Noooo! I want to be Master Logos!

Ooh, interesting comparison. Never thought about this one! Well, mostly because I haven't connected Sailor Moon and Kamen Rider comparisons before.

Hahah! Have you seen those coats they sell? Man, I seriously considered buying the Buster one, and then I was like... what is wrong with me?!

I really love Sailor Moon, you know. Mostly the older stuff, but also the musicals. In fact, I love the musicals so much that really everything I do is filtered through the lens of their influence. I know they're not everyone's cup of tea, but because I like them so much they are my first basis of comparison now, like a second language, so it kind of made sense to play Reika in this way.

It'll be one day we'll be able to pay for those expensive P-Bandai merch! I wonder if they sell Kamijou's jacket, too...

Aye, it's all about the influence. And by a quick google search, it is interesting. I've only known Sailor Moon via the anime which I watched way way way way long ago when I was smol boy. Initially forcing myself to watch it after school so I can wait out the transformers show coming on after, eventually investing into it because "Ooh, pretty girl beat up the bad guy! That's awesome!"

But mostly, I never thought of the comparison with Rider because when it comes to comparing Rider to Magical Girls, my mind always default to either Madoka (because Urobutcher), or its Super Hero Time sister Precure. To which, I'm somehow gaining interest this year lmao

As long as they don't start selling that awful shiny suit he wears that looks like it was hired for a job interview!

Absolutely. Your story of watching Sailor Moon made me smile! It's weird because I started watching as another girl I knew had figures from it that her dad had brought in Chinatown, and I was just transfixed by the outfits. The whole style of it reminded me of watching Battle of the Planets when I was young, so I really went in big for the show.

I've only seen the first three PreCure shows and I liked them well enough, and there are enough photos of me standing next to cardboard cutouts of the characters in shopping centres to last a lifetime, but I've sort of fallen behind with following them. Same with Madoka, which I liked at the time, but I have always felt has attracted an awful lot of edgy kids, who I'm not always comfortable brushing shoulders with.

Gosh, I'd love to get to do my own magical girl series, I adore this genre so much.

Would you believe me if I said I already own a similar suit? All I need is the leather glove and shaving my hea- aaaand never mind!

Besides, the art style, seems like there's a commonality here!

Only piqued my interest with this year's show. The sole reason being "Oh hey, I got to draw one of them for once!"

And I can't deny Madoka definitely attracted such a crowd and may or may not have tainted views on Mahou Shoujo for a good while. I guess it's just something you'd have to take in regard while also enjoying it.

And it would definitely be interesting see how you would handle a Mahou Shojo!

I need to save you from yourself, clearly.

I certainly wouldn't want to diss it, because I remember thinking it was really clever. I'm just... I sometimes feel disappointed when people go in for deconstruction of a theme like this, as there is that element of the audience that acts as if it just invented the wheel. Like I want to respect their passion, but there's so much more the genre can offer that being taken apart.

I'm making a mental note that your commissions including magical girls though. :p

It's a show I hold dear, not cuz it's some deconstruction or some o mighty subversion of the genre, but it's more so the emotions that I caught myself making when watching it. Heh. Sure wish more see it that way instead of the deconstruction part.

Do you have a Master Logos reaction shot for all occasions?! Hahah. I get what you're saying about Madoka though—I have a few things like that where I feel people sort of zero in on this one big element, but they neglect the moving parts of what makes it work so well.

Like, ah, Evangelion, I guess?

I may have. Much like how I had a folder of Amatsu Gai reaction pics last year...

Also, shameless plug, but I only wanted to share since I know you're gonna like this and what this week's upcoming episode entails for your favorite Saber rider!

Rei, my man, you may be waiting some time for a response. She’s taking a break from the forum due to anger issues. She’s still posting at ff.net though.
