Sailor Moon in Malaysia refers to the Sailor Moon anime series translated into Malaysian English and Malay which aired in Malaysia.
Translation and Channels[edit]
The Makaiju Arc of Sailor Moon R was dubbed into Malaysian English in 1997 by Speedy Video Distributors Sdn. Bhd. (the latter two words, "Sendirian Berhad", meaning "Private Limited"), a former Malaysian English anime dubbing studio and VCD and DVD distributor, and was released on VCDs, each containing two episodes. The translation was done from the TVB Cantonese Dub, so all censorship and changes made in that version were kept in this dub as well. All background music, with the exception of transformation music, was replaced with background music from other shows, thus no sound effects could be heard at all. This dub is notorious for its use of unconventional English grammar and pronunciation of certain words.
In 2002, NTV7 aired the Indonesian Dub. In 2011, the same channel broadcast the Malay-dubbed version of the first two seasons. This translation was done from the Indonesian Dub, meaning that all censorship and name changes from that version were carried over in this dub as well. The Indonesian opening song was used as opening theme song as well.
Censorship and Changes[edit]
Malaysian English Dub[edit]
- The opening and ending theme songs for episode 47 were instrumental versions of "Moonlight Densetsu" and "Otome no Policy," while in episode 48 the full versions of those songs were used, although they were cut short in order to fit the animation sequences which accompanied them.
- All character names were unchanged, with the exception of Ail, who became "Yvon," and An, who became "Yvonne".
- The Cardians were called devils or creeps. When they were defeated, they cried out "[Cardian name] disappear!" instead of "Cleansing!"
