How did I only just find your blog? PGSM is one of my favorite shows (still). I remember torrenting it when it first came out and waiting every week for it to come out. Thank you for making me belly laugh.
Welcome welcome welcome! If you love PGSM you’re definitely in the right place. I’m always glad to find more people who appreciate the magical girl live-action dramas in life.
Something I’ve been wondering for a bit about PGSM… if they had gotten to Neptune and Uranus, how would they be portrayed? This show is so amazing in many meanings of the word I just have no idea how it would handle them…
Interesting question! I’m no expert on the production history of Sailor Moon, but I always figured that it was never meant to last longer than an arc. They took the Gravity Falls route and ended it before it could be canceled. So, to cover all their bases, they put elements from the whole series into the one season (Princess Sailor Moon as Saturn, Luna as Chibiusa, and Minako as Uranus, Neptune and Pluto combined). So the question is, how could they make a Uranus and Neptune that isn’t just a repeat of what Minako represents? I think they’d probably take the gay angle.
Since the focus on THE MISSION/sacrifice/devotion to the Princess belongs to Minako now, I would love to see an old-fashioned episode-106 style romance. Our dear Haruka and Michiru have been raised to be what was expected of them. Michiru is supposed to be a high-class elite artist, a trophy child. Haruka is supposed to get out of high school and be a mechanic like her dad. They are both supposed to like boys. They see themselves as products of unchangeable circumstance. All of these plans get thrown out of balance when they take up their roles as guardians. To amp up the drama: Michiru breaks her wrist during a battle, metaphorically detaching her from the painting and violin lessons she used to spent hours on. Haruka gets recruited by a sports team, behind her family’s back. At least ten episodes are devoted to Haruka and Michiru making knitted items for each other.
The other girls, now a little older, are struggling with this too; Usagi and her friends have to choose between what destiny wants them to be, and what they want to be. This would be a good arc to have Ami leave for Germany to pursue her career. The others start to focus on their personal goals as well. Usagi (who has not seen Crystal Tokyo) doesn’t know what to do with her life. She just wants to make everyone happy. Though being a Senshi is what brought them all together, it isn’t what keeps them together. Friendship is. Love is.
So that’s what I would do if Toei commissioned me to make a live action PGSM spin-off series. Call me, Toei.

replied to your photoset “hey Jyoji Shibue, can you come into the studio today so we can film 4…”
To be fair, it’s the Dark Kingdom. His alternatives are listening to Zoisite’s mystical piano playing, eating stuffed animals with Mio, or sitting around in Nephrite’s depression cave.
worst…. roommates……… ever
If anyone told me that anything would have the potential to make me romantically pair one of the shitennou with any senshi I would have laughed in their face and fixed myself a cocktail because I had nothing to worry about but… here we are… here we all are……
Some vengeful godlike entities just want to watch the world burn
“hey Jyoji Shibue, can you come into the studio today so we can film 4 seconds of footage of you standing aimlessly in a dark room and suddenly remembering that your girlfriend exists? thanks”
this is the first Serenity transformation that isn’t directly Endymion-related. so what caused it? the general desire for power? an inner thirst for revenge? trying to speed up the battle so that she can go out for milkshakes and fries after?
Everyone else: Princess Serenity hath returned, and with her a scourge of hatred on this blighted earth
Naru: SHE DID THE THING TWICE?!?!
usagi versus serenity! who will win? and whose soul will be vanquished forever by the other? stay tuned to find out
