<p>looking at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sailor_Moon_episodes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">list on wikipedia</a> we see that <em>Sailor Moon Sailor Stars</em>, the last season that the original US Dub never covered in english, goes to episode 200 as such this means that Viz isn't just going to stop at <em>Sailor Moon SuperS</em> (which is episode 166)</p>

<p>currently (27/07/2017) Viz Media sells up to <a href="https://www.viz.com/watch/tv-series/sailor-moon-video/12147" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Sailor Moon S, Season 3, Part 2</a> which is episodes 109-127 so you currently don't have the final season and will need to wait, however it should also be noted that this Viz Media release isn't like the original US Dub release which. as you can see in the list of episodes on wikipedia, skipped episodes in the first season (remember that 200 episodes is the number of episodes from Japan, if Viz was going all 200 they wont be skipping like original US Dub did)</p>

<p>While i have yet to see it to confirm from my understand this also means some of the themes from anime which were toned down/altered in the original US Dub are kept to how they were in Japan. noticeably during the Death Busters Arc (Season 3) the theme of sacrifice and ofcause, Haruka and Michiru</p>

<p>As Viz Media's blog post says that the re-release is duel language i assume it would contain both the japanese dubs with english subs and the english dub. considering that to my knowledge the final season was never released in english outside Japan officially watching the original subbed probably means watching a fan subbed version which you shouldn't really be doing when the series has been officially subtitled.</p>

<p>in case if i am wrong and:</p>

<ul>
<li>there is an official release of the final season before Viz Media</li>
<li>you decided to wait for Viz Media to release theirs </li>
<li>you want to watch it subbed rather than dubbed </li>
</ul>

<p>then which subbed version you watch is a matter of personal preference. however Viz Media's release would be easier to acquire as aside from DVD/Bluray release the Viz Media link i posted on Sailor Moon S, Season 3, Part 2 lists digital distributions like Steam and the Playstation Store. i would suspect ADV Film's home release it out of print thus harder to get</p>

Note the the new dub may have dropped the Americanised names and all, so it may well be as alien to the OP as the sub is.

@Maroon though it would be more consistent than for 4 seasons knowing them by Sarina and Lita to then suddenly going to Usagi and Makoto

<p>I've been watching the English dubbed version of <em>Sailor Moon</em> over and over. During that time, I thought the <em>Sailor Stars</em>, the last season would soon come out in English, but it never did. So, I only had one solution: to watch the original Japanese version.</p>

<p>I tried watching the last season in Japanese with English sub, and it was so confusing. I was like '<em>Who's this character?</em>' '<em>Oh, it's Mina! Minako is her name...</em>' and stuff like that.</p>

<p>So, will <em>Sailor Stars</em> (the final season) be available in English dub?</p>
