Let's have a Sailor Moon thread. I think it is a very funny show.
>>282253450Too bad it gets repetitive at some points.
>>282253450SM always had been comedy gold.
>is smarter than her momI don't get it.
>>282254218Don't act like we moved past them.
>>282257100>weYou're not one of us, groyper. You sold out
>>282255292She gets it from her dad.
>>282253450The beast.
I saw this dude many times on /a/, but I didn't know he was from Sailor Moon. Pretty solid episode. He and the rest of the security crew might be some of the best background characters in the series.
>>282253450>I think it is a very funny show.It really is a funny show.
>>282259945
>>282260151These in-betweens are so good.
>>282253450>I think it is a very funny show.Yeah, if you’re 5…
>>282259945Is Minako krumping there?
>>282255292She grew up with Mamoru as a father, Ami as a tutor, and Usagi as an example.When she saw how her mother struggled in school, it's no wonder she'd hit the books.
>>282255292>>282260812>Wants her dad when doing so will not only prevent her birth but also give her inbred deformed childrenShe’s not very smart at all, in fact she’s downright dumber than Usagi.
>>282260853Risks with inbreeding are low with one generation, but compound with each successive instance.And it's irrelevant, since she found a new guy to crush on.
>>282260951>Crushing on a literal horseYep, definitely more retarded than Usagi…
>>282253450>>282254038The dub is funnier, zoomers will never know such kino lines such as:>Go bleach your roots creep!
i prefer the live action
>>282262310It’s objectively the best written version, shame the cheap Tokusatsuness of it all filters so many.
>>282262822That's a good thing. Filtering retards is always a good thing.
So we all agree Crystal is the absolute worst version that brings nothing of value to the table right?
>>282254038>And then Sailor Moon's daughter fucked a horse. Funniest thing I've ever seen.
>>282255292>chibiunkoNo, thanks. I would rather have the good chibi.
Who among the girls has the best pubic hair?
>>282264492your mother... now kys
I like the first season the most
>>282262310>>282262822It's a good show, but it can be really corny at times.
>>282253450This is my comfort show, it makes me happy
>>282261530DIC version popularized the show as a whole, the latino version used the English names. The Japanese version is good, but it's like saying you prefer the Japanese version of Pokemon.
>>282265199No one below the age of 40 remembers the americanized dubs.Damn, my mom watched Sailor Moon with the English names and I'm almost 30 lmao
>>282260812>Usagi as an example.>When she saw how her mother struggled in school, it's no wonder she'd hit the books.The fun part of her first arc was that she initially thought her mother was some perfect womanly idol. It was only by going back in time and seeing what a girlfailure her mother was in school that made her realize she was just a person.
>>282267028And then when Diana comes into the picture, you learn that she's still a bunhead, just with a pretty dress.
>>282265667Did your mom have you when she was young?
>>282267097When she was 19~20ish
>turns into EWJ
YTV
>>282254218Kek.
>>282262310I can't believe Venus fucking died
>>282253450Funny is always the best. Sailor Moon makes fun of itself and is aware of it's absurdity. Then you get tossed into moments of seriousness when the timelines are revealed.
>>282265199>The Japanese version is goodNah it has woke gay shit, which the old dub got rid of so the dub is automatically superior as a result.
>>282268026>which the old dub got rid ofSomeone didn't watch the original dub nor did they watch anything else put out by the distributors. Don't worry, I was there for it when it aired. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wvjC9vgxKEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hPlBXOIqls
Nobody liked Amy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruKYP6gT9hg
>>282263638Ami shoving hamburgers in her mouth on her computer was us 90s web nerds' spirit animal
>>282267413
>>282268410>upscales
>>282268410>>282268694The upscale really murders the lineart doesn't it? I hope it wasn't an official release.
The watercolor backgrounds were so great. Every single second of Sailor Moon is a joy to watch
the manga is good too
>>282268715>>282268694Well yea, the original was filmed on old film stock. Long before DVD and before BD. Where do you think they got it? There is word they are going to upscale again for 4K when that hits mainstream in the next two years. If you want an original you have to go with finding the original film stock and transfer it to 4K. The original film is probably rotted away anyways.
>>282268841>The original film is probably rotted away anyways.Tragic
>>282268145The 90s dub gives me crazy saved by the bell vibes
>>282268841Yeah sure I'll stick with my italian dvds and my VHS tapes
>>282268977Do you have backups for when they inevitably stop working?
