Stereotypes? No, I didn't mean it like that. There's just these group of kids at my college that stay on campus all day since I think they don't have a means of leaving, they probably get picked up by someone later in the day. These guys flip out to just about anything. They all know each other, too, so it'd be like 20 guys wailing on my ass. It wouldn't be pretty...

I do have a ninja sword, but I guess I don't want to kill them...I'm not great with swords, anyway. I'd be like, "Come on! Show me what you g---ow! oof! jesus, why! oh stop! damn! ouch! .................."

Meira-Bates · 03-30-2004, 10:57 AM

I'd be much the same way with my wakazashi @.@ "Bring it on! OWowwooohGodithurts!!! Take it elsewhere! Take it elsewhere!"

Sorry, been out of town, and building a web site.
Thanks for making this thread GK. Sailor Moon Fans gotta stick together.

Here's how I discovered Sailor Moon. I bought this CD at Best Buy. It had 36 Cartoon Theme Songs on it. I got it for the TMNT theme song, but it turned out to be recorded off the TV. Sucked, so I put the disc away. A week later, my little sister wants to play a game. She wants to play every theme song on that disc and see if I can guess them. I agree, thinking I'm the king of cartoon theme songs. Jhoney Quest, Jetsons, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, TMNT (heh), Powerpuff Girls.......Bleep Bleep Bleep Bleep.....what the heck is that. The humming turns into a theme song. "Fighting Evil by Daylight.....". I'm stumped. My sister laughs, and claims victory. i don't care. I want to know what that song is. I look at the case and it says Sailor Moon. I love the song, and it drove me nuts cuz we didn't have cable then. I wanted to see it sooooo badly. i went to use the can before bed, and was reading the TV guide. I was looking for the Mario Super Show again without any luck, and came to Fox 23 Tulsa. Garfield and Friends, Sherlock Holms (bleh), Sailor Moon......AHHH!
Found it! I was lucky enough to find it on the first episode too! I watched the first two seasons in the american dub and became obsessed. After I found out how much had been cut from it, I found fansubs. Then I became posessed. I went out and found every uncut DVD from ADV, and burned through every one of them, then ordered Japanese DVD's of Sailor Stars. It's one of the best shows ever made. I showed my best friend in Arkansas Sailor Moon, and now we have all night marathons every Summer.

Well, that's my story. Hope you like it.

The thing that makes me mad is that when I talk about it in public, people make fun of me. Macho idiots call the series "girly" when they know nothing about it. It's people like that who are the reason that shows like Sailor Moon get stripped down when brought to America. It burns me up. Ah well dosen't matter. As long as I've got those uncut/subbed DVD's (hugs DVD's). I think it's time to change my avatar again....

愛 · 03-30-2004, 10:40 PM

Well, see, the thing is...the show is girly. It's about a group of girls playing pretty pretty dress up and using girly attacks like Love Chain Encircle. Yeah, they triumph over evil and they are totally sweet, but you have to keep in mind that this show was actually intended for children, and Japanese boys aren't interested in girls, they want robots and destruction. That's just the way it is.

The show is sweet, yes, and it is girly, but those "macho" kids have no right to say anything about it unless they've done research. Why would you care what they say, anyway?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-30-2004, 11:43 PM

You're right. Who gives a crap what they say.
I just wish that American companys realised that not all guys are obsessed with exploding mechas and Dragon Balls, and actually enjoy animes with content. Ah well. That's their problem not ours.

愛 · 03-31-2004, 12:41 AM

If they made the show to be more "macho," they'd lose half of their viewers. Boys have better shows to watch, anyway, so it would be better to aim the theme towards girls.

Oh well, you can't help it.

What content? I can't speak for the LA show, but the anime followed the same outline every episode.

Its like a mad-lib. Allow me

>Sailor Scout< becomes fixated/involved with >noun<. >Villain< requires energy from >noun< and uses >monster< to steal energy. >Sailor Scout< faces >problem< and eventually prevails. >Sailor Scout< learns >moral<.
Luna >bitches<.

Roll Credits.

Thank You! Thank You!

That's the most correct thing I've read in a long time.

*Voltron* · 03-31-2004, 01:00 AM

Let's try it.

>Sailor Scout< becomes fixated/involved with >noun<. >Villain< requires energy from >noun< and uses >monster< to steal energy. >Sailor Scout< faces >problem< and eventually prevails. >Sailor Scout< learns >moral<.
Luna >bitches<.

Sailor JUPITER becomes involved with this GUY who owns a MOTOR CYCLE. The NEGAVERSE requires energy from the MOTOR CYCLE GUY and uses ELEPHANTOR to steal his energy. SAILOR JUPITER must overcome her fear of ELEPHANTOR and eventually prevails. SAILOR JUPITER learns PERSISTENCE. Luna TELLS SERENA TO STOP EATING.

Roll Credits.

**GK Punk** · 03-31-2004, 01:02 AM

...No one told me Voltron was involved in making a new season of the Animated Sailor Moon. (Damn dude you've got it nailed)

My Biggest complaint with Sailor Moon (anime) was that each season Starts heavy in storyline. after that, it's like 30 filler eps, then we get more heavy story eps to end the season.

Thankfully, the LA version isn't nearley that bad.

愛 · 03-31-2004, 01:04 AM

Heh, you only need to really watch the first and last episode of the season, and you'll understand what's going on. It's that sad.

**GK Punk** · 03-31-2004, 01:45 AM

lol Yeah totally.

I think Stars was a little better about it, still alot of filler just seemed to be less of it.

愛 · 03-31-2004, 02:08 AM

Stars was better because there was so much action in it. Stuff was happening left and right. It was great.

Still no LA episode 25...it better be up tomorrow!

*Voltron* · 03-31-2004, 02:10 AM

It's Japan! Tomorrow is today!

愛 · 03-31-2004, 02:18 AM

No, they're behind by a week because the translators need time to subtitle the episode and encode it before it's put out on the net.

*Voltron* · 03-31-2004, 02:20 AM

...damn translators...

The simple answer is that the writers are lazy. The story starts out great, then they drag it on for God knows how long. The absoulte worst was Sailor Moon Super S. It boiled down to crazy bad guy of the week. The begenning was superb, the end was superb, but if you skipped the 20+ episodes inbetween, you wouldn't have noticed that you missed anything (except the gabillions of crappy bad guys doing the same thing every week). Sonic X did that for a time as well, but they had more ground to cover, so it wasn't so bad. Lazy writers is the answer. The reason that the LA Sailor Moon isn't so bad about that is because there aren't as many episodes, which means fewer fillers, and more story.
