WHAT SAILORMOON IN AMERICA COULD HAVE BEEN....*ominous music*
http://www.usinternet.com/users/kyledrake/sm/sabantrailer.avi
What is this monstrosity, you ask? Well, back when SM was first being imported to the states, several animation companies were in the bid for the distribution rights -- DiC and Saban the most prominent among them. This was the trailer they pitched to the company for their version of the show.
While DiC eventually won the war and gave us the botched-up saccarine-injected dub we all know and love today, Saban's original idea was to basically trash the show and RE-ANIMATE all the characters into a whole new 'americanized' cartoon that just vaguely resembled the anime (with Sailormoon bearing an uncanny resemblance to She-ra).
Oh, and if that wasn't evil enough, just check out the live-action Power Ranger-esque cut scenes. After seeing this, even the most bloodthirsty of anime purists will be seeing dubs in a whole new light.
(Heh, I randomly found this on an anti-SM site, so... you've been warned fans.)

I... I... I have no words to explain the pain, anguish, and desperation to remove my organs responsible for sight and hearing that I feel right now.

Yeah, apparently someone from Saban got a hold of the tape and was showing it to people at an anime con...and some thoughtful person decided to film it for all the internet to see. I must admit, something this absurd ought to be saved for posterity.

Heh...
I suppose for once, I should be thankful for my crappy dialup connection. If I had something better, I might have watched that, and I might have had to go injure people.
But, it's 10.9 megs, and I don't feel like waiting four hours to watch it. ^^

I think we all need to get down on our knees right now and pray. We should pray something like "Jesus, thank You. Thank You that this monstrosity did not come along and lay waste to the United States and kill us all. Thank You."

I just had. to. watch. it.
This kind of monstrosity of unimaginable proportions cannot possibly be for real. A parody. Satire. Black comedy. Anything.
I've even lost my will to scream hysterically in all caps with exclamation marks and the number one.

That was way past cool. I'm totally serious.
Saban gets +10. +10 what, I have no idea. But, nonetheless, +10.

Wow....they drew Sailormoon as they would 'Jem and the Holograms' or 'She-Ra'? >_<;; Wouldn't have been that bad if it weren't for the silly song and actresses in it. What's real ppl doing in it? It just doesn't make sense at all...