>>282268872Most new people tot he series are watching upscales anyways. 1080p is the only thing they want to see it on. For those of us already on 4K the original is getting upscaled anyways because the tiny. Like when anons here post screen caps in 480p all I see is a thumbnail. I'm more surprised anons don't actually do 4K.
>>282269013Yes. Next question, faggot?
>>282269027>I'm surprised more anons don't watch garbageI'm glad you're not company I associate with.
>>282269030What do you recommend for backing up VHS tapes digitally? I have a few I would like preserved.
>>282259687Tien’s student…
>>282269030Do you have backups for the backups?>>282269027Don't you have fractional scaling turned on?
>>282269082Anyone who doesn't have 2 or 3 backups is asking for trouble when one of their drives fails.
>>282269082Yep. 4K is just that big of a jump and many don't really realize it. 1080p is small and gets all weird when you make it bigger. I have to go through all my pics and replace them with the maximum size I can find because everything old I have is so small. The technological jump is that big and that isn't even mentioning 8K and 10K which are 10 years in the pipeline.
So now what are you guys going to do now that people are running 4K systems? Hold out like the 720p guys did? Setup each time you want to watch old anime on an old computer? Accept upscales or even... AI to fill the gaps? New graphics card and 4K monitor? The clock is ticking away, you need to do something.
>>282269363Just watch the originals on a bigger monitor. You might as well complain about old shows not being widescreen.
>>282269407>You might as well complain about old shows not being widescreenAnon that's literally what happened to 4chan in general. Anons got themselves into this situation dunking all over 720p and old 480p watchers and now some zoomer comes along and slams everybody with a 4k monitor and probably some $1000 graphics card. It's even more depressing knowing old film and tapes are rotting away and CRT tech is gone.
>>282269363CRT shaders
>>282269523I didn't know you could do that with Retroarch. Neat. The last time I tried CRT Royale it left a temporary burn in on my TV though so I haven't tried it again.
>>282269567You can also use shaderglass (which accepts retroarch shader presets) and your video player of choice, it's a bitch to get it working without breaking anything but once you get the hang of it the results are great.
>>282269171I own a 4k 27'' monitor and I can see pics just fine.
>>282269630>lookin' good
>>282269523That's funny, I like it. The TV looks really retro like 70's vintage. I had a 1998 cheapo tv which didn't have the huge furniture. By then the cable feed was good enough and I never used the 3 cable setup.
>>282269630I have a 32in 4K. It looks a little better, still noisy.
Which one your favorite?
>>282270057Small Lady best girl
>>282253450It's got the boom anime babes.
>>282270057usagi > rei > minako > ami > makoto
>>282270057I don't have favourites. I have a forever WIFE. And I have eyes for no one else.
>>282270140Same but swap Minako and Makoto.
The girls are so cute.
It's almost unfair how great Rei was. She stole the show every time she was onscreen.
>>282270368>uranusJesus.
Destiny aside, did Usagi deserve him?
>>282270805He is shit and should have been killed
>>282270805Yes. He has got to make her stop crying somehow.
>>282270299>wasis... she always is
>>282271377
>>282271377whore
>>282259687hilariously ridiculous depiction aside, i do enjoy the idea of makoto having some musculature. in the same way i wouldn't mind usagi with some actual chub. but i don't see (or ever expect) anyone who could tastefully integrate them.
Would make a baseball team with.
>>282271519Where's that design art by Naoko that describes Usagi and Rei as being the same height, and Rei as being slender?
>>282271525sexy legs
>>282271519Maybe it's the legs, they are muscular.
>>282254218So... it was her all this time?
>>282272049Short girls are cute.
>>282268145>Recycling PSAsHow is that woke? Nothing will ever be as woke as LGBTQ and POC shilling.
>>282270057The biggest one, of course!
Love their dynamic. It's probably the best depiction of friendship in the group. The way they bicker with each other, but also 100% have each other's backs.
>>282272688Rei-chan is always the first to worry about usagi-chan. Love to see it.
>>282270057Usagi>>282270805Mamoru is a shit
>>282270805Usagi is super cute. Of course she deserves him
>>282271670
>>282272783Jokes aside, Takeuchi could make Mamoru prettier. He looks like a grown up Shinji Ikari rather than a shoujo heart throb
>>282272783Isn’t that version of him gay for his brother?
>>282270805>did Usagi deserve him?The real question you should be asking is if Mamoru deserved Usagi. Guy’s a useless beta cuck who keeps allowing himself to get kidnapped and brainwashed and treats Usagi like trash.
