this is one of the most iconic outfits of Usagi imo <3 (Episode 006: Protect the Melody of Love: Usagi Plays Cupid)

is the first ep of sailor moon the most perfect first ep of any anime ever? sources say yes

I'm starting to think this guy might be relevant to the plot. Or he's just a stalker, I dunno. But honestly, me and my friend used to hate his guts as kids. The romance subplot just wasn't for us.

Classic "too good to be true" plot today. But a pet that doesn't stink, eat or poop does raise some questions though... Did Usagi's parents get a litterbox? Where does Luna poop?? I won't rest until these plot holes are answered.

I love that the Sailors fully intended to run Jadeite over with a plane and very nearly succeded in doing so.

Got up to ep 4 in the Tumblr Sailor Moon rewatch and remembered how cute these classmates of Usagi's are!! I wish we'd seen more of them, so I drew them out of their school uniforms for once ♥

One thing you appreciate more after rewatching it as an adult is how Sailor Moon's dad is the Babygirl CEO

Sailor Moon Rewatch Week 13 (March 25-31)

045: Death of the Sailor Guardians: The Tragic Final Battle

Everyone dies. A twist end to the series, but you have to commend the ingenuity.

046: Usagi's Eternal Wish: A Brand New Life

No, wait, sorry, it’s still going.

047: Moon Returns: The Mysterious Aliens Appear

The second season, Sailor Moon R, has officially begun! Usagi and the Guardians have returned to normalcy, and in another world, they might have been free to live out their lives in peace and obscurity. Unfortunately, the infinite universe has other plans, as an alien life form makes its home on Earth, right in the middle of Juuban. In this economy?

048: For Love and for Justice: Sailor Guardians Once Again

Naru has been called to audition for a small role in an upcoming drama! She’s not sure if she wants to accept, though, so Usagi tags along for moral support, and to potentially snag a cameo for herself. Instead, she runs into a bittersweet group of familiar faces.

Discussion topic: What did/do you think of the "Rei tries to date Mamoru" subplot?

Rei was hinted at being attracted to Tuxedo Mask in her introduction episode, but it really started to crystallise in episode 015, where she actively decides to pursue Mamoru romantically. This was an anime-only subplot - what are your thoughts on its introduction and execution?

Mod opinion: It makes a lot of sense for anime!Rei's personality that she would want to find a boyfriend with whom she could be a "power couple", and I think she was interested in Mamoru more because it seemed like he would provide her with a certain status than because of a genuine attraction. Rei is shown to be highly goal-oriented and future-focused; I think we all went to school with a girl who had their whole career and every milestone planned out from age 14, regardless of how realistic those plans were, lol. It felt very much like Rei wanted the abstract concept of the "perfect boyfriend" and Mamoru happened to be the ideal candidate for that role rather than being drawn specifically to him.

What makes less sense is why Mamoru went along with it?? It's hard to argue that he's oblivious to Rei's intentions, and had certainly demonstrated that he didn't mind coming off as an asshole if he wanted to reject her, lol. Obviously from a meta perspective the subplot was introduced as a way to progress Usagi & Mamoru's relationship via jealousy in addition to progressing Usagi & Rei's dynamic by generating conflict, but from a character perspective, for as much of a jerk as Mamoru could be in season 1 he never seemed like the type to string a girl along for his own amusement - mostly because he didn't seem to enjoy "dating" her at all?? I can only imagine that Rei basically wouldn't take no for an answer and Mamoru didn't care enough to press the issue. It's not not weird, but it's at least consistent.

But what do you all think? Were you a fan or a hater of this anime-only plot point?
