my response is too big for your question box. the french intro is actually like my favourite
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dcpyZZRh0Q hahaha. je peux parler francais, I actually watched some sailor moon episodes in french just off youtube and using the france google search when I was studying french and it actually really helped (mainly the first season though). and if you find any italian, can you pass them along? I’m trying to get my italian back into speaking quality (I understand it, but am terrible at speaking it) so I’d love to use that too :) — fallingthroughyourclouds
Oh yeah that is a pretty nice intro! I actually really like the Italian intro for the fifth season, it’s called Petali di Stelle. The Italian version of Sailor Moon has a different intro song for every season. And because I’m cool like that, I have them all on my iPod. Because for some reason the Italian theme songs are available on iTunes (even though the Japanese one isn’t… it’s pretty random). Yeah. And I may or may not know all the words to that song. Okay I definitely do. haha
Okay I will try that! I have come across a few Italian episodes on youtube, and it really helped me when I was reviewing before me Italian classes started up again. I’ve watched the first season finale and several Sailor Stars episodes in Italian. Generally I just type in “Sailor Moon [episode number] italiano” in youtube and hope it comes up. But they don’t always and sometimes the quality isn’t the greatest… so if anyone knows of a particular channel that has good quality or of another site for the Italian dub, let me know! For now, here is a link to one of my favourite episodes and hopefully you can use this as a starting point to find more: Episode 173.
I never thought to use the French google search to look for it! That would probably make it easier haha. The same could probably done for Italian, then.
(do you read and write Italian at all?)
And thank you very much <3

I love how some blogs have real tags like #actor #show #film and then there’s me who tags everything more along the lines of #FGHRTEWSDFGTRE #MY BABIES #OH GOD WHY
Yeah I used to be one of the people who had serious tags. And slowly degenerated into #I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH #LKJASLKDJLASK J SADLJ

So, I think we can agree that the woman who’s the root of one of the most famous anime and manga franchises ever has to be kind of amazing. Especially when you consider this series revitalized and changed an entire genre, since it was mainly responsible for the shift of magical girl stories to being more about fighting for justice, and combined magical girls with the sentai (Japanese superhero genre) in a way that had never been seen before. It’s reached nearly every country, and arguably broke a lot of barriers regarding how women were presented in anime. It inspired women all over and it inspired artists with it’s distinctive style and how the story incorporated themes of astronomy and mythology and fairy tales with the struggles of adolescence and superhero action, and turned a lot of fairy tale tropes on their heads, specifically the idea that a fairy tale princess has to be passive.
One can admire her as a creator, but what about as a person? Who Naoko is can only be communicated through what we know of her, from her liner notes and scant interviews. But what we do know of her seems to support that the wonderful themes she incorporates in her story are things she truly believes, and are reflected in her as a person.
First, Naoko is incredibly smart. She worked as a pharmacist before being a mangaka, and her manga tends to have a lot of people, predominantly women, in scientific and medical fields. Ami Mizuno aspires to be a doctor, as does Mamoru. Setsuna works at the science department of her university along with Reika and Himeko in the S side story is an competent and determined aspiring astronaut with a sharp scientific mind who eventually succeeds at her goal. There’s also a lot of accurate references to science and medicine, from the astronomy and geology to things like chemistry themed villians and so on. She incorporates other elements of her life into the story, such as her know-how about work as a miko, fashion and racing cars.
Naoko is also pretty clearly well versed in mythology, and incorporates a lot of myth in her story in a creative way. Delve deeply into all the mythology references of Sailor Moon and it can get surprisingly complex. The myth of Serenity and Endymion, the multiple reference to Greek and Roman myth in the persona and powers of the Senshi, using old English words- What I adore most is that she doesn’t play the mythology straight, but turns tropes on their heads and molds them to fit her own story. Women are often victimized and made powerless in ancient mythology, but Naoko tells a story where these women are active agents who weild the greatest power.For instance, in Naoko’s version, It is women weild the power of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune and Uranus, and they use it well. Serenity gets a second chance and unites to disparate kingdoms and Aphrodite, who was often painted as vindictive and jealous of other women because of possessive love, is instead embodied by a powerful warrior and leader who is driven by her love for other women.
