Happy birthday, Ami Mizuno!
So you know that thing weebs do on a favourite character’s birthday where they’ll like eat that character’s favourite food or something?
Yeah I made a sandwich. Crazy. It’s just butter and cheese slices. This almost feels cheap since my usual breakfast routine is basically this but toasted, but who cares. Anyway this bread was good, felt really spongy by sliced bread standards, pretty epic stuff. Ami’s got good taste in food if she likes sandwiches so much.
Sometimes people even put merch of the character in question by the food item, but these are the only things I even own with Ami on them, and I couldn’t be bothered going to the effort of setting a plate of food up with some manga volumes for a photo, so separate photos it is. But hey these are cool though, I’ve still not read the manga oops, and going off of Crystal I think I prefer 90s Ami, but like, she still looks super pretty on them, I’m happy I got these. I actually got the Eternal volume in Edinburgh from a shop where I saw an Ami plush, but I couldn’t really tell if it was a licensed plush or not and it looked kinda shit anyway so I passed.
And then here’s what’s still my favourite picture of Ami. From my favourite episode of Sailor Moon too, which was all about Ami. Girl’s really great in the 90s anime. Wasn’t fond of the inner senshi in Crystal just being accessories to Usagi, but they’re all fleshed out quite nicely in the 90s anime, Ami especially being someone who gets a lot of really nice episodes devoted to her. Now the character writing in the 90s anime for the inner senshi’s still not like, majorly amazing or anything, they’re still sorta status quo characters and a lot of the development they get will just maybe be one thing across a single episode that’s never really relevant again, but in Ami’s case that stuff was so consistently enjoyable anyway and her personality and design so likeable that I never really minded. She’s just so smart and sweet and cute! Despite having one of the most subdued personalities of the inner senshi she’s still just as passionate as the rest of them, case in point being how she seeks out the musician who composed a song she liked to approach him with her own lyrics she wrote, from the episode the above image is from. Ami’s amazing is the point I really love her, happy birthday Ami.
