Hi, BlueSky!
I'm Phix, and if you couldn't tell by my handle, I'm a huge #SailorMoon fan focused on translating and archiving some of the franchise's more obscure pieces of print media (comics, picture books, etc.). So, if you're a fellow Moonie (and not afraid of hot takes), I'd love to be friends!

Looks like a new Sailor Moon Cafe is opening up next month. Merch consists of clear files, posters, postcards, and coasters featuring colorized manga artwork. Hopefully this is a sign the all-color manga edition isn't dead?

I'm a Julie/Catwoman stan, so I'm never going to say no to more of her, but that said, the second movie didn't really give her character anything new to do, so what was the point other than "she's still alive so let's bring her back again"

Sailor Fun Comics @sailorfuncomics.bsky.social · 1d

Very true. I wonder if they tried reaching out to any of the other surviving cast members to make cameos (surely Joan Collins would have been game), but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even bother :\

I still wish they'd gotten Yvonne Craig to reprise her role as Batgirl for the first one before she passed away. Maybe they did approach her and she declined, I don't know, but it would have been really nice.

It still kills me how Toei completely forgot about this subplot when adapting Ami's First Love. It's not her first love when she already had a whole ~thing~ with Urawa!

Also: Ryō should've stayed a recurring character in all five seasons.

I always thought they were 10 too, but given the R movie, it makes more sense that Usagi and Shingo would be 2-3 years apart than 4.

I'm sure characters like Urawa and Yuuchirou are stuck in some weird limbo, but what about the non-manga characters created/designed by Naoko herself? Is there at least some hope of seeing them reappear someday?

I also think it's a shame we never get to see Queen Beryl being goofy at any point in the manga or any other versions of the series. She looks so cute here!

Something I never see people mention is how the Sailor Moon Raisonne art book revealed Queen Beryl's past self's name was Berylea / Berirea (ベリレア). I'd love to see this come up in future adaptations, and it only makes me want the other Sailors to have real Princess names even more.

She is in the second story; not sure why they used Mako in the first one.

I'd been thinking about watching the reboot as an easy entry-point to the franchise, but I'm definitely not doing that now.

I've never watched any of the previous Winx Club shows and I know very little about the franchise, but I've watched several reviews of the new reboot on YT and it looks atrocious. Makes me appreciate Crystal, it's that bad.

An upset stomach sends Chibiusa to the hospital... and straight into the clutches of a sinister Droid! Can Usagi and Makoto stop the monster *and* cure Chibiusa? Find out in this week's scanlation, "The Great Nurse Transformation!" #SailorMoon #SailorFunComics
