Today we celebrate the 38th (June 30, 1978) Birthday of Usagi Tsukino.
Go eat some cake, bunhead!
>>143490266
Happy birthday to the clumsy moon bunny
What's your favorite form of sailor moon? Personally I really like Neo Queen Serenity.
Her design is really well exectuted, and I have a love for animated mothers.
>>143490385
Favorite design? Same as yours. She's so pretty!
>>143490385
Super Sailor Moon.
love that overall white color.
To another decade of Black Dog

This thread deserve to be bumped with Usagi pics until it reach the image limit.

How do I into Sailor Moon? I never knew what network it aired on in English and the Spanish network was really sporadic in its airing of episodes. I also heard the animu is better than the manga in a lot of ways and that Crystal has awful >QUALITY
>>143491757
Nyaa, KA, CR, Netflix, take your pick.
>>143491757
There are two anime and a manga. This should not be difficult.
>>143493288
>chibi-usagi
well, it's Chibiusa's birthday too...
Sailor Moon would be a lot better if there wasn't a generic monster of the week every week. The best episodes were those which had a lot of slife of life content or featured one of the main villains (i.e. those who actualy had developed personalities). I rather see the Sailor Team fight against Zoisite for a dozen times than watch a boring battle against a megaman-tier monster that has an unoriginal gimmick.
>>143493752
I'm sorry for your shit taste. The MOTWs are fun (especially the Lemures).
>>143493939
I watched every episode of Sailor Moon at least twice and I can barely remember any MOTWs because they're so forgettable. The only one I remember clearly is that cat monster. I remember it because the episode was excellent and the cat who turned into the monster had a very cute relationship with Luna. That's how all the monsters should be done. Give them a mini-backstory and then we care about them. Instead, we got lazyily designed characterless monsters. I bet that the inspiration for 99% of them was some random object the author happened to look at the time.
Happy Birthday, Usagi! You're the sweetest.
Happy birthday to my first and most often fap
Shirtpunch is selling a bundle of this shirt and POP figure of Tuxedo Mask for $15 today.
I know a lot of people hate the Pop stuff, but is there any reason why? I think it looks kinda cute and the shirt looks nice.
>>143490385
Super Sailor Moon. I'd like Eternal Sailor Moon if it wasn't for the big wings, but all of her forms are pretty much great.I wanted to be Princess Serenity as a child.
>>143490385
Sailor Cosmos
>>143490385
If we are talking about design, Super
>>143497638
I decided to order it anyways. I think the figure looks nice and the shirt is definitely my aesthetic.
I think this will be my 3rd or 4th sailor moon shirt at this point.
>Moon is my favorite
Said absolutely no one ever
>>143500334
What are your other ones?
>>143500409
Its hard for me to decide on a favorite. I like Moon, Minimoon, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune the most I guess but all of them are great.
>>143500518
Sorry for the low quality
>>143500836
Nice. Cute Luna, by the way.
>>143500409

There, You got another one to count.

