one of the weirdest kind of rec I've ever done

[salinea]

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:
(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:

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. ^_~
