ONE WORD DESCRIPTION
Shoujo
SUMMARY/RECOMMENDATION
If you haven't heard of this anime you must have been locked in a room
for the last 10 years. Sailor Moon is about this 14 year old Junior High
school girl who discovers that she is the beautiful sailor soldier of the
Moon.
It's a humorous and positive anime, which explains the little cult behind
it. However, the anime itself tends to be repetative, which (with SM Super
S) is probably what killed it. I like Sailor Stars however and the movies
are kinda cool too.
CHARACTERS
This series has tons of Sailor Soldiers and Enemies, too many to list
here. Anyway, if you haven't heard of him/her its probably a spoiler and
shouldn't be listed here.
OPENING AND ENDINGS
Two openings to first and second season. Only one opening for the S
season. Two openings and two endings for SS but they are similar. One one
opening for Stars, I think.
MERCHANDISE
I picked up a cool magazine in Japantown last Saturday! It's called
Replicant and it's a magazine full of beautiful anime figurines. The particular
magazine that I picked up had a lot of Eva figures (maybe I'll scan later)
and this really, really beautiful Moon Princess figure. I also scanned
up Cha-Cha because she's pretty cute too.
Replicant Magazine 1
MUSIC/SOUNDTRACK
Many many CDS. I recommend the collection of vocal songs for about $120
which has pretty much all your favorite Sailor Moon songs.
My favorite in particular are the musical CDs (a chorus of women singing
while wearing shiny Sailor soldier outfits? Who can resist?) Musical

TRIVIA
-
Did you know that Zoisite is a man in the Japanese version.
I wonder why they changed it for the stupid homophobic American audiences
and paranoid, overprotective parents?
-
Did you know that the all the violence, crucifications, and
panty shots were cut in the American version?
-
Did you know that the final two episodes of the first season
were combined in the American version because the Sailor Soldiers die in
the 45th episode? The original is still better than the cut and censored
American version, although the battle song kinda sucks. But the ending
song is beautiful, even my SM hating friend liked it.
-
Did you know that other episodes were obliterated/cut/destroyed
in the American version? Cut were episodes 2, 5, 6, 20, 42, 68. And 45
and 46 were combined.
-
I forget what the dub name was, but Mamoru (Darien) calls
Usagi (Serena) "odango atama" in Japanese, which means bun head. I didn't
notice her hair until I read it in a Sailor Moon site.

Playstation Fighting game for Super S Merchandise
There should be tons of merchandise for this series. From CDs to
Wall scrolls to clothing, they're out there. For CDs you should watch out
for the Memorial Box collection (there are two, BGM and the other better
one). There are also some 5-6 beautiful art books by Naoko out there.
There are tons of Sailor Moon websites, so
if you go looking for SM links, try finding a page of just links that organizes
them into categories for easy finding.

Knowledge on Anime: Seen all the TV episodes, most of the later episodes
in Japanese and with Subtitles. I also read the Mixxzine translation of
the manga and totally regret it's ugly transformation into Tokyopop. Tokyopop
is devil spawn, they pirate Asian girls into the US and force them to pose
on cars, don't support them!!!
