I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

@Gwen Don't expect me rooting for Serena, cuz I have no clue why it's a popular anime both in the past and in the present.

I always found it weird how the guys who dubbed Sailor Moon changed their given names, but not their family names. "Usagi" -> "Serena" makes some sense. "Tsukino Usagi" -> "Serena Tsukino" makes a bit less sense.

@Gwen Well sorry if I'm not well versed with the Sailor scouts.

Yeah don't use the localized names, I know the fandom enough that it's a bit of a contentious topic. Or anything from the dub, for that matter. Well, aside from the lesbian cousins.

Huh, it's been awhile since I watched Sailor Moon. I might consider picking up that set.

"Seabrony"? Would that mean a brony who is also a pirate, or a merman?

@Wryte: Yeah, I know what you mean. I just think that they resolved it so quickly that it cheapened the impact of what happened without having as much influence on the overall plotline. As for Avatar, yeah, I've heard that it picks up, so I'm looking forward to it.

@ Mio: Viz media will start streaming the original anime on the 19th of this month on hulu and neon ally. They have the rights to the reboot too, but I don't know what they're doing with that.

[up]I take it it's subtitled only since I haven't heard anything about a redubbing.

They might be waiting to see how well the sub goes over to see if it's worth the trouble.

@Irish: I think the reasoning behind the name change was the keep the reference cultural. Japan has some stories about a rabbit in the moon that makes Rice Cakes I think, so Usagi, meaning rabbit, is a reference to that. But that doesn't translate to english where we both don't have that story and would not, on average, know what Usagi means. So they changed it to Serena, which sounds like Selene, which was the greek(Again, I think) word for the moon.

@Mio: It will be subtitled, but Viz has also announced they have been doing a redub that will be release on blu ray and DVD in the fall. All 200 episodes, all three movies and theatrical shorts, all uncut. On that note, I'm not sure if Viz will make the dub will be available online at any point

It honestly took the whole fandom by surprise.

[up][up]Yeah, just about all the characters had names like that. "Tsukino Usagi" literally means "rabbit of the moon", "Chiba Mamoru" is "to protect the earth", stuff like that. I just find it weird that they only went halfway with the localizations.

So... does that mean that Serena Tsukino means Moon of the Moon?

God dammit Moon Moon, that explains so much about her.

So I just finally finished Pinkie & Fluttershy: Discord's Inside Story. Dark Discord took forever to fight and I just gave up on him until I found a guide and got the last Pony Power item.
