I don't think Galaxy Angels are guy-oriented anime. The guys would probably die of 'lame-ness'. I've seen the whole series and it is very good for a good laugh. "dominatrix"??? You mean the red hair girl in purple uniform? The character names are Lanfa, Millufe(sp?), Vanilla, Mint and that red-haired girl whom I forgot her name! It is an anime full of dumb jokes.

Escawlone - heard of that but never saw it.

And I just reserved Full moon anime DVD (the first 26 epi) :eek:

Haha, you and I know the full SMoon story.

Ooooh and I just PM Marc to see if he can change the thread topic to Mint, choki and anime! Am I wicked or what :evil grin:

To be honest - yes, I want you to continue. SM stuff was indeed veerrryyy long and I'm not sure if every single episode (beside those which could have been cancelled due to some scenes of violence etc.) was aired in Poland. I'm bloody curious, 'cause I really hardly remember anything...

PS. Thx a lot for explanation (or explanation's beginning, I hope), choki :grin:

Full moon wasn't licensed in America yet? Hmm, actually my DVD source comes from HongKong and Taiwan. So they are not very original in that sense but they do have the latest titles and as long as the show is popular enough, they'll release the DVD in Jap audio with eng/chinese subtitles.

they will make it 3 episodes per DVD

:eek: They sure are evil :eek:
Mine is around 8-9 episodes in one DVD. For eg, one SM season in 4 DVDs!

Lol, that red-haired girl is the violent one. Collecting guns and shooting at someone/something when she is angry/frustrated. So are the DVD selling in US, in original japanese voiceover? The seiyuu (jap word for voiceactor) are really good!!! Even though, I don't understand most of the dialogue and had to look at the subs, I can feel their feelings way better than the dubbed ones.

Seraphine, I can give you a broad outline on each season of SM (there are 5) but if you want the episode synopsis, you have to go to here. It contains the full story.
Sailor Moon is Tsukino Usagi
Sailor Mercury is Mizuno Ami
Sailor Mars is Hino Rei
Sailor Jupiter is Kino Makoto
Sailor Venus is Aino Minako

Sailor Moon - 1st season which tells the awakening of the Sailor Team consisting of (in the order of discovering each other) Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and finally Venus. Usagi saves a black cat with a cresent patch, discovers that she is one of the guardians of the Silver Millennium and her duty to find and protect the Moon princess, which is herself (but she realised it after quite a long time). The baddie in this series is Queen Beryl, the evil queen who was responsible for the destruction of Silver Millennium. In this series, Usagi (Sailor Moon) falls for Mamoru (Tuxedo Kamen who was the prince of Earth).

Sailor Moon R - 2nd season. Two parts.
1. About some tree spirits who absorbed human essence in order to retrieve a huge demonic tree that gives them life. (can't really remember it haha) Of course, Sailor Team defeats them.

2. ChibiUsa comes to Usagi's household and becomes her cousin. (She sort of memerised the family into believing she is part of the family, except that she didn't trick Usagi). And after sometimes, it turned out that ChibiUsa came from the 30th century, escaping a great castastrophe that caused her mother to be in cold sleep. The reason she came was to find the silver crystal (which Sailor Moon has) and of course, the baddie came from the future as well (Black Moon people). After sometimes...(it happens that way all the time) Usagi and gang then realised ChibiUsa was the future daughter of Usagi and Mamoru. Oh yeah, and Sailor Pluto appeared as well (can't remember the details but she was the one who guided ChibiUsa to 20th century as she was the Time Guardian and acted as her guardian)
Sailor Chibi Moon - Tsukino Usagi (ChibiUsa)

Sailor Moon Super - 3rd season. Arrival of two unknown senshi (Sailor Uranus and Neptune) who were searching for 3 Talismans which is inside 3 pure heart crystals of the purest hearts. The baddies, the Death Busters, were after the Talismans too. If the pure heart crystal containing the talismans is extracted out from a person, that person will die if it is not returned to them. In the 3rd episode, Usagi and Minako met this cute guy, Haruka in the arcade. They saw him with a pretty girl, Michiru, and followed them, saying both of them looked like a perfect couple. However the two separated and Minako, Usagi decided to find out if those two are a couple or not (because they got a crush on Haruka and you know girls :lol: ) This is one especially funny episode because they only realised Haruka is a girl at the end of the episode. And you should know by now
Sailor Uranus - Tenoh Haruka
Sailor Neptune - Kaioh Michiru
Sailor Pluto - Meioh Setsuna
The Sailor Team and Sailor Uranus/Neptune are not on good terms. Then after a while, they discovered each other true identites and it turns out that Haruka and Michiru were the owners of the pure heart crystal that contained the Talismans. (one sad episode) But all is well in the end and they managed to summon the Holy Grail which when the good side has it will restore peace and light while if the bad side has it, destruction of the world will happen.
ChibiUsa comes to the 20th century again and befriends Hotaru, a sickly but kind girl. And as you know...she turns out to be
Sailor Saturn - Tomoe Hotaru
the one rumoured to bring destruction of the world...

