We interrupt your regularly-scheduled fanart and amigurumi to bring you HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT'S THE CONCEPT ART OF THE BETA OUTERS IN THEIR SAILOR GUARDIAN FORMS (along with the best look we're gonna get at "Forever Sailor Soldiers")
Unexpectedly found at the Sailor Moon Fantasy forums (Italian). No idea where OP originally found these--maybe Fukano Youichi shared them somewhere?
Among other things: Sailor Moon got a different tiara and a skull-crusher of a scepter, Chibi Moon would've inherited the Cutie Moon Rod (and been red), and contrary to what was reported of one Animage article, beta Saturn was bright-ass yellow. Pluto would've changed planet colours, too--maybe this is why her early dolls wore purple?
Hilariously, Neptune barely changed at all, colour-wise. I'm pretty sure Uranus was supposed to be a different shade of orange from Venus; her Lip Rod's design became the basis for Neptune's.
Most curiously--to me, at least--the Outers all have golden chokers with gem decs, mirroring Sailor Moon's choker (well, in her Super Form--it's gold on her Cosmic form here, too), and Uranus and Neptune's Lip Rods both have crescents. Was there a connection?

| On July 5th 2014, Sailor Moon Crystal aired on NicoNico Douga, with subtitles translated in 12 languages.
Man can you believe it's been 10 years? I didn't even realize and apparently Toei & Kodansha are straight up just not acknowledging it. So I made this sketch to celebrate 10 years! I don't think I'll finish it that's why im posting the sketch...
It based on Yukie Sakou's original key visual this time from a top down angle!
I was a stupid teenager when this show came out, ignorant of horrible industry practices and I'm still convinced nothing really got fixed for the rest of the series after Season 2... but I got to give it credit for bringing me attention to things like that! Call me nostalgia blind but it's still my favorite one after an entire decade and 5 seasons.
Sailor Moon Crystal you were a mess but dammit you were my mess.
#ive definitely been more critical of sailor moon in general due to just... age. getting older#harsher towards season 1 and 2 as well but mainly cus well its true it is a goddamn mess ive come to terms with that compared to 10 years a#sailor moon crystal#fanart#my art#sketch#color#fully colored#sailor moon#man im sorry this blog's been so dead the animation hyperfixation is sti.l there trust#just Life happened and again i got more critical of the series as a whole so i didnt wanna bum anyone out looking for s1&2 positivity#and just focusing on a blog many a blog got a bit much#then covid haooened so ive been just not focusing#10 years and i still aint organized the place goddamn 😔 maybe some day#ive also been trying to focus on personal projects n stuff sorry#tryna improve as an artist n whatnot

TAKEUCHI NAOKO INTERVIEW AND ART COMMENTARY TRANSLATION This is a complete translation of the Takeuchi Naoko-related texts from the artbook 5-nin no amajin/purojin ten / 5 Amateurs Turned Pro Exhibit, available for download at Miss Dream. It contains a long 50-questions interview, as well as Takeuchi’s comments on the 20 pieces of color art she chose to include in the exhibit. It would probably be best to read this in tandem with the scans available at Miss Dream, so you can look at the art while reading her comments.
Keep reading
#future reference#naoko takeuchi#learning she uses color ink and not watercolors has been an learning expierence for me Lol#not many talk about Naokos BG art#just the 90s sailor moon series BGs (which isnt really IN Naokos style imo!)#lowkey frustrating cus i love how she does her bgs especially the early arcs 1 and 2#bold yet soft. very dark and kysterious nighttime scenes#theres not many tho

Oh no the second half of this post is me coming to the realiztion that manga Mamoru wasn't mix macthing tuxedo ettiquette at all, I realized hes just wearing a specifc type of tuxedo i had never heard of until recently.
its just me acknowledging Naoko's knowlrdge in high end fashion
We always talk shit about Mamorus bad fashion and usually think his manga fashion style is very decent (besides the cow print anyway lol)
But listen the boy literally cant dress right he doesnt even wear a tuxedo right, theres 3 types for specific occassions with specific etiquette and our boy is wearing all 3 styles at once what a mess.
imagine newspaper articles and forums just clowning in his drip lmaoooooo
#tho he is weird for wearing them in the middle of the day for no formal occassion#mans just dripped out his mind but he dresses pretty normal in the manga

Tuxedo Mask and the Mess Jacket
Mamoru is also seen wearing a cummerband (the sash like belt) ans auspender undearth the waist coat. Which lines up with the Mess Suit attire.
#some of mamorus other tuxedos are also black tie tuxes#ignoring king endymion who is wearing a white tie with coat tails#mamoru chiba#tuxedo mask#sailor moon#pretty guardian sailor moon#Bishoujo senshi sailor moon#sailor moon manga#sailor moon materials collection#sailor moon fashion#fashion#tuxedos#mamo reallys is just dripped put his mind where does he get the money for these

