Sailor Moon

Post by MaroonChan »

Okay, I checked if there was any topics on this first, but there wasn't so I shall post it! Anyone a fan of Sailor Moon? Yeah, I don't expect many. Heh, not that many fans since its pretty old now. Well, kind of. But anyway, I'm a huge fan! Was several years ago when I was in 6th grade and middle school. I wasreally obssessed. Then, it died down. Then, I started watching the DVD's again and got hooked again. Mostly due to Sailor Moon S, which is one of my favorite seasons. Anyway, any other fans?

The first two or three seasons that aired on Toonami where great, the rest after got annoying. Very. Between Sailor Moon's more new voice actor/voice/whatever that made her sound like a whiny emo, and then the whole massive recycling of clips for battle scenes, and on top of that Sailor Moon suddenly acting like she was a 5 year old who's icecream feel on the ground whenever something bad happens to her.... (I guess after keeping her ralative cool throughout the beginning of the series she finally lost her nerve, or her nerve lost her.)

So yeah, what can I say, I like the first seasons and one of the movies I saw was certainly alright, but I lost intrest after nearly throwing a brick at the TV. It's really a shame too.

Oh yes, I was so sad when they changed the voices. The first ones were so much better! Though for 3rd and 4th seasons the editing did get better. Though its a shame they never seemed to be able to settle on attack names.

Heh, well I think Sailor Moon basically acted like that most of the series. I mean she has her moments where she's crys a lot, and others where she acts very strong.

The first season is a tad bla for me. The other seasons were done better. Espeically Sailor Moon S which is the 3rd season. The battle scenes were way better. The movies are good. I love the Sailor Moon R movie! The first one! Its awesome!

The manga from what I remember from reading some of it years ago was done better. Its a shame the anime didn't follow it better. I mean it did follow it, but not exactly, you know?

Yeah, I was a fan back in around 8th-10th grade or so.

No laughing. I really did like it.

I still kind of like it today. KF

It was a good series. I just got sick of it at one point. But then slowly returned to it. I've been obsessed for like a year since then. I've spent so much money on Sailor Moon goods since then. Ha, I sometimes make my family watch it. And I managed to get two of my friends back into it. :D

Ha...I was one of the biggest SM fans I knew. I still have stacks of SM stuff. Sailor Moon S was my favorite season. I've always liked the outer senshi(sailors) better than the inner senshi, excluding Sailor Chibi (Mini) Moon. Rini was always my favorite. Sailor Moon R would probably be my second favorite season. I never really liked Sailor Moon SuperS. The original season was better to me than SuperS.

Yeah, I still got some of my Sailor Moon goods, mind you their not in great condition. My newer stuff is in better condition. Chibiusa/Rini is cool! If I ever go to a convention I might like to cosplay as her as Super Sailor Chibi Moon. That or her in her princess form, or Super Sailor Moon, or Princess Serenity. That or Edward from Fullmetal Alchemist.

Me too.

I liked it back in middle school. At the time I had to keep it mostly hidden. The only time I reached out, to an all-female group that liked Sailor Moon, they just laughed at me, though they were surprised when I could answer the question one girl (their Sailor Jupiter) asked.

But yeah. For a long time I was enraptured with Sailor Mercury. Now I just like the show, though it's been a while since I've seen it.

I said that for a long time. Now by friendly instigation I'm trying to get a costume ready for Dragoncon. It's taken about 4 years or so for me to get the courage.

I used to watch it back before it was on Toonami. I think ABC aired it in the mornings around 9 or 10. I remember staying home and watching the show.

I think that is when I watched it. I kind of liked SM, never really was a FAN of it, but it was cool. I may watch it again with that tv site I found.

I can't ever say I was a huge fan of Sailor Moon (or any other Anime in particular), but I will say that I've caught the odd episode here and there while channel surfing, and it was quite entertaining.

From what I've seen of it, I can understand fans of Lunar enjoying Sailor Moon. It seemed to have a similar blend of lighthearted irreverent humor and emotional drama.

Hmm... is it on DVD by chance?

Yeah, it is. I know you should be able to find DVD's from seasons 3 and 4 pretty easily. I bought mine all on ebay. I bought the uncut ones. And man, its so much better uncut and subbed.

Personally?

I'm pretty familiar with sailor moon...

And I like the characters of Galaxia and Mamoru, oddly enough. I've RPed both of them before.
Don't blame me, Lucia promised me lots of snuggles and cuddles if I would be her PR guy.

I used to get blasted back in Middle school. I didn't hide the fact that I loved it at all.

I really need to get off my arse and buy the DVD's. As the show made me happy and giddy. Can't even say how much I loved it!

Big Sailor Moon fan here as well... not just in the past, but in the present too. I still watch the S movie every year as part of a Christmas tradition (if you haven't seen it, well, let's just say that Santa Claus makes an impressive entrance in one scene).

I remember that scene! Ha, its great! :lol: Personally my favorite is the Sailor Moon R movie. I love that one! I've watched it dozens of times. The Sailor Moon Super S one is good too.

The R movie is definitely a better movie than the S movie, but the S movie is a fun "Christmas" movie. :) Need to watch the Super S movie though. I've had the DVD for a while, but I've just been too lazy to watch it. :(
