Sailor Moon

[noxious.sunshine]

Ok. So can anyone tell me wtf is going on with the 20th anniversary reboot?

It was supposed to be done and airing this Summer, but it got delayed and I can't find any new info on it and it's driving me bonkers!

Oh Nm. Apparently it got pushed waaaay back to 2014. There's a new tribute soundtrack that's gonna be released the day before my bday. Yay!

Anywho... Who & what were your fav scouts/seasons/episodes??

I really hated the 2nd season (Sailor Moon R/ The Doom Tree Series) other than the one episode with Rei singing. Ann & Allan annoyed me & it drove me nuts that Darien/Mamoru had amnesia. I can play Allan's flute melody on the recorder tho XD.

I really liked the final season. I thought it was pretty well made, though like every other good tv series, I got teary during the final episode. I also got teary during the first season when everyone discovers Serena/Usagi is actually the Moon Princess and that "My Only Love" song played in the English version. Lolol ayyyyy.

My fav sailors are Mars, Venus, & Pluto ... I've always been fascinated with Pluto. Minako/I Forgot Her English Name can be just as dingy as Serena sometimes, and I love how bitchy Rei is. XD

I have a Venus set made for when this eventually happens.

I can't wait until the reboot. Where my Shlup and TSoL at???

I honestly love all of the Sailor Scouts. I really can't choose who is my favorite.

The second season is great once the Doom Tree trout is over and they go to Crystal Tokyo.

EDIT: Also, Pluto's English name is Trista.

Is it? I don't think I ever knew that, actually... Huh. I'm just used to Setsuna. Lol.

Ooo I forgot about the Crystal Tokyo bit.. Didn't they break those 2 up for the English version? I actually had the Doom Tree Series VHS Boxed set & that was all it had in it.

The reboot has been moved to December/January 2014 (Anime Winter 2014 season) as far as all sources point to. Sadly there is really little info to go by other than that. There is conflicting rumours as to whether it is a reboot like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (a reboot more faithful to the manga) or something completely new. While people will argue it is the latter, from what I had heard during the original announcement was more indicative of the former. They also want to make it a bit more "mature". Which the manga sorta already is. I really hope for a true reboot faithful to the manga. None of this monster of the week BS.

Doom Tree Arc is underwhelming. Really S and Stars are the best seasons out there.

Usagi as best character FTW. Michiru and Haruka as best couple. Minako as 2nd best character, especially if you read Codename: Sailor V.

You ma'am have excellent taste.

Also, new Sailor Moon will be streamed through Nico-Nico (with I assume appropriate subs?) in a variety of countries.

Haha Parker -loves- Sailor Moon. She often asks if she can watch it in Japanese. It's so cute!

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Aha! I knew someone would make this thread! In which case:

Seriously. Let's talk about how bad Sailor Pluto should feel about her demotion in the Solar System.

Really though. I loved watching this on Toonami. Rei was my favorite as a kid because I liked her fiery attitude and looked forward to her putting her hands together like a gun and saying "mars fire ignite!". Now a days I really like Ami and appreciate her intelligence.

I actually still own an old VHS tape of Sailor Moon. It's the Hearts in Ice movie. At one point I wanted to buy a Super Famicom so I could play the old Sailor Moon video games. I still might at some point.

Also, let's talk about how Uranus and Neptune are lovers but were somehow changed to being cousins in the english release

When I grow up I want to be Tuxedo Mask.

I should have included all the movies and specials in that comment.

One time at uni in the anime soc, we had a film night. I managed to get the Sailor Moon R Movie played. It was the most glorious time of my university career.

Not many others appreciated it though.

Hearts in Ice was the one where Luna fell in love with the wannabe astronaut wasn't it??

I also loved the Black Dream Hole one!

Lol they made Neptune & Uranus cousins for the English dub cuz it was back in the 90s & I believe they were aiming for a younger audience/didn't want to catch a lot of flack from parents.

Yep. Poor unrequited cat love. Sad.
