Sailor Moon in Croatia refers to the Croatian dub of the Sailor Moon anime which aired in Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina under the name Mjesečeva Ratnica (Moon Warrior) and, starting with the second season, Mjesečeva Ratnica - Djevojčica sa čarobnim moćima (Moon Warrior - A girl with magic powers).

Anime[edit]

Translation and Channels[edit]

The anime premiered in Croatia in July 2001 on Nova TV. The first season and the first four episodes of Sailor Moon R were shown in Japanese with Croatian subtitles, but the rest of the episodes were shown dubbed into Croatian. At first, the series was shown in the afternoon, around 4:00 pm. In September of the same year, Nova TV switched it to prime time and broadcast it at 8:00 pm. The broadcast was later moved back to the afternoon and morning in March 2003, before eventually returning to the 8:00 pm time slot. The last season premiered on October 4, 2003, airing on Sundays alternating between 8:00 and 9:00 am, and ended on September 25, 2004.

The dub was based on the German dub, so most of the changes made to the storyline in that version were kept, and the lyrics of the opening theme song, "Reci čarobnu riječ," was an almost-literal translation of "Sag das Zauberwort," the first German opening song.

The dubbing cast was relatively small, with only five voice actresses and two male voice actors: Antonija Stanišić, Marija Škaričić, Ines Bojanić, Leona Paraminski, Olga Pakalović, Rakan Rushaidat, and Franjo Dijak. Maja Oršić Magdić originally translated and adapted the scripts, but she was replaced by Jelena Pranjić beginning with episode 50. The dub was directed by Antonio Nuić and the audio mixing was done by Slaven Vujnović.

Censorship and Changes[edit]

  • The first season was shown completely uncut, without any changes. From season two onwards, only minor changes were made, mainly based on those in the German dub.
  • The opening and ending theme songs for the first fifty episodes were replaced with the instrumental versions of the original songs, and starting with episode 51, a Croatian-dubbed version of "Sag das Zauberwort" was used for the opening, while the ending featured a slow-tempo version of the same song. The first opening sequence was used for all episodes, though also beginning with episode 51 the modified German version was used. Footage originally used along with "Heart Moving" was used for all episodes from the first season, while footage originally used with "Otome no Policy" was used for the first four episodes of the second season. For the rest of the episodes, the German ending animation was used, with the addition of dubbing credits as subtitles.
  • The title cards were subtitled in the first season, but starting with season 2, they were replaced with versions with titles translated into Croatian from the German episode titles; these were narrated by Antonija Stanišić, the voice actress for Usagi.
  • For the first episodes of the Croatian subtitled version of the first season, the opening sequence used "Moonlight Densetsu," but later episodes featured a completely instrumental version of the song.
  • As in the German dub, episode 89 was never dubbed into Croatian.

Names[edit]

Character Names[edit]

Unlike the German dub, all names stayed unchanged (e.g. Usagi's name remained Usagi, and not Bunny).

The Sailor Senshi were called "Warriors" and their names followed a Planet Name + "Warrior" pattern.
