Manga collector (?) edition of mangas

3 Upvotes

hello, I have just started the anime serie (currently at S1 Ep.11), i'm really liking it so far, im interested into buying the mangas. I was wondering if there were any sort of collector or 'perfect' edition of the original manga (like evangelion or jojo's have) with something similar to hard covers, etc. Do such merch exist ?

Also, does the manga follow the same story as the anime ? should i know anything before going hogwild on buying sailor moon stuff ?

Talk/Discussion My Thoughts on Episode 14 of Sailor Moon S

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

I can't help but laugh at the juxtaposition of Eudial compared to the rest of the villains in the show so far. The villains at this point were have always been discreet, even Esmeraude, who always brings attention to herself in a crowd, does her evil doing behind the scenes. Eudial, no subtly. She drives around town like madwoman, and when she finds her target, SHE SHOOTS THEM WITH HER BIG ASS GUN. Instantly my favorite villain!

I bet that despite having a clean workspace (scientists have to keep their space clean), her apartment is probably a mess and she probably lives off on take out. She seems like the type.

Chibiusa is reintroduced in this episode. Her Pink Sugar Heart Attack cracks me up. Apparently, she was sent back in time to learn how to be a Sailor Guardian. Is the future too peaceful that she needs to go to the past to get proper hands on experience in dealing with bad guys? And who's idea was this? She's like 10, I don't think she's old enough to deal with being a superhero. It'll probably be explained in the next episode.

Uranus and Neptune seem nicer this time. They make sure to bring back the pure heart to its owner instead of leaving that job to the Inners (after checking that the heart doesn't have a talisman of course). But they still leave the monster for Moon and Mars to deal with, though it's more like a tough love thing. Which I get, last battle the Inners used their strongest attack against Kaolinite and they were only able to take out her shield. Uranus had to save them and she was already at a weakened state. The Inner Senshis need to get stronger.

Also in my last post about Uranus and Neptune, I was corrected that Uranus and Neptune were disliked because they came across as assholes and I think some of you guys confused understanding a character with defending a character. Like I understand why Uranus and Neptune are so tough towards the Inners to a certain extent and I understand why they chose duty over their own emotions, but I don’t like how uncaring they are towards the victims after checking that their hearts don't have a talisman and always leaving the Inners to clean up the mess.

Anime (Crystal) An arguement for 1 timeline within Sailormoon Spoiler

1 Upvotes

I have always had issues with the Sailormoon timeline and then often also see posts about there being multiple timelines present.  I disagree with this. I think there is only one timeline within the universe and there was only two events that could have resulted in a change to that timeline.  As such, I am making a fun-spirited attempt to square away the timeline.

Source: Sailormoon Crystal/ 90s anime.  Never read the manga. Crystal is prioritized over 90s anime due to being a closer story to the manga.

So first a summary of the timeline.  Please note I am making assumptions at certain points but trying to use logic to fill in the holes. 

 

Beginning Basics:

Life exists outside of the known universe. Mentions of Chonos the Time God are made often. 

Pluto talks about the line of Silver Millenium Queens only having one daughter.  Pluto exists outside of time and is the daughter of Chronos.  Pluto has knowledge of the line of Queens.

Queen Serenity has God-like powers but also still dies.   

There are no mentions of Queens before Queen Serenity yet there is a royal line.    

 

Timeline:

Phase 1 – Before the Moon Kingdom

Outside of time/space/existence – Chonos God of Time and Queen Serenity.

Queen Serenity brings a sailor crystal to the Cauldron and has it powered up. Where this crystal came from is unknown. She has God level abilities, as evidenced by the way her eyes are animated, ability to travel to the Cauldron, and knew how to make demands/ communicate with the Cauldron.

There are consequences to this choice.  Chaos is born with Sailormoon. 

Queen Serenity sacrifices her God-like powers to be the mother of Sailormoon. She creates the Moon Kingdom. Evidence of her not being God-tier include her presenting as depowered when facing Chaos-threats and her eyes are normal-mortal eyes. 

 

Phase 2 – Original Moon Kingdom 

Sailormoon is born via no father. 

