This is really taking me back to my childhood and my first introduction into anime. Personally for Sailor Moon, I love the manga better than the anime. It's so much more than the show.

So fun, I loved reading this but it ended on such a cliffhanger

I was honestly so surprised to find out that I didn’t really mind this art style. It’s probably because I’ve seen it so much all over the internet. I do have a few bones to pick with it, but they’re ignorable.

The story is a sci-fi/fantasy/contemporary mix with a hearty bit of fluff. I did enjoy the sci-fi and fantasy elements since they were done in a tasteful way. The (then) contemporary parts were humorous, reading this as a person who has a flat screen computer and a portable cell phone.

Anyways, the other thing that bugged me was Tuxedo Mask’s stalking. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this.

(I don’t really get that the masks cover the face enough to hide your identity. I get what they’re model off of but this artist’s representation of it is questionable.)

I’m so glad I’m finally reading these—SAILOR MOON has always brought me so much joy! I watched the dub as a kid, and rewatched the first season of the original recently, so as much as I love reading from the beginning, I’m really looking forward to the later installments.

Also my reviews won’t be too in-depth for these unless something comes up that I find particularly disturbing or awesome or interesting.

It can be very difficult to tell characters apart—they all have such pretty, similar faces, so you have to really look at context when the frames show facial close-ups. Also, Tuxedo Mask is such a hot cheerleader and I’m here for it.

This was just more nostalgia than anything else. Having watched the anime series growing up, there were parts that I recalled very clearly and parts that I didn't, and also some elements that I had not regarded so closely as I did now reading this.
