Miss Dream

Happy Miss Dream update everyone! We’ve got a big batch of cool stuff for you today! Today Starts a small spurt of Magazine updates I’m dubbing as “Magazines The Live”. Most of these Magazines involve live action most commonly referred to as tokusatsu. Toei is a prime producer of tokusatsu, their biggest titles being Kamen Rider (or “the Masked Rider”) and Super Sentai (known in the North America as “Power Rangers”) which have new heroes as they are renewed each year. These Magazines Contain mainly articles featuring not only the Live action of Sailor Moon, but Kamen Rider 555 (Pronounced “Fiaz”), Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger as well as articles of the live action movie of Cutie Honey, all of which were running in the year 2004.

Next in our update is a personal donation from myself! Sailor Moon World is a line of merchandise that ran from 1999-2003 and is one of the most sough out forms of Sailor Moon art, not only due to it’s rarity, but it’s high-quality shading. Both of these pieces where taken from my personal collection, and lovingly taken apart by myself and cleaned by our staff member Senshi-chan!

Naoko Takeuchi interview in FLASH

Naoko Takeuchi Article in Flash Magazine 1993

This is a translation of a Naoko Takeuchi article in Flash Magazine from 1993, which features information about Sailor Moon and author Naoko Takeuchi. “Flash” magazine is an adult magazine from the 1990s which featured articles about pop culture. This was published shortly after Naoko Takeuchi won the 17th Kodansha Manga Award for girls’ manga.

As there is a shortage of information about Naoko Takeuchi on the web, this Naoko Takeuchi article in Flash Magazine is a rarity. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Special thanks to ainomessage for the translations. Scans by Miss Dream. Page formatting by Galadan.

Speaking of Galadan, he’s our new HTML editor! Everyone give him a warm welcome to the team, as he’ll be a lot of help in the following weeks.

Update Changes!

Due to the increasing time constraints on the staff, we will be doing site updates bi-weekly instead of weekly. Additionally, the format of the site updates will be changing in order to save us some time.

We have a HUGE project in development that will dramatically change Miss Dream’s appearance and operation. In the interest of completing that project, we will be a little bit lighter on additions to the site for the duration. Stay tuned!

Happy Miss Dream Monday everybody! Today’s Update is absolutely packed! Today we have Kanzenban 9 and 10, a translated Proplica Moon Stick Video, and the Launch of Project eBook!

Project eBook you say? Yes! We’ll get to that later, we promise ♥

First off, what you’ve all been anxious for, Sailor Moon Perfect Editions!

Volume 10 CD Japan | Jlist

Please enjoy 600 DPI downloads of the Sailor Moon Perfect Edition (Kanzenban) books, volumes 9 and 10! These were released in Japan in mid March of 2014. We highly recommend buying copies, as the digital remastering of the artwork is really worth the purchase.

Miss Dream eBook Project!

What is this silly project you’re devising, Anna, you say? Well it’s not silly! Well, maybe a little, but it’s cool!

In essence, we’re taking everything we own and converting it into optimized eBook formats. Yes, i did say everything we own. This means all of our raws, and all of our scanlations! We’ll be posting them in the most recognized formats, plus a few extra! The formats we will be putting out are as such:

.rar – Which is our usual output for galleries in loose format. We already do this of course, and to extract this you’ll need a program such as WiNRAR or 7-Zip to extract.
.pdf – The popular file used by most eReaders, and made popular by and viewable with Adobe Reader. There are also several alternatives to read PDFs, such as PDF-XChange Viewer, which is a personal favorite, Foxit Reader, and Sumatra PDF being popular as well.
.cbr – or “Comic Book Rar” witch is the most widely used format for comic books. A reader is required to view these, and the most popular is ComicRack
.epub – The most popular reader format, most commonly used on Apple products, such as the iPad, iPhone, and iPod, but almost universally used on other devices such as most cellphones. Can be read, and even converted by the amazing program Calibre!
.mobi – the format printed by Amazon exclusively for their vast line of Kindle readers. To view these on your computer there is a list of readers here!
.cbda – AKA “Comic Book DS” a format detailed on our site here.

Now! To the eBooks we’ve already Formatted!