Usagi and Rika are my favorite.
>no one mentioning sailor starlights
Come on Anons, let's dance with the best girl on her birthday party.
>>143501423
Seiya is up there with Usagi and Haruka in character development. But I don't find him/her sexually attractive.
This thread has obviously derailed into the typical 'which sailor would you fuck' debate.
>>143491757
>and the Spanish network
Holy shit you are lucky, just watch the whole thing in Spanish in the based latin dub and avoid the annoying squeaky voices in every other version. You guys got the absolute best version of the series.
>>143501423
Why would we bring up the Starlights in a thread celebrating Usagi and Chibi-usa's birthday? We already have a more generalized thread >>143385225
>>143491757
You download the original show with subs and watch it. Why do you make everything so hard on yourself by defaulting to dubs? It actually takes more work to find a dub than the original.
>>143501656
There's more than one way to celebrate a birthday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXg9hnILYlw
>>143491757
Watch the Sailor Moon redub on kissanime or hulu or dvd/bluray.
Read the manga
Then watch Crystal if you want hilarious poor quality in the first two seasons.
>>143501822
Seiya please. These delusions aren't healthy. Usagi doesn't feel the same way about you that you do about her.
https://youtu.be/-juH7wyC1nw
Also, way to be a bitch about it.
>>143494200
>I watched every episode of Sailor Moon at least twice and I can barely remember any MOTWs because they're so forgettable.
Same here, though Tetis is the one that stands out to me more than the others since she has an actual relationship with Jedite. The anime really handled them terribly and they mostly feel repetitive and completely out of place compared to all the other elements of the show. SuperS was the only season where the format actually made sense and was handled in a reasonably interesting way. The irony is that virtually every other MotW based magical girl show that game out after SM became popular did this way better than SM ever managed too, and either manages to have good fights or actually have the enemy tie into the issues the characters are dealing with.
It strike me as utterly weird that a show with such exceptionally high quality direction as SM is stuck to the most repetitive and lame MotW format I've ever seen in a show.
>>143502036
> Usagi doesn't feel the same way about you that you do about her.
Half the point of anime Stars is that Usagi probably would have fallen for Seiya if she knew that Mamoru wasn't coming back.
>>143502192
But she didn't and she doesn't, so who cares?
>>143502257
Because that's what makes the whole dilemma interesting. You don't have to want Seiya x Usagi specifically in order to empathize with Usagi in that situation. Were the scenario different, the drama would be weaker for it.
>>143502626
Except I disagree with your fundamental premise.
I don't remember Usagi even once indicating interest in Seiya beyond friendship, and I remember numerous times her indicating her lack thereof.

>>143502771
Not that guy, but she goes on a date with Seiya and makes it pretty evident that she is attracted to him. But then cuts the date short because she remembers Mamoru.
There's also other examples of her questioning herself and the other senshi teasing her. Its plainly obvious that she will always be true to Mamoru, but it does set up that she could have liked him if Mamoru wasn't around.

One of the best episodes of the show and Stars is my second favorite season. Japan can suck it.
>>143504198
I can't wait for them to get that far in the redub/rerelease.
Will be nice having non-VHS quality footage. How far are they now? Like Sailor Moon S?
>>143497638
>POP figure
They look ugly, imo.
>>143504426
Look at the viz website, they've finished resubing the entire series already, not counting the specials and movies, which we may never get.
The redub goes to the end of R currently.
>>143501865
the redub isn't on kissanime.
>>143491757
I'd suggest watching the old anime on hulu, either the viz redub or the subs. Though, I prefer torrenting for long series' like this.
Crystal got better in season 3, but you'd need some knowledge of the first two story arcs to even start that season.
>>143496350
What is this version from?
>>143490385
I like pretty much all her forms but her Eternal form. Princess Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Moon are definitely higher up on my list, though. PSM is what ESM should have been, a more "royal" looking form, closer to her NQS form.
>>143504866
It's Princess Serenity's Sailor form the live action Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
>>143504866
It was in the live action sailor moon series
https://youtu.be/ajzBWF7H4UA
>>143505055
>>143504939
Is the live action series worth a watch?
>>143505235
It's very good, i'd recommend it to anyone.
The effects are pretty cheesy though, but it was 2003 cgi.
The writing is great, and some of the story liberties they took were really awesome.
Lots of fans think this is the best version of the first story arc, and I agree.
>>143505235
It's pretty good. The characterization is great and it does a good job of keeping the zanyness from the 90s anime. If you pay close attention you'll realize that they incorporate a lot of elements from later arcs and even the anime into the first arc to keep things interesting for someone already familiar with Sailor Moon. The actors take a while to get into their roles and the effects are pretty bad but aside from that, I absolutely loved PGSM.
>>143503911
Oh come on, sqrt(2) isn't even something you can just guess.I only remember it being around 1.41~
Did anyone watch the Niconico stream?
>>143490266
Happy Birthday Usagi!
>>143506662
Yeah, it finished hours ago. It turned out to be another stealth musical ad, with them only talking about the anime at the end of it. Turns out that Crystal S3 is continuing like normal and next Monday will be the first episode of the Dream arc.I wish. I don't know. I came into the thread expecting it to mainly be about the stream.
>>143507175

>>143490266
>Happy Birthday Sailor Moon!
How old would she be now? 34?
>>143508233
She's at least 38 years old if we're counting that she was 14 in the 1992 anime.
39 if we're talking about the manga version from 1991.
>>143490266
What would you give Usagi for her birthday?
Any gift? Or maybe a cake?
>>143507175
>>143506662
I've been checking various sites for info as wel. One person on twitter said they blocked international viewers.
A book was announced and the cast for Amour Eternal performed a bit
>>143508420
39 years old, yet she would look young and beautiful even in 961 years later....
>>143508420

