Did you know that in the episode "The Tale of the Prom Queen" (link in comments) DeDe/Judy is played by Katie Griffin, who also voiced Sailor Mars in the original Sailor Moon Dic dub?
I have always thought this episode was ~keen~ (iykyk) and while looking at its Wiki page I realized why I recognized DeDe's voice! I was half expecting her to go SERENUHHHH at the end 😂
Pics are shots from the episode as seen on my crappy tv lol
About two years ago there was a seller on eBay selling three of these very same mini rolling backpacks from Sailor Moon's original run in North America (the tag has the DIC logo) in brand new unused condition. They came in Blue, Purple, and Pink. I purchased the blue one and although I thought it was kinda small when it arrived in the mail (these were clearly originally made for little kids) I actually wound up liking it a lot and used this mini backpack in place of my messenger bags I usually used. I decided to order another one and wanted the purple one, but unfortunately when I went to do that the seller had already sold both the pink and purple ones so they were no longer available.
Two weeks ago I was searching on eBay and one finally popped up. I found the pink one available in used but still very good condition for 40 dollars and since I hadn't seen one listed in a long time and wasn't sure when another would ever pop up I decided to get it. It arrived in the mail this week and despite preferring the blue and purple ones I still have no problem using this pink one. The main reason I even got another was because I loved my blue one so much I was afraid of using it too much and wearing it out so I figured I would use one of the other colored ones for more frequent use. Hopefully I won't get judged too harshly for being a guy with a pink sailor moon backpack! 😬
I used Naoko’s official art for Black Lady as ref, and googled a Vogue magazine cover for the pose as she uses a lot of high fashion photography as visual reference. It’s so hard to minic her style 😭😭but I did my best!!
I just finished reading both volumes of Sailor Moon Short Stories. Even though I have some comments about both, which I don't know if I'll get around to commenting on here, I wanted to talk about chapter "Parallel Sailor Moon".
I understand Naoko didn't want to make a cannon future for Sailors, we sort of have it already anyways, but would it be really that bad to have an actual designs for her daughers? It's a silly thing to get upset but come on, if it will be the only time we see their daughers, at least let them have an interesting design even if it isn't cannon. THE NAMES ARE THE SAME FOR SERENITY'S SAKE
Also, not even in an alternate version she made Usagi be an grown "normal" adult. Why she seems to hold her personality to the same thing no matter what?

When I was younger, my mother went on a very wild ebay buying spree and got me a ton of Sailor Moon items. This is a set of trading cards she got me. They are Japanese and still in pretty good condition for being bought around 1994.
I also found a set of Sailor Moon hair brushes, a Crescent Wand still in the box (although the box is kind of busted) and some Doujinshi (my mom just saw Sailor Moon and went with it.) and I've even got my brooch and believe it or not, it still plays music after all this time haha
I tried watching Sailor Moon a couple years ago and didn’t get past episode 11. I tried again last year or early this year, and I’m almost done with it. I decided to watch the classic. I really enjoy this anime. It’s funny, and I love the characters. I’m probably going to be sad once it ends. I’ll probably end up watching Crystal at a later time though. But yeah, I was obsessed with this anime before even getting to season 2 😂 It’s such a shame that I didn’t grow up watching it on TV like many others.
Okay I know its been like 25 days. A lot happened in my life like getting a job again. So lets get right too it.
Nice to see this intro again
Wait whos that!? Shes new. Scientists cut into the short haired Burnett girl
On this rainy night in the pool, neptune with a seashell-no episode title yet huh?
Were it YOUR souls that were the Talismans all along?
Witches 5 giving each other pranks and infighting. Does that mean shes gonna die?
You just have Haruka's phone number?
Did you two know each other?
Yeah dont get up Haruka, shes not worth it.
LOL the recording too short.
Oh god its a fax machine too.
Awww Michiru...You two are just the best together
Everyone cutting the scouts in their natural habitats, And Minako doing the racing game which is fitting for her.
