Description Let's see, bunch of primarily air-headed girls would occasionally change into figure-skating outfits and do combat with even worse dressed female creatures in a formulaic and predictable cycle... these girls for the most part had to be saved weekly by the ONLY man to appear consistantly in the series. You could call it sexist and offensive very easily, but then again the fights that mattered often required the fair haired Princess character to save the dashin Prince character... There's room to make what you want of it.
Somehow I never managed to hate it as I generally figured I should. It was my great secret shame in my teen years.
However long back ago it was when they started talking about how either we shouldn't consider Pluto a planet or we should increase our list of planets greatly, this idea kind of crept into my head. And now, long after, I've gone and made a gag picture of it.

Update:
August 2006 - And now the demotion is official. Heh, I see others have done pictures for the event. I wouldn't have done a follow-up picture anyway, when I labelled that picture of Endymion my finale fanart for Sailor Moon I meant it.

(August 2026)

Me: It's been 20 years since Pluto was demoted to dwarf status; when I check the news report today, it should stay that way.

(TV is turned on; a news report is on)

News anchor: After 20 years of being a dwarf planet, Pluto has been promoted back to being a planet; the International Astronomical Union voted unanimously to bring what is once again the ninth planet in our solar system out of its dwarf status.  Billions around the world celebrated the occasion by setting off fireworks displays that lasted nine minutes; Naoko Takeuchi, creator of the anime series Sailor Moon, will air a special 90-minute episode of the show that bears one of the main characters' names nine weeks from now.  A special issue of the manga publication Shonen Jump, made by Viz Media, will be on store shelves in physical form nine days from now; the issue will be free.

(TV is turned off)

Me: WHAT???

(Gate of Time)

Sailor Pluto: It's been 20 years since I lost my job; I sure wish I had it back.

(Queen Serenity walks over to Sailor Pluto)

Queen Serenity: Sailor Pluto, I have good news!

Sailor Pluto: What is it, Queen Serenity?  My job is forfeit, remember?

Queen Serenity: Not anymore; you have it back.

(Tokyo)

Amara: I can't believe that it's been 20 years since Trista disappeared without a trace, Michelle.

(A bright light fills the room)

Michelle: WHAT IS THAT???

(The light dissipates to form Trista)

Trista: Hey, girls.

Amara/Michelle: TRISTA!!!

(Back in the States)

Me: Welcome back, Pluto.

i would let the otaku senshi in... an army of senshi would be way better than being overwhelmed by the enemy even when they overpower them 9 to 1 and let sailor moon do all the work in the end.

I'm catching up after a long hiatus, but I did kind of want to say that this a decent point.


I think the general uselessness of the supporting cast was always my biggest problem with the show.

It could be a little rough and eye-roll-worthy at times, but there was some nice moments. Especially introducing the ultra-important Haruka/Michiru to the west! Fanfiction helps too.

I could be overly rough on it, I think it just stems from how embarrassed I always was about it. I think I'm mostly over that, but I still wouldn't want just anyone walking in if I ever do rewatch it...heh.

Yeah. That was some cringe-worthy dubs. And there is plenty of fluff. Kinda like Power Rangers with short skirts.

I suppose that Pluto solved the problem by blasting those Otaku into oblivion...

Yeah, I know what a Mary Sue is. As for comments, my pictures just never earn a lot of them.

I *love* the Sedna sign! I wish my Sailor Astera was in that line. Good job.

I have no shame that I am 22 and obsessed with Sailor Moon. ^__^

EricMHE In reply to SarahForde [2006-08-31 04:23:27 +0000 UTC]

The actual original plan was to have a TON of would-be senshi fighting over all sorts of signs, Charon, various asteroids, etc. I got lazy though unsurprisingly...

Very funny concept, I like it!
"It was my great secret shame in my teen years." <--- Does anyone NOT hide the fact that they watch Sailor Moon? I know I did
