Pretty Gaurdian Sailor Moon update... (Live Action series)
 

Okay, I've now seen several Clips of the series (It debuted October 4th in japan) And I can now piece it together...

The series Looks pretty good actually. Still very cute, only a few things I actually had troubles with. Luna is now a Plush doll -_-

The Transformations are done pretty well, however when they are in the body suits sans gloves, boots etc their Skin dosn't "glow" like it did in the animated series.

Minako is a popstar/Vigilante in the first episode. Nice Touch I thought.
The first episode starts with Tuxedo Kamen STEALING From Naru(Molly)'s Mother's jewelery shop... :-?
Then the First Encounter with Sailor V and Tuxedo Kamen happens.

The Enemies are kinda Power Ranger-ish(What can you expect eh?)
And I'm actually okay with that. (I liked MMPR's first couple of seasons so meh)

Over all the series looks kinda...Good. I expected so much less.
There is already a Fan sub floating around on the 'Net, I plan to find the first 3 episodes (Ep 3 airs Saturday...In japan) Next week and Convert it in to an S-VCD so I can watch it in style. *nods*

Tell me thats an exageration, if not excuse me while I put my head through a plate glass window

The Character is a flippin' plush Doll. She's CG if that helps. (I'm not happy about that either... In fact, that part kinda makes me sick)

:lol: Sounds dumber than the cartoon. But what do I know...

The Story has potential to be better than the cartoon. (Only the First two season, and the last season was good IMO)

there are just somethings about it that I wish I could have been there at the creative devolpment meeting to change. Or atleast yell "NO STOP IT! STOP IT BOY! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?? FOR THE LOVE OF NASH, STOP!"

(I really like the "Aino Minako as a popstar" change. In the original series, she Wanted to be a pop idol, but in this series... it starts with her being one.)

(Sorry for the Double Post, But I come with pics)
And these aren't the highest quality, but the best I could take screen caps of.

Usagi's Henshin sequence. (well parts of it, the begining, the hair, the boots, the gloves and Final shot)

See, all sorts of power rangers-ish.

(There goes my bandwidth)[/img]

oh man! that actulley looks cooler than it sounds! :o

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that all the girls have different Hair Styles and colors when they aren't in Pretty Gaurdian mode. So their Secret Identies actually MAKE SENSE for once.
(Usagi's hair is the only one really close to The Gaurdian hair, except Instead of long blonde pigtails, they're long Black Pigtails.)

*dies from the cheesiness* :P


Heh, I gotta tell my niece this...

I actually wanna see this now XD.

well Luna seems pretty insulting, but I'll save total write off till I see a closer look at her

The chanbge scene reminder me of PR

I'M NOT GOING IF LUNA IS A PLUSHIE!!!! :evil:
And that's that.

What were you expecting? They were going to tape a cresent moon to a real cat, paint it blue, and just hope that it could act? Or just have have everyone pretent that there's nothing strange at all about a girl with a blue cartoon cat? Honestly, what they did was the best solution.

It's pretty funny when they go from a CG shot of Luna walking around to a close up of plushie Luna.

Sayonara.

:lol: they could have tried something like Salem from Sabrina the Teenage witch...

Scariest. Series. Ever.

And I'm including TMNT: The Next Mutation and Power Rangers.

:dead:

Yeah That's great :lol:

The plushie Idea isn't so bad, other than the fact you have a group of 14 Year old girls carrying around a plush doll... Arent they a little old for that?

Eh, I wouldn't go THAT far. It's getting really good reviews, NT:TNM and Power Rangers never really did.

Hmmm. Curious I am about this new series....but still....

The thought of seeing Zoycite & Malakite in live action form makes me tremble...

Anyone who has watches Sailor Moon Uncut will know what I mean *shudder*.

*hint* They're gay.

LOL dude, I didn't even think of that. They haven't even casted those two yet as far as I know.

jadite looks like a Woman tho...

Just wait till the Outer Seshi come on the show, and I think you'll be fine. Cousins my ass :lol: .

well.. it certainly looks better than the live action AMERICAN version of SM.

trust me. I saw a promotional episode of this at a con a couple of years ago.. it was the most painful 15 minutes or so of my entire life.. I am SO not exagerating.. If i can find a link for that thing I will send it.

Ah yes, Saban's Sailor Moon from before DiC got the licence.

Saw the intro. That was more than enough.

But good God, is it ever funny! Completely unintentionally, of course.

Sayonara.

i honestly wanted to pour acid in my eyes to make the images go away. No one should willingly subject themselves to that horror.

I hope i never have to see it again.

:lol:

Why does that remind me of Chuckie the doll?

:lol: Ihave the saban one on my computer... God that was crap.

Hrm.. The Outer Senshi you say? Looking forward to that!

Hmm... Can't imagine why its getting good reviews... perhaps it has something to do with the *ahem* well-built girls in ridiculously short skirts... not to mention the 'panty-shots' when they twirl around... :roll: :lol:

"well Built"?

Perhaps if people like flat chested, scrawny 14 year olds.
(Yes the actresses are around 14-16)

*shrug* Hey, I've only seen a few screenshots. And the aforementioned Panty Shot that someone at another forum seems to find so hilarious. :roll: :lol:

Well, Atleast to me, the "Panty Shots" Seem more like "Short short" shots, they are very much like Boy-Legged swimsuit bottoms.

I could post a pic, but meh that's just to perverted -_-
