I will openly admit i watched this shyt before school every morning like clockwork and followed the storyline. I’m kind of surprised they never brought it to toonami and dubbed the rest of the seasons.

part of it was, that i literally watched anything anime growing up. This, samurai pizza cats, ronin warriors, dragonball, etc. good anime series growing up were sparse, and sailor moon actually had some fire animation in season 2. I actually think the original Sailor Moon series was more lit than Dragonball growing up.

:banderas:The only thing lit about Sailor Moon was the theme song. Other than that it was repetitive af with weak action. At least in my opinion but the show is very influential. One of the major pillars of the magical girl genre.

I thought that it was on toonami. I remember seeing promos


I only watched the first season in the 90s when it was syndicated.

I fukked with that DiC :dame: dub

It was broadcast on USA Network and then Toonami picked up the rights to broadcast the later seasons.

certified classic and brehs wanted to be tuxedo mask. only people not acknowledging it's status are people ashamed to admit they watched anime girl shows. this and cardcaptor sakura were the joints back in the day and inspired alot of future concepts.

I remember really liking it as a kid waiting for Dragon Ball to come on but as an adult, I haven’t seen a singular second of it

Absolute cap.

Shiit was always mid but something doesn't have to be cutting edge quality to be influential and it's definitely a pillar of the industry.

it was never mid. Its a children's show, they're intentionally repetitive. If u a grown ass man watching it now ofc you're gonna be bored by it. action was not the point of the show either, these are teenage girls fighting evil by moonlight & winning love by daylight. :yeshrug:

edit: and you better not have no Gundam shows from that time in your top 5 cause they had the same amount of action

You infantalizing young me is insulting AF. I knew then, as did many others, shiit was mid at best. Not everyone has default bad taste and low standards just because they're young.

Stop projecting lil breh.

Sailor Moon became the Gold Standard for "Magical Girl" anime. That being said a High-Level it was a general story with monster-of-the-week format.

It's a great starter anime, and it knows what it is, so it works.

Funny shyt though, DIC was trying to avoid talking about Neptune and Uranus' sexual relationship, so they called them 'Cousins' but still kept the romantic advances in the show; so instead of saying they were Lesbians, DIC had made them look they were Incestuous.
