It makes sense. Hair buns are called "dango" in Japan colloquially, and dumpling didn't convey the right kind of food in English.

And dango aren't normally meatballs either. Bunhead gets as close as possible to the actual reference without referring to something else entirely. Serena will always be Meatball Head to me though!

I'm sure some of you have seen or read about this already, but here's the final product of the "Moon Animate Make-Up!" project. Read about it when it was announced, but I wasn't particularly amused by the idea.
The result is awesome. You should watch it! There are some golden frames in between, so make sure you pay attention.

Moon Animate Make-Up! is a crowd sourced, group animation project that will re-animate a whole episode of Sailor Moon shot-by-shot in each artist's style!

Oh, I had been waiting for quite a while for that! I didn't know that it finally released yesterday. Awesome. Gonna watch it in a bit. Thanks for posting!

So LOGO TV, a channel targeting the LGBT demographics, made a tournament about best homosexual characters in cartoons. Sailor Moon (for Haruka/Michiru) came in at 2nd place, losing only to Roger from American Dad.

That's actually really cool! Funny thing is, that channel is where I started watching Buffy on.

So due to Sailor Moon Crystal, I came to ask: Is the original series still worth watching? I remember watching a few episodes a year or so back and having to stop myself from cringing. It was really childish. Should I just stick to watching Crystal, or should I go back and watch the original show?

Also, if so... sub or dub?

What did you watch a year ago? If it was the old english dub it's no surprise it made you cringe, burn it with fire!
The old anime is still worth watching in my opinion although it is too long and drawn out but even the most fillerish episodes still have charming xjaracter moments and great visual humor. It also fleshed out the villains, the manga failed at making them more than cannon fodder.

Also, if so... sub or dub?

Depends on what's you native language, there are a few good dubs. Do not watch the english dub! It's one of the worst anime adaptations I've ever seen, awful cuts, awful dialog, awful music, added cgi scene transitions ... blergh.
If in doubt, watch it subbed.

Things gets a little bit meta as the Sailor Guardians visit an animation studio. Even the enemies in this episode are monsters who use Mercury and Mars attacks. Interesting mix of the transformation sequences and there's a neat insert song.

This episode guest stars Velma.

Story heavy episode in which another Dark Kingdom character is seen, the Sailor Guardians finds out a little bit more about Tuxedo Mask and Usagi gets drunk and
gets a kiss from Tuxedo Mask

Ah, the debut of Tuxedo Creeper.

Makes so much more sense in the manga. Though he's kind of even more of a creeper there :lol

This is really great, but I hope I'm not the only one who gained an appreciation for the OG dub. It had some pretty good writing for an all-out localization. They added quite a bit of charisma, when they could have just phoned it in.

Another good one for different reasons. I've no clue what to think about Chibi Chibi at this point although I do have some suspicions, Pluto was hilariously awkward in her presentaiton, and I was actually bothered at Siren's cleaning out Iron Mouse's desk. It's possibly due to how clinical it all was in that it was presented as a company employee lamenting the fate of an ex-coworker that had been fired.


Mend my broken heart, Sailor Lead Crow.

That's also the episode where Minako put you in the basket CHAMON.

But I think this is the scene you are referring to?

That'd be the one. I think I rewatched that bit more than a few times, just confused. I'd wondered where the basket gif had come from too as I couldn't recall the source when it was used against me in another thread.

1I reviewed SM R earlier this year like you are doing with Stars and I posted that GIF, and yeah I was confused by Mamoru's speech to the point I rewatched that scene like three times.

Also, that GIF is from the same episode.

Damnit, Nepherite, you were a complete piece of trash who wrapped a young teenager around your finger and even to the end you weren't being stright. So why is you going out like the punk that effecting.

You and your Ms. Minako moment...

Yeah, buying a series as it gets released always ends up much more expensive than holding out for collected sets.

Since it was Ayaka Komatsu's birthday (also Cordelia Chase's birthday) I decide to resume my PGSM watch and got to Mio's debut. Also, I finished up Saint Seiya and have more room to watch something, so I'll throw in Utena for Hitokage's sake.

I learned this the hard way with the manga when the Vol.1-6 was released shortly after Vol.8 came out >_<;

I recognized most of 'em! *cool*

Is there something I'm missing they all have in common? Alot of 'em are pink but Sailor Moon is so not pink. An I'm pretty sure neither Rabi~en~Rose nor Hikari qualify as magical girls so thats out. What gives?
