Wasn't Naoko extremely disappointed with how the original anime went? If so I can understand why she'd be extremely hands-on with Sailor Moon's revival.

They did that in the English dub too, at least when Cloverway took over. I remember Amy answering the phone saying "Anderson residence" in the DiC dub, whereas in one of the later episodes of S when one of the villains announces the names of the characters (I think when they're infiltrating Hotaru's school) they say "Amy Mizuno."

Is it alright to post anime.txt in here? Because, oh boy, here's a doozy: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-05-23/new-sailor-moon-premiere-event-excludes-men-unless-accompanied-by-women/.74840 quote:... Cue: quote:What about transsexuals? quote:Not allowing men unless they're accompanied by a woman? I don't know if the publisher of Vivi is trying to say that this is meant to be an exclusive, "ladies only event" but it does come across as being rude. And I'm not even a guy and I feel this way. =_= It would be better to require a dress code than to select attendees based on gender and who they're attending the event with. quote:It's great to know most everyone is okay with this, now I can finally open up the cafe I wanted. No blacks unless accompanied by whites, no gays unless accompanied by straights. The name will be "19th Century Taste". quote:
Of course, the real reason is this quote:This is a promotional event and they want demographic-appropriate optics. It's designed to make sure there aren't a bunch of photos of the Sailor Moon premiere where it's completely flooded with male otaku.

I'm okay with this, for a variety of fun and exciting reasons! 1)It's in Japan. Uh, yeah, wasn't gonna happen for me anyway. 2)It makes sense to me. Even though I do think Sailor Moon's intended audience is female, it's irrelevant since it's a private event held by a company that is allowed to be particular about its guest list. So, there's not even any room for social justice arguments. Which leads me to my next point... 3)Internet SJW tears. Even when I agree with whatever cause they're representing, they're so wound up about everything that I'd rather not associate with them. Getting to sit back and watch them whine though, bust out some motherfucking popcorn, y'all.  I'm still trying to avoid getting hyped up about this show, but I've been enjoying the idea of new Sailor Moon more and more. Can't wait to see how all the SAILOR SCOUTZ die at the end of this new arc to give Sailor Moon her super duper mega power, whatever it is.

This comment reminds me of this macro. The rose is essential - it distracts the Monster of the Week so Sailor Moon can use her tiara and/or magic healing wand.

All I remember about Tuxedo Mask is that Sailor Moon and co usually get their asses kicked for no reason, then Tuxedo Mask shows and says "use your finishing move, Sailor Moon!" and then she did. I don't even remember him doing anything other than that. Didn't Naoko at one point say that she feels all Sailor Moon adaptions are made from a male sorta point of view and that's part of the reason Tuxedo Mask gets a bigger role than the one he's got in the manga? I for one am excited for a roseless Mask.

It's always been the series's neatest quality. Usagi is clumsy, dumb, petty, jealous, and overall a turd of a person a majority of the time. Blah blah blah power of friendship she gets serious etc, but there are still some absolutely Seinfeld-esque moments for her throughout the anime. It's great, since it's nearly a Cinderella story where one of Cinderella's sisters gets the glass show. Usagi is far from perfect, and it just makes all the non-magical girl stuff in the series magic in their own way.
