I've been a closet Sailor Moon fan since I got hooked on it a few years ago when some station was showing it super-early in the morning right when I woke up. I had read a lot about Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon - a live-action version of the anime currently showing in Japan (and just about to finish the series), so I found some VCDs of the show on eBay and snatched them up (over 40 episodes!). I am totally thrilled to be watching this show for so many reasons! I like the Sailor Moon story (which is pretty interesting in spite of the ridiculous parts), I like hearing Japanese and figuring out phrases, I like the cheesy CG special effects (pretty much on par with the Power Rangers shows), I like the cool theme song, and I like watching cute Japanese girls (can't blame me for that!). On top of that, and here comes the weird part, I find the show strangely inspirational. The Sailor Scouts are always "doing their best" and fighting through tough circumstances, and I admire that attitude. I've had some busy weeks lately, and seeing a few episodes of this show has helped to lift my mood. Ganbarimasu!Labels: life, sailor moon, tokusatsu
