There is an OVA series with three parts, and a TV series that is its
sequel.

Now, what would really have been funny is if she'd said, "No, there's
no evidence for any unresolved sexual tension. It's quite clear that
there's resolved sexual tension and that they had a really good time
resolving it."

You're right - and I thought of it seconds after I sent the other one.

Because AFAIC, there's darned *little* unresolved sexual tension, but
tons of resolved sexula tension in SM....all versions.

There's *not* a lot of UST in Sailormoon?  What, you think Rei and
Minako gave in and actually *did* get a room sometime during the
course of the live-action series?  (Now five minutes afterwards,
*that* I'm willing to believe...)

senchy, and who is attracted to who. I think I saw
something brief between ami and yasoggey when they
first met, rite  before loona jumpt on her. one more.
I cant remember when it was. I think it was when
zoisite took naru for one of the rainbow cristels. I
think ami had dun a anime fall for sum reason, and I
think makoeto could see down her skirt, and by the way
she was looking and her slite blush. I did not think
she minded.

You know, I really don't like this pairing.  Ami is so much like me and
Mako-chan is so much like my sister that making them a couple squicks me
out.  I'm much more a fan of Ami/Rei... or possibly Ami/Minako.

I also like the Ami/Minako pairing myself, and
something that could actually work.

My second fave pairing: Ami/Naru.

Can't Naru have a little yuri fun with any of the
Senshi?

I usually just lurk because I'm more into the video
game section of fandom, but I had to share this.

I'm currently playing the game Harvest Moon: More
Friends Of Mineral Town; for those unfamiliar with the
series, it's a farming sim in which you raise crops,
breed livestock and try to woo the locals. In this
particular version you control a female character.

So, I've got my potential beau interested in me, but I
need to get my house expanded. Now I'm running around
trying to take care of that before I pull out the Blue
Feather (essential for proposing) and ask him to marry
me.

ANYhoo, just for giggles I was wandering around the
town showing the Feather to random people to see their
reactions. On the whole everyone is all, "Yeah, go
you!" or reminiscing over when they were first
married.

Then I discover that someone at Natsume must have been
asleep while translating.

I go to the library to show the feather to Mary, and
she says, "Congratulations! You should really keep
that fresh for the important girl though!"

...What?

Then Ann at the tavern, "Congratulations! I'm sure
she's waiting for you!"

...WHAT?

I then laughed profusely. This is a keeper, and
inspires silly yuri fluff-fic, which I may have to
write.

...Also explains why I often see Mary and Ann walking
up in the mountains together.

EEEEEE, Harvest Moon! I love Harvest Moon. Anyway.
That's totally awesome. It seems to me that it might
be deliberate, though...cause you know, how else would
somebody make two mistakes like that?

Hmm...now I have to play the game again and write some
fluffy fanfiction, cause I don't remember much of the
game.

I'd like to rent & watch Sailor Moon - yeah, I know, it will take years
- but the very first DVD is unavailable at GreenCine. I've read on the
web that if you're new to the series you might as well jump in at S3
anyway - and since it seems the yuri content begins in S3, that's where
I'm sure I'd find the story becoming more interesting.

If the series is as good as I hear it is, I could just buy the damn
thing and not have to worry about waiting for rentals to arrive. But
I've never seen _any_ "magical girl" animes before, and I just can't see
it being a genre that I'd bother to watch more than once. I may be wrong
there, but until I've watched it I really won't know.

So I guess my questions are: if I skip straight to season 3, will I
understand what's going on? Will I find that knowing what's going to
happen would kill any interest in revisiting the earlier seasons? *Is*
the series good enough that I'd probably want to own it anyway? I can
buy the subbed S1 for $42 - though I understand the DVD quality is
seriously lacking.

Thanks, that's helpful, because I also hate starting anything after the
beginning or finishing it before the end (being seriously
obsessive-compulsive :). I'll skip S1 and 2.

The plots of the various seasons are independent story arcs, with the
exception that the 5th season ("Sailor Stars", not released in the US, but
still out there in fansubs) which appears, at the start, to be a
continuation of the 4th season story arc.

