I've heard the Animetal Lady one before, but no, I don't have it in there. It's cool, but maybe a little overdone for my tastes. Never heard the other one before. Kinda cool. I never heard the other songs in there before, though.
I only have the original Moonlight Densetsu in my playlist.
I have the opening and ending versions of the English theme, along with S.A.F. Remix and the S.A.F. Club Remix.
Stevie Wonder is awesome.
I think I might be more of a TV guy. TV shows give me more to watch. Hah.
Video games > TV shows > Movies for me, I guess.
Oh, yeah, I just found out that the college radio station that a friend of mine works at has a show called "Crystal Tokyo" that's just for anime songs. It's on Sundays at 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM Eastern Time.
Stevie Wonder is the greatest, my cousin is actually named after his daughter too.
Film is definitely my favourite medium, it's also my major. I actually tried to make a Sailor Moon, and the plot ended up being nothing related to the series haha.
So a friend of mine might be going to that convention I mentioned earlier with Mamoru, Beryl/Luna, and Hawkeye's Voice Actors. I told him to have Furuya sign my Dragon Ball volume. In particular, the part of Yamcha's fight with The Invisible Man where Bulma's boobs are shown, because he voices Yamcha.

Just watched last year's La Reconquista musical. Pretty good rendition of the Dark Kingdom story with some fun character bits and gorgeous costuming.
B-but Minako, you were really into the hero of Aurora♥Wedding. Or does it not count because he reminded you of the editor and Ace?

That reminds me, still gotta finish Sailor V. Pretty sure I only had like a chapter or two left.
Poor Minako. In the anime adaptation, we learn that during her Sailor V days her boyfriend was swept away by the local cop who was also Minako's best friend. Pretty sure Usagi was even considering killing the cop, too.

Angel has Fred!
I really like the PGSM songs, for some reason I remember them more than the anime songs (but the anime had a more memorable score), I liked Sakura Fubuki and Friend the most, Friend was kinda cheesy but it sounded so happy, I thought it was perfect for the final scene, I think that was the only time in the series we saw all five senshi together being happy and laughing.
Angel has Fred!
Who? I do like me some Cordelia though.
Sakura Fubuki is fun too, it's funny how she mentions there is no God. That wouldn't fly so well if that aired on TV here.
Watching the episode in R where Rei's grandad opens a wrestling gym and gets targeted. Damn Rei took a beating there.
Cordelia is one of my favourite Buffy/Angel characters and that's primarily because of the development she gets on Angel.Who? I do like me some Cordelia though.
Fred is introduced at the end of season 2, like Willow she's very smart, the brains of the team. There are also obvious differences but I don't want to go into too much detail, I'd still call Fred Angel's Willow though.

Isn't that...exactly what I posted last page...but on a different site? The pictures and text look identical. Hah.
Also, yeah, Fred is awesome.
Also, yeah, Fred is awesome.
That's awesome but I totally disagree with Glory/Starlights even after reading the reasoning, the Starlights were the exact same people in their male and female forms, the male forms were just used as a disguise. Ben was Glory's prison and until the last few days of his life he was a completely independent person.
Glory was pretty cool but I don't remember her actually doing much.
Mayor is best villain, dude just cracks me up everytime.
For Sailor Moon, Fisheye was most enjoyable villian. His character arc of trying to obtain his dream was a highlight of SuperS. Zoisite is a fun bastard too, even if he is pretty generic for a villain. I love how the "Four Devas" (never going to get used to that term) and Queen Beryl were handled in the live-action.

Heh, I like Rei's the best.
Also, where are these from?
and finally, more pics from the PGSM reunion.
Good.
lol.
So what does everyone think of Sailor Moon R in the anime anyway? A lot of people don't seem to like it, mostly due to Chibiusa and the break-up. Chibiusa definitely annoyed me at first, but now I'm adjusted to her presence and don't mind her. The break-up annoyed me as well at first, but I kind of like it now as it helps make Mamoru more conflicted. Could have done with better execution.

Outside of Chibi-usa, I like R a lot. Especially since it introduced based Pluto.

