(edited for space)
Exactly, ParaKiss...like it or not, there ARE people out there who are opposed to homosexuality and the like, and we can't expect them to support it just becuase the sailor moon fanbase does. These are REAL opinions from REAL people, and we also cannot expect them to match the opinions of ours. These are Christians who follow certain beliefs and believe in certain things, and it shouldn't surprise us one bit that they think these things of the show. I saw quite a few positives in the article, and it amazes me that this group is so determined to point out the bad.

The first article wouldn't have been so funny if the person hadn't made so many mistakes.

I don't mind that people find some things offensive in Sailor Moon, because I know a lot of people do. (I'm Catholic in theory and don't have a problem with it) But all the mistakes and stupidity on that page made it hard for me to take anything seriously.

In my opinion, for a source to be informative, the information that they are providing needs to be accurate. The opinions were interesting, but without the facts to back them up, it isn't as credible a source as it claims to be.

Okay, I just clicked on the link, and all I can sum up is "WHAT THE?"
Really, I mean, these people are just plain "out there", IMO. Are you sure it's not a parody site? I mean it looks genuine, but at the same time, it seems to be just a bunch of oddballs that don't have any actual knowledge of anime itself that are making all of these odd "facts" about it. And I thought CAPalert was strange..I mean, after seeing this and CAPalert's reviews on "Shrek", "Monty Python", and the South Park movie, I wonder how these people would review the entire show of Sailormoon, not counting the dubs, but the original..I could just imagine all the problems these people would pick at..*sighs* I've tried to respect religions as a whole, and have no problem with Christians, but small groups like these are just so "out there", really. "Michiru and Hichiru?" Please, if you're going to say something bad about Sailormoon, get your facts straight, please!

Oh....my.....holy.....monkeys. THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!

1) While the 3rd season may be based a bit on christianity (Messiah, Holy Grail, things like that) no season of Sailor Moon was ever truely based on religion.

2) It says DiC cut out "Serena kicking her brother Sammy because it was too violent" shows they probably only got internet info and never watched the show. This is supposed to be first season, and never in the first season does Usagi kick Shingo. Since they're talking about the first episode, she kicks the door, not her brother. I've only watched season 1-4, and never, to my knowledge, does Usagi EVER EVER EVER kick Shingo.

3) Not reccomended to kids, eh? Well, golly, I WAS wondering why on laserdiscs and reading the manga and the like are rated 13+. I mean with Anime, while not always, is generally pointed towards teenagers, I wonder why it's not! *Sarcasm meter explodes*

To tell everone the truth, I skimmed and stopped reading after that "Serena kicks Sammy" comment. There's my rant on that piece of BS, and have a nice day everyone!

There is a picture where at least some of the Inner Senshi are wearing crosses, however, the picture is definitely not an anime screenshot. It's probably from an anime artbook...and there IS one with all the Inners wearing crosses done for the manga. I've heard that crosses are supposed to look "cool" in Japan. The only character I can think of who wears a cross in the anime is Haruka, as I said. (of course, since I don't pay that much attention to what the characters wear, I might be wrong)

Nephlyte, a "bad guy" consults the power of stars for help to destroy sailor moon, but of course he is evil, and in the end loses.

Of course. lmao. Sorry, I just thought that quote was really, really funny. I don't think it would have mattered WHAT he consulted, he was the badguy, and all badguys are slated to lose. The moral: don't consult the stars. You'll lose. And apparently, everyone else knows that.

The absolutely only problem I had (other than a lack of reaserch for some people) was the Avoid people who's only reasons were homosexuality and crossdressing and what not. I respect their right to base their opinions off of things that don't effect them in the slightest, but these are probably the same people that want it baned from ever being seen again by anyone and it REALLY pisses me off. However, I agree that the unedited version isn't for children (it's kinda violent and might just confuse them).

There are several artbook images of usagi wearing crosses, but that's about it, I believe.

Oh great SMU staff, please open up the sacred book of stupid changes and edits and point us in the correct path. Did the sacred moon goddess Usagi-sama ever wear thou holy cross accesories?

:sees everyone holding a straight jacket, looking at her weird:

What?

*Is one of those holding a straight jacket*
*ahem cough*
No, Usagi never wore a cross in the anime, and therefore, DiC never edited one out. I suppose they failed to point out that Usagi interacts with a MINISTER -_-

If you've seen the sub you'll see that in episode 5, which is about the Schanera, which are scented animals that steal your energy, Shingo (Sammy if you may) gets one and while he's posessed by it he kicks LUNA not USAGI... Those people are so stupid.. They've gotta losen up a little. Its FANTASY!!! They should also do their research better... Sheesh that article disturbed me... ><

I don't even want to KNOW what they say about Santa Claus...

those people said not to watch Pokemon because the Japanese name is Pocket Monsters. MONSTERS. if these people say avoid... do NOT listen.

That's going a bit too far. First of all, how do you characterize "overworshipping christians"? Many people on here could be offended by that. I know people who are heavily, heavily into their religion, and don't have a problem with anime.
And people have a right to avoid these shows if they want. I avoid Pokemon becuase I think it's pretty stupid. But why do I get off okay with avoiding it for my reason, and yet someone else gets berated for avoiding it becuase they don't agree with the content?

It just sickens me that so many people seem to think these people aren't entitled to their opinions.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is all I'm going to start off saying!!!!!!!!!!!

What the hell were they thinking???? Now one of my best friends is a nazerine Christian... and I must say, some of those "Revies fromt he teen int ehre reminded me so much of soemthign she'd say...

heh. the many different names poor Haruka gets called!!!!

Alamara Hichiru--- this is the worst offender!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH! you notice all they did was change the "m" in Michiru's name and reaplace it with an h??? yeesh!

Maria age 37 wrote:The Sailor Scouts are usually wearing skirts that would reveal private body parts, if they actually had any. Another problem that is typical of programming like this that attracts children, regardless of whether it was intended to or not: children will look up Sailor Moon on the Internet and find a Pandora's box of filth. Fans of the show submit "fanfics" or stories about the cartoon characters. They often include grotesquely graphic lesbian scenes between the cartoon characters.

Um... what ahs this woman been doing?! Looking up lemons online!!! there are actual good decent G rated storied otu there!!! I've got one! it's PG! yeesh!!!

OH OH!!! and here she apologises!!!

*cough* Ahem...
I have nothing against these people for expressing their opinions, and I don't understand why some think it fit to criticize these people for merely expressing what they believe to be true. Certainly the many inaccuracies irk me a little, and I wish people (on any topic) would do a bit of research before they formed such a solid opinion, but it is their opinion nonetheless.
I am a Christian (though I'm sure some Christians would question me on that) and I never had a problem with Sailor Moon, or any other Anime, but I respect the fact that a lot of Christians may not want their children exposed to some of the elements therein.

I agree, somewhat. I'm sorry if I sounded offensive to you or any Christians on the board, I tend to look down on religious people (and I know I shouldn't). I know they're entitled to their opinions, but I can still think some of their inaccuracies about the show were funny/stupid. (I actually laughed when I saw the thing about Raye and Serena fighting over their religions) And Parakiss Groupie is correct too...at least they didn't say anything about satanism; the accusations were about paganism and homosexuality, both of which would be counter to the Christian doctrine.
