Wow. That's all I can say.
For those of you who don't know, the original Japanese version of the first season of Sailormoon clocked out at 46 episodes. Episode 45 saw Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and Mars die in battle against the D.D. Girls. At the end of the episode, their souls comforted Sailor Moon, reminding her to carry on. Episode 46 saw Sailor Moon imbroiled in a bitter battle with evil Prince Endymion, who choked her, tied her up, and literally kicked the crap out of her, before Sailor Moon finally purified him. Beryl then lobbed a rock at the both of them, which shattered, stabbing the prince several times. He took out Beryl with a rose, he dies, Beryl fuses with Metallia, and then Beryl shoots Sailor Moon with ice. Sailor Moon emerges as Princess Serenity, and with the aid of the dead Senshis' souls, blasts the evil queen(s) to kingdom come. But this uses up all of the princess's energy, and she dies, wishing for everyone to go back the way they were. They all come back to life, clueless about the events that transpired over the last 46 episodes.
This is an awful lot of dark to take in, so DiC decided to chop the two episodes up, then re-paste them together as one 25 minute episode.
In the DiC version, everyone gets "kidnapped", Prince "Darien" gets saved, then "re-captured", then Sailor Moon just gets a big bad boo boo, and everyone awakens all peaches and cream in the morning.
I could go on about what ELSE got cut, but I'm taking up too much of your time as is. Oops! Sorry...
Anyways, here are the Japanese and English cuts of the battle with Beryl. See how many changes you can count just in this tiny clip!

I remember snaggin the only copy of the japanese season1 at a science fiction convention for 80 bucks...and watching i realize how much i missed out on due to DiC...I loved the DiC rendition, but the japanese is far superior and I feel complete as a fan knowing the real deal.
Wow... Dic... That sucked. I grew up with it too, but after re-watching it in Japanese, I like that better. With the dub, the voice actors/actress's seem a little emotionless. But that's just my opinion.
Hmm, just simply because I grew up with it, I think I like the English dialoge better. Not because I can't understand japanese, but after reading it and then hearing the other, it sounds better. Oh yes, and are you saying they never showed the fight between QueenBarrell and Serena? If it were me, and they just went straight to the doom tree in SailorMoonR, it would have been very confusing. Like, ok were fighting one enemy but were fighting another also.
