so i'm browsing the sailormoon internet world and i find this article about "Saban Moon", the kind of urban legend-esque BSSM american pilot, which apparently wasn't even done by Saban but another company.

anyway, the article made me think a little. it was a well done article. the interviewer actually said they liked the american pilot and thought it would have done better than the anime. i never realized he/she was sort of right. sailor moon is really popular but it actually could have gone farther. i'm actually surprised it doesn't have as much merchandise and hype here in the states.

but moving on. so i decided to re-watch the 2 minute clip. while on youtube, i found something else i decided to watch first. it was like an advertisment for sailor moon's debut here in america.

funny enough, it was a DIC preview.

bet you never heard sailor moon called "Victoria" before.

??oro??

I KNOW!

victoria? what the hell. oh wait it gets better.

mercury's civilian name was "blue". who names their daughter blue. mars was dana, not really fitting. jupiter was sara; ok, but again not the best fit. my other favorite (sarcasm) was venus. her name was carrie. i'm seeing minako chan freaking out at a prom.

the whole thing looked so corny. sometimes i close my eyes and imagine a world where BSSM was just left alone and never screwed over...
