wiccansamurai Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 *Brings dead thread back to life* Well, I was going to do a search on Sailor Moon, to check if I should start a thread on it. Found this, so, here's my question. Any of you got the box sets that just came out yet. I'm watching the second season right now and I can't stop grinning! I especially love the part where the scouts are fighting over who should play Snow White in the play, and Mako says she should because she has the biggest chest. Unedited gold. ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagome 1 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I love salior moon it was the first anime I ever seen. I was so disaponted when it went off of TV. I wonder if it will ever come back on.

wiccansamurai Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I wish I had seen the live action show. If you go to Castle in the Sky web page, it tells you what episode 67. After reading it, I have no idea why it wasn't in there. Though it did seem to have nothing to really do with the plot flow... The only good thing about Chibi-Usa is Black Lady. Now she's cool. My favorite villain of all time, thoguh, is Prince Diamond! *Fangirl smile* He's so cool! And in love with Sailor Moon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hinata Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 [COLOR=orange][SIZE=1] Live action Sailor Moon, I must be really out of the loop for not have heard of that one. Oh well I'll survive. I guess it just shows me how out of the loop I actually am.... But as for the cartoon, which I did love and which I watched happily in my first years as an anime fan. I thought it kicked butt. I mean a girl changing into a short skirt and wearing a crown. Who wouldn't like that. Shoot if I was a man I'd let her kick my butt just for the heck of it..so that I cn catch a peek..Heh heh. I think I need to stop acting like a perv. Sorry if I offended anyone. At this point in time. Sailor Moon is still good to me. But I dont watch it as much and Im not as excited by it as I used to be. I guess its from me getting older I dunno. But I still must say if it was between a Sailor Moon marathon and a Vin Diesel marathon..(I love Vin Diesel) I'd look at Sailor Moon..I think its cause I dont have any of her eps and I have most of his movies...he he[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I guess that irks me is that the youma that they fight look so much like the bad guys in Power Rangers from way back LOL. It also is a little distracting to see Luna as a stuffed plushie. However, the girls they picked for the Inner Senshi are quite convincing. I think they did a great job on the casting. As for the guy who plays Mamoru *drool* I absolutely love him LOL. I have no idea who the actor is, but he's pretty convincing as Mamoru.

James P. Galvatron Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I loved the t.v. show but after a while it got boring for me I turned to other animes like Tenchi Muyo, DBZ, and Outlaw Star which seemed better for me. All watches those 4 shows: Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo, and DBZ, and Outlaw Star not even knowing they were an anime not even hearing of the name until 2 years ago January 2002 I saw Adult Swim and heard them refer to it as anime.

Othak Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 im not sure what the question is, but im thinking its the opinion on sailor moon. i think its a great anime show. i love it. my friend is a big fan...Some people say its dumb....some people think its great, but i think tis good its not the best show.....Yu Yu hasikuo is the best, but i mean Sailor moon is cool, i love Jupiter....and sailor mooon....well, she kinda needs anger manegment classes. she gets mad to easy,lol. And shes worked up all on that mystery guy......just like this japan book i have.....shes worked up on the mystery guy, and then she finds out hes a bad guy tryign to kill her, then falls inlove with her. And it kinda happened in sailor moon i mean i can kinda predict whats gonna happen. But i think its a great show....but it needs a little bit more wonder in it...like a continue shows, lol. but thats just my opinoin.....nice board, great topic :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oshi Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Sailor Moon was the first manga I ever read, and I have to say that, unfortunately, it influenced me negatively. (This is my nice way of giving you Sailor Moon fans my opinion on this . . . topic.) I'm sorry, but it's really obvious (especially later in the series) that Takeuchi is just running out of ideas. All the villains are female, all the characters make the same faces, and the drawings have no effort put into them at all. But that's the manga. The anime was dubbed really badly (just LISTEN to Usagi's voice!), and the use of repeat framing was irritating. There's story arch in which these seeds are planted into inanimate objects, turning them into evil women who want to steal a pure heart crystal from Bunny. One is a VACUUM CLEANER, the next is a HEART STATUE, another is a VOLLEYBALL MACHINE, yet another is a GLASS SHOE, and finally, one is a SCARF. Menacing. I mean really. However, the show does hold good memories for me, of times when I had no idea that there was better stuff out there. I Moon Tiara Magic-ed a couple CD's into my friends wall, and it still makes me happy to think about it. Sorry if this seems negative, but you asked for opinions. You didn't say anything about posts glowing with admiration for the show. oshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sarah3099 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Sailor Jupiter is my favorite, but when I was younger mercury was because I thought since she was the smartest that she was my favorite.But now I like Jupiter better because she is so cool and I am like her in ways. Oh and why is there a pokeball as a smiley? :D I miss Sailor Moon on the air. I love the show but suddenly it stopped airing and ed edd n eddy took its place. A lot of people on sailormoon.com and I have already sent several messages to numerous tv sites complaining about it being taken off and nearly demanding that they put it back on the air. But I have good news- I was looking at some sailor moon universe site and some of the recent news said that on June 13 at 4 pm Cartoon Network was going to put sailor moon back on the air. now I know some of you are wondering which year it means, and I checked a June calendar for 2002, 2003, and 2004 and I was wondering which June 13 because that date this year is on a sunday. but if it is true, oh well! at least they are putting it back on!

