There is a group on Facebook by the name of "Waifus Abused Intensively For U" that normalizes the abuse against woman by using 'cute' anime drawings that show women abused in both violent and sexual ways. This group has been reported several times and each time the response is as follows: "Thanks for...
Lets get FB to hear us!
Recently I saw a question on tumblr asking why there was no Sailor Earth. There is no Sailor Earth because Earth's protector is Prince Endymion.
Really hope the show picks up for more arcs. I really want to see Uranus and Neptune in Crystal! Who's with me?

Anyone else upset that Venus wasn't the one to kill Beryl? She didn't kill her in the 90's anime, either which was really, really upsetting, because it was a big defining moment for her. I get that Sailor Moon is the main character, and I love her, but why is it so bad to let the other scouts shine once in awhile?
Lately I’ve been noticing that a lot of fans are forming new theories about Sailor Cosmos. One theory is that she’s Princess Serenity from a AU Sailor Moon where the Moon Kingdom was destroyed. As interesting as I find these fan theories to be, I feel like they should be fan fiction instead, because didn’t the manga pretty much clarify who Sailor Cosmos is? I think the 90’s anime (which did NOT feature Sailor Chaos at all.) might have confused fans, or been to unclear. It was revealed after Galaxia was killed that Chibi Chibi’s real form is Sailor Cosmos (not ChibiUsa’s sister or daughter as some fan theories suggest.) Sailor Cosmos came from a different “end” period where everyone Sailor Moon had loved, died. She was lonely and scared, so she took the form of Chibi Chibi and went back in time to help guide Sailor Moon in defeating Chaos. What happened to Sailor Cosmos after everything was all said and done was kind of left up in the air… I personally think that timelines were re-written, because I’d like to believe the best happened for her. It’s possible that her timeline was set in stone and that while Sailor Moon’s could change, hers couldn’t. If that’s the case, I believe she went back in renewed with courage and hope, and found a way to reclaim everything that she lost.
I wanted to take a moment to write about Sailor Jupiter. She is by far one of my favorite Sailor Scouts. I’ve read a few articles about her written by people who claim she has no personality, but I just don’t see that. She’s me. I related to her in school. She was that girl was tough, who didn’t let anyone know they hurt her, even when they did. She was one of the guys, but really wanted to be one of the girls. Her tough persona was who she was, she wasn’t hiding anything. She’s just her. She’s PERFECT the way she is. She’s also loyal. So very loyal. She’s Usagi’s protector in a way the other scouts couldn’t have been. Isn’t she always the first to stand up? The last one to back down? Jupiter is amazing. Mako-chan is amazing. Plus come on, it was pretty cool how she just snatched her transformation pen and BAM BAM, she was Sailor Jupiter. She didn’t even need to be told what to do. That’s a BASC right there (Badass Sailor Scout ^_~) I love all the scouts. I hate seeing them picked at, because I feel like each one of them represents some kind of inner beauty we all feel we relate to. Each scout, I promise you, has helped someone emotionally. I just felt like speaking up for Jupiter, because she’s so very special to me. <3

So this is Pluto in SMC. What does everyone think of her so far? Does she match your expectations? And do you want to see Uranus and Neptune?
I don't personally like her. I think the 90's anime one looks closest to how she looked in the manga.
With Season ones success, many of us moonies were sweating it worrying that we wouldn’t be getting a chance to meet ChibiUSA! A lot of us are used to the original anime, in which Sailor ChibiMoon didn’t appear until much later (even though ChibiUsa did.) We were told that Sailor Moon wouldn’t be going past a specific episode count and so we believed that possibly this meant we wouldn’t get a chance to meet one of our favorite characters. But Animate Girls Festival in Tokyo just confirmed a second season will be happening!
Does this mean that we might see more seasons in the future? Is it possible that the shows success was greater than expected and producers are thinking about furthering it? I sure hope so! It’s been great to have a change up from the original anime and this one follows VERY closely to the manga with only slight differences. If you haven’t read the manga, I suggest you do it! If you like this season so far, you’ll love it for sure!
You know this was part of the original run, right? It’s not a second season, it’s the second half of the first season.
Originally they were calling it the entire first season, now it's broken up into actual two seasons which is giving fans hope of a third season being picked up.
I’ve just downloaded the Sailor V fan made game. Or, well, I downloaded it at 6 AM in the morning when I should have been asleep. Because of this game, I stayed up an extra three hours. I’m not sure how I’m awake right now to type this… Must be magic. The game is the most ridiculously addicting game I have ever played. It’s almost like Super Mario (Keyword: Almost) but with a super bad ass Sailor V. I’m not a big phone gamer person. The small screen typically pisses me off, but this game? This Sailor V game? It has me hooked. It’s quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever downloaded onto my phone, and with Sailor Moon Crystal re-awakening my love of all things Sailor Moon, this game was just the perfect addition to my little moon obsessed world. I always liked Sailor Venus, but I never considered her my “favorite” scout. I’m finding my opinion of her changing with SMC. Where Mars and Jupiter used to be my favorites, I find now that I really, really love Venus - so as you can imagine, when I saw this game.. I pretty much started drooling. It was late, so I didn’t really look at the developers. I plan to do that at some point today, but the game is amazing. The only complaint is that when I get to the boss and have to “spin” I get stuck. I keep spinning but go no where. This is a minor problem and probably a glitch they’ll fix. Not nearly bad enough to get me not to play considering how much I LOVE this game! Seriously, I feel like I just bought a 40 something game. That’s how awesome this game is. I want more. I need more. SAILOR V!
