just a random question, did any of you ever watch Sailor Moon when you were younger? my cousin just bought the whole dvd set (she's not an anime geek :laugh:) but she likes it and i recall me and her watching it when we were younger.... some of my family members didnt like that i watched it with her cuz it was suppost to be a girl's show. Anyway that show just made me wanna be a girl even more haha
When I was younger? I watched an episode about a week ago haha :D
I watched it sporadically for about a year or two when I first started secondary school, over a decade ago.
And funny that should come up, since one of my secondary school teachers just told me today in an email that he remembers I used to like Sailor Moon...
However I wasn't really interested any more after a while, and when the last series Sailor Stars was being broadcast on TV, I didn't watch it at all.

i was obsessed. I wanted to be sailor saturn and i would dress up as her all the time.
My favorite show of all time when I was little.
Sailor Neptune and Uranus were my favorite :3
Watched... uh, hells yeah!
Me and a couple of my MTF friends were the Sailor Scouts for Halloween like 3 years ago. We needed 2 more to be Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus for a complete set. 8)
Every morning before school. Loved it.
Yesh, but I rarely got the chance to watch it until I learned about Youtube. Then I started to hate the English Dub. >.>
OMgosh yes! Those two talking cats Luna and Artemis were so fricking adorable! I wanted a kitten just like Luna. <3
That Darren guy and his alter ego tuxedo mask were kinda cute too lol. :D
The best thing about the whole show is how everyone looks exactly the same in their costumes, but everyone's like "OMG WHO COULD THAT BE?!"
EDIT: the same as in, to their normal outfit, not the same as each other. :P
I watch it now. In my network, each computer is named for a Sailor.
The same company (CLAMP) made another series I like, Card Captor Sakura. (Whatever you do, don't watch the English dub version!!!!!). I'd love to be Sakura.
My interest is entirely shoujo with only a couple of exceptions.
I watched Robotech.

I watched that too. It was the first show I ever saw when we got cable. As for Sailor Moon, I've mixed feelings about it. The dubbed version by DIC was just butchered to heck. But when I found them online and subtitled, I have enjoyed a few episodes from time to time. Of course that's the only way you will get to see the last series, Sailor Stars. That's where it got kind of neat because 5 Senshi come to earth and their disguise is a boy band. And their whole bodies became male.
Funny you should mention that. When I was younger, I watched Sailor Moon, Both in Japanese and English and the idea of being able to be sexy in those skimpy outfits, yet be strangely empowered forced me to alter my thinking of who I was... It was at that point that I told my mother I was a girl on the inside and that sailor moon was my idol... has, much to her chagrin, I was still allowed to watch it... as long as I watched 5 episodes of Power Rangers first. I am not a dojo head in martial arts for females in my area... hahaha take THAT mom!
I watched it abit it was okay not a favorite show I did find it more amusing in retrospect when I rewatched a few episodes she actually cannot read or write and when she reads signs she sounds them out like a 4 year old might... She's not abit dim She's functionally ILLITERATE.
What a role model for young kids eh?
I think the point of the show at the time was "Female Empowerment" not "Literacy amongst the youth" Otherwise we'd all be wearing mini skirts, hanging upside down by our legs trying to elongate them and shouting at every hideous creature that roams this earth that we shall "Punish them, in the name of the moon!"
I really liked Sailor Moon growing up, but couldn't watch it as often as things like Cardcaptor Sakura because it only aired here on a cable channel we didn't have. I did finally sit down last year and watch it all unsubbed for Japanese listening practice, though! :D
Ok, I wasn't young when this came out, but if I had to live in any animated universe, I would totally hang out with Coop. In fact, this show might just sum up everything about me.

