Not As Remembered, Still Good

Verified Purchase:Yes
I haven't gotten to this part 2, yet, but if it's like part 1, here's what I'm seeing and wrote for that:
Ok - I know that NOTHING is ever as I remember it, but so far - though I still enjoy the show - I have been nothing but irked by the new English dubbing and few dialogue changes. I realize I am not an anime 'purist' but, dangit, the main character should have remained "Serena" in English when not Sailor Moon, NOT Usagi. When she transforms the addition (or restoring) of "Make Up!" to the end of "Moon Prism Power" is ridiculous and jarring. Tuxedo Mask in civilian form referring to "Usagi" as "Bun Head" instead of "Meatball Head" is loathsome (the latter makes MUCH more sense). Though I know that she is "The Pretty Guardian," its restoration to her announcement before she faces the enemy ("I am the Pretty Guardian, Sailor Moon! And in the name of the moon, I will punish you." or whatever) makes this even more clumsy than she herself is. The new voice actors are much higher pitched and more whiny - which I realize Serena is, anyway - but it makes Luna & Serena less authoritative and less powerful. And I hope (Oh I hope!) that the original 90's song & lyrics comes back instead of the restored nonsensical lyrics of what we currently have. Sad to say, in my opinion of course, there were some great corrections made (though, yes, a few flaws (I look forward to the restored episodes!)) when this was first introduced to the American audience. Bring back the 90's Sailor Moon with all of the original voice talent and dialogue/names, but with restored episodes! But this...this I will continue to watch and hope it gets better! Who knows...maybe I myself will change, too. I'm only on Episode 3.
However...as a review/recommendation (thanks for reading to the end and enduring my rants!), here's what I offer:
If you're looking for nostalgia of a great TV show from the 90's - prepare to be challenged. If you're interested in watching something similar in a new way (and apparently more faithful to the original Japanese Anime), go for it! It's still Sailor Moon, after all! :)

This delightful release from the classic anime series Sailor Moon includes the first collection of episodes from the show's first season, following the titular heroine as she and her team of Sailor-Soldiers fight the forces of evil.

Excellent Flexibility

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for our local food pantry and it has been operating wonderfully! It is the perfect convertible for us as we are not always sure what foods we will be given to house before we send them out. We love the fact that we can have either a refrigerator or a freezer when needed. This is an amazing appliance!

I am always appreciative of the ability to find and use genuine toner cartridges for my copier/printer so that it may run at its best. However, I acknowledge that it is probably more expensive than it needs to be.

I really enjoy the Chromecast. We have a 'smart' TV, but this makes it SO much more simple to watch our videos and Netflix as well as to surf the web. I await more compatible programs and apps.

I was thrilled that Targus had one of these; I do so enjoy the Targus brand. It is a quality product for an affordable price and we needed it immediately so it was nice to have it in stock. It was immensely easy to set up and the compatibility with my computer is wonderful.

This HP LaserJet print cartridge gives you high-resolution printing, allowing you to create better work.
Approximate yield per cartridge?
I would like to know the approximate paper yield per ink cartridge this and the color cartridges have.
Approximate yield is 800-1000 typical pages.
