>>291039469I can’t believe Mercury and Jupiter are dead!
>>291039422Are these boys or girls?
>>291039594i know this kind of doujinshi
And that's it. Don't you dare hurt the crow girls.Have a nice day.
>>291039660yes
>>291039469Call me crazy, but isn’t this not the first time their bodies were destroyed and their crystals taken?
>>291039567I’m enjoying Usagi’s PTSD arc
>>291039735This might be yuri?
>>291039821Thanks OP!
Stream in about an hour!
>>291039821Well crows are intelligent after allLikewiseThanks as always OP!
>>291039821Thank you for posting.
>>291039604What in the Yu-Gi-Oh is that card
>>291042957kek I forgot about that card
>>291039448>impossibleI wouldn't be that shocked. After all, nobody knew about Plut nor Neptune and Uranus in the beginning.>>291039573Awwww>>291039664Hot>>291039735Your goggles don't even have to be that thick to call this yuribaiting.>>291039821Thanks, OP.
>>291040115Unless I am a forgetful retard, I don't think this has happened before. They got kidnapped in the Black Moon arc, but otherwise never were killed, no?Unlike in the anime, where the Sailor senshi already die in the first arc - something Naoko wanted to do in the manga as well, but was denied - and then revived with the power of the Silver Crystal.
>>291039821Thanks, anonsito.
>>291039700>>291039735>Some “people” will look at these panels and STILL try and claim Naoko wasn’t yuribaitingEspecially coming off that Reinako lesbian kissing demon short story.>>291040223>This might be yuri?All of it is, Sailor Moon is an inherently yuritroon pandering manga, and it gets even more obvious Naoko wanted to make it full yuri but was stopped by corporate when you look at her next manga PQ Angels. Mamoru is nothing but a corporate mandated character and yet she STILL tried her hardest to make him as feminine and woman coded as possible or at least turn him into a generic, bland harem protagonist self-insert type to appease the waifufags. Even that didn’t fully satisfy her cause she starts cucking him with actual yuri in the forms of Haruka and Seiya in the latter half of the manga. This arc literally kills him off just so she can have Seiya try and cuck him.
>>291039534>>291039550wait, we've seen this this guy before, like forever agowhen was the last time he showed up?
>>291047091At the very least in the Infinity arc. Not sure if we've seen him in the Dream arc, though.
>>291047091>>291047126>AsanumaNaoko literally only created him to pull a bait & switch and mean-spiritedly mock us fujos.
>>291040223You might be on to something.
>>291039500War is hell kid.
>>291039660Whatever the manga needs them to be to torment usagi.
>>291040223This is like the opposite of yuri in a way.
>>291049486How is it the opposite of yuri? Explain.
>>291046157More proof the Sailor Moon manga was always intended to be yuri: Chibi-Usa. She was obviously designed without a father in mind and it’s almost as if Usagi asexually reproduced her like Queen Serenity before her, because she’s practically a clone of her mother with nothing of Mamoru in her.
>>291046157>>291050859Did you watch the anime as it was airing?
>>291039710>Some “people” will look at these panels and STILL try and claim Naoko was yuribaiting
>>291051855>Did you watch the anime as it was airing?Yes but this is the manga we’re talking about here.>>291051908>Some “people” will look at these panels and STILL try and claim Naoko was yuribaitingBisluts exist, and that’s what all the Senshi are meant to be in the manga aside from Haruka and Michiru who are just straight up lesbians.And that page is obviously just Minako overcompensating and faking it anyway considering she says THIS a couple of pages later >>291039735
>>291040152Yeah, it's fun so far.
>>291052516>YesLol dude you're like 45 getting angry about yuri in Sailor Moon? You're so OLD. Go home to your family. Isn't your wife waiting for you to put the kids to bed?
>>291053195>4534 actually, as old as the Sailor Moon franchise itself. When I say I was watching it as it was airing that obviously meant it’s American broadcast retard.
>>291041029BAVI
>>291039821Thanks for posting! The writing in this arc is really so good
>>291056614>The writing in this arc is really so goodIt’s the Proto-Madoka and first actual deconstruction of the genre after all.