Is this why Togashi went on hiatus? To celebrate with his wife?
>>143509275
So this is how Usagi would look in the YYH art style?
>>143504657
I agree
>>143509709
I can definitely agree with this.
>>143506688
Nice last post.
>>143502100
>It strike me as utterly weird that a show with such exceptionally high quality direction as SM is stuck to the most repetitive and lame MotW format I've ever seen in a show.
Yeah, that's a mystery.On the other hand, it makes actual character development and plot rewarding.
>>143502100
That's one of the reasons why SuperS was enjoyable to me.
I felt like the monster of the week stuff really worked in that arc because they were dealing with circus freaks.
In all other arcs, it feels forced.
That being said, S had the best Monster of the Week designs in my opinion. Unfortunately for a story like the infinity arc, it also really pegged down that season for me in the old anime. The only reason I liked S was because of the comedy, and i'm an Ikuhara fag.
>>143490266

Not sure what I should think about that.

>>143511788
Tuxedo Mask was my first childhood crush. Usagi has good taste.
Unfortunately his taste in fashion is... nowhere near as good.
>>143512232
well...it was the early 90s
>>143511266
Should I have heard that guitar chord in my head?
>>143511788
Strangely enough, it was her Princess Serenity side that got me more than her Usagi/Sailor Moon side. I never could explain why.
>>143512422
>Strangely enough, it was her Princess Serenity side that got me more than her Usagi/Sailor Moon side. I never could explain why.
Probably because it was when she started showing a mature side and began growing up. She started standing up for herself, rather than yelling catchphrases and running away all the time.

Since this is a birthday thread, how discovered and watched SM for first time /a/nons?
In my case i was 6 or 7 on class and one kid who was objectively a moron said the show was only for girls and sucked very hard, and if he said that, should be good, i was abducted by the show quickly
>>143514346
Usagi has the greatest reactions
>>143514381
>>143514249
It was around2007and I was around 9-10. I was walking around recess looking for someone to talk to, since I was a lonely kid and all.
I saw a girl that was playing with a moonstick toy by herself and I decided to give her some company since she looked lonely, too.
She was such a huge sailor moon fan and talked about it so much that I felt like I had to watch it too, and due to the US not airing sailor moon on tv after 2001, I had to watch the japanese version online.
I was literally watching one episode per week because my parents used to restrict my computer time so I could study more, so I finished the entire series within 2-3 years.
And that's basically my story of how I got into sailor moon.
Happy birthday,Serena.
>>143514804

It was extra confusing since I'd only seen the early episodes at the time and the manga was around Hotaru's time.I honestly have yet to watch the series subbed.
>>143490266
Don't forget the little one too
>>143514894
Yes, Usagi is a cancer.
In all seriousness though, Serena is a pretty great name and I much prefer it over Naoko's "official" Bunny name for her.
>>143515611
I guess it's not the name that gets people angry. It's just the fact that it reminds them of a dub that watered down a pretty good show.
>>143515661
>watered down
To a little kid watching Saturday morning cartoons it was amazing. I can understand why someone older or an adult wouldn't like it cause it'd be like watching 4kids. But kids don't see it that way.

>>143514249
I was in elementary school. I caught the DiC dub of the series during it's original syndicated run.
>>143514249
Before it aired here in the mid 90's it was pretty hyped. Publicity events, tv ads, newspaper articles and merchandise months before it premiered, by the time the first episode aired pretty much every kid knew about it and a lot of them (myself included) were eager to see it
>>143514798
>I was literally watching one episode per week
I know that feel.
I didn't have cable at home growing up in the 90s, so I could only watch it on the weekends when I went to visit my grandparents.
It was the english dub, and I never got to see consecutive episodes, but I still have some fond memories.I mean, it was enough to make Venus my waifu for laifu
>>143515321
>>143518940
On a good note, it did make the actual plot moving episodes extra special to me because I had to slog through a lot of monster of the week stuff.
>>143513063
What did she mean by that?
>>143519309
She is hot and ready for the market
>>143504426
The SMC group released the whole show from Laserdisk copies. I also own the original VHS copies they released.

