Sailor Moon Confessions

Confess anything Sailor Moon related

[sailormoonconfess]

Sometimes I feel like I'm out of place of the Sailor Moon fandom or an outsider just because I still think the original 1990's anime is the best version mostly (minus SuperS and parts of Stars), and it's like ever since Crystal came out, I've seen people spout out nothing but negative or derogatory remarks towards it, which get upvotes and such, while mine just get glanced at without even a single reply; especially since Crystal Season III came out and was fairly decent, and considering Crystal's fanbase has been so toxic (the majority of it is on par with the MLP fandom), it actually made my interest in the manga dwindle down to nothing (along with Crystal 1-2 being so bad) and ruined it for me to the point where I donated my copies volumes 4-7 of it to my library and I dunno if I'm even gonna keep the rest or not and to the point where a part of me actually wishes Crystal was never even greenlit at all, so I wouldn't have to deal with pricks like that, manga purists are pricks. It actually got to the point where I felt like this: http://seiya-meteorite.deviantart.com/journal/Something-I-Want-to-Say-That-s-on-my-Mind-607290785

Anyone else felt like this? Not like anyone cares...

“I am so freaking hyped that they confirmed super S! woohoo! like I said before I’ve only watched all of the 90’s anime (exept for stars because its freaking impossible to find one measly full episode on youtube!) and I’ve only read the manga up to the end of the black moon arc. I want to see how S, Super S, and Stars really happened because I already knew what really happened in the 1st and 2nd arc in the manga by reading and watching both the anime and manga at the same time. also I can’t wait for Sailor Saturn!!!!!!! “

“The SMC hatedom needs to stop wasting their time hating on something they themselves can avoid. Boycotting and wishing for the series to be cancelled all because the series 'ruined' their childhood won't effect it's run. It's just an anime and it is not harming anyone. You're ruining your own childhood by letting bitterness take over you, and that's just bloody pathetic.”

“Naoko Takeuchi is still praised and defended for being revolutionary when it was Kunihiko Ikuhara who gave us the True Haruka and Michiru. That will never not anger me. She dared to get angry he made Haruka butch and allegedly neutered her characters, who were actually shallow tokens and a straight woman thinking sexual predation was funny. For all the talk of Haruka being genderfluid, note she only becomes FEMININE after Usagi turns her down and she gives up on her crush. That is butch erasure.”

“I find it gross that Yukie Sakou gets accused of being a female pedophile and lolicon, and the accusations that she made Chibiusa wear makeup like a prostitute because of the way her eyelashes and lips got styled. It looks weird for Chibs to have a similar face to older characters, but Naoko Takeuchi's art wasn't that innocent either about it.”

”The fact it SMC was popular and successful enough to get another season despite being the most badwrong adaptation of Sailor Moon ever gives me hope that the legacy of Sailor Moon will never die, and that one day we will get the perfect anime series that improves the manga.”

“The sign that Sailor Moon Crystal may continue fills me with rage. Were fan boycotts not enough? Why do these greedy soulless animators and writers insist on hurting people's childhoods?”

“I wish when discussing Usagi's suicide attempt, people in the fandom would stop saying that self-harm makes you a shitty and irresponsible person that doesn't value others' lives and that it's done to abuse everyone else. Especially when that's how they think of real people that attempt suicide or hurt themselves, and they project that onto Usagi or they project their hatred of Crystal and Usagi onto their followers who struggle with that problem.”

“I know that Mamoru's final line in the manga is supposed to be romantic, but I can't not find it a little creepy, given the implications for Usagi character and future fate.”

”There NEEDS to be a Sailor Moon edition of Monopoly! I have a pokemon edition and I play it all the time with my cousins, but I would play a Sailor Moon version all day long! you gotta admit that would be pretty fun to play!”

“I don't like how it feels impossible to like points of SMC and that new magical boy show since a bunch of its fans seem set on hating Crystal fans or anyone lenient on it, calling them losers that like sexist trash that proves the magical girl genre is damaged, while acting like the magical boys should be the standard the genre upholds.”

This is an ask not a confession. To the suicide confession, historical context is nice but nobody reading a comic will think of that scene with "gee I better look up Japan in 1992 to understand this scene before I criticise it!" And that's extremely irrelevent in 2015's Sailor Moon Crystal. Not even Kodansha's translations talk about it where they explain the culture at the end of the book. Don't expect people to just think "What's the cultural context of this" when watching a modern day show

“If any of the characters from Sailor Moon could team up with another character from another show I would want Sailor Jupiter (Makoto) and Toph Beifong from Avatar: The Last Airbender (AND NO NOT THAT GOD AWFUL MOVIE! I mean the actual TV show) that would be one badass teamup! I mean come on that would be AMAZING!”

“Looking back, I can't stand how conceited Usagi was in the original version.”

“People need to understand Japanese cultural context, before they start to give opinion on Usagi's suicide.”