>>291039680are boys measurements the same as girl's?

And that's it. Crazy amount of things are going down now.Do you die when you are killed?
>>291059853Bit late now, innit? Mamoru already got erased by Galaxia.>>291059916RIP hot crows>>291059962And RIP Mars and Venus. Damn.>>291060181Nyanko-chan a cute. But Usagi hasn't even introduced herself, saying her name just makes you sound suspicious.>>291060374Thanks, OP. Damn, I didn't remember this many people dying in one chapter.>Do you die when you are killed?Probably, but I'm in no rush to find out.
>>291060374Shit is going downI think so, but I can't say for sureThanks as always OP!
>>291059853Just how much sex do these two have???
>>291060194>>291060204>Don't trust trannieswow Nyanko what the hell
>>291059877Everyone's a Sailor nowadays
>>291059916>>291059962God damn. This must be what it feels like to be on the other side of Sailor Moon's vaporization attacks
>>291060289>>291060301Damn bro, everyone is just getting iced
Don't go, I still need to read today's chapter
>>291060954I'm kind of enjoying how active Galaxia is. Why sit back and send incremental fodder at the heroes when you can just one-shot them yourself when they don't expect it?
>>291062978Yeah, this manga has gotten a lot better once they had the more SOL chapters. I'm enjoying it
I am surprised you guys are liking the Stars arc so far. My impression was that people seem to count it among their least favorites more often than not, but maybe that's for the anime specifically.
>>291063838I seem to recall reading that for this particular arc the manga and the anime differ significantly. Is that true?
>>291063838No idea what the general thoughts are but I like it so far. Not a big fan of the 3 lights but Galaxia is cool. I hear people also don't like Chibi Usa but I do too.
I heard Madoka ripped off its entire premise from the Stars arc.
>>291064461>ripped offMadoka whole deal is desconstrucing magic girls so of course it would reference magic girls manga
>>291063944I'd say it's true for all arcs, but perhaps moreso for this one. Galaxia's backstory and motivation are changed, and since there's SoL filler, the Starlights are getting a lot of spotlight which many seemed to hate. But the thing is, I don't recall people talking about the manga version more fondly or anything. But really, we needn't care about the "consensus" or whatever at all. I for one liked this arc, but I am also heavily biased because I have the hots for Galaxia.
>>291064867>Madoka whole deal is desconstrucing magic girlsStars arc did it first though.
>>291066919so far it is pretty standard
>>291067014Those magical girls are looking pretty deconstructed to me >>291059962
>>291060374>Do you die when you are killed?I guess so.
>>291063838It's one of the best arcs in the anime if anything, since it's shorter and more plot-focused. The manga version is good too, the only real issue I can think of being Usagi's whining and denial.
>>291069270>one of the best arcs in the animeIt’s literally the worst, even SuperS is better.
>>291060374Thanks, anonsito.
>>291060374Possibly my favourite character design from the entire series.Thanks, OP.Don't be silly, of course not.
>>291063838When I watched the anime, I didn't particularly like Stars, but reading the manga now, I'm enjoying this arc more than its predecessors. Then again, it's been quite a while since I watched Sailor Moon, so maybe my taste has just changed.
>>291069676Nothing is worse than SuperS shunting the plot and outers and turning into a fillerfest for toddlers to the extent Stars had to re-adapt it to salvage what it could.
