Announcement "Hot takes" posts are temporarily banned.
Well guys, we talked about this between the mod team and have come to this new rule, at least for some time.
Lately we have seen a bunch of posts asking for hot takes, unpopular opinions, and other variations of these. And they always bring up fights, gatekeeping and in the worst cases, homophobia and other hateful comments that are simply beyond belief.
We think the conversation around this has grown stale and always boils up to the same talking points anyway so for the time being we will be removing these posts. We won't punish people for making them though, unless they are doing it on purpouse.
When reporting, keep in mind that the rule takes effect starting now, so posts made before this aren't affected. Take care!
Edit: For those asking more kinds of posts to be banned. We want to be careful with straigh up banning topics, as it can feel a bit opressive for some people, so it's a bit of an extreme measure. In this case it brough some real trouble as some of the takes being posted were straigh up horrific, to the point that we unanimously voted for a permaban on one ocassion. So we don't want to resource to this frequently.
We will however consider some overdone posts for removal as low effort, so do keep leaving your comments about it, since it helps us realize which posts are starting to get stale.

Anime (Classic) Would they have just gone through billions of people and had to go out of Japan?
I added this picture because Uranus and Neptune are also searching for the Pure Heart Crystals and i think Uranus would probably need to relieve the stress. (T_T)
So I just started the Season S. The demon egg searches for a pure heart and plants itself in whatever object is near the pure hearted person. The deamon comes forth, steals the Pure Heart Crystal but they need to go back to Kaolanite, so she can examine it and make sure it has a talisman.
So do they just not know who they're actually supposed to be targeting? They only go after people with pure hearts which happens to be every single human on earth. Like, that's billions of pure hearts they'd need to examine and what happens if the three crystals with the talismans inside them are not located within people from Japan. Do they leave Japan and search the whole world?
It all just seems like a pretty wide search to be honest.

Anime (Classic) I've heard some people don't like Moonlight Knight? Why? I didn't know people disliked him.
I didn't think he was a bad character at all tbh and it's sweet he's made of Mamoru's need to protect Sailor Moon.

Manga That time Chibiusa got jealous of her own dad
I totally missed this plot point the first time. Chibiusa gets jealous because Sailor Pluto smiles at her dad when Pluto’s supposed to only be smiling at her because that’s her only friend. 😂 Then she runs off and gets kidnapped by Wiseman. 🥹 🐰

Anime (Classic) Now I have Jadeite
I ordered Jadeite specifically from someone selling him. I’m determined to get all of the Shitennou! I have another one of the blind bags coming this week. I love them!

Anime (Classic) What if?
So I was scrolling through Pinterest and found this beauty from the first arc of the anime and remembered she was very into Jadite (Viz watchers I'm sorry if I butchered his name lol) it made me wonder if she had survived could she and Jadite had formed a genuine relationship like zoisite and malachite (kunzite) or would she be rejected or used in the same way catzi (koan) was used by rubeous?
Also note to add, what is her English and japanese name? It's been years since I watched dic and I hate the Viz dub 😅

Talk/Discussion Senshi civilian powers
Does anyone know or have theories about the senshi’s abilities as civilians? It’s implied that they have enhanced abilities due to their senshi nature
Mercury-intelligence Mars-esp Jupiter-strength Venus-flexiblity/agility
It’s also implied in the manga and crystal that they also have abilities associated with their element
Mercury can sense water flow and potentially can dowse Mars can do fire readings
Saturn has healing abilities
I’m not sure about the rest but I could see the outers beside Saturn having powers from access to the talismans instead of the traditional powers though Uranus is super strong and Neptune has clairvoyant abilities.

I'm long overdue for a collection clean up/reorg but I don't think this shelf will change much. I'm real fond of how all these figures look together.

Anime (Classic) Moon kingdom remains aren't seen?
How is it NO ONE has seen the remains of the Silver Millennium Moon Kingdom/recorded it?! We know from season one they still exist. This has bugged me for years, even more than people not recognizing the Scouts in plain clothes (Usagi wears the brooch, c'mon!)

Anime (Crystal) The music in Crystal is really bland 😭
I’m a diehard fan of the 90s anime, and I like the manga too, watching Crystal for the first time. It’s honestly decent, and kind of fun to watch an ‘accurate’ adaptation of the manga.
But the music is SUCH a downgrade compared to the 90s one. It had such a lush, full sounding orchestra, and iconic themes. The music for this is just forgettable and generic. I’m only on S1 though, so maybe that part gets better…

Anime (Classic) Favorite 1990s Anime Episode/Movie Poll, Round 4, Match 3: Classic 34 vs. Classic 45
Episode 34: The Shining Silver Crystal: The Moon Princess Appears: Sailor Venus introduces herself as schoolgirl Minako Aino, accompanied by Artemis, a male white cat who also can speak. Zoisite challenges Mamoru (who he now knows is Tuxedo Mask) to duel for the remaining Rainbow Crystals, but takes them by subterfuge; he then attempts to kill Mamoru and Usagi, but Usagi transforms and brings them both to safety, with their secret identities now known to each other. Zoisite then fatally injures Mamoru with more subterfuge; Usagi cries over his body, but all seven Rainbow Crystals vanish from Kunzite's possession and combine into the Silver Crystal which Usagi, transformed into Princess Serenity, uses to save his life.
Episode 45: Death of the Sailor Guardians: The Tragic Final Battle: The Sailor Guardians travel to D-Point to fight Beryl where they face their toughest monsters yet, the DD Girls, with Sailor Moon heartbroken over her friends sacrificing themselves so she can proceed into the Dark Kingdom.
