Raise your hand if you remember that anime from the '90s called Sailor Moon -- now put that hand down and fire up Hulu if you want to see the show's female warriors kick ass on screen again. Apparently, the company recently cut a deal to stream a remastered version of all 200 Sailor Moon episodes, full and uncensored. Yes, that means you'll finally see all the elements that were cut during the series' first run on US TV. In addition to all the existing episodes, the deal will also include the Sailor Moon remake that'll start airing later this year, three feature films and various specials.
That's right. When the original Sailor Moon ran in the U.S., they cut out any scenes the deemed inappropriate. The original series had a lesbian couple (Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune) but the animation couple decided to make them cousins instead so they wouldn't get uproar and complaints from families back in the day.
Overall, I'm planning to wait for the anime to premier to judge whether or not it'll be good. I can hear it now just thinking about it from the preview I saw over the weekend and when I checked my Tumblr the other day, there were already huge arguments between people on why they shouldn't diss it because someone doesn't like it.