There are really two story arcs in the second season, one of which is
anime-only filler. The second introduces Chibi-Usa and Sailor Pluto, who
appear in subsequent seasons.

You can certainly figure out what's going on in the 3rd season if you look
at some kind of guide to the characters. You might miss some nuances in
their relationships, based on past history.  Looking at some of the manga
might help, though there are differences.

Sailor Moon is a marathon to watch; it's 200 episodes in the five seasons,
plus a couple of specials and movies. You'd have to like it for itself and
have some tolerance for things like the monster-of-the week in the plots. I
like to see the interactions of the characters over time.

Yeah, that sort of thing can really mess with ya. Like I have a couple
of friends who look (and often act) just like Meryl and Milly from
Trigun. Makes any sort of interest in illicit Trigun material nill.

-When can we go to the place where we're forgiven?-

While we are on the Sailor Moon thread (even if the
series reverted back to its producers, it's always a
hot topic)....

One night I finished watching Legend of Lemnear (not
Yuri), the Sailor Moon R Movie (the series with many
possible yuri couples), and Plastic Little
(fan-service but still a bit yuri-fied), and I was
wondering.....

What if Satoshi Urushibara got a hold of the Sailor
Moon series and did it his own creation? Do you feel
it will be much more yuri-fied, or will fan-service
get in the way (anyone say Sailor Moon/Plastic Little
crossover?)

Carmen ^_^

Well like anything it would have that directers style on it, the question would
also come to
qhat limets he would have Plastic little was an OAV, same with Lameir. Japanies
anime does
have nudity but remember sailor moon is considered a property for little girls
so the level of
fan servous would not be allowed in that. The series is like a big cosmedics
comercial,
something that explane long running anime series need to have 'upgrades'. So who
really
knows. It would definetly be different.

  It would be alot of work no matter what given the episode count per season,
which finaly
helped me understand why there was so much filler (Something i hate in just
about every
series on the planet).

Sailor Moon is for little girls? I thought that was just the
americanized version...

Ashley

Hello all!!!

I bought an uncut, complete box set of Sailor Moon a few months ago.
While the quality of animation isn't the best because of the age of
the anime, it was nice to see the actual story as it was written
rather than the hacked, Americanized, commercialized story that was
specifically marketed for children.  The original story was anything but.

The "child" version completely changed the relationship between Uranus
and Neptune.  It was refreshing to see their relationship as the
author wrote the story.

I would encourage you to get a copy of the box set if you are able.
It's worth the time and money.

Thanks!!!

Kath

Pardon? Sailor Moon wasn't aimed at children? That's madness, surely. I like the
show, but lets not pretend it's anything other than a kids' show. And I struggle
to believe you actually think all that merchendise sprang up by coincidence. The
US version may have been altered, hacked, mangled, rubbish, or whatever else but
neither version was ever aimed at adults.

In any case, the anime itself is a pretty garbled version of the original manga.
Deciding whether or not this is actually a bad thing is left as an exercise for
the reader.

Since you seem to have some knowledge about this, that we are lacking,
please explain to us just *how* Sailor Moon isnt aimed at adults, and
how the original unmolested version was intended for children. :) Is it
because they are school-girls? If thats the case do you think that all
school-girl animes are meant for children?

Above questions are not intended to be flamage.

Ashley

Japan has different limits for what they view as being appropriate for
children than we do in the US.  We're *way* more restrictive about
what we'll show to kids.  Sailor Moon is shoujo, which means it's made
for young girls.  Just like all your shonen manga/anime like One
Piece, Naruto, etc is made for young boys.  Other age groups may like
it as well, but that's the core audience.

But then we're optionless. If I understand the history correctly, the
only two versions are the Dic dub, which everyone seems to agree is
horrible, and the ADV subtitled which is far from perfect but has a
decent translation and doesn't rewrite the story. Unless there's another
release, I'd say ADV was the better bet, since the fansubs are no longer
available.

(I've found French fansubs of S1 on gnutella, but since my French is
little better than my Japanese, which is non-existent, that doesn't help
me much :)
