Sailor Moon!
Okay, I technically finished this in 2014, but at the very end. Unlike most little girls in the 90's, I actually didn't grow up watching this. I even lived in Japan during the end of it's run but while my friends were interested in Sailor Moon, I was more interested in Disney Princesses and pop stars such as the Spice Girls. A year ago I wouldn't have been able to name any of them. I had watched magical girl series before and have definitely been interested in anime/manga for a long time but Sailor Moon never seemed to interest me. I decided to give this series a try about six months ago because I was curious about the reboot and figured that I should watch the old one before I watch the new one. Little did I know that I would grow to totally love this story and world and become so invested in the characters. Despite it being older, it was still very funny, enjoyable and most definitely emotional at times. I originally watched this because of the reboot but ironically felt that I could not connect to the new one as much as the older one even though I had originally just watched it to get a feel for the story. It ended up turning into so much more than that.
I have since watched the movies and loved the musicals and have bought some merchandise. I had owned a Sailor Moon poster for a long time that I found in a random shop years ago but now have a reason to hang it up. I will probably tune back into Crystal for the R season since that was my favourite in the old anime series with S being a close second.
My favourite characters are Chibi-usa, Saturn, and ChibiChibi.
Though, I really do love all of the Senshi
Especially Usagi~
I am now proud to call myself a Moonie even though I was a late bloomer!
But I have definitely seen the Sailor Moon light and realize now why it redefined the Mahou Shoujo genre.
"In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"
