Sailor Moon

Wow...what a stupid show.

Sorry fanboys, but my hormones aren't enough to convince me that this fluff is worth getting into. It's just too stupid, and it's not particularly well drawn.

It's not the feminine go-go power rangers-esque attitide that puts me off. I am not fond of it, but it was tolerable. What really burned me up were two big, gargantuan problems. The plot and the characters.

The plot is essentially identical to the Power Rangers. High school kids constantly defend Earth from evil queen who lives in someplace that is far, far away. Funny, you think sooner or later the scouts and rangers would go on the offensive so they wouldn't have to keep dealing with all those lame henchman.

Serena is the dumbest, most annoying blonde anime has ever had. She's not even that attractive, fanboys. She's loud, annoying, and her head has more air than the Goodyear blimp. Mihoshi from Tenchi Muyo is smarter than she is. If you know Mihoshi, you know that this is a bad, bad thing.

Tuxedo Mask is an uncreative man's attempt to create a suave, badass charater. He dresses like the phantom of the opera, and what's with the roses?! Don't even get me started on his annoying quips.

Sound? Cheesy. Cinematography? Lame. Humor? Oh God, make it stop! In fact, the only redeeming quality I found in this series were a few episodes toward the end of the Sailor Moon saga that were much more dramatic than the by-the-episode crap I had to suffer through to get there. It's hardly worth the price of admission. Avoid this one like you would avoid seeing me naked. Yuck!

2/10
