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.
you came for me first.. I was cool letting you have that off the wall ass opinion. its on all the top 10-15 anime of the 90s list nobody gaf about the action.

Lit? No, but it was aight for a bored kid in the 90s :yeshrug: especially when there wasn't much other anime to choose from at the time.

It was basically either that, Pokemon, or if you were lucky and willing to wake up early enough DBZ.

Sailor Moon was part of some legendary Toonami line ups and the Dub was fire :wow:

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.
Honestly, I would say Sailor Moon is the Shoujo equivalent as Dragon Ball was for Shounen. Sailor Moon's influence is heavily felt in the Mahou Shoujo genre. You have series like Precure, Madoka and more which are heavily inspired by it. Much like how the Big 3 was inspired from Dragon Ball.

It is a reminder why anime & manga have demographics. If you were a boy, you would want to watch Dragonball, Yugioh or Pokémon before Sailor Moon. Though for It's time, it was a big deal for girls watching it since for anime there wasn't too much like it. It's one of those shows that its impact greatly out does its quality.

Came on like 6am on ch. 11

Then I'd watch James Bond Jr and Street Sharks on ch. 9

90s was different, man:banderas:

I was trying to remember the specific times for that shyt. Good memory! I think Beast Wars came on at 7am a couple years after. Do you remember Highlander?

Nah :unimpressed:

Tired of them acting like they don't know who Tuxedo Mask was on some Clark Kent shiet

It just came on before shows I actually wanted to watch like Ronin Warriors

I googled. I don't remember it

But I do remember how every channel on Saturday morning became paid programming. Wild to see in real time.

I used to love that show. I never really finished it though. I quit after Sailor Moon S. I tried to watch the remake but it just didn't work for me. It didn't have the comical element of the original.

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.
Pretty much modeled my preteen self after Tuxedo Mask lol

Was it effective? Not very :mjcry:
