My Journey Watching All of Sailor Moon
8Hello everyone! To celebrate the end of the year arriving upon us, I decided I would dedicate an entire review on one of the highlights of the year... the time I decided to sit down and watch through the entirety of the classic Sailor Moon series for a whole two months. Yeah, no Crystal. Not yet anyway, maybe next year, but I wanted to give the original series a try first.
Ah, Sailor Moon. One of the most beloved animes ever about a group of superheroines dressed in sailor outfits and named after the planets of the solar system who go facing evil and even world-ending events. All of this starts because Luna gave Usagi a broach that lets her transform into the titular Sailor Moon. But of course, there's more than that. There is also Usagi and her friends learning more about each other and how they came to be the Sailor Guardians and more. Deep stuff. Indeed, it's got quite a bunch of deep stuff in it, romance, humor, emotion, friendship, redemption, twists and turns at every end, and of course punishments in the name of the moon. Throughout a good amount of months, I've been taking a look at Usagi's journey from start to end. And it was indeed a lengthy journey, as in 200 episodes, 3 movies, and 5 shorts lengthy. But you know what, it was worth it because I think I became a Moonie. Might sound like a spoiler, but I loved this series. Well, you might wanna give this a look to see how I feel about it!
For the entirety of this review, I looked at the Viz dub of Sailor Moon because that dub is the more accurate and uncut English dub compared to Optimum Productions' dub. Yes, that also includes the filler. As a result, I'm going to refer to everyone with their Japanese names, and I'll be covering things Optimum didn't. For anyone disappointed that I don't call Usagi Serena, sorry, but I'm not a fan of deadnaming... or censorship. I like their theme song, though.
