I Have Been a Sailor Moon Fan Since: 1997 or 98 the glorious Toonami days ^^

Favorite Episode or Movie: Hard to say really since the anime is really awesome and is my gateway anime next to DBZ, Tenchi, Pokemon etc. However, my fave series happens to be Sailor Stars since it was a mature-ish series in the Sailor Moon series and Usagi showed a lot of growth within the anime here. Plus god I love her form in this series too with the angel wings and everything.

Favorite Sailor Moon Character: Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus.

Other anime or Manga I like: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Madoka, FLCL, Tenchi, Golgo 13, Soul Eater, Cowboy Bebop, Steel Angel Kurumi, Pokemon, Street Fighter. I like many others as well, but this is just to name a few.

Other tidbits about myself: I been a cosplayer since 2008 and been in the con scene in my neck of the woods for a bit now. Other than anime, I love Video Games since it became a gateway to my geeky interests including anime along with Pro Wrestling. Sailor Moon as I said was my gateway anime and it even led me among other things to have me meet my girlfriend who happens to be a Serenity cosplayer herself and a Moonie like me. Glad to be on the staff of the website so I’m looking forward to what I can bring to the site.

I Have Been A SM Fan Since: Late 2001
Favorite Episode or Movie: Okay, I’m a bit of a heathen but I actually might say the Entirety of PGSM… If I have to go animated though, the Mistress 9 Saga from Sailor Moon S. Also Episodes 196-200 of Stars. Fav Movie: Sailor Moon R: The Movie
Fav SM Character: Sailor Saturn from the Anime; Sailor Luna and Zoisite from PGSM. Also, loving Crystal Tuxedo Kamen/Chiba Mamoru.
Other Manga and Anime: Demon Diary, Planet Ladder, Digimon (S1-3), Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Black Butler, among many others
Other Tidbits: I was in the Navy for 4 years, spending a few of those in Japan (Sadly, no SM Musicals were going on while I was there). I also would use Sailor Moon to study for my advancement exams, which apparently helps. I am a full-time student who studies Psychology, wants to study law and wants to watch her Anime too.

I Have Been a Sailor Moon Fan Since: Around 1996

Favorite Episode or Movie: Sailor Moon R: Promise of the Rose. I had seen episodes here and there since I was five when visiting a good friend who had cable, but the first Moon movie is what made me a fan for life when I got to rent it way back in 2000 or so. I still have ‘The Power of Love’ on my iPod to this day.

Favorite Sailor Moon Character: Sailor Jupiter. Ponytailed tomboy myself, Lita/Makoto was my idol for her unabashed love of both boyish stuff and girly things. I also had a serious love of cooking.

Other Anime or Manga I like: Moribito, Beast Player Erin, Fullmetal Alchemist, Kamisama Kiss, Kaleido Star, Cardcaptor Sakura, Yu Yu Hakusho, Full Moon o Sagashite, anything Studio Ghibli or Mamoru Hosoda, and of course, the new Sailor Moon manga reprint.

Other tidbits: I honestly don’t know if I would have ended up in culinary school if it weren’t for my fangirling of Lita back in the day. If I could pick how a release of the old Sailor Moon anime was created, I would vote for an uncut redub with the old cast and dub music cues on the same disc as a Japanese sub track. The upcoming anime? Fancy pants box sets with extras everywhere please and thank you!

I Have Been a Sailor Moon Fan Since: 1998

Favorite Episode or Movie: Episode 34 of the original, 30 in the dub- I like both versions, but the visual of the crystal appearing from Usagi’s teardrop with My Only Love playing in the background is particularly memorable for me. I also think 166, the finale of SuperS, is seriously underrated; am I the only one who thinks it’s cool that the big bad of the season turns out to be gravity?

Favorite Sailor Moon Character: Sailor Venus. She’s crazy in such a special, lovely way.

Other Anime or Manga I like: Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Fate/Stay Night, Claymore, Durarara!!, Card Captor Sakura, Ginban Kaleidoscope, Ghost in the Shell, Eyeshield 21, Love Hina, Azumanga Daioh, and uh, there’s lots more- depends how I’m feeling when you ask me.

Other tidbits: I also write for Japanator.com, and am attending this year’s Otakon in a decidedly Moon-Chasey capacity. I want a snazzy boxset of all 200 SM episodes pretty badly- well, actually I wanted that pretty badly ten years ago. Now I’m past wanting it “pretty badly” and have moved on to uncharted territory.

I Have Been a Sailor Moon Fan Since: 1995 or 1996

Favorite Episode or Movie: Episode 30 of the first season’s English dub–“A Crystal Clear Destiny”. I taped the Dragon Ball Z movie, “The World’s Strongest”, off of Toonami back in ’99 or 2000. When I watched the tape later, there was a Sailor Moon episode that got taped along with it because I didn’t know how to program the VCR’s stop-time. That episode would be the only regular access to the Sailor Moon Anime I’d have for the better part of a decade.

Favorite Sailor Moon Character: Sailor Mercury. She’s cute, smart, and the origins of my attraction to the “bookwormy-type”.

Other Anime or Manga I like: Anime: Trigun, Fooly Cooly, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Dragon Ball Z, School Rumble, and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time movie. Manga: Bleach, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Naruto from the U.S. Shonen Jump magazine, Rosario + Vampire, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Death Note.

Other tidbits: I was late for school on a regular basis because of watching Sailor Moon. I don’t regret it. The English theme for Sailor Moon usually gets daily playback from me because of its guitar solo. I don’t subscribe to the “change-everything-from-the-original-dub-back-to-the-way-the-Japanese-version-had-it” mentality for a Sailor Moon re-dubbing. I want any re-dubbing of the show to be a hybrid of both the English and Japanese versions.
