First of all, this is a very good show and though it is in Japanese, it does have English Subtitles. First of all, the edits are not here so be glad about that. The content that was taken away in the US version is all here and all this violence stuff you hear about, I just want to say that is isn't even that bad. Actually, I find it not bad at all. The spoiler part I was referring to involves deaths of the sailor scouts(or senshi, which is what they are called in the Japanese version) but we know that every time they die, they keep coming back to life. The swearing, it's not even close enough to PG13. The swear words are very minimal and the worst you would hear is the B word. The swearing level is just as much as a PG movie, not a PG13 movie, but a PG movie(yes, PG movies can even have the B word too). The gay and lesbian characters you hear about isn't anything wrong either. No sex scenes or them kissing each other with gays/lesbians either. I don't see whats wrong with that. The so-called "nudity" isn't even close to nudity. It's just body lines from transformations. They're are nudity scenes but a very few, and the look a lot like how a Barby doll would look, which is something children(mainly young girls) play with. There are no sex scenes in it either. I don't see why this is 18+ in Canada and the Japanese version was never shown on US TV, only edited version was(the one thats TVY7, it was never TV14 or TVPG in the US). The North American DVDs of S and SuperS(seasons 3 and 4) went uncut like the Japanese version with the exception of the English dialog, but other uncut stuff is there. Seasons 1 and 2 did not go uncut on DVD on the North American version, so you won't be able to watch seasons 1 and 2 with English dialog and uncut at the same time. As far as dark themes go, well let me tell you this. A lot of Disney movies that are rated G and PG have dark themes too, usually towards the end of them. The dark themes in Sailormoon are just like the dark themes in Disney movies and like Disney movies, they also don't come in until the end of a season.
Now I said the review will have slight spoilers and I intend to keep it that way. All I'm going to say is that the story involves a girl who is given magical powers and becomes Sailormoon herself. The rest, I won't spoil.
Like I said, I don't see why its rated 13+ on the uncut or 18+ in Canada. I think this is something kids should watch. Should a kid watch it? YES! This is highly appropriate for children. If a kid can watch a Disney movie, then they can watch this, uncut.
