That's what Excel Saga is for...
I just got volume 1 of Excel Saga but haven't watched it yet... sounds like it's going to be my kind of anime.

I just watched disc 4. To put it mildly, it is fucked up.

I'd beg to differ, personally.

I like the box's rather simple elegance. It kind of gives it an air of sophistication.

Plus you gotta love that image of Usagi on the side.

The only shoujo anime I would honestly admit to buying (if it were available) would be Kodomo no Omocha.

I like Maison Ikkoku (both Manga and Anime).

So enjoy your Sailor Moon...can't be that bad.

From Another Website wrote:As well in the past when the Dark Kingdom was attacking the Moon Kingdom, Prince Endymion was killed. Upon seeing this, Princess Serenity committed suicide. After this, Queen Serenity repelled Beryl's forces and sent them to Earth by activating the Silver Crystal but could not completely destroy them because of the shock from her daughter's death.

When the Senshi go to the Moon, they find a sword on the ground. Sailor Venus takes the sword. Later Sailor Venus actually uses the sword to kill Queen Beryl! Thus making Queen Metallia the major enemy. Sailor Moon uses the sword to kill Evil Prince Endymion then, she commits suicide. The Senshi give up their lives to awaken Sailor Moon then, Sailor Moon Kills Metallia, using the ginzuishou, which blossoms into a flower shape, and is used with the Moon Stick.

Hmm, I'd consider CCS... Not the American one shown on WB, they really castrated that. Took out whatever plot there was...

As long as we're plugging our favorite shoujo anime, Fruits Basket has unrivalled kawaiiness.

Adding onto this: the three heroines find out that their objective is to kill perhaps one of the kindest persons in Cephiro to save that land ... after the fact.

Well, I'm also a fairly big fan of the shoujo genre itself. And this includes a series which is on a lot of mainstream Western anime fans' automatic hate lists...

Basically, I like Sailor Moon.

Now, I know a lot of you are probably wondering if I've gone insane or such, but I honestly enjoy it, and watched the SuperS season fairly regularly when it was on Cartoon Network.

The show's reputation is usually hampered by the atrocious qualities of the two bastardised dubbed versions by DiC (Season 1, R) and Optimum (S, SuperS), with poor casts and scripts, edits, and deletions.

That's why I'm looking very forward to this:

Uncut Sailor Moon Season One Box Set (Subtitles only).

Close up picture of box

Pure bliss in a box.

that odd friend of mine - the one with the hentai found on his computer - had the sailor moon song on a cd, between rob zombie songs.

I was disconcerted when I found that out. . .

This is Magic Knight Rayearth?

Dude, ain't nothing wrong with liking shojo! Hell, when I saw Sailor Moon subbed (which EASILY owned the dub,) I actually liked it! Escaflowne, Utena, and Fushigi Yuugi (as you can see in my avatar)....gotta love 'em.

consequences · Post by **consequences** » 2003-06-04 09:32pm

oh yeah, Rayearth gets horribly wrong when it comes to morality.

Darth Yoshi · Post by **Darth Yoshi** » 2003-06-04 10:01pm

Ah yes. I remember MKR. The first part had a rather...drab ending.

The box is rather plain, but it looks good.

You mean nude prepubescent girls twirling around?

No, they didn't look sexy at all, just pretty and cute

It was smoothly animated with tons of detail~ that's what caught my attention

Yeah, they tend to put a lot of detail into stock animation, but I wished they had some more variety episode to episode. Once of the nice things about the SMS movie was that they had attack scenes without using the standard stock animation.

Damn it. I want the MKR S1 and SM S1 boxed sets now, but they're expensive.

Hey now, Escaflowne isn't exactly shoujo. Just like it isn't exactly shounen. It's a weird combination.
