Here's an interesting sighting!
I'm reading a book called Cringe by Sarah Brown right now. It's essentially excerpts from the journals of '80s/'90s kids that they look back on and cringe at now. There are scans of the creative covers some people made for their journals, and one of them has a holographic Super Sailor Uranus sticker on it!
Part of one girl's entry mentioned Sailor Moon too: "Saw the Sailor Moon movie today. It was awsome [sic] except there were subtitles. My mom thinks Sailor Moon is like a cult. I'm like 'Yah mom that's it.' [Huge scribble of rage.] Sorry felt like doing that. She goes 'Well what's the appeal of Sailor Moon' and I go 'Well what was the appeal of the Brady Bunch and The Partidge Family?' and UUUhhngg!"
The girl's explanation as an adult? "Do you know what earth-shattering event happened to make me so despondent? It was that I was forbidden to watch Sailor Moon from then on out, because my mom really did think it was a cult."
I never really understood parents who thought like that.

People like that shouldn't be allowed to have offspring.

I can imagine, if I ever had a child, showing him or her Sailor Moon. I can imagine him/her liking it or hating it.

I found Sailor Moon on my own. I remember coming home one day and it was on toonami right after knights of the zodiac (granted this was back in the early 90's). So I started doodling the pics of Sailor Moon, whenever I get a scanner you'll see my lovely art...my mom didn't care just cuz i didn't see her all the time but my grandmother said it was ugly. It discouraged me to watch it for a while then i started watching it again by this time my doodling got better but still called ugly and I should have better use of my time. Eventually I got a just nice with no affection. So I know about the whole cult thing. My friends and I eventually created a sailor moon affiliated "i hate this person, i hate this person too, lets all hate her together secret society." I was Sailor Moon of course...

Oh wow, I think my parents actually encourged my Sailor Moon-ing, as the anime was about 'girl-power' and 'self-respect'. Well, the Sailor Says bit atleast XD If I ever had kids (O.o) they would have to put up with SM! I would love to look back on what I've writen in 20 years time, as cringe-worthy as it would be...

Wow, I'm on a bit of a roll here. Sailor Moon got a mention in Geek's October issue! There was a very nice article dedicated to Comiket in Akihabara and there was a section about Japanese cosplay. Looks like Sailor Moon cosplay isn't dead in Japan! Sorry about the bad quality -- I'm too poor to buy it, so I had to take a picture with my phone.

Keep up the good work every one! Here's an interesting one, I was watching The Boondocks the other night and I was shocked to see a sailor moon reference. The main story line was these rappers move in across from the Freeman family (main characters) and the grandpa calls the police on them, they retaliated with a music video called Eff Grandad (XD) Here's the link to the music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy4g4Rx8h8AGirl pops in at about 0:17 And if swearing offends you (or your too lazy to watch) here's a screen cap:

I saw that, but I never thought it had to do with Sailor Moon. Maybe I'm just used to seeing girls give the peace sign everywhere, but I like the Sailor Moon theory better. Here's one I scanned a few years ago and forgot about! It's from a Simpsons comic that parodied a bunch of different anime, mostly Pokemon.

ROFL at the Simpsons comic scan. That's hilarious!