>>291070530>for toddlersThe whole anime is for toddlers but SuperS is technically the most sexually mature season ironically enough. Its theme is basically puberty and sexual awakening all wrapped up in the child friendly veneer of “dreams.” It’s the only season where the villains outright sexually assault their victims and use pick-up artist seduction tips in order to lure them into their trap. The whole “looking into one’s Dream Mirror” thing is an allegory for date rape and it’s pretty fucking explicit too what with how the victims are always screaming bloody murder while blushing at the same timesPegasus was originally supposed to serve as your prototypical groomer and it’s obvious Ikuhara was planning to do some kind of commentary on grooming with him until Toei corporate and Naoko interfered and forced him to reign it in (pun very much intended), still Pegasus was obviously the basis for what Ikuhara would later go on to do with Utena and Akio’s character, in fact the entire SuperS season and it’s theming (mixed with a bit of R for the incest aspect) could be viewed as a prototype version of Utena.SuperS also has the (dis?)honor of boasting the only 2 outright pedo episodes in the entire series where literal children no older than Chibiusa get lusted over and attacked (remember the “looking into one’s Dream Mirror” serving as a rape allegory?), it also has the most loli fanservice and sexualization of not only Chibiusa but even the Amazon Quartet who are supposed to be around only 11-12.Stars looks like the real kiddy shit when comparing it to SuperS, and honestly should’ve been the season we got localized in the old DIC dub while SuperS would’ve been the “lost season” that was left behind in Japan due to “too adult content,” but noooo genderbending bad and will turn the kids gay according to DIC’s retarded logic.
>>291070483Manga Stars is much better than its kiddified anime version.
Bump.
>>291067014>so far it is pretty standardYou’ll see later on.
>>291067983so what? this is like the 3rd time that they die
>>291059865seconds before the orgy
>>291060084usagi got brained
>>291060181holy cute!>>291060289>>291060301a shame the outers didnt get a chance to fight>>291060374Thanks OP! >>291063838the anime really butchered it. In between pacing the dead moon circus arc so badly that it ate up season 5 time and the lack of budget, just missed opportunities all around.>>291070967>Pegasus was originally supposed to serve as your prototypical groomer and it’s obvious Ikuhara was planning to do some kind of commentary on grooming with him until Toei corporate and Naoko interfered and forced him to reign it inwtf. kind of makes sense in hindsight but damn. The sexual assault stuff in the arc is really jarring though and makes me wonder why so many people insist on SuperS being the most childish
>>291079800>The sexual assault stuff in the arc is really jarring though and makes me wonder why so many people insist on SuperS being the most childishBecause they have the IQ of a child and is ultimately why they as grown-ass adults are even still watching Sailor Moon in the first place.

>>291039418Act 54: Stars 5
What's the difference between the Chibiusa in the 30th century and the Chibichibi in the current timeline?
>>291087143Well, that'd be a spoiler. Chibichibi isn't Chibiusa at all, not even her little sister or her daughter.
And that's it. I guess we did always know aliens existed so this all makes sense.Do you want to be a sailor guardian?
>>291087158Her whole ass is just out
>>291087158oh lord, give me strength to behold this majesty
>>291087920Thanks for the dump.Nah, too much of a hassle
>>291087228>chibi chibi crystal powerWhat's that even supposed to be?>>291087274They can do this at will now?>>291087595Genocide on a galactic scale.>>291087865Crazy bitch. I fucking love her.>>291087920Thanks, OP. No, that sounds like kind of a pain.
>>291087920I'd rather not thanks Thanks as always OP!
>>291087787seiya keks...
I'm a week or so too early but I have to complain about this Man, I really didn't like anime stars. No chibiusa, the soulful fansubs were replaced with boring flat ones that look the same for everyone, my main man tuxedo kamen gets fucking killed AND ntr'd, eternal sailor moon looks like shit, everyone is more retarded than usual, and I can't stand the three dykesA few episodes weren't so bad, the music was catchy, the background art was still beautiful and the final attack sailor moon gets (this shouldn't be a spoiler at this point) looks kinda coolThe manga has a more interesting story because things are very different from usual, and you'll see just how crazy it gets later, but that still doesn't excuse all the problems it inherits from being the sailor moon manga like the fucked up pacing, sense of time, bad art, very little downtime and character building (helped somewhat by the bonus chapters from earlier), and everyone being really really stupidI can't believe it but crystal really manages to be the best version of this arc>>291087920Thanks for the dump anon
>>291087920Thank you for posting.
>>291087708Why is every sailor named after their planet except for Mamo-chan?
>>291093478he's not a sailor
>>291093478You don't know about planet Tuxedo Mask?
>>291093478Because he isn’t a normal Senshi due to being a man.
>>291093734>>291095924Yeah but he's Earths guy. Why doesn't Earth have a sailor?