Sailor Moon Super S - 4th season which focus mainly the Inner senshi (Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus) and Sailor Chibi Moon. The outer (Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Pluto) do not appear in this season. I am not very sure about this season because I haven't seen it myself :razz: but I do know that it is about a flying horse and its 'romance' with ChibiUsa and the baddie is Queen Neherenia of the Dark Moon.

Sailor Moon Sailor Stars - last season. 2 parts.
1. About the revival of Queen Neherenia by someone "unknown" yet. Outer senshi appeared to join forces with Inner senshi.
2. About the "unknown" force which threatened the peace Tokyo and the appearances of 3 mysterious sailor senshi and Three Lights, a super pop idol group, who came and studied at Usagi's school. The inner senshi were smittened by the three boys. Boy oh boy, one of the most "watchable" pair in this season - Seiya and Haruka (They sure hate each other like hell because Seiya flirted with Michiru and Haruka was way jealous) Minako sort of likes Yaten and Ami likes Taiki....as it turns out they were girls in their true forms
Sailor Star Fighter - Seiya Kou
Sailor Star Maker - Taiki Kou
Sailor Star Healer - Yaten Kou
:lol: ok, the baddie is Sailor Galaxia who aims to collect the Star seeds of all sailor senshi to rule the Universe. One ring to rule them all!!! oops :lol: So there you go, all senshi except Sailor Moon and the StarLights died after their star seeds was taken away. (sad sad sad the last few episodes were real sad)....To be continued....

OK that should sum up all...*looks up* :o Long post eh...haha

Choki - u got our thread renamed!!! YEY!!!!! :grin: We are like hosts of this thread now! hehe

Speaking of Sailor Moon. Long long time ago, when I was still young ^-^ lol. I made a webpage with summeries and lil clips from Sailor Moon. Well part of that page (Season 3-5) exists!!!

http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/can ... /moon.html

Its pretty bad summery i think - but I still like the little gif clips :)

that site is soo old, i cant believe its still standing -_- they deleted most of it...that is all that survived ^-^

Anyway,
CHoki - u r so lucky :) u dont get ripped off for the DVDs The DVD here costs like $26 and majority have no more then 2-3 episodes.

I think that Galaxy Angel is dubbed ^^' Most of DVDs are dubbed actually. I dont mind though - a lot of them are good lately, cause I guess they are tired of fans complaining.

Yes, we are the new masters of this anime thread! (mistresses sound a bit weird) :evil grin: I have an absolute evil plan now...our titles (Slytherin Prefect, Hogwarts Librarian and Milady of the Night) + (Gryffindor Prefect and Silent Guardian Of Stars) seems a little less evil :devilish grin:
Add-on(s)? ;)

Lol, at least you know how to do a website. I know nuts about that!

US$26 for 2-3 episodes!!! :eek: Mine is around US$11 for a DVD - 8,9 epsiodes. At least, cars in US is way cheaper than in Singapore. :-?

Choki, thank you, you're irreplaceable! Now I know that I've seen all the seasons, not all the episodes, though. If it all ended, why did you write "to be continued"? And why were all that "seeds" taken away? What are they? And ONE MORE REQUEST: does anyone have a source in which I could find images of all the Sailors? Can remember "Inner" ones, not able to distinguish Saturn from Neptun and remember nothing of "Star Sailors". Oh, and what was really about - death of Serenity - was it in the future on in the past? And why did she die? Wow, that is interesting. And the last episode of the last season ends with Usagi standing in the middle of some damaged area, petals floating all around the Earth, right?

OK, now I've found out. Everything. I can distinguish them now. Some new questions were born :grin: : where did chibi chibi come from and who was that princess whose name was ending with "yee"?

