|    200 Days of Sailor Moon - Episode 140    |

      From: chriskern99@gmail.com              Episode 140 - We love mini-skirts! Fashionable warriors              The dub must have had a fun time with this episode, given its       homosexual overtones and seeing Fish Eye without a shirt (they had       already said FE was a woman in the dub).              This episode has the second balloon MotD. I especially like when the       Tux theme starts playing and he looks around, then the rose comes out       and deflates him.              In the early days of Sailor Moon fandom in the US, information on the       series beyond the 65 dubbed episodes was hard to come by. Only a       handful of episodes had been fansubbed, and hardly anyone had seen S       or SuperS (particuarly SuperS, since it wasn't considered as good).       There were a few very short video clips floating around the net of the       original, though. One of them (for some reason) was the scene from       this episode where Fish Eye gets mad at the assistants and tears off       the clothes they're fitting on him. Somehow the explanation developed       that this showed a scene where Fish Eye took off his shirt to prove he       was male, and that nobody in the show knew he was a guy before this       scene. Pure fiction, but it's a good example of how rumors can arise       in a fandom where there's a large amount of material in another       language and no translations. This rumor was quite pervasive and       continued on long after VKLL released the SuperS subs. I remember that       when the dubbing of SuperS was announced, some people were saying       things like "They can change FE to a woman in the dub -- as long as       they cut that one scene where he takes off his shirt to prove he's a       guy."              Fish Eye's second episode. TE 9, HE 2, FE 2.              -Chris              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
