I love spending hours in the ER just for the doctor to hit me with a “whoopies! The testing facility closed hours ago! Guess we won’t get your results until tomorrow.”

Manga authors like Takahashi Rumiko (Urusuei Yatsura) are pulling their works from Shogakukan's site MangaONE after revelations that the publisher let author Yamamoto Shoichi publish under a pen name after he sexually assaulted a 15yo female student.

The debut of Kasumi's special lure, the "Kasumi Special Version 3!" Satoshi also makes a comment about how the existence of a "Version 3" means there must've been a Version 1 and 2 at some point, which is pretty much the same joke the Rocket trio makes with its giant robots every now and then.

Did ADV ever advertise Puni Puni Poemy bragging about the fact that it was banned in New Zealand? Or did I just make that up in my head? I could have sworn they ran a magazine advert to that LLP effect, but I’m coming up blank trying to track it down.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of Kousaku Anakubo's Pocket Monsters manga! The series got its start in the April 1February 28th, 1996 issue of CoroCoro Special under the title "The Mysterious Pokémon Pippi." A few chapters later the series will change its name to simply "Pocket Monsters."

My Hotaru doll accidentally became Molly Shannon.

Are all of Yumemi Yumeno's paintings based on Takeuchi's work?

One more today: “A Reluctant Princess.” My DVD isn’t working so I had to improvise (way back machine).

Damn it. The next disc is my bootleg set doesn’t work. 😩

Finally at one of most iconic episodes: “A Crystal Cleat Destiny.” The first Sailor Moon VHS I got as a kid had this episode, so I’ve seen it like 100 times.

Now it’s time for “Sailor V Makes the Scene.”

Scanned one of my favorite Honey Kisaragi illustrations. ❤️

One more: “Tuxedo Melvin.” I don't think I’ve actually seen this episode dubbed before.

“Kitty Chaos” up next. This is the first dub episode to acknowledge the series takes place in Tokyo. Kinda funny considering how they Americanize almost everything!

I don’t know why I’m first hearing about this from a famous JAV actress turned videogame content creator, but this is the first I’m hearing of this really horrific story and SIX YEAR COVERUP by Shogakukan (CW: sexual abuse). And it’s not like the perpetrator is even famous. Are there others who are?

Next is “Grandpa’s Follies.” This episode introduces Chad, who is very different from his Japanese counterpart.

First episode today: “Too Many Girlfriends.” The series takes a very comical direction over the next few episodes, probably to ease into the more serious storyline coming up.

Finally feeling better, so another episode it is! “An Artful Attack” is the first episode I ever saw! I caught it early one Sunday morning.

Hey… who’s that narrator?

Then we have something that's gotten a bit harder to find lately... Lady Oscar: The Rose of Versailles - Complete Collection! Our existing Lady Oscar discs, in one collection, to make it easier than ever to collect the beloved series!

Finally got out of bed, so let’s start the day with “Mercury’s Mental Match.”

😕

Everyone talks about the original first season finale, but *this* is the real episode that traumatized everyone who watched it

One more: “The Power of Friendship.”

Next is “Jupiter Comes Thundering In.” Yay! Sailor Jupiter has arrived! Also the last Tracey Moore episode. 🥲

Oh boy, here we go. “A Friend in Wolf’s Clothing.” The most faithfully translated episode from the DIC era.

Rough recovery day so I’ve been in bed all day. Gonna start today with ”Molly’s Folly.”

We’ve watched Search Party like five times and I never realized Parker Posey was in the first season.

As I finish up Neflite’s story arc, I keep thinking about how Sailor Moon *almost* ended with two seasons.

“Worth a Princess‘s Ransom.” A fun episode based on a manga chapter with some plot developments. I remember liking this one as a kid.

Squeezing one more episode in before bf comes back from class. Next is “An Animated Mess.” Clips from this episode were featured in a lot of Toonami bumpers, so I was really excited to see it.

As much as I love this episode, I wish we could’ve seen more of the “dream victims” from throughout the series.

Now watching “Who is that Masked Man?”, a turning point in Neflite’s story arc. We’re back to Terri as Sailor Moon.

Next is one of my favorites, “Dangerous Dollies.” This was the first episode that made me cry as a child. lol Tracey is back which implies the series wasn’t dubbed in order.

The casting call takes place at a “New Nihon Hotel” which is based on the real life “Hotel New Ohtani Tokyo.” Funny enough, Cutie Honey referenced the same place 20 years earlier!

Starting off the day with “Shutter Bugged.” I watched this episode a lot as a kid because it was released on VHS.

I loved this movie but I feel like they should‘ve cut out Eric or stuck closer to the Hans Christian Andersen fable.

“Wedding Day Blues” now. DIC changed the prologue footage AGAIN. Why?? From what I can tell it’s mostly the same clips, just rearranged. Weird.

Well, my head is killing me and I can’t do anything so another Sailor Moon episode it is! Here goes “An Unnatural Phenomena.”

I have no energy to do anything else so, another Sailor Moon episode it is. Here is “Match point for Sailor Moon.”

zenigaga

One more today - “Fight to the Finish.” Time to say goodbye to Jadeite!

One of my all time favorite dub episodes: ”Cruise Blues.” I actually watched this the other day lol.

Blizzard + surgery recovery = more Sailor Moon! Starting off the day with “Nightmare in Dreamland.” It’s the first Ikuhara episode to be dubbed!

How random they included Scissors Panther and Tarantula Panther from the original.

LEE PACE????

We’re watching the last Twilight movie and I’m losing my mind.

I love how it’s so obvious Takeuchi just drew these on the spot and didn’t design them beforehand. lol
