For some reason, I've fallen in love with Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush again. It's actually a really pretty song, just don't watch the music video.

Kate Bush is, kind of bonkers.

Re: Question about the episode 21 comparison.

Dr. Casey wrote: So, how do you people know that the anime version of Nephrite is human? And why does Usagi say that he's not human if he is? That doesn't make much sense.
Wasn't it mention Beryl and her "forces" came from Earth? Maybe I'm mistaken, I think it was in episode 44.

That's explained in the manga. All of the villians were drawn to the Silver Crystal.

Also, I noticed in general that everybody is *really* stupid for not figuring out each other's identities. Even if you assume that their identity is magically hidden.

And is it just me or does Setsuna seem out of character in Sailor Stars? It's like in R and S she was a more solemn and serious character but then in that Chibi Chibi episode she was more of a comic relief character and seemed rather clueless and gullible. I don't think she was out of character. Bu...

After rewatching Stars again, I was surprised I never noticed how neglected the Outers were. People complain about their disappearance in SuperS, but they don't appear alot in Stars. After Nehelenia's defeat the four just fade into the background. Haruka and Michiru had a few appearances, mainly cam...

Replies: 8

As far as animation goes, no it hasn't. The animation is typical for a 90's series. Cheap lip-flips, cheap techniques (animating only one body part), reused footage, etc. Art-wise however, I think it's aged quite well. They were some excellent artists who worked on Sailor Moon. Even if the animation...

That scene always cracked me up. Wasn't she posing as a substitute teacher in the dub?

No, she barely has anything to do with the anime. And she has nothing to do with what company can license the anime. Or how the anime is released.

Somehow I doubt it given that (someone correct me if I'm wrong) the rights to the anime have reverted back to Naoko Takeuchi so Toei can't do anything without her say in the manner *sigh* Naoko Takeuchi has nothing to do with the anime. She isn't the reason why were didn't get episode 67, next epis...

I always thought Nobel Gundam looked more like Sailor V. Though the Sailor Moon reference is obvious.

In the G Gundam manga, Allenby actually does the "I'll Punish You!" pose, and upgrades Nobel Gundam to Super Nobel Gundam (which does looks like Super Sailor Moon).

You should try out Cutie Honey. It's a great 70's magical girl anime, which (IMO) heavily influenced Sailor Moon.

And try out the 1997 remake Cutey Honey Flash too. It's a shoujo remake of Cutie Honey, and most of the staff worked on Sailor Stars.

Eh, never really cared for anime Mamoru. In the first season he was a complete asshole. Always making fun of Usagi, putting her down, insulting her friends, etc. He was a total jerk.

Then afterwards, he was kind of.. eh, too perfect.