Oh he's not technically breaking any rules, Tuxedo Mask's outfit isnt a traditional kind of tuxedo at all. Its a military Mess suit most likely based on the formal attire worn by the French Military! The uniform is crazy similar to Tuxedo Masks whole drip. Theyre also worn by royalty! Mamoru is a prince and a king!
Funny enough, King Endymion actually wears a traditional style tuxedo, with coat tails and everything. Endymion seems more associated with the coattails, so Mamoru on the Kanzenban covers probably isn't Mamoru at all but Prince Endymion!
Tuxedo Mask's outfit isnt an outfit, it's a military uniform- just like the senshi!
I think he has coat tails in Crystal's design cus Sakou used Kanzenban as a reference- Cus he's never actually depicted with having coattails in the actual pages or artbook outside of King Endymion. Or maybe cus mess jackets and white tie tuxedos share a similar waist design, Sakou and gang thiught he was wearing a white tie tux and probably didn't know about Mess Jackets, at least not by name.
We always talk shit about Mamorus bad fashion and usually think his manga fashion style is very decent (besides the cow print anyway lol)
But listen the boy literally cant dress right he doesnt even wear a tuxedo right, theres 3 types for specific occassions with specific etiquette and our boy is wearing all 3 styles at once what a mess.

#i mean hes still breaking some form of dress code#its like a mix of black tie and mess suit#in the manga this is way more apparent his jacket doesnt have coattails#and mess jackets also are like white tie tuxedos but they dint have coattails!#his double breasted buttons and lapel also follow the same pattern as the french military mess suit#the tux is his sailor suit! quite literally#i mean again its meant to be worn at very formal events its the most formal you can get and hss just out in daylight in it#and thats valid of him#but yea! hes not wearing your average tuxedo. mamoru is really just dripped out of his fucking mind#sailorcrisis and i were discussing his design and i went in another rabbit hole and found the name of his jacket#and that became another rabbit hole#i think naoko saw the opourutnity to give prince Endymion an actjal outfit by giving him his own tuxedo design for the covers#cus the only time we see mamoru in kanzenban hes with princess serenity and not as tuxedo mask!#she might have given mamoru a white tux jacket in later artbook pages tho i have to look but i dont remember it being the case#mamoru chiba#tuxedo mask#nikki talks#maybe mess suit was the intended dssign from naoko if so damn she knows her stuff

北の空から Kita no Sora Kara From the Northern Sky
Another track from CMusic! this time for Sailor Moon R! This track is found in Episode 61 of the series Usagi Devastated: Mamoru Declares a Break-Up. None other than the song form the infamous Break Up scene! (infamous if you dont like the arc.)
Personally not my favorite arc for this season but this scene really does hit hard outside of it, and the music they chose fits so well.
#this isnt turning into a sm classic blog i swear!#i scroll through cmusics library from time to time hear a song and go WAIT A MINUTE#also the translation is google translate so idk if it's an accurate translation#sm classic#music#soundtrack#nikki talks#cmusic professional library#c music professional library#Youtube#kita no sora kara#from the northern sky#sailor moon r episode 61

hi :') i was clearing my likes from years ago when i came across some posts of yours which reminded me: there's people like me who preferred the smc 1&2 art style! i dont like the newer design choices at all, they make smc look like any other generic anime whereas these amazing people's designs (https://www.tumblr.com/crystalbehindthescenes/162796600707/i-really-liked-the-glossy-lips-and-shiny-shiny?source=share) made it unique and resembled takeuchi's style so much. i really wish we could have seen all the characters portrayed in that way </3 btw sorry for this, just wanted to vent i guess, i hope you dont mind lol! have a nice day 💕
youre fine i totally agree. i wish theguys had more time to actually improve the animation and not abandon it entirely.

He already has a transformation on screen (albeit short, and the live action one is more a parody), and hes technically Sailor Earth by proxy of sailor crystal. Not to mention, Mamoru even has his own commuciator watch just like the senshi!
Not to mention, his name Tuxedo Kamen is based on tokusatsus like Kamen Rider who all have some form of henshin phrase!
So... Should he have a phrase like the senshi?
#mamoru chiba#tuxedo mask#PGSM#sailor moon#sailor moon crystal#sailor earth#cus its relevant i think#he doesnt have to shout make up or anything#and i am being 100% serious . should he have a phrase and not in a parody way#no man in dress jokes none of that. im 100% serious.#vote as if this was serious. vote based on this not being a joke. don't vote cus you think itd be funny if he had one.#i want magical boys to be taken a tad more serious than what I've seen#this is very relevant#hes not sailor earth by title imo but i see him as a senshi/guardian#this is the 2nd time i made a poll osrry if its bad