Hey guys. What if...stay with me here. What if there was a show like Sailor Moon. But the entire show was just slice of life. No sentai monsters or transformations.
>>143519901
I would watch it immediately
>>143519901
I don't know if that'd work.
As much as I enjoy the slice of life aspect of the series, i'd like there to be some of kind of conflict.
>>143519901
Best boy
>>143519901
I probably would not watch it.

>>143520023
It could work. It just couldn't be supported by the weak love story. The secondary characters would have to support it, like in other good slice of life shows like Working!! or Azumanga Daioh. I mean, we all love Sailor Moon, but everyone but Usagi, Rika, Chibi Usa, Haruka and Seiya were drastically ignored. Even Mamoru was kind of pointless, despite being part of the main plot.
>>143519901
What if we make a cut compilation of the all the slice of life parts of SM?
>>143520391
we could make it happen if we tried.
We'd need some brave /a/nons, though..

>>143520391
Then it would come out to be 150 episodes of a 200 episode show.
Also, that's basically what DiC already tried to do. Let's not repeat their stupidity.
>>143516690
What would think Naoko about his husband? a new hiatus again is something unbelievable
>>143520714

I don't know if they really care. They are parents with 2 kids to take care of, and a bunch of business stuff.
Isn't Togashi an editor at Shounen Jump or something?
>>143519526

Happy Birthday Sailor Moon
>>143519901
I personally love the magic and monsters, but I'd still watch the shit out of that.
>>143519901
I'd watch it and I'm sure I'd like it but I also really like the mahout shoujo aspect of Sailor Moon. The 90s anime could survive without it but definitely not the manga.
>>143493752
I agree. The problem with every MotW show is when a MotW is very clearly shoehorned in at the last minute and ruins the flow of the episode.
Fun fact, the director of Jetman actually wanted to do away with there being a battle in every episode but the higher-ups supposedly said no because it never happened.
>>143520391
>What if we make a cut compilation of the all the slice of life parts of SM?
I'd seriously argue that this would be one of the most appropriate ways to abridge it and actually make it more consistently solid. The high level plot and drama is absolutely crucial to making it as good as it is, so that would be kept along with the SoL, but at least half the MotW plots could be stripped out in favor of condensing the pacing and combining the character development of multiple episodes and avoiding the parts where the writing is weaker.
I'm rewatching Sailor Moon in japanese and I realized she sounds different in the last 3 episodes of the first season.
Turns out Chibiusa's seiyuu was filling in for her, and to be honest with you guys I find her voice more natural for Usagi than Kotono...
>>143519901
Sounds like it would still be a good show.
>>143522657
This seems to be a Toei thing, in that they're able to attract the highest quality talent in the industry, but then force them into their own constraints and there's nothing you can do because there's no other studio who can pull off the same things.
>>143519901
So like every other magical girl show before sailor moon was made?
Besides the transformation part anyway.
>>143519901
The charm of Sailor Moon was that it broke the mold for the magical girl genre during it's time with the trope of using magical girls to fight baddies, and save the day.
There's no point of taking the butter out of the show.
>>143524715
>>143524796
Sailor Moon is better plotwise than the mahou shoujo before it, the MotW was just the necessary evil to allow the series to have more active antagonists that should otherwise be done away with, as the musicals do.
>>143491355
I love Madoka! But who is that blonde girl?
>>143525090
There is a difference between removing the MotW and turning the show into pure SoL which is what >>143519901 suggested.
>>143524715
Most mahou shoujo before Sailor Moon was more like CardCaptor Sakura. Still had fighting and transformations. Sailor Moon just put a Sentai spin on it.
The anime however was an even more drastic change. And did new things for Slice of Life. I'd say the changes to the slice of life segments is the most impacting thing about the anime. Which is why the reboot (Crystal) felt so dry and bad. It had the same love story and sentai parts, but lacked the reaction images and comedic sub notes that Junichi Sato pioneered in the first anime.
While CCS is probably my favorite anime, I have to admit that it probably wouldn't have had so many reaction images and comedy if Sailor Moon hadn't come first.
Usagi a cute. Cute!
>>143525218
The show shouldn't be pure SoL, but there's just no need for more than the occasional monster. I'd actually rather them go a more classic route and have untransformed humans and criminal gangs be the mooks more often when appropriate. That would just work better. Like I said, the issue with the monsters is just how disconnected they are from the rest of the show and how they force everyone to come out and resolve things the exact same way each time. There are plenty of MotW shows with much greater variety.
>>143525253
>Most mahou shoujo before Sailor Moon was more like CardCaptor Sakura
Cutie Honey (the 1973 version) may have been an exception to this but yeah, it still didn't have the sentai aspect either.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWRC1pHI6c0
>>143525970
They were shoehorned in the show, though. The enemies in the manga were dealt swiftly (even Crystal S1 failed hard at this) and the ocasional monster is just a throwaway. This why I will always feel contempt against the 1992 anime, that and how they turned Usagi from a competent but somewhat silly girl into a full blown idiot.
>>143498612
I don't think Cosmos is Usagi but a decedent.
>>143526272
The manga doesn't really explains who she is besides being Chibi Chibi's real form.
>>143526403
>Chibi Chibi's real form
Then that's who Cosmos is, no?

