  1. Tchaikovsky got me into classical music. He is so much lighter than most Russian composers. It's a shame he didn't like the Nutcracker because he thought it was too "frilly" like hello there Tchaikovsky that is why we love you!
    Waltz of the Flowers:


    Dance of the Swans (1:54 especially):

    Valse Sentimentale:

    But there is a lot more than just Tchaikovsky
    I also like Erik Satie's Gnossiennes, specifically no. 4

    and no .1

  2. I'm gonna be honest with you, I blocked the Manga from my memory so I can't say I remember but I feel like things got "too mature" for a manga that was supposed to be cute and nice (and this is comparing it to super stars which was dark enough)

     

    oh, I am reading the manga so I hope it's really good. Thanks for the discussion :lol:

    I agree SM is better when it's about the Usagi and the other scouts then just focusing on Usagi and Mamoru

  3. a lot of people don't like the 90's anime because Usagi's so ditzy but I found it very entertaining and funny and a lot of people hate the fact that it centered around usagi's friendship with the girls instead of her romance with mamoru (lmao ok)

     

    Since I haven't read the manga I cannot really compare, but I love Usagi's flanderization ok! lol! even Rei's, Rei's DiC voice was so awesome lmao. I mean Usagi starts out as a crybaby with terrible grades even in the manga (I got that far :P) and all of a sudden she is given the task of saving the world, there is no way she is going to easily adapt to this even with help of the other scouts. Would you say that Usagi's transformation into Sailor Moon was realistic in the manga? I mean I have never really cared to much about realism in a manga esp since it's a shoujo magical genre anime, but even if Usagi was more "tolerable" I have heard that she came off as so perfect despite all of the obvious flaws she should have had to deal with. 

     

    That's why I love this scene of the DiC intro so much. I am not going to say that Sailor Moon was so deep, but I would not be surprised if the anime actually had more substance than the manga and did a better job at illustrating Usagi's man vs self conflict.

  4. PGSM's the live action, right? I had mixed feelings tbh. as for Michiru, I feel like they gave her no plot at all and in the manga, Haruka cheats on her with Usagi and literally no one ever talked about it through out the rest of the manga *eye roll* she's just a filler character and she's rude af (more than in the 90's show)

     

    I personally despise Mamoru which is another reason why I prefer the 90's anime along with the fact that I find him extremely creepy (he's finishing college and she's shown in bed with a 14 year old? can't say I'm a fan and he even had some weird plot WITH FREAKING CHIBIUSA IN THE MANGA OH MY GOD) 

     

     

    and about hating Makoto, it was one of the creative artists/directors, kunihiko ikuhara that disliked him (he's the one that created Revolutionary Girl Utena), it's commonly known amongst fan he purposely made more people hate him lmao, he actually stated in an interview that he wanted Usagi to end up with Rei  :lol:

     

     "I've tried to kill off Tuxedo Mask in Sailor Moon many times. But no matter how many times I tried to kill him, he gets resurrected so I only get angrier."

     

    I only saw the first/second maybe third episode and I decided I did not like it. To be fair, I might give it a second chance. It's odd because of the cat plushies and overall cringiness, but I feel as though some things might actually be well executed in the live action version.

    I once saw the nickname Michiru "start some shit" Kaihou and I feel like that's super appropriate at least for anime Michiru. but I cannot help but love Michiru either way, her character just appeals to me so much. And I think she got the coolest planet tbh (Neptune/Poseidon, epic). I never really paid attention to her when I was 9/10, but now that I am re watching it I think she is so -swoon- 

    I am not really familiar with the HarukaxUsagi thing, or whether it's cheating, but kissing seems a little weird to me. I hear that after that kiss nothing even happens between them (UsagixHaruka). It just seems so out of place, but then again I haven't even read the manga so maybe when I read it it'll make more sense.  

    Lol yeah that's so weird how they made him a college student in the anime, but somehow that never bothered me, how awkward lol and I definitely don't condone pedophilia in anyway. I crushed on him when I was younger, but yeah now he is just meh to me. Don't hate him, but don't really like him either. 

    I heard about the black lady/tuxedo mask kiss, that's just all hosts of gross.

    Usagi and Rei? Woah, now there lmao! They had a special friendship, but anything more than that would have been............ I guess he really likes girlxgirl relationships xD

     

    Lmao, that quote, so funny! 

  5. for people who have seen the show and read the manga, I mean. 

     

    The 90's anime gives the characters so much more development and personality and I like Rei's dynamic with Usagi which isn't a thing in the manga and only happened because the productor (?) hated mamoru and added Rei to the equation to give their relationship more screentime and momoru/usagi less lmao, I agree 100%

     

    You might be totally right, but this might also be a huge assumption. From what I have noticed, people who are into analyzing SM seem to prefer the 90s anime. I would not mind if it were an unpopular opinion, but the anime is just so amazing!

     

    Gosh Rei and Usagi's relationship lmao, I never knew if I loved it or hated it. I am kinda interested in seeing Rei portrayed as a respectable and refined young woman though. The producer hated Mamoru? Wow, I did not know that, did he really use those exact words? I don't think Mamoru deserves hate lol though he does seem kinda dead weight sometimes though his rose attacks were iconic :rlytearpls:  

     

    I have heard that anime is much kinder to Michiru's character (and she is one of my faves of the series) and it goes further in developing the relationship between her and Uranus. This is very important to me lol and I am not even into homosexual pairings.

     

    Also, is PGSM worth a try (if you've watched it)?

  6. Yaten was one of sm's biggest bitches, I hated that asshole but I loved him at the same time, I hated Taiki though. Apart from him, The only character I absolutely never got into was mamoru lmao. even more unpopular opinion, I liked the 90's anime more than the manga

     

    Is this really an unpopular opinion though, so many people love the classic 90s anime and don't even know that there is a manga or are even interested in reading it. You might be right, but I don't really know what basis you are going off of.

     

    I am going to read the manga though I don't think anything will touch the 90s anime for me. Detective Conan, SM, and Glass Mask (esp 1984 ver) are the only things I need anime-wise, especially SM, I can watch them over and over again. Well, in Detective Conan's case I don't think I will ever reach the end :rlytearpls:

  7. I have decided to start reading the manga. I have heard that the manga does very little to develop or explore Neptune's character and her relationship with Uranus (They are the only homosexual couple I have ever shipped and boy do I ship) I think I understand why the manga never really explored Neptune and her relationship with Uranus though.

     

    I am excited to start reading the manga just to see what it has to offer. The classic 90s anime is so gold to me and I have never really liked manga so I am pretty sure the 90s will reign supreme for me, but who knows.

  8. If the list is wrong, tell me.

    Well if you like shojo Glass Mask is fun to watch. It's about a girl who wants to become an actress, she is kind of an unrealistic character but I really loved the intensity between her and her rival.

    I never finished Nana for the sake of my sanity
