Sailor Moon

Dude, enough clip spamming, it gets really irritating after a while.

Excuse, but does anyone know who authorized the wholesale transplant of SailorMoon.Tropes Two's contents (the anime-only tropes of Sailor Moon) to Anime.Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon? I don't see a point in such a big move.

Isn't it basically just a rename that's easier to understand than the "page #2" it was before?

I'm really not a fan of splitting the anime specifics into subpages. The awesome page for example, has a badly-formatted link to the page. It'd be a lot less complicated if the contents were put back in the general SM subpages.

I'm normally not one to gripe about pages, but it largely seems unnecessary.

That doesn't really justify unilateral action. The Anime namespace is not simply for listing anime-only tropes; it's supposed to be a full-fledged TV Tropes article for the anime version of the work in question, something that the current article fails at. Compare Anime.Kantai Collection, which exists distinctly from VideoGame.Kantai Collection.

Oh, I see the problem you mean now: The name is separate from the rest of the franchise's pages that are missing the "Bishojo Senshi" part.

... Would you believe me if I said that I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out?

Which is kind of ridiculous, because (correct me if I'm wrong) but has always been an unofficial appended name for the franchise. The live action series means the same thing, and that is listed under just a translated title.

What do you mean unofficial? It's always been part of the franchise's name since the manga was released; it's just that the preceding parts were cut out for the localization for brevity's sake.

Ugh, and apparently whoever did this also transplanted all of the first anime tropes from the character pages to a whole new page as well... and it only contains entries for Rei, Makoto, and the Shitennou. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't report this to the staff.

Yeah, and copying raw url's as links is just bad form. This sounds like one or two people who just decided to do all this on their own. It just adds unnecessary separation.

Well, I've reported it to the staff, and the mass edits have been mostly reverted; I had to do some reversions myself, but these were just copy-pastes of the removed content.

I cleaned up all the removals I can find, although some post-fork edits will need to be redone.

Thank you very much for your efforts. We'll look through those affected pages for anything that remains to be done. (Seriously, don't we have a "Things You Shouldn't Do as a TV Tropes Contributor" guide somewhere that warns against unilateral mass-edits?)

Do Not Do This Cool Thing?

I'm just saddened that nobody's talking about how great Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's Queen Metallia was.

I notice in one epsiode of the 90s anime that Usagi's parents were Sleeping Single. I don't know if this is Japanese tradition, 90s anime censorship, or just a weird fluke.

They fight all the time offscreen.

When is this out again?

Also, here's hoping they get a bit more creative for this arc. The Black Moon arc was rather weak (due to following the manga too much ironically) though the first arc wasn't perfect either.

Well it does look pretty close to the manga, but yeah when does the first episode come on?

I saw April 4th!

But is anyone else watching Sailor Moon Sailor Stars on Hulu? I was thinking of sharing thoughts on this first official English release later.

I think it's only available with a subscription, so no.

I've never known Sailor Moon on Hulu to require a subscription, considering I've never had one! The dub does have that deal where episodes only go back online after the discs have been out for most of a year, but if you're okay with subtitles, you can watch all the way from the beginning, and the final episode should go up on April 11th, so it's not a bad time to start.

I'm told Hulu is U.S.-only though, so I would accept that as an excuse for a lot of people not watching it, although I feel that "Sailor Moon Canada" Twitter is having a hyperbolic reaction to that fact (and does not represent Sailor Moon in Canada in any official capacity). You should still be able to buy the discs or spoof your location information if you're desperate, so don't feel you have to keep crying "BETRAYAL!" forever!

"Get full access to Sailor Moon with a Hulu subscription," it tells me.

Or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place. What am I supposed to search for?

Oh. I think they're just being misleading. Did you try scrolling down and see any episode thumbnails to click on?
