Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (2003)

Sailor Moon was my first anime so I definitely had to watch this live action. It's very cool. Love the storyline and the music. The graphics are just awesome. The monsters weren't done with 3d graphics to be more authentic, real. It was definitely a good choice. The actors/actresses are not professionals but didn't have to be :D They created the feeling that this drama is for children and also teenagers who love Sailor Moon. (actually I'm already 22 but love to watch the episodes over and over again).
So if you're a Sailor Moon fan you must watch this! Age is doesn't matter! :D

Wow. I must say this is a really good series and at first i thought it was going to be kinda cheesy because of how the monsters turned out to be and stuff and with how they made the sailor scouts into karaoke and whatever. But after watching all of the episodes(including the specials), I was hooked.



I must say this is definitely better than the anime and a little better than the manga. For instance, Usagi is much more serious and not such a wimp or a crybaby like the way the anime portrayed her to be. Ami is actually more fun and not into studyin g so much, Raye is more kinder and less harsh and not boy crazy, makoto is even cooler, and minako is definitely more focused than the way the anime portrayed her.



This is a really good series that is worth watching, especially if your a fan of the anime or manga or a fan of both like i am. You won't be disappointed. You will even love the ending. Watch it if you have a chance.

If you haven't watched the anime and have never heard of sailor moon you will probably be like WTH when watching this...but like most, I watched this as a kid and was excited to see the live action.



The story was just really fun. I laughed a lot and even shed a tear close to the end. Each ep is fresh because it has its own storyline while keeping the big picture in mind.



The acting wasn't spectacular but I think the girls did a pretty good job in thier roles. They kept the spirit of the sailor girls in tact!



The music was pretty catchy but the only thing I didn't like is the actual singing. Thier voices are horrendous LOL.



I'll rewatch this but a long time from now.



Overall, they did a pretty good job of capturing the greatness that is sailor moon. It was nice to relive my childhood=D

My FIRST J-Drama

Back when I didn't understand what Asian dramas were, this would have to have been my very first drama that started it all.

I was (and still am) a huge Sailor Moon fan growing up and I LOVED the anime. But then I saw this on YouTube one day and watched it and remember loving it. I remember wanting to sing a lot of the songs and well, I just enjoyed this live-action A LOT!

But as I grew up, I understand that this was considered an Asian drama and I can say that THIS was my drama that started it all. My love for Asian drama, of course, didn't officially start until 2013. Thank you, DramaFever.

So, this really isn't a review but more of how much I loved this drama growing up, to this day, I still enjoy it.

Cult state is love!

While Toei lost whole ability to produce anything but long-running cheap shows...

...Bandai did almost the thing Toei could do right now.
Why to love good old anime? Because it talked with us like it could to adults. It used themes of love, destiny, lust, angst, everything kiddie shows simply can't. As well as this one. Fanservice aside, this sentai show is nothing near dramatism of BSSM but that is why it's good. Actually, it gives a piece of serenity in a world of tragedies and bad news. And it gives childish-in-a-good-way touch. It's beautiful in it's own way. Like a living toy.
I dream of new season of this, with same cast, but all those themes drama missed. Japanese dramas are known for detective stories. Imagine those characters grown-up, investigating murders crimes and conspiracies. Free from fantasy, but not from love...