>>143514249
I was first watching it when I'm around 12, it was airing before toku show that I want to watch.
I just following it as a filler show but eventually got hooked past the episode where Mamoru got brainwashed, it was around that episodes I sympathized with Usagi and eventually I fall for her in the R2 where she got dumped by Mamoru.
>>143526522
Yes, but it doesn't explains who she really is. Usagi? A bad future for Neo Queen Serenity? An Usagi's descendant? Naoko never gives straight answer about it either.
>>143526104
>They were shoehorned in the show
The manga was every bit as bad.
>The enemies in the manga were dealt swiftly
Which is the problem, almost every mid-boss tier villain in the manga is the equivalent of a MotW in the anime, so it just has much less depth and variety. It's no less formulaic, it's just shorter overall but no less filled with filler, since most of the main cast have less to them than one off side characters in the anime.
>how they turned Usagi from a competent but somewhat silly girl into a full blown idiot
Oh please, I hate this just as much as you do and agree that this, along with the MotW, is the anime's greatest problem. Hell, I'll probably get shit on here for saying this here, but even DiC bothered to take Serena's character development more seriously than the '92 anime did with Usagi. The old anime took over four seasons to get her to the level of self awareness she attains by the end of the first season in every other adaptation.

I'm literally rewatching that right now. Mamoru ignoring Usagi just because of a few random dreams is so annoying. Until out of nowhere he doesn't give a fuck anymore and chooses to be with her anyway. I love it when a show subverts my expectations.
Also, Chibi Usa isn't as bad as people make her out to be. They did a good job of making her the butt of jokes and showing she is just as immature as her mom.

>The old anime took over four seasons to get her to the level of self awareness she attains by the end of the first season in every other adaptation.
This, god I hated this so much. Hell, I despised Usagi because of the anime, then I read the manga and fell in love with her. The '92 anime really destroyed her.
>>143526728
>Mamoru ignoring Usagi just because of a few random dreams is so annoying. Until out of nowhere he doesn't give a fuck anymore and chooses to be with her anyway.
that's exactly why I'm sympathized with her, and the most annoying part is Mamoru didn't even tell her the true reason why he dumped her.
all the episodes after that where Mamoru giving Usagi cold shoulders is pretty heart slicing to watch since Usagi haven't give up on him and tried her best to fix her relationship with Mamoru.
>>143527202
As awful as this sounds, this is why I ship her with Demande instead.
I know he's gross as hell, but I guess seeing Usagi being given the cold shoulder by boring old Mamoru made me pair her up with the next male that showed interest in her.plus, dominate men are a turn on for me
So how do you guys rate the franchise.
For me it's
Musicals > 92' anime > PGSM > Manga > Crystal
>>143527352
The whole break up arc would have worked much better if it happened during Stars.
>>143527663

I'll bet she did.

