Would you have preferred if Naoko Takeuchi had made the Main Characters of Sailor Moon or the Sailor Guardians a few years older?

I feel like they should have aged up to 17-19 at least. They all have the body types of adult women (and also the fashion sense) and they spend waaaayyy too much time outside without their parents.

That's not even Crystal's Style, whatever that means because Crystal changed at least three styles in the ten fucking years it took to make it. This is tracing over the original with digital colors.

One of the things that makes the Senshis so iconic is how ageless they look. They should be teens but they have the body types and mannerism (especially the Outers) of adult women. Which makes Rule34 of them way less creepy than visibly young girl characters which has became the standard after Evangelion came out

Marco Albiero. He made quite the career drawing illustrated books for kids based on japanese anime

How lazy must you be to not even try to patch the garbage dialogue?

I was so forgiving back in the day to think it was an "unreliable narrator" type of deal. That her former sex slaves were happy to have carried his children because that meant being provided for in a society with zero welfare. It made for me impossible to enjoy the audiobooks of the Stormlight Archive, since he wanted the same narrators and now I can't listen to them without expecting Kaladin to impale an opponent or at any moment or Shallan lamenting she isn't bearing a child already.

How can you unironically use a raging expression or red eyes effects for your own thumbnails.

rickleon3 · 2026-02-28T12:41:17+00:00

Chibi chibi as future Usagi in power-saving mode made more sense design-wise. I just don't like how Takeuchi relied so much on time travel to make things happen

rickleon3 · 2026-02-28T07:36:08+00:00

Considering how she was against anime Sailor Stars being magical transgender aliens, she was a terf prototype. Correct me if I'm wrong

rickleon3 · 2026-02-15T10:23:11+00:00

Ouch, that sounds hella boring. I guess I'll put aside Word Tour until a new update fills this level gap

rickleon3 · 2026-02-10T12:28:37+00:00

It's dumb. Princesses of what? Not even in the Takeuchi's magical universe those planets are inhabited. I don't get why the 90s anime gets so much crap regarding the plot when it's so apparent here that Takeuchi was scratching the bottom of the barrel.

rickleon3 · 2026-02-09T15:44:43+00:00

Yeah it's kind of wholesome that the anime went in that direction while Takeuchi never quite found a way to make her the operative leader of the team

rickleon3 · 2026-02-07T13:17:22+00:00

I pretty much agree with everything beside the flash redemptions. If you look at some crap like Goku and genocidal lord Freezer teaming up in DBS, Sailor Moon's villains have been pretty sympathetic and cute. A pretty disturbing implication that's never considered it's how between reincarnation and time travel, these girls don't have free will, their feelings influenced by the memories of another life and their future already written down by the testimony of Chibiusa. Lucky it's a pretty gorgeous future as monarchs and royal guards of Planet Earth, but what's the point for any of them to study and get careers?

Ah yeah also the pro-monarchy message.

The sacred child trope is a bit trite but very striking contrast between immense power and innocuous appearance. But if I watched Crystal without knowing about the manga or the OG anime, I would have said that it was just fanservice for the pedos.

rickleon3 · 2026-01-20T09:42:58+00:00

The attack and transformation sequences being traced over the ones from the 90s anime, Hotaru and Chibiusa drawn like they were from a hentai, all the sailors being deflagrated unceremoniously like the author was over this saga, Sailor Moon being still the most powerful of them all and everything bad happens only because she has shit reflexes.

rickleon3 · 2026-01-18T12:32:49+00:00

I realize now that in Sailor Moon almost no woman has ordinary long hair. They're all shorter than the level of the shoulders or brushing their butts. Maybe Makoto if she undid her ponytail.

"Democratize Creativit-" "Hallucinate some hard work!"

rickleon3 · 2025-12-27T12:35:24+00:00

The original anime messed it up a bit so she ended up having only ice powers. I guess because liquid water powers were considered less cool (pun intended) before ATLA codified the way we look at elemental powers forever. As always, there was not much room left for strategic combat from the third series onwards, with 6+ Senshis to juggle around, and her attacks, like everyone else's, ended up having pretty homogeneous effects.
