When I was a teenager, I bought a DVD that had a few Sailor Moon episodes that I had never seen before (being from the U.S.) In these episodes, Makoto (or "Lita" AKA Sailor Jupiter) develops a crush on Haruka (or "Amara" AKA Sailor Uranus) and has to cope with her being unattainable. The DVD included both an English dub and the original Japanese with English subtitles.
In the original Japanese version, the crush is treated as romantic in nature, with Makoto's friends telling her that Haruka already has "a girlfriend" (Michiru AKA "Michelle" AKA Sailor Neptune.) In the English dub, Makoto wants Haruka to be her "best friend," with the rest of the Sailor Scouts telling her that Haruka already has "a best friend."
The visuals all stay the same, complete with roses and Makoto's starry love-eyes. The romantic implications are so obvious it's painful.
