Like, good grief, I was not expecting it to be that fluid. Tuxedo Mask riding a horse had no right to aura farm that hard.

Fine, I'll watch Sailor Moon.

EDIT: Okay, so I watched the first episode. Usagi is such a brat lol. Can't really blame her, I'd be wetting my pants if a talking cat shows up and tells me to go fight the forces of darkness. It's so different to my image of Sailor Moon as this dignified magical girl of justice, though I do like how she actually acts like a 14-year-old. Also, dang, Tuxedo Mask is kind of a jerk in his civillian persona lol. How one earth did these two get together?

I'm really excited to see where this goes.

Welcome to the Cult of the Moon. Or, as we call ourselves, Moonies. Lol!

She just like me fr fr.

In all seriousness yeah it was... interesting starting Sailor Moon in '98 after having grown up on Power Rangers throughout the Zordon era because, even cultural differences and DiC's edits aside, she felt so much more like a "real" person than, say, Kimberly or Trini.

So he's not normally that big of a dick in other iterations, it's just that the show and manga were being written at exactly the same time so there's a lot that hadn't been fully figured out yet.

And also one of the directors personally hated Tux. It'll be more apparent later on.

I'll warn you now- the show peaks with the third season (S) and almost as soon as the fourth season (SuperS) starts it really starts buckling under its own weight before fully and utterly imploding in the fifth (Sailor Stars)

Oh no that's because of something else entirely.

*drops glass* What?

No disrespect, just wasn't prepared for that.

Seriously, I'm still laughing like one of Joker's victims from Tim Burton's Batman flick.

My favorite part of Sailor Moon was when she goes 'it's mooning time!' and mooned all over her enemies.

Also, does Tuxedo Fraud actually do anything? He just shows up out of nowhere, throws a rose, says a few lines, then leaves.

I mean unless you want to be confused with the other, less pleasant cult.

Short answer: No.

Longer answer: Yes, but not in that series.

Slightly longer-er answer: But also mostly "no" overall- he's the Damsel in Distress Love Interest, Sailor Moon is the hero. Remember what I said about the show collapsing under its own weight later down the line? Yeah it's a not insignificant contributor.
