Why do fans think a Dragon ball super Equivalent of sailor moon a good idea? I keep hearing sailor moon fans say they rather have a sequel than a reboot. Do they think people want to see the sailor scouts as moms in theirs 30s to 40s?

-It's entire humor is derived from the same stupid "embarassing situations" like if you stuck all anime in a blender and squeezed it out
I dropped it in the first episode when the two leads are carrying a fullsized bookshelf, trip, and somehow end up on top of each other without either one getting crushed by the massive item they were carrying.

To be clear: it's not like I hate shows that are targeted at young women and deal with issues they may experience, I've enjoyed anime meant for little girls in the past.

Feel the same way, but it's probably because I was more exposed to SM than CCS. The opening themes are catchy though.

It all depends on you, but SM is slightly different on handling things than CCS.
>I have no issue with yuri as long as it doesn't become the main focus of the show.
Oirginal SM just has a couple of faggy moments, and a couple of yuri overtones once Uranus and Neptune appear. Crystal however goes slightly overboard with the yuri.

Had I known beforehand that it was basically a CGDCT show but with superpowers I would have seen this long ago. I also enjoy the episodic "monster of the week" style of storytelling the show seems to have so far.
The visuals aesthetic of the show is also great. It's no suprise that clips from the show are often used in vaporwave videos because this feels exactly like watching a vaporwave anime.

I rewatched the 4kids dub only a few years ago. It's surprisingly good. With Pokemon they didn't fuck over the original premise like they did with Shaman King and other stuff.

Agreed. The artwork and designs are pretty rad, and you got to thank Ikuko Ito for that. Her other works like Princess Tutu is pretty good too.

Watch the thing on subs. Though to be honest, the 4kids/DiC dub was alright in a cheesy way. Downside is that Usagi's VA keeps changing, and while the first one sounded alright, the last two sounded like shit especially the last one which made her sound like an old hag.

I absolutely loved Tutu but I had never heard of her name before. I see she worked on Ikoku Meiro no Croisée as well which is one of my favourite SOLs.
I naturally despise English dubs but in Sailor Moon I especially don't like its existence because Usagi's Japanese voice is perfect and I couldn't see anyone voice her better. Even without seeing the dub I already have a very strong feeling that they chose some Texan lady in her 40s to do it like they normally do with female characters which would not capture the youthfulness and cuteness of her character. Western women sound too masculine to properly voice anime girls.

It's very comfy, it was a lot of fun seeing a show set in that time period and place, especially for a history buff like me. We need more 19th century SOL's. Sadly, there won't ever be a second season due to the author of the original manga having passed away and her kind of going insane before her death and starting some sort of cult.
>Same, but in some rare instances I'll give them credit if they did a good job

A completely different anime, but have you seen Drifters? I loved that show, because all the characters are historical figures who suffer character development upon their real-world deaths before getting reincarnated into a fantasy world. For instance, super early in the series, Oda Nobunaga tells the MC he doesn't want to rule the new world they're in because He thought the ambush he died in might have been an ambush by his son, and anyone who's that much of a jaded asshole doesn't deserve to be ruler. Too bad so many of the characters are super obscure nihonjin fuckers.

I had heard of it and kind of liked the concept but I feared that like most modern anime, it would not excecute its concept very well and would just remain something that has a cool gimmick and nothing more.
If you also like history-related shows, I would recommend Hyouge Mono. It has one of the most realistic depictions of Feudal Japan I have ever seen in anime.

Damn, that's brutal. Especially the whole starting a cult thing since I thought those kind of problems were just a thing in the past for Japan.

Yes, I'm trying to find out where I read it exactly but her creation of this cultlike group was what lead to the hiatus of the manga back in 2011. I remember reading that she regarded herself as a sort of human manifestation of a Shinto godess, it was really weird, she also owned a private piece of land where she lived with her "followers".

I'm at around the half of the first season now. I was pretty close to dropping it, I liked the premise of the show but the animation was not that good and I was getting a bit bored with it. That was until they started hinting at some sort of backstory between Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon and I noticed some obvious similarities between this story and the story of the prince in Utena which I found interesting, especially since this show also seems to have a thing going on with a magical castle. It looks a bit like the Taj Mahal so I was kind of hoping that they'll have some sort of Hindu theme going on regarding their gods just like in Utena with Anthy and Akio but that might be asking for too much.
I know that Ikuhara directed later seasons but does this show ever get close to feeling like a "true" Ikuhara-styled show with surreal imagery and such?

So, I'm nearing the end of the first season (yeah, I know, I took my time) and I was just wondering which of the sequels are worth watching, if any of them are in the first place. I've read lots of people say negative things about the latter seasons online and I myself don't feel like watching any more if the sequels don't have the same spirit as the first season.
After looking up online, I found out that the episodes that I enjoyed the most were all filler and the canon ones were a borefest so I guess the people who worked on this did a pretty good job at making the adaption interesting for people who would have hated the manga.
