A Sailor Moon Fashion-focused blog. All artbook pictures come from MangaStyle.net. Screen caps from episodes by SMCenter. Manga scans from MissDream. PGSM Scans from Three Lights and Kirai PGSM. Sera Myu images from Sera Myu Antics. Anime pictures from...
We interrupt your regularly-scheduled fanart and amigurumi to bring you HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT'S THE CONCEPT ART OF THE BETA OUTERS IN THEIR SAILOR GUARDIAN FORMS (along with the best look we're gonna get at "Forever Sailor Soldiers")
Unexpectedly found at the Sailor Moon Fantasy forums (Italian). No idea where OP originally found these--maybe Fukano Youichi shared them somewhere?
Among other things: Sailor Moon got a different tiara and a skull-crusher of a scepter, Chibi Moon would've inherited the Cutie Moon Rod (and been red), and contrary to what was reported of one Animage article, beta Saturn was bright-ass yellow. Pluto would've changed planet colours, too--maybe this is why her early dolls wore purple?
Hilariously, Neptune barely changed at all, colour-wise. I'm pretty sure Uranus was supposed to be a different shade of orange from Venus; her Lip Rod's design became the basis for Neptune's.
Most curiously--to me, at least--the Outers all have golden chokers with gem decs, mirroring Sailor Moon's choker (well, in her Super Form--it's gold on her Cosmic form here, too), and Uranus and Neptune's Lip Rods both have crescents. Was there a connection?
Are there any monster sketches for the Daimons? I love databooks showing brief bios for the minor/monster characters and hoping there is something on Super S. I mean I saw a sketch picture of Artemis in that kangaroo-boxer so I'm hoping there is stuff like that for the remless/lemures.
Hey there! The answer is… sort of? For Daimons the Anime Memorial books have settei- character sheets- in the back half of the books for each episodic character, like Monster of the Week and Victim of the Day. The two volumes for classic, one for R, and two for S can be downloaded in high quality here, third row

Unfortunately if you want remless/lemures/レムレス/Créatures du Chapiteau/SuperS MOTD whose romanized name no one can agree upon, SuperS settei don’t seem to turn up often, and there weren’t solid anime books produced for that season. The best option I’m finding is
Kodansha TV Magazine Deluxe
Which has both Stars and SuperS anime, eh, guide books? They have a few pages on the MOTD, but it’s screencaps and not settei or full character images. Which is particularly annoying given the Classic Kodansha TV Magazine has full body and full color images of most of the Youma. Past that? There’s plenty of random settei floating around on the web, but the monsters of the day aren’t a big draw so they’re scarce. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
If anyone has a stash of MOTD settei, feel free to spread the love.
Haha I meant to make those missing Crystal and UNV posts by now. Look backs and future plans under the cut.
I’m actually writing this at work yesterday. Did I mention I got a job? Like, I started in June, had my interview in April. Had it for a while actually. Decent pay, benefits, it’s tech support. Given me enough that I paid off all my student loans as of Thursday so that’s neat. I was still in school when I started this blog. Actually with the exception of a final semester C, I had all As and Bs in college during my last 5-7 semesters, then I graduated /just/ under a 3.0. 2.9something. Then I tried my hand at a Masters for a semester. That did not work out. Never had a panic attack before. But hey, one semester was enough to teach me the linux I needed to get my job so, things worked out I guess. Job hunting took about three months of going to all the job fairs and aggressive googling and what not. Still got a job 15 minutes down the road from home, but I’m not complaining still. Yet. Really need to move out sometime soon, but either I give all money money to renting, or I find a roomate which is weirdly hard? I should write about this blog and not just what I’ve done during the this blog’s time huh? Oh and I’m 25 now, like what the hell.
We’re getting a SuperS musical this year, and the next arc of Crystal. The musicals are good for supplying outfits, and I have let myself plant a small seed of hope the new Crystal, at least fashion wise. Since it seems like we’re going to be following the manga to the end at this point, whenever we get SuperS outfits in color, that will be nice. Some cute clothes there. Like most people, I have opinions on Crystal, both the first year and what we can see of the new one, but having opinions is bad online, so I’m not sharing those unless asked. Then you’ll get all the words.
Yeah feel free to hit me up about whatever? I finally opened anon after almost 3 years and I had one, normal question. I know my posts have gone from 500 a month to .03, but I’m still on tumblr every day. Though I think I have a comment on Yuuga I haven’t responded to. Sorry. But if you ever want me to go back and remake my post on X-Outfit or supply commentary on the overall wardrobe of Y-Character or just ask me headcanons about whatever, that’d be cool. As Me About How If This Was 1992 You Could Argue Sailor Moon Isn’t A Magical Girl Series. Ect.
For something that I made as a joke with no initial intention on completing, I am proud of this blog and what it’s done for me. It was helpful to see how I work and figure out what reasonable daily goals I can meet, and it helped with my photoshopping. I used to open every frame as an image and manually drag them in to the same file, then manually center them. I think some of my oldest gifs, pre-this blog, I even made manual frames in the animation box to hide/reveal each layer. I did a 200something frame gif once like that. Don’t make my mistakes. There are shortcuts, use them, if you don’t know, ask. Save yourself. Also by doing this and learning my process, I could translate that to bullshit job hunting words like ‘I work best with a small time frame to complete the required number of tasks for a project’ which could mean ‘do three episodes worth of outfits in two days’ or ‘I am a knowledgeable employee with self-motivation and a strong desire to complete the tasks given to me’. Or something.
Regrets for this blog: I’m not even 500 shy of 5k. Wish I had hit that by now. Oh well. Also I hit 1k in like 3 months so that slowed the fuck down. Spoiler alert: This blog, being started as a joke, was for followers. There’s that whole history of popular blogs and that one person yelling about how elite they were or something and then I started this and here we are. As it is since this is a side-blog I can’t have real communications - thanks tumblr- with any other blogs, not that it matters because social anxiety doesn’t stop for everyone just because they’re online. But yeah there are some blog numbers and junk because it’s been three years and who really cares anymore.
TL:DR: I have a life, it will include producing new content once we get some, talk to me.
