The first time I read the Sailor Moon manga, it was for hours on end at my local borders with my high school friends.

Reading the reprint makes me feel nostalgic. Both for the time when my friends and I could all hang out like that and for the ideals that I built in my head from reading the stories.

The new translations, by the way, are much better than the old ones. In some places they word things a little weird ("bro" instead of "oniisan" for example), but overall, the translation feels a lot more faithful.

The art has been cleaned up too. The artist went back through the original art - updating portions of it, cleaning up panels, and adding embellishments. Comparing to a few old volumes of the original print I have, I would even say they printed everything at a higher level of quality too.

I feel like I should dig out my vcr and watch my old fansubs now.

Current Mood: nostalgic

I thought I had read this comic before, but clearly I hadn't because none of it was familiar at all. It's good I gave it a "second" chance then.

Sailor V was written before Sailor Moon. People liked it enough that her publishers asked her to re-make the comic but with a team of soldiers instead. So basically Sailor V is the proto Sailor Moon.

A lot of it has very similar themes to Sailor Moon and I think if V had not ended in favor of Moon, we would have seen many of the Moon characters in V eventually. One significant difference was that Sailor V has a lot more humor. I preferred that. I've always felt the Sailor Moon manga was too serious, which is why I favor the anime. The humor in V is about on par with the Sailor Moon anime.

It did start to get more serious and more like Sailor Moon at the end, when the series was wrapping up to lead into Sailor Moon. The ending was a little sad too.

Overall, for a Sailor Moon fan it's a good read. I imagine people who are not fans though would find it a bit silly and old school.

The sailor moon manga is being re-published in america in september! *squee* I will collect and read them all! I am so excited!

Last weekend for easter I colored eggs. Even though the dye was pretty awful, I think the eggs still came out pretty decent.

( Pretty eggs )

Afterwards, I gave noname her egg. It was an adventure for her!

( Noname and the egg )

And then the day after easter, I went to the store and bought a discount "The Dog" easter basket. I bought it cause I wanted the cute plushie, but noname had other plans.

( Noname and her puppy )

First off, Sailor Moon Wii Game rumor! I would buy a japanese wii just for that.

In other news, my sinuses may explode, sending my eyeballs flying into the monitor at record speeds. It's kinda painful. Since I no longer have a fever, I decided to go into work today. Now I'm just hoping I make it through the day.

I hope my sinuses clear up before my class tomorrow. The last thing I need to do is to drip snot all over the teacher.

Today is moving very very slowly. I need to not finish things so fast.

I also need to figure out how I'm getting home from work tomorrow. :( I guess it's the bus for me. Got to dig out the schedule.

I had grand plans to go to the halloween store tomorrow and buy super discounted wigs, and spirit gum, and a sailor moon costume. Then I can learn to style wigs without feeling bad if I destroy one. And I can make princess claire stick to my chest maybe. And um, well, I can't wear the sailor moon costume. It's for children. But I want it anyway! :P

Maybe I can walk. Without a car I shall be sad. I also wanted to go to the craft store and buy up halloween stuff. And the grocery store for cheap candy.

Stupid car ruining all my plans....

Current Mood: bored

I am doing nothing this halloween. It's terribly horribly upsetting.

Halloween is my favorite holiday. It combines all of my favorite things into one glorious holiday.

I'm going to waste it just sitting home, handing out candy.

I hate growing up.

Tonight though, I'm going to buy a pumpkin and carve it. I have the pattern set up and everything. It will be fantastically piratical. I'll have to take pictures of it when I finish.

( Last year I made these. )

Current Mood: disappointed

Cassandra and I finally finished Sailor Moon R! :) And we started S! Haruka and Michiru are SO COOL.

Now that we started a new season, Cassandra has no choice but to keep watching with me! Unfortunately, she goes back to school very very soon. That will be sad.

Driving home, some mean idiot behind me had their brights on. I was so blind. I'm surprised I made it home. But I did and it was happy. And warm.

My dog, as if to counter a conversation I had with ben today on how well behaved she is, decided to run off into the darkness when I took her on her bedtime walk. She refused to come when I called her. I ended up having to chase her down, grab her, and carry her back to the apartment to get her leash. Then she barked at every person we walked by. She was so bad! Arg!

Ok, typing is falling apart into insanely bad spelling land. I go read and then sleep now. *yawn*

Current Mood: sleepy

Gah, such hiccups! :P They make my ribs hurt. I must have very mighty lungs.

In other news, I had a billion post-apocolyptic dreams last night. It was odd. But at least they weren't really nightmares, so I got some much needed rest.

Tonight, Sailor Moon with cassandra while ben roleplays!

Current Mood: sore

I think I've found a better way to drive home. It is slower and has more turns, but significantly fewer lights. I think that this new way will greatly improve my mileage.

When I got home, ben and I went food shopping. I spent over $100 in food. I can't believe we eat that much! And I can't believe we were out of that much food.

At checkout, we were buying wine. I wasn't carded. *weeps* I am getting old. Ben tells me it's because we dropped over $100 worth of food and they won't give someone a hard time if they spend that much. I think I am just horribly old and ugly....

By the time we got home and ate dinner, it was horribly late. I was supposed to go to cassandra's for sailor moon, but it was late. I was afraid to call, in case people would be asleep. It is a bit dissapointing. I was wearing my sailor moon shirt today and everything.

I need to sleep now. The room is spinning.

Current Mood: tired

Yesterday I made vast amounts of muffins. However, they had fake blueberries in them, which makes me quite sad. All nasty and crunchy and artificial tasting. I shall keep that in mind next time I buy muffin mix.

After muffins, I went to cassandra's to watch Sailor Moon. We are almost done with R. Only five episodes left. I hope we can finish before cassandra runs far far away to college.

When I got home (much later than ben had expected), he seemed very down. Nothing I did could cheer him up. It got me all upset and I ended up crying and being all crazy because I wasn't a good enough girlfriend to make him happy. I then spent the evening crying until I went to sleep and had bad, stressful dreams.

Ben seemed a little better when I picked him up this morning, which in turn made me feel better. He went to the post office for me and mailed my health insurance out. I hope it gets there on time. The last one was late and they got angry at me. I really wish they had online bill-pay.

At work now. More stuff to do than lately this week, but still lot's of downtime. It makes me nervous when I am not working because I feel like I am not earning my keep. If I am not useful, what reason is there to keep me around? So I've been filing lots of stuff and fiddling with the printer in an effort to validate my existence.

Oh, and I'd like to mention that is has started to get COLD around here. People said the weather here is mild. This is not mild. This is cold. I want to go back to new orleans now.

Current Mood: bored

I've been flooding myself with Sailor Moon since last night. I've been alternating between the manga and the live action. I read the manga until I was all sad and lonely, and then watch an ep or two of PGSM to cheer myself up.

For the longest time, the anime has been my favorite. But now I think the manga is taking the top spot. Maybe it's because I'm older and understand it more. The manga is more sophisticated and the art is nicer. I still love the anime, but it's not as emotionally satisfying as the manga.

So yeah, I've finally reached the second "season" of the manga. I've always liked this season better in manga than anime. I think because chibi-usa is far less annoying on paper.

I also like Mamoru better in the manga. He comes off as such a dork in the anime! But I'm reading and it's so romantic and I sit in my room and sigh and miss ben.

Then I need some goofy PGSM to cheer up. I started over from the beginning, so it is amazingly goofy. I'm not sure I like how Usagi acts....She's a bit too goofy I think. But I know she gets better later, so it's all good.

And now, bunnies!
