Translation and Channels[edit]
The anime was first shown in Ukraine in 2000, when the first three seasons of the first Russian dub aired on Новий Канал (Novyi Kanal). In 2002, the fourth and fifth seasons were also broadcast. As was common in Slavic countries, it was not a full lip-synched dub but a voiceover, with a male actor, Anatoliy Zinovenko, voicing all male characters and a female one voicing all female and child roles. However, the voiceover was in Russian, and not Ukrainian, since the channel aired primarily Russian-language programming. It started with episode 128 on April 11, and finished with episode 200 on July 25, following the rebroadcast of few episodes until August 1. There were no further reruns, and the channel apparently let the license expire. The series aired Monday through Friday at 4:20 p.m. The translation was done by Studio Pilot.
As the channel had purchased the German version of the series, which then had Russian dubbed over the German dialogue, the series followed all the changes which were made in the German dub. This included using the German opening.
In 2013, the first 24 episodes of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars were given a Ukrainian voiceover and aired on the channel K1. This version used three female actors and one male for the voiceover audio, and mostly followed the Russian script of the Russian dub done by SV-Double, with minor changes. On February 27, 2017, the channel broadcast the season again, this time including the last ten unaired episodes. Episode 200 premiered on April 1 of the same year.
Censorship and Changes[edit]
- All the changes made in the German dub of the series were followed in the Russian dub of seasons 4 and 5 shown on Новий Канал.
- K1's Ukrainian dub of Stars contained no censorship except for the characters referring to Haruka with male pronouns, even though she was voiced by a female actor. All of the characters retained their Japanese names.
