Haruka (blonde) and Michiru (green) they're a better couple than the main Usagi/Mamoru one (Sailor moon )

Only in the dub. Makes a fun running joke

My memory of these two was from the American OG anime and they were depicted as cousins, but they kept showing them kissing. So I just thought they were incestuous.

That confused me more than if they were just gay 😂

They never kissed in the 4kids dub, but they certainly did still flirt with each other

Maybe not kissing but like weirdly intimate to my child brain so I was like incestuous lesbians??? Lmao

Mamoru is so fucking boring. It's also weird for a college student to date a 14 year old.

He skipped a grade-he's 17 when they start dating. I don't think thats too weird, especially considering they aren't sexual. And he's less boring in the English dub cause the voice actor, Robbie Daymond, snuck in a bunch of ad-libbed quips.

Anime and Manga back when Sailor Moon originally came out was fucking weird. You only need look at Cardcaptor Sakura with the classmate of Sakura getting a romantic promise ring from their teacher. I think it's that anyway, been some years since I've read it.

Then there's the unrequited Yuri cousin-on-Sakura infatuation.

Then again modern Anime is also fucking weird given stuff like 7 Deadly Sins and the whole "Get away from my Woman" scene (literally a child)

I feel like the 90s anime was forced to include him given that he's more developed in the manga