Haruka giving usagi a call. Also Theres Setsuna in the crowd
And aquarium !...Oh this is a good thing is it?
OH! YOU'RE JUST GONNA TAKE IT! Shes strong. No moon now.
Time for usagi murder?!
Helicopter!? You transformed to aura farm and fly away with her broach?!
Hey Setsuna.
They are flying to a cool sailor moon cathedral.
Fight the stone slabs of cupids. Some Symbolism here
SHE HAS THE FOOSBALL TABLE TO MOVE THE SLABS LOL Sailor moon is a very serious series.
yeah if they can just break them-- they can make more--NEPTUNE got got.
This has become castlevania.
There goes uranus.
Neptune broke out of that--wow shouldnt have broke out of that. Those shoots liike like they hurt
OH GOD. It ran out. SHE GOT SHOT! T_T
Hey she had one. And she'll have yours soon
WHOS THIS?! Butterfly--are you the messiah?
Oh its usagi--WOW That shoulder tackle. I didnt expect that. Learning from Makoto. And that was really effective.
Uranus gonna shoot herself with the gun to get the talisman fighting usagi over it.
She gets to see someone shoot themselves
Oh hey gang. And setsuna
Wow ED?!
ITS OVER?! oh uhhh that felt so fast. Not surprising they have the talisman so by this logic Setsuna would have the last one right? Anyway Fantastic episode.
I fully expect this new trio Squad to be a blessing on all threats going forward
Oh my god what is this doll room
Messiah of Silence
Scientist obeys the girl? She was in pain an episode 2 or ago. How much evil is in her?
Ercide & Fareena's tag team
What...are you doing--Oh you're...teaching the 4 other girl lab coats? Evil Naru looking at pictures of dudes.
Dude all these woman lab coats wear nothing under their coats. IS THAT A GUN!?
No car just walk out? You should close that, people could jump in that.
Back to Setsuna informing things.
They're really are the order of the triad from venture brothers.
Honestly you all should just go out to eat.
Chibi wanted to go to the park with Setsuna her other mom. Since her current mom doesnt want to.
Thats okay her better mom Minako can do it
Oh theres the dude in mimete had photos of.
I guess everyone is going to the park
Mimete going to give food she made for him and got shoved down--are those the other girls in the 4?
Hey he gets to eat them for you.
Is this your running theme? You target men you like?
YOU JUST LET HER OUT!? You messiah of silence!?
And shes an invalid. This is weird pair, Chibi and Messia--Hotaru
Mexican themed monster girl. Oh the revolver because--yeah alright
You...are a goofball mosnters with this horse.
Is this a chibi episode? Nope everyone episode
THE OLD WEST! ALL 5 OF THEM! Wyatt earp references?! huh That such and old refference--they dont even know where Illinois,is and hes from there.
Casual music during attack means its not gonna work. You need to super transform. Yep
Stronger Diamon--ate his soul!
The squad paid are there!
And the monster laso's chibi and almost Hotaru-- Is...she not aware shes with them? Is there a 3rd party?
Now the order of the triad are all present--To tell moon to transform...weird.
Rainbow moon heartache? Better move
For a moment when deadly screem came out I thought that Hotaru did that.
Speaking of Hotaru doing stuff she heals chibi with magic.
Again this is a weirst friendship the--Hotaru is just on the brink of death with every action she takes. This is your messiah of silence? Is it because she can die any second?
Wow...I wonder who you are (sarcasm)
yeah yeah yeah I know hes the mad scientist. Its not rocket science.
ED Huh...Thats...interesting. A lot happened but it wasnt like exciting. But it was well written so its a fantastic episode. Hotaru huh? hmmm But cool though. Its one of the cooler episodes
Chibi is happy her mom thinks its a boy...Wasnt that an episode or am I thinking of inuyasha?
