I think sailor moon was a monthly chapter realse manga. So instead of bi weekly each chapter came out each month

Sorry, but I didn't care for Sailor Naked in the last episode. There was simply no excuse for that, especially since she was barely 16. That is just gross.

Deviating from the manga was a good decision on their part. It ended up both more enjoyable and more accessible and better for a weekly serial.

I hate to tell you this, but when was the last time you watched the original Sailor Moon anime? I ask because it hasn't aged that well. It also doesn't help that the audio sounds like it came out of a garbage can these days.

It wasn't sexualised in any way and changed nothing about the story.

Yesterday actually Just finished re-watching episodes 1-8.

The anime has aged incredibly well, I have absolutely no idea what your coming from besides giving up the actual discussion and trying to make a case through nitpicks.

In Japan, being naked isn't sexual. It represents purity and innocence.
So that "Sailor Naked" thing is justified.

[losondro]

In the end it's always Japan's positive outlook on nakedness vs western's negativity about nakedness.

I kind of prefer the former... not so much the latter.

Okay, I kinda feel that sooner or later, I'll have to post my list of actors that were in Kamen Rider or Super Sentai and have also had a role in Sailor Moon at some point... that one is pretty long, actually xD

It doesn't matter, she is still no more than 16. That is just disgusting.

More power to you. I mean, the show is not horrible, but I can no longer sit through the first season, R, or SuperS ever again.

And I'm not nitpicking when I say the audio sounds like it is coming from a garbage can in the original and R. Seriously, it is like they were recorded from a hundreds of miles away.

It can't be that long.
*checks*
I was very, very wrong.

Well, that's because America and Japan have different beliefs. Look past what you see and think of the meaning behind it. She wasn't naked for any sexual reason, it was to represent her innocence and purity.
