30 Days Relationship Challenge #24

There will be a new Sailor Moon anime next year: link! I'm really, really looking forward to it. From what I hear, it should follow the manga more closely and it should be more mature, not so silly. I'm all for it! SM was the first anime I fell hard for!

And that reminds me...


Michiru & Haruka, Sailor Moon

Haruka and Michiru are the only lesbian couple I've ever shipped HARD! [ETA: I completely forgot about Xena and Gabrielle!] I couldn't believe that the Americans turned them into cousins! Seriously? They were lesbian and lovers, the show made it VERY clear. And the Americans, in their usual need to "clean" stuff, basically added incest because everybody who knew anything about SM also knew about Haruka and Michiru's romantic relationship.

One of my favorite episodes was the one where Michiru died trying to save Haruka and Haruka then killed herself. It was even more beautiful because their deaths weren't permanent. But it was such an incredible - and very Japanese :P - proof of love!

These two always felt very... self-sufficient, like they lived in a world of their own. They usually didn't join the main five in their dumb adventures, they just lived for themselves... They were rarely seen apart, always standing next to each other, always protecting each other... Gosh, I want to see it again! \o/

I saw your post on the Latest page.

Be careful of rumours, because so far, that's all I've heard concerning the new series being anything like the manga, and now the still-unconfirmed rumours are running rampant as if they're fact (personally, I'm not a fan of the manga version, but that's just me.)

Hi there! I honestly don't care if it follows the manga or not because I haven't read the manga yet, I know only the anime, so I wouldn't mind if it didn't turn out to be true. I suspect that they will make some changes because to remake an anime with exactly the same story would be redundant. I'm mostly curious about what style they will choose, how much they will actually change :)

[haruka]

I guess they can't really go wrong as long as it's Sailormoon, can they? :)

[katikat]

I do hope that they will make it a bit more serious, not as silly. Some of the weapons and tactics the baddies used were... well... cringe-worthy.

I would miss all the great facial expressions on Usagi if there isn't some silliness, at least. :)

I don't think they could screw up Haruka and Michiru, so I'm not too worried about them, but I'll be disappointed if they pair the Shitennou up with the senshi. I love Kunzite and Zoisite together.
