It's too bad the manga isn't being released anymore, anywhere. Sounds different enough to be in interesting read.

AHH!

I think the only anime I've ever gotten into is One Piece.

I'm still watching it after 300 episodes.

I tried getting into other stuff but the people who recommended me shows are the same people who like inuyasha or full metal alchemist.

fuck that.

I can't think of Sailor Moon without thinking of this.

cloudubious: My ex-gf loved Sailor Moon
r3v3r3nd n1nj4: but today i was discussing religion while getting my bone on
cloudubious: so in exchange for watching it with her,
cloudubious: I got sex.
r3v3r3nd n1nj4: good deal
cloudubious: exactly
r3v3r3nd n1nj4: did she ever call you tuxedo mask in the sack?
cloudubious: It also means I've seen ever sailor moon episode and movie..
cloudubious: And...
cloudubious: Yeah, once.
cloudubious: she had the mask and hat and everything for me.
cloudubious: Sad

Anime no thank you sir. All big eyes and tentacles and dragon's balls, I'll stick to good ol' American capitalistic cartoons THANK YOU.

But for those of us who were too busy investing in Oxy and their fine, worthless "pads," one of the most fun things to do is to pick some alternative, "cool" thing to base our life around. For me, it was wrestling. But for a lot of people in the modern adolescent world, the schoolgirl outfit-clad world of Japanese animation provides both sanctuary and a really good way to get your rocks off without making yourself feel dirty. It's just a cartoon, right? As long as you guys don't see the wiener you think it's clean as a sunshine.

Japanese animation (or "anime" as it's called by people who wear X-Men T-shirts) isn't just for guys...no, somewhere amidst the naked schoolgirl robot cat people lies a place for girls as well. Okay, think about ANY creative writing class you've EVER been in. Remember that one girl who never combed her hair and wrote Marilyn Manson lyrics in her notebooks? Okay, think about the girl NEXT to her, the fat one. SHE likes anime because, while the girls are 11 years old and naked most of the time, THEY are the ones with the guns, henceforth providing positive female rolemodels for the aforementioned underprivileged. That, and she thinks it's cool when you see a chick's panties.

America hasn't quite gone mainstream with Japanese animation yet, but the closest we came in the 90's was a retarded little gem called "Sailor Moon." Perhaps you've heard of it? It was the show on thirty minutes before you woke up. Wedged between repeats of "Grace Under Fire" and that fat black dude who's always WAY too interested in the weather. I swear, you could whisper something about "cumulonimbus" to that guy and he'd shit himself.

Anyway, it's time to lower your intelligence, strap on your pigtails and cotton panties, and "Meet Sailor Moon!"

I'm sad because I never saw the end of dubbed series.

The last episode I saw was Uranus and Neptune getting real pissed off after the world was saved and they transformed and were about to fight the rest of the Scouts.

Then I was forced to go shopping with my parents and I never saw the series again.

So I'd have to say that this movie Ultraviolet is WAY worse than Sailor Moon.

Why the hell is my brother watching this retarded movie?

I don't know any better. All I know is that when I saw an episode on CT it was really dramatic and serious. I hate it when anime takes itself seriously; it ends up weird.

It does take itself a little seriously, but it has a great plot if you can pay attention to it for 51 (?) episodes.

But I agree with you that One Piece is awesome

I remember when I was like, 5 or something, I loved Sailor Moon. My mom saw the obvious sexuality in it and wouldn't let me watch it sometimes and I did not get it at all. She thought I was a tiny pervert or something, but I just wanted to see some chicks beat up on a monster.

Starfuck

i was a naruto whore
then around episode 100
i was like
shit
it took 10 episodes to complete what must have been at the most a 10 minute fight
fuck

i stopped reading the manga too

now
naruto is everywhere and i'm all like
that was so 3 years ago

Wren

I watched Black Lagoon a while ago.

I really wish they were going to do more episodes sometime this decade.

I'll give it a chance since OP is getting one new episode a week now.

