Review of Sailor Moon

Sailor Moon (1992–1997)
Delightful Like A Beautiful Dream
8 January 2001
One day during a Solar Eclipse in Tokyo, the Dead Moon Circus has arrived, searching for the holder of Pegasus, the protector of beautiful dreams of people, so they can get a hold of the Golden Crystal to turn the world into pure darkness. Little does she know, young Rini - better known as the daughter of Neo-Queen Serenity - is the holder. Later, she and Pegasus form a strong bond and become the best of friends. Yet no one knows, especially Serena, Darien, and their friends. What Rini doesn't realize is that she is in grave danger, for the Dead Moon Circus leaders, Queen Helena and Zirconia, has sent out Tiger's Eye, Fish Eye, and Hawke's Eye - also known as the Amazon Trio - and the Amazoness Quartet - JunJun, ParaPara, CereCere, and VesVes - to search for the holder of Pegasus and the Golden Mirror. And it's up to the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask to protect the citizens of Tokyo from the Dead Moon Circus's evil plans.

Before I watched this, I lost in touch with watching Sailor Moon, because before I watched this, I had NO IDEA who Rini was until I read the comic books, learning that she was the daughter of Neo Queen Serenity, who is Sailor Moon's future self.

Yet I found this different than the old Sailor Moon I used to watch. It shows the more emotional side of each character, and highly shows the strong friction between Pegasus and Rini, and not to mention, Serena's jealousy if her boyfriend, Darien, is talking to another girl (kind of sounds like one of my friends! - ha ha!!!). I personally also think that the art work is A LOT better, and humour is even more witty and amusing!!! :)

But anyhow...what I found more interesting is that Sailor Moon Supers is more amusing than the regular series I used to know and love. And it features a few issues that can be seen through the eyes of an adult rather than a child.

Well of course, there are other features in Japan that aren't featured in America such as homosexuality. Take Fish Eye for an example. In America, Fish Eye is the only female of the Amazon Trio. However, according to one website that I was surfing, Miss Fish Eye is actually a homosexual male and a transvestite. Plus, you don't see Serena and Darien kissing a lot, but only in two episodes. Plus, in the comic books, you catch Serena and Darien kissing a lot, but also sharing their love together in bed if you know what I mean! On the other hand, these things are forbidden for Sailor Moon's more younger audience!!! :)

"Sailor Moon Supers" expresses a lot of touching emotions and episodes..and not to mention, it features lots of laughs that will keep Sailor Moon fans entertained!!! :)
