook picture...


I don't think Cloverleaf ever said Zirconia was man or woman in SuperS... They let the audience figure her out. She had a woman voice actor though.

Read Code Name wa Sailor V mrgreen There's hints in that of at least Kunzite x Venus-hime

I read in a Sailor Moon manga in one of the small interviews of Naoko, she said that the anime was most controlled by men, she had say but not much. They most made some of the big changes in the anime. She kept true to her ideas in the manga which she wrote for women and the anime was targeted for both men and women... not sure if that helps but thats what I read.
