I find it pretty hilarious how basically all the analysis tries to get around the fact that this is a show where lesbian sex giving you magical powers is something that happens in every episode so far.

ikuhara did not create sailor moon, he adapted 3/5ths of the manga and also created a movie about how tuxedo mask met an alien boy when he was like 5 and the alien was gay and came back to earth in his 20s to take mamoru away with him and when it didnt work he resorted to trying to kill his girlfriend and kidnapping him.

it is faithful in the sense that one of the producers decided they had to adapt one chapter to one episode period and there is no room to make any changes or additions except for one really stupid one, which is working out real well for a monthly manga that had chapter counts ranging from 40 to 120 and pacing all over the place and could really benefit from double the number of episodes so the parts that are lacking could be fleshed out. basically the original anime started a month after the manga so there was a lot of pressure to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN every chapter so the anime could progress since there were 4 episodes coming out a month which means a 1:1 adaption is ocmpletely hosed. ikuhara's contributions to the anime include making a bunch of gay villains and also making the lesbian good guys in the third arc pseudo-antagonists until the episode after the end of it. that isn't to say his directing is bad in fact its wonderful and probably a big part of the success of the original anime. the staff list for the original anime is crazy and a huge combination of toei talent that would later go on to become directors and series writers in their own right (the 3 series directors were junichi sato, ikuhara, and igarashi (doremi, star driver), enokido was also one of the main writers and this is where he and ikuhara probably decided to make their own magical girl thing and you got utena) aers fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Jan 21, 2015 |

That's something to get around? 'Lesbian sex is awesome, rapemurder is significantly less awesome' is a pretty good way to boil down this series's themes. If you'll permit me to be a giant pedant, though, I don't remember the Yuri Approved stuff actually doing anything (let alone anything useful) until the latest episode. It mostly seemed to be the Court going 'fine, fine, you can keep mooning after this human girl, just remember to keep up your rapemurder quotas, ya hear?'

I think the latter is massively incorrect, but hey everyone's got their opinions. As long as it doesn't get as bad as the KLK thread (Read: Some dude doing a run down of not sexy this scene is supposed to be and the severity of it), it's cool.

I'd say it's a show about titty anime that also happens to include a hell of a lot of anime tits. The purpose of the anime tits is because (a) teenage lesbians make Ikuhara horny, and (b) he's an artist genuinely interested in how art works and what it has to say about society, and his preferred form of art to examine is lesbian titty anime (with the occasional gay dick anime thrown in for good measure) because teenage lesbians make him horny.

crystal is bad because they needed double the episodes per arc to flesh out all the characters that dont get time in the manga, the whole idea to do the manga's plotline without the changes the anime made (for various reasons, one major one was the manga simply wasnt written when they were plotting some of the anime) and actually adapt it would be fine.. but yeah idk. someone making dumb decisions somewhere.

Everything I've heard about her says that Takeuchi is more controlling than a dominatrix in a dungeon, and doesn't want anyone to mess around with her baby this time around. Which makes the continuance of Crystal a surprise to me considering the awful rear end art. aers posted:crystal is bad because they needed double the episodes per arc to flesh out all the characters that dont get time in the manga

I just noticed the fluers de lis imagery in the court heraldry, which just made me think how obvious some of the imagery really was during those scenes. The court itself is a giant fleur de lys, with the judge being the large leaf in the middle and the prosecutor/attorney are the side leaves, theres even the band in the middle. Ginko and Lulu always flanking each side of Kureha also makes me think of this. Kureha's rifle even has a similar symbol. What I'm saying is, Kureha is Jesus and the bear attacks are her 40 days in the desert.

And the tempter came and said to Kureha, "If you are the protagonist, command that these girls flirt with one another." But she answered and said, "It is written, 'Woman does not live by sexual tension alone, but by character development and plot.'"