Despite being a guy, I loved Sailor Moon. Well, I adored the 5th season with the Starlights. I wanted to be that kind of boy when I grew up. But, I was equally crazt about TMNT and Inspector Gadget...
I loved that show and still do but i love anime. Sailor moon was the first anime i watched =). Always wanted to have a close group of girlfriends like her!
i watched sailormoon all the time when i was young. my favorite probably would've been pluto, because i had an obsession with super long hair at the time.
Sailor Moon is my all time t.v. show. I loved watching Sailor Moon. My name is even a tribute to one of the Sailor Moon characters and I plan on having my name legally changed to it at the moment. I always liked Tuxedo Mask and Nepherite and cried at the episode "A Friend In Wolf's Clothing". I recorded that episode and played it so many times that the tape broke lol.
Looking back on it now I have to say in my personal opinion Sailor Moon doesn't deserve to be the Moon Princess. She was given waaaay too much credit and I felt that the other scouts were not given as much attention. If I could change the storyline then Ami would have been the leader and she and the inner senshi would search for the rulers over their kingdom which would be Haruka and Michiru since I'm a big fan of theirs. All the senshi would bow down to them.
Plus the scouts would all be Yuri pairings. Ami x Makoto Rei x Usagi Haruka x Michiru (of course!). I have no clue what to do with Minako. I guess pairing her up with Setsuna or just let her have Tuxedo Mask lol. I see Setsuna more focused on helping with Hotaru and staying to herself. Oh and Chibiusa would be erased from the show. No more Sailor Moon Super S
I watched a few episodes when I was much younger, but it was quickly thrown into the "Witchcraft and Satan" pile of things I shouldn't be viewing.
I remember that Tuxedo Mask was a hawtie, and that it was a very fun show.
Also, nice necromancy Mal. :P
I think I watched one episode once. I was like 4-5... so mainly I was pretty into Sesame Street and Blue's Clues around then :D
Then when I was 10ish... well, I guess Powerpuff Girls was my Sailor Moon :D
Uuuuhm, nope. I was never very regular with watching TV, especially as a child (I turned on the TV, and "Aw, it's not the show I like right now. I wonder why I never catch it?") so I never came to know it, because it was apparently broadcast at a time when I wasn't watching TV. I learned of its existence at school one day, but wasn't interested any more than that. I don't think I've ever watched any of it.
I was a fan of Cardcaptor Sakura, though, and I was sort of sad that I couldn't watch it all. Season changes, dizzy-minded child, confusing schedules~
I'm happy this post came up as one of my first memories as a child watching cartoons is of another japanese show called Ranma 1/2. This is a story of a guy who, after falling into a magical pond along with his father, becomes the victim of a curse. The curse causes a transformation of their bodies whenever they come in contact with hot water: his father becomes a panda bear ;D, and he (you guessed it) becomes a girl. A beautiful girl, I must say. This is one of my first memories of feeling like a girl that I can remember, and it took awhile to assume that I would never find that pond. I still wonder if the writer of the show did have those feelings too, if only supressed.
I used to watch Sailor Moon a bit as well, I suppose 15 years ago or so, but not that much.
It is fairly repetitive and it wasn't really my favourite.
However, I still remember many of the songs. I think I can still sing 15 or so Sailor Moon songs by heart :P

I have a special Sailor Moon playlist set up on my Youtube account with some of my favorite Sailor Moon tracks and instrumentals and I love to play them while I'm playing multiplayer on video games into my mic.
Sometimes I will sing to the songs (not in the mic lol) and notice I suck at singing.

If by necromancy you mean thread resurrection then thanks. :P
I know what you mean by the whole witchcraft and satan thing. My sister would use to knock Sailor Moon big time because she said "In the name of the Moon/{insert planet}" instead of "in the name of Jesus Christ" and she said it was demonic because of that and the magic involved with the planets. It didn't help my case either when I found out about Haruka and Michiru XD. It did make me sad and confused after a while but I got over it. It was one of the only things that made me happy.
I met my wife under the chat name of Saotome Ranma in an anime chat room. She chatted under the name, Eternal Sailor Moon. I was and still am a huge Ranma 1/2 fan.

But I have a Card Captor Sakura doll, A Motoko Kusanagi doll from Ghost In The Shell, and a lot of other anime toys including Sailor Moon's compact and her Henshin rod. ^_^

Hehe... couldn't resist singing one of the Sailor Moon songs just then! The last series' ending song :P One of those I like the best!

Much of my life has revolved around Sailor Moon when I think about it.
It has greatly influenced my drawing style and got me interested in studying animation.
(I began drawing people anime-style in high school 12 or 13 years ago, and I'm still trying to shake that habit.)
Also, me being a social outcast in my younger years, I was naturally drawn to the type of close-knit friendship among the Sailor Senshi. It was the kind of friendship I wish could have had growing up.
Honestly, one thing that helped me get through some tough times in life was being part of the community of a Sailor Moon fan website, which worked just as well for me.
I watched sailor moon when it showed on carton network . So then i started to buy some of the figures and posters and DVDs and to this day I keep looking for none bootleg DVDs of sailor moon. I'm a huge anime fan! I love to watch robotech but I just can't seem to have the time to watch it. lately I have put up sailor moon posters in my closet and it makes my feminine side come out. My favorite girl in sailor moon was sailor Jupiter.
I never stopped!
I remember loving that show growing up. I still find myself humming the theme song now and again.

Your parents didn't want you to be an intellectual genius who studied all of the time, got good grades, and knew how to take control of a situation when needed? LOL
that was ok they just wanted there son to stop crying all the time and being such a little girl. i dont remember it but apparently there was many conversations of what little boys should play with and how we should play. but i just didnt get it. but i did play with the GI JOes they said.

I watched that show a lot when I was in 7th grade. It was actually the first anime I saw. Well... if you don't count DBZ
oh, and

much?
Just a few episodes. Other cartoons that were more acceptable to my parents & friends were on afterwards every weekday. I always thought the outfits were a bit out there but looking back on the comic books and other cartoons I watched I'd have to go with "not so bad after all".
Did anyone else secretly fill in all the plot holes in the boy cartoons you watched? Like what do they talk about when there isn't a mission and what are their relationships really like? I mean its not like many of the GI Joes or Transformers ever really talked about their problems or even what they planned to do after the latest star scream/cobra commander blunder.
I watched it all the time when I was a kid. I was blonde and ditsy so I related well to the show. My mother never wanted me to watch it much, but she figured that I was a typical boy and wanted to watch them in their skimpy outfits, so she let me watch anyways.
