(Because there is a method to my madness!)
A: Yes.
Q: Huh?
A: Well, she's an interesting character. She's a cute and innocent kid to some people, and a devil-brat to others. She's got the sweet little girl side, the awful Problem-child side, and the nasty evil Black Lady side. I think she's there mostly for people to hate. I mean, you usually dislike the badguys, but she's a consistently annoying brat. I think she's sort of every fan's little sister. Any of you who have younger siblings know what I'm talking about. Sometimes you love your little sister or brother. Sometimes they do something really sweet, or they're just darling when they're asleep. There's other times when they drive you up the wall, following you around, or copying everything you say. And then there's the times when Mom asks who ate all the chocolate cake, and even though your little sister has cake crumbs and chocolate frosting smeared all over her face, she tells Mom you did it, and she is believed. Another function that I believe Chibi Usa originally had was to give the little kids the show was, waaaaaay back in Japan, intended for. You'd have to see the commercials from taped-off-TV to know what I mean. The kids are like, 6 years old and younger! Sure, every little girl idolizes Sailor Moon, and wants to be the hero, but they're also afraid of thunder, and occasionally get lost. Chibi Usa gives them a bit of real life.
Q: So, why is it Chibi Usa's Place of Evil?
A: Well, because she is! She's a nasty rotten little brat, she causes all sorts of trouble, and she turns into Blacklady! For a full list, check out Why Chibi Usa is So Evil
Q: So why the heck do you like Chibi Usa!?!?!
A: Because I enjoy rooting for the badguy! I am celebrating the moon-destroying, Black Lady-becoming, brooch-stealing side of this little pink monster! I am the type of person who rooted for the snake in Anaconda, the shark in Jaws, and the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. Plus, I identify with her as a whiny, clumsy, annoying type of person. Basically, I just need to die my hair pink and I really will be Chibi Usa. June of 2001: I dyed my hair pink. Permanently. Just 'cause.
Q: I still don't get it!
A: Give it up. You're hopeless. Email me with any specific questions.
Q: Why do you hate the Sailor Moon dub?
A: Because Chibi Usa got the raw end of the deal. She got a stupid name, a stupid voice, and a stupid character. I am, however, very pleased with her new voice actress. On top of that, they covered up their transformations, cut out all the parts where the characters slap each other, or are nude, cut entire episodes, and cute out all the scenes where Usagi spanks Chibi Usa. They made a decent show very little-kid-ish because in America cartoons are only for kids. This is not to say that I don't like other dubs. I love the dubbed Tenchi series'! The Dragonall Z dub was a very good one too. Also, Sailor Moon is not the worst. Cardcaptors is.
Q: I hate you. How can I express my displeasure, since I cannot reach through my computer monitor and strangle you?
A: Well, you can email me, sign my guestbook, or ICQ me! #38520695
Q: I like you. How can I express my satisfation?
A: See above.
