“women in saint seiya tend to be whimpering victims...” wait are you serious? Hilda kicked seiya’s ass so hard before he went bullshit strong with athena’s cheat blessings, and athena being the goddess of all kinds of cheating blessings herself, how the hell are they weak? some of the strongest being in that anime are…

The problem I have with Sailor Moon Crystal it moves really fast. I know it’s not the anime from the 90's, and I know it follows the Manga more closely. But he does move a little too fast. It’s like Usagi wakes up finds out she is Sailor Moon. Sees hot boy, bam they fall in love, the other warriors join. They kill the…

Now I know you didn't actually watch the Asgard arc w your comment.

TL;DR

That is...really depressing.

"That's like me and a friend buying the exact same purse, but my friend bought hers in Japan and I bought mine in America, and both were made by the same brand but I put a sticker on mine and took out the wallet that came with it and then here you come calling it a knock-off."

For those who may not know, of course. There do exist people who have not experienced the hacked up English dub, and some of the complaints against Crystal you may have read could be from people comparing it to the original Japanese anime (the English dubbed & censored version is hardly the "Original anime" as you…

"And thank the stars Haruka and Michiru will finally be lesbians and not cousins! And look, Zoisite isn't a girl. He's back to being a male and maybe we'll actually see Sailor Cosmos this time!"

It really is. It's kind of troublesome, actually. But hey, at least there's still the original series, which has received a rather well-executed facelift (and a more faithful adaptation for international releases).

Let me start this statement by saying I got hooked on Sailor Moon in a very similar way to you, Richard. The show became can't-miss viewing while on Toonami and I owned my fair share of the series on those pink, sparkly boxed VHS tapes. I was even jealous of one of my other friend who had the whole Doom Tree story…

This one isn't "bad". It just feels off because compared to the original release, i didn't feel attached to any of the characters on here. The original series had episodes dedicated to each character once in while to get to know the personality of each character and their feelings. This one didn't have this and…

I think the fundamental problem with this remake is that yes, the series was true to the manga, but in retrospect, that was also very shallow. Character development only happened pretty much once or twice per series when each scout was targeted by the newest enemy, and it reinforced their traits, their dreams, and…

Is this iteration really missing the "goofyness" of the first one? I distinctly remember the original had a lot of that going on, and that'd be pretty disappointing if this was devoid of that stuff.

Sailor Moon popularized the magical school girl genre and it is a shame this was not targeted as a Sailor Moon relaunch to introduce the series to a new generation. Instead this just feel like a low-budget, half-hearted attempt at something for the core fan base. Nearly two decades have passed since I watched the…

It's one of the best arcs. Best filler ever.

Elsa has an actual personality? Her development (if you can call it that) was shunted into a single line: "Love? Love, of course!" and then she's suddenly got her shit together? Other than that she was just a mcguffin for her sister to chase after through half the movie.

Wasn't Lion King just a reinterpretation of Hamlet?

" surely they'd pick something better than one of the worst arcs of a 1980's Japanese anime." are you completely nuts !!!

God Saori sucks, but Hilda is not exactly possessed she is corrupt by the ring. And I wouldn't consider the females in Saint Seiya particularly terrible, I mean there are so few and have such small roles (besides Shaina and Marin) that I wouldn't even call out their crappynes.

Ripping from and being inspired from are two different things
