Hi everyone! I wanted to make a thread about this other American Sailor Moon series that is different from the ToonMakers version of Sailor Moon called Team Angel. I have also posted about this on The Galaxy Cauldron Forum as well. Team Angel is a 1998 live action series that was supposed to replace the ToonMakers version of Sailor Moon and be shown on TV, but it was never released. There is a video about the Team Angel series that shows the opening and what the show looks like. If you have seen the Team Angel video, what do you think about the series? and do you think the show should have been on TV or no?
Here is a link to the article about Team Angel: https://kotaku.com/we-tried-to-uncover-the-long-lost-american-sailor-moon-1827695456

I think if the anime hadn't been localised there would be a lot less anime fans around compared to what we have, it along with DBZ really helped with getting it out into the western market. I was a little too young to see Sailor Moon when it was initially released (I'm a CCS baby haha) but I have watched the first season.
If this live action version was released instead then I doubt as many people would have tried other anime in the future, as well as less anime being translated for the child audience.

Holy crap. That was the 90s for you. It would fit with some of the shows airing at the time. I'm glad we got the bad 90s dub instead.

Yeah that is true and I agree that there wouldn't be a lot of Anime fans if Team Angel ever aired on TV, plus a lot people won't even know about the Magical Girl series that are made in Japan either. It would have been terrible if no one knows about Anime and it would have been hard for some people in the West to watch a lot of Anime series that are not translated into English or any other Western language.