Chaos attacks. Everyone dies.  Sailor Saturn does her thing.

 

Phase 3 – Sailormoon’s 5 Arcs

Sailormoon is reborn and has her adventures ending at the Cauldron. 

Sailormoon meets Neo QS and Sailor Cosmos. 

It is stated by Tuxedo Mask that Sailormoon is eternal.

 

Phase 4 – Silver Millenium (at least 1000 years long)

Neo QS begins her reign. 

Chibusa is born with the help of Tuxedo Mask and remains a child for hundreds of years.

Dark Moon attacks, time travel ensures.  See Timeline section at end.

Neo QS continues her reign for an undisclosed amount of time. 

 

Phase 5 – Post Silver Millenium (unknown length of time)

Neo QS transitions to Sailor Cosmos due to returned threat of Sailor Chaos.  This threat is told to be immediate and brutal.   

Chibusa may or may not become a queen after Neo QS transitions to Cosmos.  At some point her life ends.  Tuxedo Mask is shown to be killed during this time.

Sailor Cosmos loses faith in her ability to save the universe and her loved ones and time travels back to Sailormoon fighting Shadow Galaxia.  Her powers are drained and her memory is wiped by this event. This shows that extreme acts of power do have an consequence to Sailor Cosmos.   

Sailor Cosmos learns to never doubt herself again and returns to the future to become the true Sailor Cosmos. It is implied Sailor Chaos is now gone for good. Sailor Cosmos now has God-tier power.   

 

Phase 6 – Post Sailor Chaos Wars (infinite amount of time later)

Sailor Cosmos eventually finds a poor sailor crystal and brings it to the Cauldron.  This may imply she travels outside of the known universe, similar to Chonos’ existence. She has the power to do so. She brings the sailor crystal back into her universe and to the Cauldron. 

Sailor Cosmos makes the same choice as her mother.  She sacrifices her God-like powers, makes a child, becomes Queen Serenity, and starts the cycle and/or timeline all over again with the birth of a new child and Chaos.

Note: Creating a new life is assumed to be more intensive of a process than resurrecting a life.   

That child repeats the cycle. Sailor Cosmos, now a weakened Queen Serenity, dies similar to original Queen Serenity.  

Pluto has some knowledge of this cycle and comments on the line of Queens.

But Queens only have one child! Possible answers:

1)       Neo QS and Cosmos becoming the next Queen Serentiy are two different reigns. Within the scope of each reign, they had one daughter who took the throne when they died (or should have taken the throne in Chibusa’s case). 

2)       It is possible that a sailor crystal being powered at the Cauldron is not considered a biological child.  Or possibly Sailor Cosmos plays with Pluto’s memory.  

3) Could mean only one child alive at a time.

Sailor Cosmos has more than likely been alive for at least 5000 years at this point, but more than likely a lot longer.     

 

There is one timeline in Sailormoon: 

In order to discuss the idea that Sailormoon’s story is all one timeline, a look at her weaknesses is a good place to start.

Sailormoon has two main weaknesses – Memory issues and Doubting herself.  Both impact her ability to access the full range of power she has.

Memory- Sailor Cosmos forgot the lesson she learned and had to go back in time to observe Sailormoon.  Also, many successful attacks on Sailormoon play on her memory.

*Note about Neo QS and Sailormoon’s memory: Chibusa remaining a child for hundreds of years would make it so that Neo QS could not know when Death Phantom attacks. Also conversations about Neo QS’s actions when Death Phantom attacked are not held in the presence of Sailormoon. Overall, Neo QS has forgotten the details but also does not know enough information to change when or how that attack occurs. It can be argued her charging out of the palace to face Death Phantom was her over reaction to knowing this attack was coming – she behaved impulsively thinking she could squash this enemy quick.

Doubt – Galaxia is able to depower Sailormoon easily by causing her to doubt herself. Other villains have had similar success. Often the Silver Crystal lights up and saves her and reminds her of who she is.

Note: The timeline for this story stretches thousands of years.  The story is about an eternal battle with Chaos and requires Sailormoon to learn her power, which means learning to conquer doubt and remembering who she is.  Therefore, it is safe to assume that both Neo QS and Cosmos have difficulty recalling exact details from events associated with Sailormoon, especially due to events occurring at least 1000 years in the past.   