First and foremost, let me start by saying how absolutely pumped I have been about Sailor Moon Crystal. As a hardcore “moonie” from the time I was six, I have always held this show dear to me. As a kid, I’d run around with my sailor moon toys and pretend to transform during recess. I even remember dragging my grandmother to Block Buster so that I could rent sailor moon tapes when I was to impatient to wait for them to air on cartoon network. I learned two very important things from Sailor Moon. One was that it was okay to be girly and be a dreamer. Two was that you could be those things and also be a badass. Look at Jupiter, she was constantly love struck and yet when push came to shove… that never hindered her. She came out on top as one of the most determined and loyal scouts. She kicked major ass. The same could be said for Venus. So why am I bringing this up? Because I recently stumbled upon a blog post that I truly believe warps everything that Sailor Moon stands for… and in the name of feminism. In an article titled “What Sailor Moon Lacks for Women in 2014” the author goes on to criticize the artwork of the anime. The women are to leggy, they’re to thin. She picks at the voices, complaining that they are to high and squeaky in comparison to the original anime (Side note: Didn’t you know that the majority of the voice actors are the same? Hello!) She even goes on to criticize Serena’s desire to be a Princess. She compares the show to movies like Frozen, that don’t center around romance (Not that Sailor Moon does, I consider it a good 50/40 mix) and goes on to list all the ways the creators could make Sailor Moon feminist friendly! She’s even calling for LGBT characters to be brought back, even though Zoisite is straight (Even rumored to have had a thing with Ami/Mercury!) in the manga, and Neptune and Uranus, as well as the starlights, did not appear this early in the manga OR anime. Now, I may catch heat for this… but this attitude is exactly why I do not and refuse to identify as a feminist. I’m all about girl power, but why exactly do we feel the need to tell young girls that it’s BAD to want to be a princess? And why exactly are we so upset that the Sailor Scouts are depicted as beautiful in Sailor Moon Crystal? I, being a huge fan, was thrilled to see how close to the manga they looked. The article calls for the creators to give Usagi something outside of being a girlchild, and I have to ask, are we watching the same anime? This Usagi (Crystal as opposed to Original) seems far more confident. She draws inspiration from her friends and Mamo-chan. She’s stronger, she’s more willing to run into the fray. She’s much more of a hero in this series than she ever was in the original version. The next thing she calls for is for the creators to remove Usagi’s love of food and fear of weight gain. Why? As a big girl, I’m not offended by this. It’s a problem majority of girls face. We love food and we don’t want to get fat. Outside of that, this is a key point in who Usagi is as a character. She LOVES food. She has loved food since the original manga came out, she’s loved food in the original anime. Is it really only now becoming a problem? Seriously? Another problem the author apparently has is the girls desire to find boyfriends. To this, all I have to say is “Pshhhhhhhhappppuuuhhhhlease.” And if you can’t translate that, I’ll elaborate. Just about every woman dreams of finding her “one true love” and it’s NOT a bad thing. We’re creating a world full of bitter women with this attitude. You don’t have to want a boyfriend, lady, but you really shouldn’t tell other women THEY shouldn’t want one. Let them think for themselves! Isn’t that what feminism is about? A womans right to think FOR themselves? Sometimes, with people like this author, I feel like all we’ve done is turn sexism in on ourselves. We’re our own worst enemy. Next the writer complains that women are overly sexualized in Sailor Moon Crystal and that everyone has the same body shape. It’s anime. I don’t think I’ve seen an anime yet that does not have this “problem” - though with the sailor scouts active lives, is it really far fetched to believe they would all be thin? Fighting evil by moonlight probably burns a lot of calories. As for them being overly sexualized, I’ve looked. They aren’t. Not Sailor Moon anyway. Wow, they showed a little bit more legs. Some of the bad guys have cleavage. Get over it. When we start seeing these characters run around in thongs with pasties over their nipples, then lets worry. Until then, you really have nothing to complain about here. As mentioned before, she also calls for LGBT characters (and trans characters, as she states - I assume she didn’t know that the “T” in LGBT stands for Trans… but whatever.) to be returned to the series. This statement makes me think that she is NOT as big a fan of the show as she says she is, because if she was she’d know that in the current storyline of Sailor Moon Crystal, NONE of these characters have been introduced. Not in the Manga or the original anime. One of the last ones is my favorite. She demands that Usagi stop needing a man to save her all the time! …Because you know, Usagi didn’t save Mamo-chan at all. It makes me scratch my head as to why people can be oblivious to these sort of things. Usagi saved Mamo-chan a few times, but that’s not important? All that’s important is that Tuxedo Mask would intervene whenever the sailor scouts got into a little trouble? Forget the fact that he was more of a distraction to the enemy, which bought the scouts time to take them out. I thought of it more as a team effort, instead of a man sweeping in to save the day. The last two are so ridiculous, I almost don’t want to mention them. But I will anyway. She complains about Usagi’s dream of being married with kids… Yes, THAT is what she complains about. Because it’s totally awful for a woman to WANT to have a family. SERIOUSLY? Girl, you need a reality check. Aspirations that are not for you, do not mean they are not for someone else! And lastly, she wants Mamo-chan to have a personality. Apparently he’s to much of a beefcake for her. To this, all I can say is that you are no better than the men who have complained about female characters having no personalities. You calling Mamo-chan a beefcake is the equivalent of a man calling a female character a bimbo. He HAS a personality. He’s loyal, determined, he’s distant (because he can’t remember WHO he is) and he’s driven. He’s also confused, he’s constantly feeling and recalling glimpses of memories from when he was Prince Endymion. HOW is that a personalityless beefcake, exactly!? In conclusion, can we stop trying to force feminism where it doesn’t need to be? Please? Sailor Moon is awesome. It’s easy to identify with and it teaches our girls that being a girl is NOT wrong, nor do you have to compromise being a girl for being tough. You can be BOTH.
