I still like the Sailor Moon anime and glad Takeuchi got a version closer to her manga but for me personally I think I vastly prefer Precure and Nanoha over Sailor Moon

Though I'm gonna be super curious how they do Stars for Crystal

I liked cardcaptor sakura more than sailor moon tbh.

it's not a competition but :same:

but maybe it's my nostalgia talking since CCS was my first encounter with anime fandom communities.

crystal doesn't interest me but there's a ton of value to the sailor moon manga for its art, like it just constantly looks gorgeous. pluto is so much better there it's not even funny.

there's also great content on dynasty

pluto is the one character who definitely wins out in the manga compared to the anime yeah

and im def. not saying the manga is bad

I think manga Saturn also is visually a much stronger design. Some of the set pieces and full spreads with her are amazing.

The S season Crystal is actually a pretty good watch as while it stays close to the source it also is more of an adaptation. Toei going Chiaki Kon as the director probably helped with that

So is Sailor Moon Crystal like a more faithful adaptation of the source material? It’s on Hulu too which made me remember that that was a thing, although it’s not like im gonna stop watching the original because that’s still pretty great.

one thing i'll say for the manga is that i prefer its more gender-fluid Haruka over the anime's always masc-presenting Haruka

Rei is rad in general, I like that she can just do magic as like, a thing separate from being a guardian.

I've been watching the Rockman EXE anime and it's pretty fun, has some of the best facial expressions ever on top of the hilariously dated fansubs.



Netto lost and Rockman got deleted :smith: Granted he does come back but it's loving brutal

Yeah, I liked the early stuff even if I could only make myself read it in small doses, but as it is now it's one of my favorite series currently running.

You ever find a Mediafire folder with DVD rips of an anime you liked 13 years ago and thought had entirely disappeared from the Internet but you're hesitant to revisit it because you remember it being kinda lovely about trans stuff?

Cuz it's Kyouran Kazoku Nikki.

For most of the anime that I had downloaded when I was younger, I'm pretty sure I got official DVD copies when they became available. Particularly Slayers, Magic Knights Rayearth and... I wanna say Nadesico.

The only one that I didn't get was one that never really got a western release: YKK or Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. But I was able to score its (somewhat) spiritual successor, Aria.

I was a "watch anime in 3 parts on Youtube" guy and ended up seeing stuff like Read or Die that way

(Aniplex please put Read or Die on Funimation thanks)

Her growth through the series has been gradual but realistic, yet she is still clearly the same awkward dipshit she's always been

I like that in the omake chapters certain characters are her friend no matter what alternate universe it's in

I've watched the Watamote anime at least four times, first time by myself and the others with different people. I've been meaning to check out the manga because I keep hearing about how she gets better and I really want to see that.

I can't remember what my first seasonal show was...don't even remember exactly when I switched from just watching things that I happened to find on DVD or were on tv to more actively following what was currently airing. Looking at what was airing I had definitely started paying attention by 2007 because I watched quite a few of that year's shows either when they aired or soon after.

e: tbh thinking back I don't know how much of that was me becoming more clued into new shows and how much was new stuff becoming easier to find & watch (& how much was getting faster internet lol)