>>282273582Mamoru treats Usagi pretty well, except in S1 and when he break up with her
>>282273659>Mamoru treats Usagi pretty well, except in S1 and when he break up with herNo he treats her more like a daughter the exact same as Chibiusa rather than a girlfriend.
>>282273659No, he doesn't and that's not S1, but R which proves you know nothing about the series like all m*mocuck apologists. He is a worthless piece of shit as many have stated already and he deserves something worse than death. He should have been thrown into a black hole and nothing of value would be lost.
>>282273740He treats Usagi MUCH worse than Chibiusa... whom he likely diddled as well... that fucking faggot deserves the electric chair and I'm being generous
>>282270166>>282272688>>282272768>>282273582>>282273742>>282273757Ikuhara…
>>282268203Ami and Artemis are based. Someone needs to keep those girls in line. Classic Asian blunt honesty when it comes to being overweight.
Has anybody ever tried to imagine themselves in the Sailor Moon anime? >walkable city>you see familiar faces all of the time>things are always happening, people are always doing thingsI've really tried to deep dive self-insert myself to think how I could possibly become a boyfriend for one of the main girls or even just become the one-off subject of a single episode (MAYBE I HAVE THE CRYSTAL MACGUFFIN DEEP INSIDE OF MY HEART, YOU KNOW!) It's just impossible because our reality is so much different than that of a 90's anime.
>>282268816>the manga is goodNo, it’s yuritroon pandering crap that deliberately spites fujos and inspired subversive/deconstructive shit like Madoka.>>282273757>that fucking faggot deserves the electric chairMamoru deserves either Fiore or Fish-Eye.
>>282274069As a bottom, yes
>>282274124>Fish-Eye>ever not being a bottomThat nigga’s even more bottom/uke coded than Zoisite.
>>282273893I'm not Ikuhara, I'm someone who loves Rei Hino much more than he ever could... Ikuni can keep Utena or whatever, but Sailor Mars is my wife.
>>282273893Again with this shit? Ikuhara hating Mamoru and shipping Rei/Usagi is an old meme that come from a mistranslation. The real quote is Ikuhara saying sometimes he want to kill Mamoru for having Usagi all for himself. That was obviously tongue-in-cheek like many Ikuhara's statements. In fact Ikuhara is highly critical of waifu culture
>>282274156>Sailor Mars is my wife.How do you imagine yourself being her husband? How would you get close to her? Would you start working at a Japanese temple to get to know her? How would your unique dynamic complement each other? In what ways would you both grow? She's not only a beautiful shrine maiden, Rei wants to be a singer.
>>282274220>Ikuhara hating Mamoru and shipping Rei/Usagi is an old meme that come from a mistranslation.So why’d he clash with Naoko then?
>>282253450I want to punch all the main cast in their dumb slut faces.
>>282274285Creative choices. Ikuhara is an artsy guy influenced by Shuji Terayama and Osamu Dezaki that like to stick it to the man like his heroes and Naoko is more of a businesswoman. Also Ikuhara is a huge perv. It's a little similar to Mamoru Oshii and Rumiko clashing over Urusei Yatsura
>>282274237I don't need to imagine what I actually am. If I would make a list of the things I've done for Rei Hino these three decades it would be too long to write it here. Let's just say I not only learnt Japanese just for her, but also became a translator just for her... I also became a Kyuodoka just for her and of course studied a lot about Shinto and pretty much she's been at the core of many importan life decisions because of course she's at the core of my heart... in a few weeks I'm going to Japan just to be there in first row at the Superlive seeing my beloved Rei-chan now in October... yes, I know she wants to be a singer songwriter, and of course I'd support her, she is full of talent and the lyrics she writes are pure poetry... I play the guitar pretty well myself but her talent is outstanding, something else. She is one of a kind... I love my dear Sailor Mars and I always will.
>>282274285>why’d he clash with Naoko then?Because he’s a based fujo god who included fujo pandering in the anime and Naoko is a yuritard who hates men and fujos and didn’t want any yaoi in her work.
>>282274395Is there any source for that? Naoko doesn't talk much about the anime but she said that the 90s anime is a male perspective or something
I want to abuse Ami until she cries.I want to beat her up every day.I want to tell her that nobody would ever love her and she should kill herself
>>282274299>>282274474>>>/r9k/
>>282273757>whom he likely diddled as wellCompletely justified.