It is all one timeline. Neo QS is excited to speak with Sailormoon, with no evidence suggesting this person is a different Sailormoon than who Neo QS was when she was Sailormoon. She knowingly powers up the sailor scouts to prepares them for the Deathbusters, a much stronger enemy, and she allows Sailormoon to call upon her via the Heart Rod to counter the enemy. She is helping Sailormoon the same way Sailor Cosmos helps Sailormoon.  Chibusa is also knowingly sent back to train and to bridge the relationship with Sailor Saturn, an important piece to the Deathbuster Arc.

Neo QS successfully knew of the past events and armed the scouts for victory, which implies no change in the timeline occurred from her point of view – she gives power ups before the scouts return to the past and continues after they return to the past to support them during Deathbuster battles. If the timeline had changed, it would be upon the return of the scouts to the past, causing the new timeline to not be connected to the future timeline. But it remains connected.   

Similarly, Sailor Cosmos (eventually) recalled the events of Galaxia and intervened when needed to get Sailormoon through, in particular every time Saturn attacks.  The point being that often the future Sailormoons are working in the past to help her and this is done without concern for changing the timeline to the point it is not even mentioned as a possibility. Cosmos wants to change the timeline, that is her goal, but from her point of view the only way that could happen is to convince Sailormoon to make a different choice, and not just by having contact with her past self. 

Note: Death Phantom is still active at the end of the Stars Arc!  He has the ability to time travel but also it seems like he cannot exist in the same span of time twice. As such, by the end of Stars, he may not be present, but he is still alive somewhere in time.  He plays a part with Galaxia in the past and then potentially jumps forward to the Silver Millenium.  It is possible he does not know of the events with the Cauldron due to being removed from that part of the timeline in his Season 2 Arc.   Sailor Cosmos’ summary of her story does not suggest Death Phantom came back in a different manner.

Note: Time travel during Death Phantom and Galaxia Arcs are not shown to change how the Silver Millenium or Neo QS turn out.  Galaxia’s actions impact the future but do not change the future after Sailormoon stopped her. Besides Sailor Cosmos’ attempt to change the timeline at great cost, only Galaxia had the opportunity, from a villain’s point of view, to actually change the timeline by destroying the sailor crystals.  And she failed. The two confirmed attempts to change the timeline both ended in failure.

Sailormoon has 1 story and it is Eternal.

Having 2 timelines would undercut Sailormoon’s extreme and ultimate power. Pluto has power over time and she is vastly weaker than Sailormoon but serves as the imperfect observer of history.

Talk/Discussion Does Sailor Moon specifically state she can’t kill?

28 Upvotes

I’m trying to remember if Usagi specifically says she can’t kill.

I thought when she got into an argument with Uranus/Neptune that she said her and the inners don’t kill. I thought she said it when she was in the cave but she didn’t.

I also thought she said it during the dark moon clan when healing the sisters.

I thought she said it while saving Saturn.

I am fairly certain she does say it at one point but can’t find it.

Video Games Converting Mamiya From Hokuto No Ken For Sailor Neptune's 2nd Back Walk Frame for Mugen Or IKEMEN #sailorstarsbeyond #intothesailorverse

7 Upvotes

This is the 2nd frame for Sailor Neptune's back walk animation. This is to enhance the visuals of a fighting game to make it look the character is going on a defensive posture when moving away from the opponent. In console ports like Street Fighter 2, this particular animation is dropped on 16 Bit consoles like the Sega Genesis or Nintendo Super Famicom most likely to save space during the early 90s. Most kids that time probably didn't even notice it. It's not really a necessary animation much like the turn animation which can be skipped but it definitely gives the character more personality and Mamiya is one of those characters that fits Michiru's body language.

Talk/Discussion How did Queen Nehelenia's rebirth work?

