“hey what did you do today”

“not much, i was just emotionally devastated by a Candy Crush clone”

Do you know the creator of Princess Tutu is Ikuko Itoh? She is known as a character designer and best animation director of Sailor Moon. Especially the chief animator for the S, Supers, its openings and most transformations/attacks. Also, her art style is beautiful and noticeable without a doubt, such as in merch, DVD covers, and many iconic episodes like the final S battle and the one with the first appearance of Super Sailor Moon transformation with Holy Grail! <3 She knows how to make us cry!

I am so glad to hear this! I generally have a hard time telling the difference between various SM animators, but not with Ikuko Itoh, because this shit is HISTORIC

I am PERSONALLY OFFENDED by how pretty her art is

IM LOSING IT OVER THIS PIECE OF MERCHANDISE IN PARTICULAR

Uranus and Neptune have finally found the Holy Grail. They effectively sacrificed their lives in its name, and were willing to take any and every pure heart with them. They wonder what kind of mystical powers it must hold to possess such a significant force in their lives.

ITS A GODDAMN PAPERCLIP HOLDER

“Paperclips can easily be held by many other things,” complains Neptune.

“This isn’t even a particularly efficient container,” adds Uranus. “What a waste of a tacky cup.”

BUT WAIT

THESE ARE NOT JUST ANY PAPERCLIPS

THESE ARE DESIGNER PAPERCLIPS

THESE PAPERCLIPS ARE SHAPED LIKE LITTLE STARS AND MOONS

THERE ARE, LIKE, TWENTY OF THEM

WAS IT WORTH THE POTENTIAL LIVES OF THE INNOCENTS

WAS IT WORTH YOUR OWN SOULS

JUST LOOK AT THOSE NOVELTY PAPERCLIPS

a semi-comprehensive list of favorite Sailor Moon episodes

Last week, purinsesu-sereniti asked what my favorite episode was. Overwhelmed by the enormity of the question, I had defaulted to sarcasm. I am here to remedy that. Here is a conglomeration of what happens to be exactly twenty episodes from all five seasons, from the overtly silly ones and the heartcrushingly serious ones. There’s probably many I’m forgetting, so I’d love to know which episodes are your personal favorites!

#12: Ami and Rei go on a couples’ cruise and even without a ticket Usagi somehow manages to third wheel

#13: Ami, Rei and Usagi kill Jadeite with feminism and an airplane

#27: Usagi gives the victim of the week a picture of Ami eating a hamburger

#44: Everyone dies in the past

#45–#46: Everyone dies in the present

#50: Usagi’s family and a couple of aliens go to a virtual reality game center

#66: Chibiusa makes curry with her parents, the Ayakashi Sisters are the worst salespeople, and everyone cares a little too much about the local supermarket

#78: Minako is somehow graced with a good immune system and serves as nurse to her friends

#82: Sailor Pluto exists

#91: Mamoru takes Usagi to an abandoned house full of cats and the power of their love creates a Legendary Rod

#108: Everyone tries to speak English and Usagi is so very drunk

#110–#111: Lesbian hell

#118: All the Senshi enter a randomly shifting dimension to save Hotaru while Professor Tomoe sits on the porch eating a bag of chips

#124–#125: Hotaru, Mistress 9, and Saturn all duke it out while technically inhabiting the same body

#136: Usagi is a ninja that’s all you need to know

#172: Baby Nehelenia and the prettiest redemption death ever

#184: The time that Sailor Moon unapologetically became a sitcom

The episode ends with Professor Tomoe laughing more than usual, which I did not think was possible

“Eudial is going to get in trouble with her reckless driving” is no longer a funny joke to make.

Now she’s better than a princess. She’s a magic butterfly princess.

“Now available at your local toy retailer for the low price of $29.99.”

Eudial is a parody of herself at this point

The child’s toy is once again more effective than any of the magical elemental powers. In simplicity there is beauty.
