How many of you have watched it? Any opinions? heart


Personally I loved it, but I felt as if the end was dragged out a bit. I've heard it be called "Power Rangers for Girls" before and I'd have to agree. (I liked Power Rangers as a kid though!) Believe it or not a lot of the costumes were reused between Sailor Moon and Super Sentai (which is where a lot of the CGI for Power Rangers comes from). I clashes rather horribly with anime/manga canon and I personally consider it to be a completely different storyline. However, Naoko Takeuchi worked DIRECTLY on it and even drew most of the costumes herself. (You can find them on wikimoon.org!) Since she had a direct influence on the making of the show a lot of fans feel that it's a completely legitamate series that deserves a watch. Though it definetly fits the "Sailor Moon" title and lives up to it rather well, it focuses a lot more on the girl's civilain problems and social deliemmas then any other adaption I've seen yet. If you can handle Soap Operas this won't be a problem but if you can't stand that stuff you just may want to leave this one alone. It's not as bad as Soap Operas can be, but it does have a bit of drama here and there. If you're expecting a page-by-page adaption this is NOT what you're looking for. In the beginning the storyline stays pretty close but branches off later and turns into it's own identity. If you're looking for Sailor Moon goodness with it's own twists and identity then this is for you! Even if you're not a live-action fan I would watch the first episode and give it a chance.

I've watched them too! heart It is cheesy from time to time but I feel like the NA Dub that I grew up with was much worse, so it's nothing that I can't handle.

Yeah, the story was a bit to swallow. Took some getting used to. I thought how they did Luna was really cute. A lot of the monsters were pretty horribly done, but then again, it was probably the best they could do. I did, however, love the transformations. And the acting wasn't all that bad either.

Yeah that's where the "Power Rangers" reference comes in. I honestly felt like the monsters were simply people in costume the whole time, but what are you gonna do? It's the best they had for that time.

A time or two, this show had me thinking about how succesful a modern Sailor Moon movie or series might pull off. Now, I think that in the hands of the right producer, anything is possible. I mean they successfully brought back something as retro as transformers, and no one thought they'd even attempt to do the Smurfs. I just can't help but think that not only would it be possible to make some awesome comeback, but that it could be very well done at the same time.

Revivals can be a very hard thing to pull off, there's been rumors about a live action movie for years but I don't see any foundation for it. It -should- be awesome....but Dragonball Evolution was -supposed- to be awesome too. mad

Yes I rather enjoyed them, their outfits alone were really well made. I think Kunzite's outfit was my favorite, and all four were handsome. I think they put Mamoru to shame. xp

I love Zoisite's character more in the Live Action then his real self in the manga/anime.

Nephrite. Best counter part they ever did. I wish he was like that in the Anime/Manga. The whole Nephy/Ami love thing was cute in the show.

Jadeite same as his anime/manga counterpart...Always kissing Beryl's a**.

Kunzite. BAD a** then all of the Tennous put to together. I love his sadistic side of him in the live action.

A lot of people appreciate PGSM characters because Naoko Takeuchi had DIRECT influence. I know when you're a mangaka working for a company they edit a lot of your material, so I wouldn't be surprised to find out that PGSM is closer to Takeuchi-Sensei's vision then the manga. By the time PGSM came out the name "Takeuchi" was big so I'm sure she was able to get away with more of her own ideas, I know she designed the costumes herself for one thing. The Shitennou's outfits are AMAZING in the show! I feel Jadeite was really the only one to keep his personality, the rest developed in character a lot more, and sometiemes very differently.

I got to the part when mercury turns evil and then I started getting too busy. I never finished it. Now I fear I'll never finish. I'm so busy with school right now that I never have time.

I will admit that later in the series kinda drags a bit, but I feel the end makes up for it. In all reality the series didn't last for very long, so I encourage you to finish watching if you can ever manage. heart