I wrote to be continued because my season summaries didn't fully include the endings. For example, in Sailor Stars, Sailor Moon managed to defeat Sailor Galaxia and revived the fallen senshi.

Chibi Chibi first appeared falling from the sky with an umbrella. Usagi met this little girl and Chibi chibi followed Usagi and with some magic (just like ChibiUsa) hookwinded the Tsukino household into believing she is their youngest daughter. As it turned out much later, Chibi chibi was the star seed of Sailor Galaxia whom sent her pure star seed out into the galaxy to find someone who is 'warm' just before Chaos (evil entity) took over Sailor Galaxia. The anime version and the manga version are not exactly the same in the origin of Chibichibi and the rest of the non-solar system senshi.

As for the princess whose name ended with "yee"...is there such a character??? Maybe it is Princess Kakyuu - the Princess of FireBall who was protected by Sailor Starlights (much the same way Sailor Moon - Princess Selenity was protected by the rest)

If I remember correctly, the ending scene of the last season goes something like this
Usagi, Mamoru, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako and the two cats say their goodbyes to Seiya, Taiki, Yaten and Princess Kakyuu on a rooftop. Yaten says goodbye to Luna, to much of the cat's delight! Seiya confesses to Usagi but the girl doesn't get the hint :lol: Seiya then tells Mamoru to take good care of Usagi and don't make her cry ever again, or else he (or a she) will come back. Then the Three Lights transform into their senshi form and disappear with their Princess back to their planet, Kinmoku.
3 shooting stars streak across the night sky and the four outer senshi stood by Haruka's car. Hotaru starts to ask Setsuna what wish did she made upon the shooting star but Setsuna says it's a secret. Michiru says that they can finally go back to their home and Haruka nods. Hotaru then asks the same question to her papa and mama (Haruka and Michiru by the way) and Michiru answers there is no need for any wish because they are the happiest now. Haruka agrees. (HOW SWEET!)
Usagi and Mamoru stand on a balcony and under the big moon, they kiss.
Ending dialogue - "I'm Tsukino Usagi, 16 years old, in first year of high school. I'm a little clumsy, and a little bit of a cry baby. But actually, I'm the fighter for love and justice, Sailor Moon."

~The End~

Any more questions? Ask the experts of anime! :lol:

Kakyuu, right. Sorry, couldn't remember that one. Didn't someone say that sailors were to die?
It seems I haven't seen all the seasons - no idea who Kakyuu and those... "Star sailors", right? But I've found some old cassettes of mine on which I recorded about 3 episodes from 3 series of Sailor Moon! Watched it all. Unfortunately, my recordings ended on the episode before "Master of Big Silence" was defeated and Hotaru turned into Sailor Saturn. Could you tell me how it happened? Thank you for everything. And sorry - I feel I'm exploiting you, aren't I?

Haha, not to worry. I don't feel like being exploited :lol:

