At RPG.net there are frequently Where I Watch [fill in blank name of series/movies/stories] threads about someone recaping a series as they go at it, which is often very fun. There's a guy named Shadowjack doing this with Sailor Moon and it's been a thread of EPIC AWESOMENESS so far (he's just finished S1). Okay I'm not sure of his characterisation of Rei as Latina because she fits the hot headed stereotype, but that aside, it's awesome. Now this is noticeable to me because I never even watched Sailormoon (much, I mean, I caught an episode or 2 on TV when I was 13, of course, but I pretty much hated it) yet it actually sort made me want to watch it O_O. A fact that beyond surprises me. Anyway even more awesome than the WIW thread itself is the recap cartoon of his recap Shadowjack has been doing. Judge for yourself:
([livejournal.com profile] a_white_rain, you want to look at this especially. You'll know why when you reach it ^^)



















































You can find the WIW thread here and its sequel there.

Oh, and bonus pic, for something completely different:

Actually he's got a lengthy one about Ritsuko and her crush on Misato. Want me to post this as well?

Aaaah yes, please! XDD Where is his page? I don't even know who the guy is. XD

The Ritsuko drawing

His page? what do you mean? He's not on livejournal (that I know of).

Thank you! But it gives me an error?

Aaaaah, now I can read. I didn't even know what RPG.net was. Shame me.

Okay, I scrolled a lot looking for Haruka and Michiru. ;; And yeah, the way he put Rei as a Latina and how he explained it was... no, dude.

It's just a big forum I like hanging out to.

Okay, I scrolled a lot looking for Haruka and Michiru. ;;
Yeah, I said it was only about S1. I'm sure he'll have a riot with them when he gets to them.

And yeah, the way he put Rei as a Latina and how he explained it was... no, dude.
That's the one thing I hold against him. :(

ETA: the link should be working now. Is it?

Je n'ai pas tout lu, mais j'ai feuilleté, et effectivement, il raconte bien !

Et j'adore le dessin sur Evangelion.

Je trouve que cette parodie est spot on en effet ^^

Depuis que j'ai vu les deux premiers Rebuild of Evangelion, j'ai vachement envie de me refaire la série en fait... ^^

Je n'ai pas vu les Rebuild, mais j'ai revu des épisodes de la série pendant les vacances de Toussaint, et c'est toujours ♥

Les Rebuilds sont FANTASTIQUES. Serieusement.

Argh, et en plus tu m'encourages ^^ En fait j'ai pas vu la série depuis... euh, les années 90. Ma mémoire est très floue.

En fait, je n'ai vraiment pas aimé la réécriture en manga, et je suppose que c'est pour ça qu'un autre remake m'inquiète un peu.

Bah, il sera toujours temps de les voir si les critiques sont toujours bonnes une fois que c'est fini...

This is so amazingly epic. I was watching that thread awhile ago but haven't had any time for RPG.net in awhile... I'm a SM fan from way back and I can't help but find this amazing.

I had the same reaction when I was reading his thread, I PMed him and asked him where he got his seasons LOL!

I wasn't a SM fan from way back then and I also couldn't help but find this amazing :DDD

Also, for serious SM lulz, there's sailormoonabridged.com

(Warning, SMA is intentionally really, really, really offensive.)

Is it fun even for people who haven't watched the series, and what kind of offensive are we talking of exactly?

From: [identity profile] cyshobbitlass.livejournal.com
I'm *told* that it's funny for people who haven't watched it, but I honestly wouldn't know. It's about as offensive as South Park or Drawn Together, I'd say. As in, too over the top to be taken seriously but could be making fun of something that's a trigger issue. It really depends on if you find that sort of thing funny. For instance, Sailor Moon is the butt of fat jokes, Mars is a cutter, Jupiter is transexual. What I find particularly funny is that it's the actual show, but I can see why someone might find it too much.

He's a genius, isn't he? His recaps without drawings are also pretty brilliant, if you have the time to read them.

This was great!

Sailor Moon is actually one of my favorite manga series of all time - the manga is vastly superior to the anime, though, IMO.

Loved the Sailormoon bit, but my favorites were Haruka and Michiru. Hope they make their appearance soon! Also, I only watched season 1 and parts of 2 in English (I'm sure a lot got cut) and didn't start watching the Japanese sub until SailormoonS.

In what season do Haruka & Michiru show up?

As I mentioned myself I only watched a couple of scattered episodes, mostly from S1.

They show up in the third season, SailormoonS. The seasons go like this: Sailormoon, SailormoonR, SailormoonS, Sailormoon SuperS, SailorStars. Haruka & Michiru were a big deal for me, because they were the first lesbian couple I ever saw in media and I thought Haruka was super cool. I even wrote fanfic about them.

I have fond memories of the series, but I watched it when I was a teenager. Looking back at it now, it might be somewhat cheesy. I still love it though. ^_~