I'm on my phone, typos are to be expected in long posts.
>>143527663
>she said now
ooh baby
>>143527352
Demande isn't "dominant," he's a rapist.
Not in the "SJW" sense, in the sense that he tried to have sex with Usagi, she said no, physically attacked him to get him to stop, and he kept on going until Mamoru intervened and got her out of there.
I can sympathize with some of Demande's motivations, but I cannot comprehend shipping him with Usagi unless you hate her.
>>143527663
>I can sympathize with some of Demande's motivations
Uh. Well, you are entitled to your fantasies, I hope you don't act on them though.
>>143527663
Wasn't really denying he was a rapist there. That's why I said he was gross.
I don't hate Usagi at all, actually.
Shit i'm growing a collection of figures of her.
I just shipped it pretty hard as a child, and now I really just ship it because itgets my rocks off due to certain fetishes that I won't get into.
It's not that deep, senpai
>>143527957
I don't think they would act on it if they're here talking about how Demande was a rapist.
Usagi needs more lewd art. It feels like she doesn't have good sexualized fanart compared to the other Senshi.
>>143527957
Those weren't the motivations I was talking about. I was referring to why he joined Wisemen and attempted to conquer Earth.

People don't like seeing Usagi acting like a slut.
She's PURE P U R E

What do you think of this art of Neo-Queen Serenity. I know it's deviantart but it still looks pretty.
>>143528453
I think she looks beautiful, like most of the artwork i've seen of her before.
It's difficult to not make her radiate the beauty she possess.
Even Season 1 of Crystal couldn't fuck up her beauty that badly.
>>143491355
Super Sailor Moon is my favorite form of her costume.
Especially the manga version.
So vibrant and pretty.
>mfw seeing that transformation sequence for Usagi the first time
>>143530020
I guess I don't understand this because i'm agrill
But what is so sexy about the transformation scenes?
I'd like to know from a male perspective
>>143530402
We are all woman here tho
>>143530402
>But what is so sexy about the transformation scenes?
Just taking a wild guessbecause I am a guy and these scenes do nothing for mebut maybe is it how their transformation showcases each girl's full figure and is just one step away from being a fully naked scene, their movements can also be seen as if they were stripping (in a strange striptease way) but... you know, reverse, because they are putting clothes on.
They are not naked but some people like the imagination of it, especially because all the people around them, the heroes, the monsters, etc. everyone gets to see her.
In my opinion, it's pretty much the female-friendly version of things like these, it's not really erotic, it's just... it is what it is?

So i'm assuming this gif makes you guys blow your load, then
>>143530850
I could understand people finding the live action cutie-honey transformation hot.
I guess since the sailor moon ones are so tame and child friendly compared to that, that's why I got confused.
>>143527684
In a way, it sort of did.
Though Mamoru was dead.
Honestly if the threelights weren't so sneaky all the time, and two faces (though they had a reason to be) I probably would've liked Seiya/Usagi a bit more.
They remind me too much of how Neptune and Uranus acted like total bitches in S, and it left a bad impression.
>>143531055
>the sailor moon ones are so tame and child friendly compared to that, that's why I got confused
Yeah, I don't get it either, I'll just assume it's because they are naked? It's the biggest fanservice this show can offer to men without getting risky.
>>143531230
I guess it had something to do with boys back in the 90s not having any easy access to porn online, so this was the closest thing they had to inspire their first fap.
>>143531055
That gif is kinda hot actually.

It's a masterpiece upon masterpieces. Truly an unappreciated beauty in the anime world.I may or may not be sarcastic here
>>143531727
Not going to say it is the greatest, but it's certainly one of the most influential anime.
Shit, i'm trying to re-watch all of sailor moon after I just finished the series for the first time a few weeks ago, but I just keep going back to my favorite episodes in different seasons. It's probably something I should re-watch once every year like a christmas special marathon, or something.
I'm trying to stay focused on finishing CCS, but after finishing a 200 episode series, I guess i'm kind of wiped out.

Yes, absolutely and in all seriousness. It achieves a tons of things simultaneously that basically nothing else does as well and has more great episodes than anything else hands down. It's Ikuhara's best work, and nothing he produced subsequently has matched it.

