Her debut was the very last episode I saw of the dub on TV.

If they're out in stores, that (hopefully) means the comic shops will be getting them soon.

Like I said, there's a bit of nostalgia, since Sailor Moon was also the first anime I 'knew' was anime, for lack of a better phrasing.

Yeah, I remember taping the anime when it was on 12 noon on YTV back in the day. I used to get picked on for liking it, since people thought it was a girl's show.

Of course, I didn't know better then.

Yeah, while the dub is nostalgic, my preference for competence outweighs the nostalgia feel I have for it, so I strongly prefer the original Japanese version.

When I was around 8 years old,me & my sister use to watch sailor moon. I loved wathing because those sailor scouts were super hott. those transformations scenes were pure awesome. back in the day,no cartoon had sexier females than sailor moon.

I liked the 2 older sailor scouts that came into the series later. I always thought they were a dating couple. the one with the short hair was hott.

I didn't watch for the stories or plots. I never really cared to find out what happened in those lenghty plots/arcs climatic season finale episodes. I was just casual viewer & would catch a episode here & their whenever I felt like it.just to check out the sexy sailor scouts in those outfits & transformations scenes. I was 8 years old at the time,So It wasn't pedophile behavior. the sailor scouts were older than me ar the time anyways.

I haven't watched sailor moon in decades.

It's rather funny that I was just thinking about this earlier. Not quite with that term though.

Since the new books came out, I have been on a major SM nostalgia trip, but I can't help but be reminded of how much I've aged since then. The first time I met Makoto and Minako, I was thirteen. Now, so many years later, I'm thirty years old and they haven't aged with me, it's rather strange and almost jarring, because I've changed so much but the crushes I had on those fictional characters haven't gone away.

Worse yet, when I'm sixty years old they'll still be teenagers. It's almost heartbreaking to someone who loves his fiction as much as I do.

=(

Song cue!

Yeah, I know the dub was bad. But... I can still watch at least the first two seasons without cringing too much. Until the first season finale. And season three? Yikes!

At least we got them. It's better than nothing, really.

Anyways, checked my LCS. I'll be getting both Sailor V and Sailor Moon next week.
