The lost episodes of 'Sailor Moon'

Does anyone know anything about the 'lost episodes' of 'Sailor Moon' that were supposed to air in the US? I read on a forum that there are a few episodes that were never dubbed and thus never broadcast. True or just a myth? If they're real, how can I find them?

I remember hearing something about this! There were a few episodes that never made it to the US cause they were considered too 'controversial' or had content not suited for kids. You might find them subbed online but not dubbed.

Yep, you're right. Several episodes of 'Sailor Moon' weren't dubbed for the US audience due to various reasons like cultural differences and censorship. Episodes like the original first season episodes 45 and 46 didn’t air in the US because of their content. You can find fan-subs of these episodes on sites dedicated to old anime.

I think it's mostly a myth tbh. Seems like rumors spread around to keep the hype of 'lost episodes' going.

Actually, it's pretty true. Some episodes were indeed never dubbed mainly due to content issues that clashed with Western broadcasting standards. For example, episodes featuring LGBTQ themes or heavy violence were cut. You can sometimes find the raw Japanese versions online, but they can be hard to track down. Checking anime forums or specific Sailor Moon fan sites might help!

It's all part of a bigger conspiracy to hide the truth from us! The lost episodes probably contain secrets the elites don't want us to see!!

I KNOW! It's so frustrating that we didn't get the complete series here. I had to watch the Japanese versions with subtitles. It's not the same without the dub voices, but better than nothing!

Sure just surf the dark web and ask for 'lost Sailor Moon' episodes. Not like you'll get a virus or anything.
