[Where I Watch] Sailor Moon

[Epsilon]

So, over on the rpg.net Other Media boards(registration required), user Shadowjack has been watching the Sailor Moon anime from the beginning and giving a hilarious breakdown of each episode and his thoughts on the series as he goes. He just reached the end of the Jadeite arc which he capped off with this:

Seriously, registration is free and this thread is worth reading form the beginning. It's hilarious. I also recommend [Where I Watch] Bleach

[OpMegs]

It's funny because it's true.

"Our Lady of Smoking Craters"

"Contestant #3: Rei, a Shinto maiden of local repute"

"This leads me to the entirely logical conclusion that her husband is Cthulhu."

*is dying* Okay, now I have to see the Bleach version.

Oh, that was the laugh I so sorely needed today.

Thank you so much, Epsilon.

"so I know that this is Mamoru, dedicated trainspotter and Miami Vice fan."

Oh, that's not fair...

...to trainspotters.

If I had to pick a single favorite image from that, I think it'd be Rei starting a fire at age 3.

BWAAA-HA-HAAA! Rei-chan the little pyromaniac! That is SO going into DSKS! (^_^)

I dunno -- three-year-old Usagi on a leash going "Doggy!" is pretty cute. The "Fate keeps shoving them" pic is good, too.

He's right on the money, too, about Ami. I remember the episode where she beat the pants off of Mamoru in a one-on-one fight...

They don't use leashes like that here in Japan though - that seems to be an Americanism. Rather, I would imagine instead one of those
Buttons-Chases-Mindy shorts from Animaniacs, with Usagi as Mindy and Tsukino-san as Buttons.

And I just noticed that this guy's Location field is given as "Santa Cruz County, California."

I'll have to investigate...

I've been reading the "In Which I Watch Sailor Moon" thread... Today's bonus sketch, just before the satiric recap of episode 20, is a Crossover That Should Not Be:

(Scary how well the correspondences work...)

Edit: Speaking of satiric recap of episode 20:

Rei /throws the ball at Usagi.
Usagi /falls down. "OW!"
Ami /throws the ball at Usagi.
Usagi /falls down. "OW!"
Luna /throws the ball at Usagi.
Usagi /falls down. "OW!"
Usagi: "When did it become Pummel Usagi Week?"
Luna: "Consider this part of your Anything Goes Martial Arts Training!"

The red one that got tagged with a talisman is cute. '.'

It'll be interesting to see once this gets to Sailor Stars...

-Morgan. Actually, I need to see the rest of that myself. >.>

Mamoru (transformed to Tuxedo Mask): I'm sorry, this has never happened to me before...

Girl he's in bed with: You don't say!

Fortunately, I was smart enough not to have anything in my mouth when I read that.

Oh, and Luna picking the girls up and dropping them in a shoebox....

I SWEAR I've seen the "Teasing Orson Scott Card" comic, except with "Lesbians" instead of "Gay Boyfriends" somewhere else...

Here, more than likely.

There have been several variations, including this one for example.

For some reason, I keep imagining her saying "Is that so!"

Somehow, I don't feel like just looking at that page will make me familiar with it either...

The elven wizard Vaarsuvius likes using the Explosive Runes spell; it creates a short message on any surface that goes BOOM when someone reads it.

His standard message is "I prepared Explosive Runes this morning."

...Also, if you people haven't been reading Order of the Stick, START!

Dralm help me, it's really hard to pick out a single favorite scene or line from this installment.
It's all gold. Front-runners are Usagi and Rei arguing over their relationship with Mamoru; Beryl's line, "Once you go non-Euclidean, it's
hard to go back"; Makoto's trouble finding a guy; and Ami's thoughts when invited to Makoto's kung fu class.