Mother and daughter having shinanigans
Malnusihed Evil Hotaru
Maks looking at the moon thinking of his wife
Order of the triad meet up with him.
WHAT?! ARE YOU 3 GONNA FIGHT?! WHY?! YOU'RE GONNA DIE MASK!
They reveal they are the outer senshi...which I though was already known but okay a reminder isnt bad
Chibi went to everyones house for questions what to get, wear, cook etc for Hotaru.
LOL ok Rei is justified to be angry at Usagi for that and snapping her neck and going through her legs.
Usagi imagines the boy chibi is visiting and...it reminds me of the movie--OH I NEVER SAW THE MOVIES?! Should I?! Are they cannon?! Are...they good? When should I watch them
Off topic but my family doesnt know my boss is male. and not female. Considering this who bit. No real reason to tell them not that it matters.
Something me and this show have in common with--oh god back to this messiah
Chibi is too small for the door bell
WHY DID KAOLINITE OPEN THE DOOR?! Oh no. I thought we killed her.
Tomoe, thats the scientists name--sorry for not remembering. Its an easy name too
Yeah Mimete just goes after hot famous men she likes.
Hotaru with the evil anime sickness and the opens the door like "hi nothings wrong"
Hotaru Tomoe OH thats important. Daughter.
Did your dead...make Kaolinite?
Its a darklight room--OH god she fell! Are...we killing her?
OH NO
Someone take it from her!
Hotaru likes seeing Usagi and her daughter dynamic, since she doesnt have a mom
Mimete also I want to point out her outfit is black with some yellow.
Black on a design means Credible powerful Professional, yellow is optimism clarity & warmth which since its darker is the opposite of that. Also orange hair, Confidence cheerful and friendly. All things that make sense for her
moon transforms to save the guy from the monster-- the super form is more like a different form of transformation.
The order of the triad come in to help fight the monster who looks like shes the editor of the manga
And..everyone else out of nowhere.
Ok you can just go into the form. This is a grade 1 form. So its not like--
Monster beat and chibi had fun. At the arcade with Hotaru who...Im shocked didnt fall to the floor constantly
ED That was fine I really liked it. Super Seems to start slow for me and the moments I like are coming up later and hit hard. So its fun.
Is Hotaru gonna be my wiseman? I dont think so but Im wondering.
...I missed fireflies.
Chibi with her other mom Setsuna. You know...Chibi isnt as annoying as I remember--but we're also out of the fledgling arc of R for her. This is experienced chibidoki
order of the triad will kill the Hotaru when they learn about her.
THEY LOL
ROFL i got nothing to say. Thats just funny. does that change? As they get taken out?
Is there two Hotarus?
No Hotaru time for Chibi
Or nevermind she found you--and now shes dying to find you.
I forgot Ami (amy and usagi were near by) her mom is a doctor at a hospital
Hotaru flashbacks. Is your mom evil? Yes she is. Oh no everyone hates her. What did you--Theres two of them. You have a hollow ichigo. or Sukuna.
Hotaru is normal and shes going home because another doctor cant see her.
Oh Haruka! Get in the car. THis is good for Haruka
Monster is...like a child woman? Like shojo beat teen. Really weird lookin
Haruka fights as chibi powers up and tells everyone-- oh chibis transformation is FAST. She might get to use her super form here. which would make sense. Also her enemy isnt to hard to fight
Oh god hotaru in pain! Is Hotaru's life force the fuel for the monsters?
Everyone is in the tree!
The monster runs off towards Hotaru
And Akira shit happens
She weakened it for her moon to kill.
That was a dumb monster. This is the worst one of this season
Hotaru is scared she will hurt chibi and they shouldnt meet again
and the hotaru ran off--
let me say that again
HOTARU RAN OFF. The constantly dying girl
ED That was a good episode, not much happened but the writting and characters were--thats a bunch of these. like Chibi and hotaru episodes are good. which you wouldnt think would be
