GREAT! GREAT!

This book is GREAT! The information is accurate and the pictures are awesome! If you're a big Venus fan, YOU HAVE to get this book! It's wonderful! Even if you are not a big venus fan,YOU STILL HAVE to get it! It's a must-have for all fans!

Anything Sailor Moon is da bomb!

I can explain this book in one word,and that word is, WOW! It was so good, and I couldn't put it down. I have 3 scout guides (Mars, Jupiter, and Venus) and Venus is my favorite guide so far. The color is vibrant, making it easy to read. I also like the Top 5 Episodes because DIC changed so much of the North American version, so it's a good way to see how the episodes were meant to be, so, BUY IT!

This book rocks!

I gave this book 5 stars because I think it's a really great way to learn more about the scouts, and in this case, Sailor Venus. It has great pictures, although the sideways writing was giving me a headache. I think this is a must have for Sailor Venus fans. I like the five episode thing because it had one of the episodes DiC cut out which I thought was really cool. I hope the other scout guides are as good as this one! Oh by the way, SAILOR VENUS RULES!

Meet Sailor Venus is a great buy!

Meet Sailor Venus is a must have for Sailor Venus Fans. It's over 80 pages of fun facts and pictures in a handy "Disney Adventures" size format. Included in the work are illustrated synopses of Venus-centric episodes from the first 4 seasons of Sailor Moon, *including* the _Sailor V_ episode which DIC cut from the North American dub, a brief look into the astrology and mythology behind Venus (the planet and indrectly the Senshi), answers from Minako to personal questions illustrated with scenes from various episodes, and other fun surprises!PROS: The book is remarkably comprehensive, pulling in background information from the manga and the anime to make an excellent Sailor V / Sailor Venus / Aino Minako (Mina Aino in the book) compendium. The pictures, are of course, first rate. CONS:Since this book is directly translated from the Japanese original, you have to look at the pictures from right to left, otherwise the order doesn't make sense (this is important because unlike other MIXX works, the pictures in the original were not reversed to compensate for the way Westerners read). Also, the captions are turned sideways to fit in the areas where horizontal Japanese writing would normally go. This can wear on the eyes after a time. There are also some tiny editing glitches, like her attacks being called "Love Chain Encircle" and "Love Me Chains" on alternate pages, and the names "Serena" and "Bunny" being used on the same page, but these are fairly minor nitpicky problems which in no way detract from the fun of the book, which is what's really important. Even with that, as I said before, it's a must-have for any fan of V-chan. Five stars.