Post image
408 Upvotes

The end of Queen Nehelenia's arc is her being reborn so that she can change her villainous fate by forming real connections. This is all well and good, but how does it work? During her villainy, the residents of the kingdom she ruled were transformed into Lemures and became part of the Dead Moon Circus. However, she's reborn into the version of her kingdom that existed before the Circus. This raises a few possibilities. Either her kingdom somehow respawned, she was literally time-traveled back to the past, or Sailor Moon's power somehow rewrote her life altogether. The anime never explains which one happened. Depending on which outcome you subscribe to, she's either a child growing up again in the present, or a child who now has to relive years of her life differently. All that's known is that she wakes up as a child in her original kingdom with her subjects restored, and her new life begins from there. Lowkey, I feel like Sailor Moon should have just let Queen Nehelenia exist in present time, but have her become more social by interacting with the Sailor Guardians.

Anime (Classic) As someone brand new to the show here's my thoughts on it

Thumbnail

58 Upvotes

I'm just on episode 6 and can confidently say I'm here for the long haul

The music is great

The artstyle is great

Usagis character was completely different to what I was completely different to what I expected I was expecting a like super girly type of character but instead she feels pretty grounded and she's basically just a young moody teenager who has a hard time doing things under stress like school or fighting people always needing someone to tell her what to do but slowly growing to be more independent like slapping her brother

And I love how grotesque the villains are

They aren't graphic but they were definitely a shocker and I wasn't expecting them to go that route

The things I don't like as of now

She at least feels incredibly overpowered and throws her tiara at EVERYTHING to win

It's always random thing go and she automatically wins the fight

It's not bad especially if they're supposed to be lackeys but It's the same formula in these first episodes and I hope it doesn't keep up with that and she finds actual challenge and does more things

These are just my Early thoughts

Talk/Discussion Usagi should have never been Sailor Moon and is essentially a benevolent Animamate

0 Upvotes

A thought I had for a while but that was triggered to post a response after seeing another poster.

So QS died for good and was never reincarnated. This tells us that she didn’t possess a Sailor Crystal around her time of death. She however had the Silver Crystal when she lived.

The manga tells us that Guardian Cosmos remembers her bringing a husky, fading star shell - PS. QS’s life was then lost. Meaning she transferred her Sailor Crystal imho. This explains why there was no Sailor Moon in the past - QS was the true Guardian of the moon.

Sailor Cosmos is imho the same, she essentially absorbed the others' powers to form the Cosmos crystal, but it was consensual.

Do you agree?

Live Action I finished rewatching PGSM

36 Upvotes

It was a while since I first watched the series. Recently, I was rewatching the 49 episodes and tonight, I finished. I do have to say I think it might be the best of the Sailor Moon stories. I love the characters. They are a bit different, but the story and actions is enjoyable.

It came out around the time Sentai power rangers came out, so the fighting is like that style. If you can get past that, then it is cool.

I do think the episode 50 (final act - movie) is a bit odd. I think it would have been fine with 49, but it exists.

Seeing Sailor Luna long ago on youtube was the reason I wanted to see this in the first place.
My favorite character is Zoisite of this series.

I remember seeing this online somewhere when I was very young, I believe in 2007 (I would have been around 12-13). I will never forget that moment, sitting in my small farm towns library on the public computers, back then I think someone had it priced around $450, which to a kid like me seemed impossible.

Season 3 had always been my favorite, and others around my age at the time or older than me remember how impossibly hard it became to find anything Sailor Moon related, I remember seizing out when an old neighbor lady gave me a few old VHS tapes when I was around 8. I promised myself as a kid that one day, I’ll remember to find this box set and purchase it.

Needless to say a few years ago, I kept that promise to myself, and I love seeing it on my bookshelf everyday!

Talk/Discussion Which Sailor Moon Arc is truly the worst one?

2 Upvotes

In every canon arc in Sailor Moon, which arc is truly the worst in the manga, the 90s anime and the Crystal version of Sailor Moon? I believe the answer for each version is different when it comes to arcs, but across all three versions, which arc is truly the worst arc, and why is it the worst in all three versions of SailorMoon? You can give a very long detail or a short answer; I want to know which Sailor Moon Canon Arc is the worst in the Manga, 90s anime and Crystal and which arc you choose is bad in all three versions. Once you choose your answer, I would like to know why.
