NOT just for Kids

This series is great. I admit that as a kid I did watch the americanized version of the show, and I liked it then. When I heard that the uncut version of the show was going to be released, I knew I had to have it. After watching the original, I fell in love with this series all over again. Noted for the strength of its plot, honest treatment of romance and realistic acceptance of death as a consequence of a righteous fight, this series is anything but JUST for kids. Keep in mind that I say "JUST for kids." I am not implying that all adults must watch this. All I'm saying is that you shouldn't avoid this series simply because someone said it immature. (P.S. The original doesn't have a "sailor moon says..." in it.)
