So, it recently came out on Viz Media and they're simulcasting it strait from Japan, so I decided it was time I watch some Sailor Moon.
I remember watching Sailor Moon back in KINDERGARTEN. That was my favorite show back then. I would watch it after school or figure out what time it aired on my off days, which was every other day. Like I said it was my favorite show. I even have three Sailor Moon dolls.
Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Tuxedo Mask and my sister had Sailor Mars. After I got these dolls the only use I had for Barbie was her clothes and accessories. I still remember their English names: Sailor Moon was Serena, Sailor Mercury was Amy, Tuxedo Mask was Darien and Sailor Mars was Ray. And the cat was Luna.
I Can Still Sing the Theme Song!!!
Anyways, since Sailor Moon was my beloved childhood show, I decided to watch the old episodes along with the new Crystal version.
I SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO WATCH ANY SAILOR MOON EPISODES AT ALL
Ever watch a "Everything Wrong With _______" or any anime abridged spoof (in this case, specifically Sailor Moon Abridged Censored Version)? Yeah...it was a lot like that. To give you a more precise idea, in the beginning of Sailor Moon Crystal, where they show us these wonderful images of the galaxy and the solar system, I was imitating the Space Core from Portal 2.
I won't go into how badly I was mocking "my beloved childhood show," but please understand-I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
But no, seriously. I really do love Sailor Moon. And the new Crystal is such an improvement over the original animation (but then again, that's to be expected) however, I wasn't completely crazy with the new transformation animation. It was cool, but I liked it better when she stayed all color blurred until the tiara. Though I loved the MMD use.
Now, as a side note, Did you know Sailor Moon had LIVE ACTION FILMS? I think I first saw this at my grandparents a few years ago. Can't remember what channel they were on, but I do remember laughing at the use of stuffed dolls.
Needless to say, I couldn't really watch that.