Did Rina Koike not make it? I dont see her...
Same here. I also personally liked the Hell Tree arc, especially since the Senshi used new-ish attacks. Supreme Thunder Dragon was so badass.
I think the concept of the breakup itself was pretty silly, but the actual handling of it in episode 61 was wonderful and I can understand how it was meant to keep the show from being Usagi x Mamoru 24/7. The credit and blame both go to Ikuhara.

Kotaete Moon Call
It was an interactive VHS game. You used some phone-shaped controller thing that connected to a VCR to somehow interact with it. I think I watched parts of it years ago.
Here's a commercial for it.

Ah, thanks. Never had seen that before.
So I'm finishing up Neon Genesis Evangelion now, alongside my Pokemon Netflix rewatch. So I'm gonna start my Sailor Moon R watch, while catching up on the Precure that Hitokage recommended. I gotta admit though, the art-style is a bit off a turn for me in the later.

Precure is Pretty Cure. Japan loves shorthand.
He's referring to Happiness Charge Precure, the current series in the iterative franchise.
Technology.
I actually don't believe the term "Pretty Cure" ever appears in the Japanese version. It's always just been "Precure".
Maybe taking after "Pretear".
Edit: Oh, I see. In the first series logo. Even so, I don't remember it ever being said in the actual show.
Not forced, but it was Takeuchi's editor's idea to have her show up. Of course, it should be stated that heavy editor involvement is the norm in manga not the exception.
She did a good job replacing Usagi for those episodes. I also know Kae Araki from her role as Hikaru in Digimon Adventure. Apparently she voiced Sabrina in Pokemon? Now I want to see that.
Time to work on some course work, but if I get anymore time today I'll start that Precure series you mentioned. Probably just post my thoughts in this thread.

He knew in advance that Sorcerers/Mystic Knights would own in FFV.
You know YYH's author married Naoko Takeuchi, right?
Watched up to 50 on my R watch and I noticed Sailor Jupiter took out a MOTW by herself! Usually when the Inners get to beat the MOTW they still let Sailor Moon finish them off. Not that I have any complaints with that, but just something I noticed.
Starting Precure...right now!

A few people told me to check out PreCure a few weeks ago. They recommended the original PreCure, Max Heart PreCure, and Heart Catch PreCure.
I haven't watched any yet. Maybe I'll get around that soon. I haven't watched any anime besides Sailor Moon and Kill la Kill recently. I was going to start watching Urasei Yatsura again, but I haven't gotten around to that yet...and instead, I watched Jem and the Holograms on Netflix. Hah. It's not anime, but it was animated by Toei, if that counts for anything.

Whoever told you to watch this is either not your friend, or unaware of what he or she is asking and is just going on plot continuity.

Haha. Maybe...but I might still check it out, anyway, if I end up liking the other one. I'm known for liking things that aren't well liked.
Well, if you say so. It's just that Max Heart stripped out everything that was enjoyable about the first series and was quite literally one of the worst shows I've ever seen.
What I wrote about it at the time:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=37021369&postcount=17924
Hito's post undersells just how abysmal Max Heart is. Without hyperbole, it is easily one of the most tremendously execrable pieces of entertainment that I have consumed in my life across any medium; a hasty cash-in sequel to Futari wa that blends its own characters into a tasteless gray paste squeezed into the same soulless inflexible episodic mold forty-seven times, usurped by a new and completely hollow and unsympathetic shrinking violet character who completely wrecks the existing character dynamics and dominates the narrative while exhibiting no discernible personal qualities whatsoever, written by five-year-olds and animated by North Koreans. It's an affront to anyone who has even the slightest warmth and affection for the first season and its characters.
Futari wa is a fine place to start, but please don't subject yourself to the Max Heart grinder, ever. Take it from someone who marathoned the whole thing and has the scars to prove it.

Just got done watching the first episode of Happiness Charge Precure! and enjoyed it. The main protagonist definitely reminds me of Usagi Tsukino and I even read the subtitle saying Aino Megumi as Aino Minako for a second. Oh, and Queen Mirage is a pretty cool name too!
The guy with the top hat and cane, who voices him? He sounds rather familiar.

The show is a nice blend of signature Precure stuff while also incorporating elements of Sailor Moon, Minky Momo, and Himitsu no Akko-chan.

Looks like I remember the voice from Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie's Zangief.
Just got done watching Episode 51 in my rewatch and Rei is wearing that silly-looking outfit again. Also:
