I love Sailor Iron Mouse's character design, but I wound up being disappointed by her when I actually watched Stars for the first time. That being said, I like the weird sisters from R a lot.

I would contest that Sailor Cosmos is the final form of Sailor Moon, but not necessarily the most powerful. However, I do agree that they don't lose power until they have a daughter. But in this case, the RPG takes place as Princess Serenity is gaining her powers. I always interpreted it as a gradual loss, just as in the case of Chibi Moon was a gradual gain. Also it always seemed to me that if you controlled a lot of area (such as the solar system in the Silver Millenium or Crystal Tokyo), that you had very little power left over for fighting or that sort of thing. Perhaps I worded it incorrectly, but it does seem that as time goes due to a number of factors, their power grows weaker. (The ginzuishou taking care of more people at once, having a daughter, etc etc).
And just as you said, using the ginzuishou as a final-all-you-can-muster move will almost definitely take your life, but it seems that using it constantly to protect a huge number of people or a kingdom would also be constantly draining. I think the biggest issue was my use of the word "age", which I simply meant as a passing of time including all that comes with it. I feel like we're arguing a trivial point when we both mostly agree.
However, it does rely on a lot of supposition, but I don't think stating something like that actually contests the cannon necessarily. Just sort of creating a theory to fill in the blanks for fun.

It seems like it's much harder to keep interested in that series compared to the others. I feel myself very bored when I watch it, and I wish I didn't. It's one of those things I wished I liked more.
I think a few of the reasons might be that the enemies aren't as interesting or seemingly as relevant to the overall plot (I'm sure people could argue me on that). Everything seemed much more pressing and vital in the other seasons compared to this one. (Sacred talismans??) While other seasons' villains are laughably camp or downright scary, in SuperS it feels like some weird in-between.
That's just my opinion though.

Oh. That's in a reference to the lost of power as she "ages". I don't mean like an actual physical aging, but more like how it's hinted in the manga that sailor cosmos or any future forms of sailor moon/serenity become very weak. There seems to be a lot of evidence that as time goes on (perhaps simply from use), power/strength diminishes. (Queen Serenity giving the last of her strength during the silver millenium, Queen Serenity in R, Cosmos in S). At least, that's something that I've taken away from the series.

New Sailor Moon RPG taking place in the silver millenium! Not a soul has joined yet. The Story: On the Moon, there is a peaceful civilization ruled by a queen with mysterious power. As she ages, her power is diminishing. Her daughter, the princess of the Moon, Serenity, is poised to become the queen. While still young, she is in the midst of taking etiquette classes as well as being taught the politics of their solar system. Princesses from the other planets have been invited to continue their training at the palace on the moon, known for their superior scholars and training facilities. The Moon watches over and protects the rest of the solar system, Earth in particular. They hand down their knowledge and technology to Earthlings. Despite this long arrangement, things are becoming unbalanced. Meanwhile, the sun's energy has flared, and sun spots are becoming a more frequent sight. Meteors are attracted to the solar system and are crashing down on the planets. A darkness is growing on the nearby planet of Earth. The Royal family is faced with a growing resentment from the general population on Earth of the Moon Kingdom's superior way of life and longevity. While the King and Queen have good relations with the other Royalty in the solar system, their concern grows. Separated and ignorant of these issues is their son, Endymion. A typical Prince who is unconcerned with these issues, he is more interested in the mysteries of the moon. Among all the unrest, a law from the highest authority forbids contact between the people of the Earth and the Moon. noctiluna.livejournal.com/community.livejournal.com/mserenitatis/It is based in lj.

The first season always makes me cry in the end, but... (even the naru/nephrite episodes). I think Stars over all is the most dramatic. Haruka and Michiru's final scene had me bawling my eyes out... and Mamoru being dead the entire time... the fact that Usagi saw the plane explode, couldn't mentally handle it, and kept writing him letters in the manga just blew my mind. A lot of people don't like the stars season, but I thought it was one of the most interesting and character driven seasons. <3 and also the most dramatic.

Well, I don't have the time, effort, or resources at the moment as a poor college student, but it's been a dream of mine to recreate a super fansite all over again. however, the time for that is still down the road. :< maybe a couple of years... if we hold on, maybe there will be a resurgence?

Hi! Thanks everyone for the warm wishes. Japanese is my major in school, but I'm really interested in the linguistics. It's tough, but I'm working hard at it here.

Well, my point was that sailor moon was introduced sometime before anime on public access channels leading the way to toonami being broadcast. but it's sort of a trivial arguing point like you said, because it's still dealing in hypotheticals. nevertheless, I still love the butchered mishandled sadness that is the dub.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Oh, I used to. A lot of original art as well, but I'm without a scanner here in japan. I'm sure I'll be back into it when I get back to the states.

Someone brought up the point that it would've taken a few more years and then the subbed would've come to America, but I think they fail to realize that the Sailor Moon dub was one of the largest starting points for anime getting popular with the general populus in America. It aired when I was in 2nd grade, and I used to watch it before school on public television. and then I was reading the manga in 5th. Toonami cropped up about that same time, and sailor moon was one of the first on its line up. From about that time on, that's also when the internet was getting more common usage in the states. so basically if the dub was never created, I doubt there would've been such popularity with anime at all among Americans or girls in general.
that aside, I agree with the original post that the dub has a dear spot in my heart, despite the horrible dialogue. something about a female zoicite just gets me laughing like a chipmunk. I still prefer the sub to the dub, and the manga and to the sub. all versions of sailor moon are so different, and I love them all.

Hi, everyone! I'm Kyon-py. I was a member ages and ages and ages ago at Angel and Vormulac's Sailor Moon Artbook Gallery. I'm no stranger to the fandom, but I am new here. I'm looking for friends and a new Sailor Moon community. I'm currently a study abroad student in Japan, and it's all because some odd years ago I started watching sailor moon. Nice to meet you! -Py