The only reason I got into OP was because I would watch it when I was in Japan. I would be thinking, "Man this is amazing. Pirates and mutants, oh boy!". When I finally got a fast internet connection I downloaded the shit out of it.

TM2 Rampage

So. I was really into watching Sailor Moon, and then I would have watched the newly-dubbed episodes on Toonami, but they changed like all of the voices and nearly every episode was still the monster-of-the-week crap... so I stopped watching.

I have the first series (or season... if you wanna call it that) on DVD subtitled, but I haven't gotten around to finishing the whole thing. Too many filler episodes... made for fine weekly (or was it daily?) entertainment on TV, though, I guess.

Zombies Tossed My Salad!

I'm not ashamed to say that I watched this. It was damn good. And I kind of miss it.

Why do people always say this to defend their favorite cartoons? Do you think death makes Sailor Moon hardcore or something? Knob's right. This show was totally for six year old girls.

Zombies Tossed My Salad!

It was. But I still loved it. Back in my first days on the internet, before I found PA, I frequented anime chat rooms, and my name of choice was White Kinght

ToxicAvenger

Well at least you're a man and you can admit the fact. I still watch cartoons all the time. Dexter's Laboratory is the buizznezz.

Zombies Tossed My Salad!

I haven't seen Dexter's Lab in a long time. It was the shit when I still watched it.

ToxicAvenger

For some reason the cartoon network out here in the middle east only plays the old cartoon network shows like Dexters' and Cow and Chicken and shit. I miss Adult Swim, but it's still nice to get all nostalgic and watch a quick episode of Ed Edd and Eddy.

Zombies Tossed My Salad!

I really only watch AS on Cartoon Network any more. I don't really like the other stuff they play any more.

Well, considering the dubbed versions like to pretend it didn't happen, I try to set the record straight.

And I can't believe people have actually just watched the CTN versions of S and Super S... they were absolutely horrible.

Sure, Super S is my least favorite season, but it deserved better than the hack dub Cloverway gave it.

The only positive I can think of is that they weren't visually or musically edited like the DiC versions(they use the original music, and I don't think anything was cut out), but the dubbing changes almost everything. Any scene with Haruka and Michiru was painful.

I wasn't a big fan of Sailor Moon since they basically played the same episode on repeat all the time.
Monster appears that's thematically relevant to the overall plot of the episode (I.E.: they are going to a gardening show and a plant monster appears).
Monster wreaks havoc and the scouts are having a hard time beating it.
Tuxedo mask shows up and fires a red rose into the ground between moon and the monster, interrupting an attack (Tux is fucking pimp).
Tux tells Sailor Moon "You can do it!"
Sailor Moon uses her strongest attack.
Monster dies.
They eat ice cream.

That's how the dub was anyway. I saw about 4 episodes of the live action and it was really fun to watch with tongue-in-cheek subtitles that didn't always say what the characters were saying but would point out plotholes or yell "tentacle monster!" whenever a monster appeared. The subtitling over the commercials was great too.

Redeemer

Eh, when you're like 8 years old you just like the pretty sparkles and laugh at whenever Serena slips on a banana peel and falls head first into a dumpster

I really want to see the live action show

TankHammer

I wish I still had copies but I purged it years ago. I should have made a CD.

For the historical value.

It had a DIRE lack of a nude transformation sequence though, that was bullshit, but it did a fun job of showing how the character's hair would change when they transformed from the typical black to blond, green, blue, etc.

....wha?

DirtyDirtyVagrant

I think she means to say that the original versions (the raw and subs), are much better than the dubbed version, which was actively changed to appeal even more to 6 year old girls. You may recall DBZ villains in the early seasons talking about "the next dimension?" That's because death was a taboo subject on a syndicated kid's show. So...they changed that. A more extreme example would be Card Captor Sakura, in which they entirely cut out like the first 10 episodes, and then changed the show ENTIRELY in order to make that boy the focus. That's the kind of crap US companies pull.

Of course, I don't really know if that's the case, because I never watched Sailor Moon. I was busy watching the multiple-episode asskickings of DBZ. I actually wonder...was the original version that one monster per episode garbage? Or did it have an actual plot?
