The sum of my experience of Sailor Moon is that I watched the first 12 episodes of the TV show a few years ago. If I knew it got this crazy, I might have stuck with it.

I wonder if it ever struck the rebels as ironic that their planet was named after the personification of divine retribution. Is there a Sailor Nemesis, then? She sounds like just the kind of gritty antihero that Sailor Moon needs. I'm sure I'm describing someone's fanfic right now. FractalSandwich fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Jun 6, 2016 |

END ME SCOOB posted:The second arc is where the time travel and the future comes in. In short: things are hosed in the future, so Usagi's daughter comes back in time trying to find the hero who can use the Silver Crystal (not knowing who it is, or that it's her mother, or...). This happens because she actually took the drat thing and left her mother powerless, so an attack destroys the whole goddamn world save the palace (where the other Sailors are putting up a shield at the cost of their lives to protect the royals).

END ME SCOOB posted:In the anime, this dude shows up every loving week for the first arc, and pretty regularly in the second, to pop in through a window, toss a rose and gently caress up a villain, and then go "Finish the job, Sailor Moon!" By some accounts, Naoko Takeuchi was not thrilled with this aspect of the adaptation, because it kind of undermined her heroine in a series that had huge undertones of Potent Ladies Doing poo poo For Themselves.

MechaCrash posted:As a brief fill-in for those wondering: Japan has a different element system, which is Fire, Wood, Water, Metal, and Earth. Jupiter is associated with wood (as I recall its name means "wood star" in Japanese). If you want to know more, ask someone who knows.

I pick up this show back up where I left off and the first thing that happens is Jadeite gets crushed by a rogue airliner on an airport runway and Liam O'Brien shows up to replace him as the next villain. So good.

Those last two episodes, holy poo poo. You weren't kidding when you said this show gets metal as gently caress. I'm a sucker for a good last stand, and I sure as hell wasn't expecting one from Sailor loving Moon. No way I'm passing on R after that.

Torrannor posted:The kanji of World Shaking also apparently mean something like sky-world-shaking. Not having actually seen it in action, if I had free rein to give "天界震" any English name I wanted instead of Takeuchi's "World Shaking", I'd say "Heavenquake", if that's not too cheesy.

It helps that "Haruka Tenou" is a very "heaven-ish" name, but that's not at all apparent in English.

END ME SCOOB posted:Look, I went to go double-check this, and this whole scene reads gay as hell to me. Akujiki posted:Not necessarily, it depends on what kanji is used. The kanji you're imagining, furthermore, is probably 真 which has the Japanese reading makoto. Traditionally speaking, because it's written "Shin no Ishi" the "shin" would need to be the Japanese reading, not the Chinese. Sometimes this gets flubbed, but I don't think that's the case here.

Because of this thread, I made a dumb thing for randomly generating magical girl and magical girl-like names for another project I'm working on. I also made a quick-and-dirty Javascript port so you can see it for yourself. It'll give you ten at random each time you reload the page.

Kobanya posted:I swear this sounds like an early 80s anime I watched once. Like, this would be the empress the five warriors served, and she would secretly yearn to either be part of the team or a normal girl or something. And then when the warriors were caught in some evil enemy trap, Empress Kiyo would appear and reveal her secret power and join the team and there'd be a fuckton of shoujo bubbles and hand holding and tears.