>>282274446>Is there any source for that?She disavowed the R movie and said it doesn’t represent SM for her just because she was big mad Ikuhara dared to ship Fiore with Mamoru in it, she also deliberately contradicted any fujo pandering the anime did even when the anime was already ahead of the manga and she knew what they were doing, such as pairing up the Inners with the Shittenou once she saw they made Kunzite/Zoisite a couple as well as making Fish-Eye target Ami and try to kiss her instead of Mamoru.>she said the 90’s anime is a male perspective Which is ironic because it’s her version that would appeal to men more considering she practically deletes all male characters while yuribaiting (including the ultimate smelly old man yuritroonery of the loli Chibiusa/Hotaru ship which Ikuhara deleted from the anime thank god) all while denying fujos of their fanservice and straight female gaze.
>>282270057Hotaru ToMOE
>>282274496All girls are stupid and deserve to be beaten!
>>282274000reading shit like this makes me ashamed to browse this board
>>282274969I always liked how small and delicate she is. >>282274991what's wrong with that?!
>the loli Chibiusa/Hotaru ship which Ikuhara deleted from the anime thank godConsidering the other two love interests floated for Chibs by the show are her father and a horse, I think Chibs/Hotaru is the best of the options.
>>282253450Is it worth watching for the first time in 2025?
>>282274446>Panty shotThat’s a leotard shot retard.
>>282275044yes, and I'm sure you'll get mesmerized by it.
>>282270805He was funny and entertaining in the first season. Afterwards, he was kinda meh, R did the whole break-up thing which was worth something, and then afterwards he was completely side-lined.
>>282273582If it wasn't for him Usagi would have died to a dumb monster of the week hundreds of times.
>it's another Ando directed episode>it's not filler
>>282270805Was the Rei x Mamoru shit necessary?
>>282274474You're one of the monsters of the week that get one-shot by the senshi
>>282275424him and Hasegawa are my favourite art directors for the show. picrel is Hasegawa's work, it shows how sharp and aggressive his style was. real killer vibe.
>>282275424I love these goofy style faces like you wouldn't believe
>>282275472Mamoru is an unnecessary piece of shit entirely and the best Stars did was getting rid of that fucking moron.
>>282275508Yes but not during the SuperS final run. Ando ruined all the genius work of Ikuko Itoh during that season.
>>282275044>Is it worth watching for the first time in 2025?If you’re over the age of 5 then no.
>>282270805>Loses relevance in the show after R>Mostly there for support but even that diminishes as time went on, mostly there for filler episodes and in the finale (mostly)>Stars removes him entirely, and only re-appears at the endHaven't watched Crystal, maybe they've fixed him.
>>282275558>they've fixed himAs in neutering? Like a dog? Yes, they should totally "fix" with some big ass scissors.
>>282274319>It's a little similar to Mamoru Oshii and Rumiko clashing over Urusei YatsuraNot similiar at all, in that case Rumiko and Oshii mainly clashed over the tone and genre they wanted UY to take, with Rumiko wanting it to remain a simple gag comedy and Oshii wanting to go all “2deepforu” psychological drama shit.Meanwhile Ikuhara and Naoko clashed over more minutiae details rather than the very tone. (Though there were creative differences between them in that area too, with Naoko wanting to go all edgy and grimdark while Ikuhara tended towards subtlety.)
>>282253450The humor is definitely the best part about it.
>>282275044Technically I did that and I loved it.I already had watched a bunch of random eps when it aired in the 90s, but I didn't really care much about magical girls back then.
She won
>>282275558>>282275134>>282273742Even in the manga Mamoru eventually becomes irrelevant, because Naoko gets the yuri bug and starts shipping Usagi with Haruka plus the ending is basically Usagi marrying her entire Senshi harem too. He’s the Chi-Chi of Sailor Moon, only there to make sure Chibiusa gets born and that’s basically it.
>>282276256>marrying her entire Senshi harem tooHow many hundred threads are you gonna spam your same inane bullshit?>Chi-ChiAh you are a dbspic, I can't expect any intelligence from your ilk. Mind you, I don't even like Naoko but seriously kys spamming shonentard
>>282276132This used to be the dream long before I figured out how sex worked. The sweet naivety of youth.
>>282274000>Sailor Moon goes for a walk in the park>I, decked out in camouflage, scrim, facepaint, and carrying a loaded M4 stroll right out of the bush and say helloThis actually happened on the last field exercise I did. Some desk jockey officer got lost and drove onto our training ground, and all 30 of us just emerged from the darkness and said hello. Startled the shit out of him.
>>282276298>muh dbspic bogeymanThey’re both Toei IPs and both were the Toonami anime gateways for Millennials in the 90’s, of course they’d have overlap fuckin what did you expect? Sailor Moon is pretty much the Magical Girl version of DBZ anyways in pretty much every way.