Why anon?
>>143535079
Probably the North American dub.
People watched a bit of it as a kid, forgot about it. Then, they went batshit happy over Crystal, forever hating the 90s show for not being the same as the manga.They never watched anything besides the dub of the 90s anime, though.
They'll never realize that the manga has flaws, and the 90s anime was being written at the same time. It was therefore impossible for one to be the same as the other.
>>143535370
I forgot that these people exist now. I don't frequent those parts of tumblr, so I'm not too familiar with how common this is.
>>143535370
I doubt that's the majority of the people
Who saw this recently?
will i be lost if i start at sailor moon s? i watched the whole thing years ago and know the basic premise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
>>143514249
It aired on Fox in the mornings where I lived- I believe this was '92 or so. I unfortunately had to leave for school before it aired but I had a bout of sickness for a few months and I was able to watch it every weekday.
It was a strange experience because I really loved it but at the same time I was thinking that I should hate it because it's a girl's show. Eventually in the mid to late 90's I started to secretly look at websites for Sailor Moon, eventually discovering dirty pictures.
Now I'm in my 30's and posting in a thread like this at 5 AM. Maybe I should have watched the morning business report.
>>143514249
It was early in the morning in the 90's.
I had to be 4, 5, or 6 and it came on before Beast Wars. I only caught the end of the episode, they were watching an iceberg sink or some shit, it was probably a seabase.
cute
The worst part of Sailor Moon is the male fanbase.
>>143512422
To be fair, first as Usagi was very funny for me, and was my favourite since the beginning, but later when i saw her feelings, then i started to really love her
>>143538947
How so
Heard we were celebrating moon rabbits in here
People keep kissing Usagi and she likes it, I'm going to drop this.
She's meant for Endymion only
>>143539411
She's a teenage girl, anon. They're all sluts.
>>143537663
>It aired on Fox in the mornings where I lived- I believe this was '92 or so.
What Fox are we talking about here?
>>143539411
Technically (excluding Mamoru) there are 3 persons who kissed her.
The first one is Demande, but Usagi clearly dislike it.
Second is from Haruka and third is from Seiya, but they are originally a girl. And kiss between girls is just OK.
>>143539539
>They're all sluts
>>143534636Yeah but I don't like women.

>>143514249
Just like any other program I discovered in the TV. What's funny is I never found it the anime girly enough to not watch it, I enjoyed a lot and after watching Crystal S3 I want to try to re-watch some arcs. I don't exactly remember my age when I started to watch Sailor Moon but I was surely minor than Hotaru.
>>143540576
>The first one is Demande, but Usagi clearly dislike it.
Demande would disagree
>>143540576
>third is from Seiya, but they are originally a girl
Seya is both a man and a woman.
So, I dropped Crystal after the first 3 eps, but I heard that at some point, the shoe got significantly better (less QUALIYY) due to some director/animator guy jumping in. Is that true? Was it the beginning of S2 or S3? Now that it's over, should I get back to Crystal?
>>143543082
The character design in S3 is great, only reason why I watched it honestly.
I probably would have liked the show more if it was cute sol
Happy belated birthday baby girl, thank you for the side work you do after hours.
>>143543082
>shoe got significantly better
He got blind.
>>143490266
Was her year of birth ever explicitly given as 1978?
>>143540576
>Usagi clearly disliked it
Sure, that's what they all say.
She was clearly asking for it, anon.
>>143543663
She was 14 years old in 1992. 16 in 1997 for some reason (I'm guessing there's a time skip with SuperS and Stars)
The anime was specifically set during that time period with the usage of technology, fashion,and other trends.
So if we're going by that, Usagi/Sailor Moon is about 38 years old now.
>>143543156
>I probably would have liked the show more if it was cute sol
Why not watch the original 90s anime?
>>143543082
Didn't start watching it yethave to thoughbut the plot gets better by Season 2 and the designs change to Precure style by Season 3.
>>143544155
Or 35/26 years old if you want to be technical with her being 16 when the anime ended, and 17 when the manga ended..
>>143534037
Cheeky
>>143514249
On UPN
They had stopped showing Ronin Warriors to put it in it's place.
Being a little kid, I looked at the colors and elemental abilities and thought that they just made a replacement for girls, and thusly I fucking HATED Sailor Moon with a fiery passion.
Of course, I watched it anyway, and slowly became a fan. I'd have to say, overall, Sailor Moon is the better franchise, even though I love Ronin Warriors to this very day.
>>143535079
Because the majority of the fandom on sites other than 4chan, I might even be wrong there, are people that have seen a few episodes of the dub as a kid, and pretend they know everything about the series thinking that it's about feminism, and they use it as their soapbox.
