Sailor Moon SuperS
Aug. 3rd, 2015 09:32 amOf the Sailor Moon stories, I like the first arc, R, and S the best. SuperS and Stars? Not as much.
I don't have anything against Chibi-Usa at all, but holy shit, this season should not have revolved around her. Because it got creepy. And I say this with all of the T&A that bothered me throughout the anime version of S (which keeps it behind R, probably my personal favorite in the first anime). I will never understand why Naoko Takeuchi thought Little Girl/Flying Unicorn was a good ship.
Furthermore, one thing that the first anime consistently did was spread the characterization and focus for all of the girls, fleshing them out when the manga focused entirely on Usagi, Mamoru, and Chibi-Usa, with the others really existing as an afterthought. Were there issues? Yes. Rei and Minako especially. But at least they got to do more. And Haruka and Hotaru were amazing in S, helping make up for the ridiculous T&A.
But these last two seasons are going to be much harder to get through, adding to them that I wasn't that thrilled about their arcs in the manga either. Seriously, I'm in this for the crystal powerups, which I liked. The rest? Kinda leave it.
