I'm surprised people here liked the anime better. I never got into the manga so I don't know many of the differences between the two. But with DBZ getting a fresh shot of life in it (with original actors and streamlined storytelling and everything) I can't help but feel sad about Sailor Moon being left behind, so any new version of the anime would make me jump for joy.

The manga was a bit darker, had a lot less filler, and there was more solid character development for each character, including Chibiusa and Tuxedo Kamen--usually regarded as the most utterly useless characters in the anime, but badass in the manga. (That useless Pink Sugar Heart Attack? Yeah, that melted some monsters rather than harmlessly bouncing off like in the anime.)

I personally liked the manga better, but the anime did have several good points. I think the main issue was the filler.

I agree completely, though--I would love to see a Sailor Moon Kai or something! Shit, I'd just love to see it redubbed and put back on TV at some point so that girls from a younger generation can enjoy it the way I did.

I would like to see Mamoru and Chibiusa written closer to how they were manga. They were plain awful in the show.

[identity profile] leikomgwtfbbq.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed!

They stood up much better in the manga, both by themselves and as valuable members of the group. I wish that dynamic had been kept in the anime. You could really see Chibiusa growing up over the course of the series, and Mamoru was actually important, rather than just popping in to throw a rose and give obvious advice before disappearing again.

(I also loved Minako a lot more in the manga. She was amazing.)

mte. I couldn't stand Mamoru in the anime (though I did sort of like Chibi-Usa in the anime, though it was overkill with her in SuperS), but I liked him in the manga and PGSM.

Well, that sounds awesome to me, especially to one day see animated (I'd love to see Tuxedo and Chibiusa be badass). I'm flipping through some manga art now and it's just so pretty (and aged extremely well). I may just read through it all, seems worth it.

Do it!

It's still my favorite manga after all these years. I've read better ones, or deeper ones, but Sailor Moon will probably be my favorite as long as I live, simply because it's brought me so much joy and taught me so much about how to be a good person.

In Portugal the show's still running. :) I love that!

[identity profile] annis-pekka.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I always stick around for a few moments when I'm channel surfing and find SM (canal panda FTW). It's still so awesome after all this time.

[identity profile] mjnuts.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm recording the show with Meo, I only missed season R. :/ But yeah, I still love it, it's just that I'm taking different things from it now. And now I have less tolerance for boring episodes. lol

Love your avatar, btw. :)

[identity profile] annis-pekka.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, o meo não funciona mto bem na minha zona... *sadface* But I know what you mean. Even though I'm already 26, and still like it as much as when I was 10 or something, I now enjoy it for diferent reasons, and my take on the characters has also changed. Plus there's this whole feeling of nostalgia surrounding it, like other things I used to watch as a child (like Dragon Ball - I still adore GT's opening-, the Simpsons, etc).

Thanks! It's one of my favorite Disney movies. So funny.

[identity profile] mjnuts.livejournal.com 2012-05-15 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahah, funny meeting you in Fandom!Secrets. We're both Portuguese AND I'm also 26. :P I don't get a lot of nostalgia from most things I used to like as a child (Dragon Ball being one of the things I used to obsess about and now I don't even bother - I do love the songs though), but Sailor Moon is the main exception to the rule. Also, Disney. ^^

O Robin dos Bosques é um dos filmes mais queridos da minha infância. :) Tenho um VHS com o filme gravado de uma vez que deu no ainda Canal 1, vê lá a antiguidade!xD Os intervalos eram tão mais curtos... *sigh*

We also have a YT channel with all the episodes dubbed in Portuguese, in case you happen to understand the language. ;)

WAIT WAIT.

DBZ got a reboot? O_o When did this happen?

I'm not even that big a fan, but...whuh?

You've probably Googled it by now, but Dragon Ball Z Kai came out in 2011. They remastered the episodes, cut out the fillers (which I assume includes all those ridiculously long power ups) to make it more closely follow the manga, reanimated some parts, redubbed the voice track (with mostly original voice actors in English via Funimation), and re-recorded the soundtrack to make a streamlined 98 episode story. All available on DVD, with the last set coming out this summer in North America. So not a reboot, but a much-needed update.

[identity profile] otakugal15.livejournal.com 2012-05-15 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I was wondering if it was kai. I didn't know they remastered it and even reanimated some stuff!! That is awesome!!

Now if only they'd do something exactly like this with Sailor Moon. >_> If it'd work anyway.