Last time I went(which was years ago mind you I no longer associate myself with Sailor moon websites such as SOS or Universe that won't face so many of the truths of Sailor Moon) they had that still. Besides belive me the anime that they showed on Cartoon Network isn't all that great. I strongly suggest you should rad the manga and see the difference. Yeah. Much, much much better. And it would help if you strayed away from sites such as SOS....they refuse to belive the fact that [spoiler]Sailor Uranus and neptune are gay!

Soliel Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 [COLOR=GREEN]I don't think they'll be putting SM back on the air for a while. The last time it was on CN is was only on for about a month or less (I can't remember). Anyways, because of that, all of the credible SM sites are severly outdated. I've given up any hope of seeing Stars dubed, let alone shown on TV. (They won't show Ranma 1/2 for the same gender switching reason) Well, anyway, my favorite character has either got to be Lita (I don't remember her Japanese name) or Saiya.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryu_Sakura Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 First one I saw... It was really good at the time. But now that I've seen better, it isn't as good as I thought, the skirts too short, too funky hair, and too just... bad plot. When I like it I was obsessed with Sailor Saturn though, she's the only reason I keep watching the same episodes over and over. Too bad they are not going to make anymore, it would havbe a real shot at today's viewers with just a bit more of a.... hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love it like no other when I was much younger, and when I go back now and rewatch a few episodes that I've recorded, I find that it's more than a little repetitive, and Usagi actually annoys me a lot now, whereas before, I really loved her character. It's not so much the outfits or the hair that annoy me; it's just that each episode ends with Usagi defeating her enemy each time, and the character development is just bland. I know I'm always mentioning the Live Action version, but I actually find the Live Action a lot more fulfilling in terms of developing the characters. The fighting sequences are horrible, but the characters actually have lots of different dimensions to their personalities which is something I look for. I can finally sympathize with them now, which is something I couldn't exactly say when I watched the anime a long while ago. ~haruno_sakura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fighting sequences are horrible...[/QUOTE] I think the fight scenes in Live Action series have gotten much better as the series has progressed. The actors and actresses seem a bit more accomplished and perhaps the shooting and editing has improved. A lot of the villains look terrible but I guess that is not going to change. I always felt that Sailor Moon depended on the interaction of the Senshi, especially given the formulaic villains and fight scenes and the stock transformation sequences. It is great to see the 5 Inner Senshi without all the samey also-rans and wanna-bes tagging along - it's a more intimate feeling. The Live Action actresses have done a good job getting into their roles and relating to one another. Watching Ami and Makoto stick up for Usagi all the time is really sweet. Another thing about the Live Action series that hasn't been mentioned is that it has spearheaded a Sailor Moon revival in Japan. For example, the manga is back in print for the first time in years. I am glad this series has found new life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keyblade master Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Sailor Moon was the first anime i ever watched but i liked it alot. It's been along time since i even seen this show infact the last time i seen it I was in 5th grade and i am now in 8th. The whole point of the show and storyline is long since forgotten from my past and i only remember 3 of the characters I still remember the end of the last episode. I think the anime was good though.