Hotaru turned into Mistress Nine after she swallowed ChibiUsa's pure heart crystal. The sailor senshi then realised it was Mistress Nine who was trying to destroy Earth and not Sailor Saturn. The building of Mugen High (Infinity High) crumbled and the sailor senshi escaped in time. Mamoru kept ChibiUsa alive by giving her, his lifeforce. The Outer senshi and the Inner senshi went separate ways to stop Mistress Nine. The Outers were determined to destroy Mistress Nine even if it meant that they had to kill Hotaru. The Inners, especially Sailor Moon, wanted to prevent the tragedy. However, only Sailor Moon was able to get into the shielded building as Mistress Nine, who needed the Holy Grail, grabbed her through a dimension opening. The Inners could only remained outside and formed a shield/barrier using their body and spirit to stop the daimons from going out of the zone. The Outers, flying in a helicopter, discovered an Star shaped opening in the top and decided to enter. However, the daimons crashed into their helicopter and caused it to explode in mid-air. Sailor Pluto managed to stop Time and thus, saving Uranus and Neptune lifes. But she, herself, lost her life because she used a forbidden spell - Stopping Time. Hotaru's father, Professor Tomoe was able to regain his control of his body after the daimon left him under Mistress Nine's command to stop the intruders. Uranus and Neptune defeated all the daimons using the Talismans and proceeded to the main hall where Mistress Nine was. Meanwhile, Sailor Moon was being 'blasted' by Mistress Nine because she refused to hand over the Holy Grail which Mistress Nine needed to summon her master, Pharaoh Ninety. Sailor Uranus and Neptune arrived and intended to destroy Mistress Nine. They hit her with their combined powers however, Sailor Moon stood right in the path of the attacks and protected Mistress Nine. She believed Hotaru was still alive. With the slight distraction, Mistress Nine got hold of Uranus and Neptune and forced Sailor Moon to surrender the Holy Grail. Uranus warned Sailor Moon not to give it to her and Mistress Nine reacted by strangling Neptune. Neptune, too, told Sailor Moon not to give in or she will lose all respect for her. Being as who she was, Sailor Moon held out both her hands and tried to summon the Holy Grail. At this point, Professor Tomoe crawled to Mistress Nine and called out for Hotaru. Mistress Nine strangled him as he continued. Hotaru conscious in Mistress Nine answered. Mistress struggled over the control of the body. At this point, Uranus yelled out for Sailor Moon to kill the girl, but she refused. It seemed that Hotaru had overcome Mistress Nine and asked her father for the Holy Grail which she needed in order to stay alive. Sailor Moon was determined to help her and so she summoned the Holy Grail and handed it to Hotaru (still in Mistress Nine form). The moment she reached out for the Grail, a bindling light flashed and she laughed. She wasn't Hotaru at all. Mistress Nine threw the Grail into a Black Hole, shattering the Holy Grail and caused a black nebula to come closer to Earth - the planet of Death Busters. With that, the Silence began. Suddenly, a beam blasted at Mistress Nine. It was Pharaoh Ninety. Professor Tomoe ran toward Mistress Nine and shielded her. But he remained unhurt. In front of them, stood Sailor Moon who protected the both by taking the full blast head-on. She fell to her knees, severely injured. Tomoe held onto the unconscious Mistress Nine and called out for his daughter. This time, Hotaru answered and with the true awakening of Sailor Saturn, she finally destroyed Mistress Nine. However, Hotaru's body disintegrated, leaving a faint sign of Saturn which faded away too. Back at Mamoru's house, the soul of Sailor Saturn appeared and handed ChibiUsa's heart crystal. Hotaru bid goodbye to her best friend. The Silence ravaged across the surroundings while Sailor Moon, Uranus and Neptune stood, looking in despair. Sailor Saturn reappeared and thanked Sailor Moon for protecting her body. She continued, saying she was the only one who was capable of destroying Pharaoh Ninety as she was given the ability to destroy a planet and when she used the power of death, she can't escape as well. Sailor Moon wanted to assist her but Sailor Saturn stopped her, saying that Sailor Moon without the second transformation (which can be done if the Grail still exist) was not powerful enough. With that, Sailor Saturn entered the centre of the Silence. Sailor Moon tried to enter the Silence but was thrown out. She cried at her powerless state and kept on shouting out her second transformation phrase even though it was useless. The rest of the senshi looked at Sailor Moon and felt her real emotion. All their powers came together and Sailor Moon shouted for one last time. She began to transformed as her pure heart crystal came out of her body and she succeeded in entering the zone. (Holy Grail was the purest object in the World and the only substitute was a heart crystal that was even purer than it - in this case, Usagi's one) Pharaoh Ninety was finally destroyed and Silence ceased. Sailor Moon (in near unconscious state) reappeared, holding an infant in her arms. Hotaru had used her powers and died but was reborn immediately, thanks to Sailor Moon. By right the story should end here but Haruka and Michiru took Baby Hotaru away before the rest came looking for Usagi. They took care of Hotaru for a while before returning her to Soichi Tomoe who lost most of his memory after the incident but remembered his daughter. Haruka and Michiru finally accepted Usagi as their princess after Usagi won a fight against them. ChibiUsa stayed on in the 20th century and met Baby Hotaru once again.

Choki, speaking of free anime, I accidently got hooked on a NotFree anime >_<

It called Twelve Kingdoms, and I cannot see anyone not liking it. THis is not a 13insh anime, its quite mature. The story is sooooo cool - I feel like I was reading a book! Juuni Kokki is a japanese name for it...i think..

The only bad thing about this anime is - its costs money! but its soooo good!!!! I wish they would have a book like that.

Also, There is another anime that I really really liked!! - its called Pretear. Have u heared of it? Its an extremely beautiful anime. I only saw 1 episode but the story was sort of like MagicKnights Rayearth crossed with Cinderella. but very interesting.

Both of these are very popular Animes....i need more money....-_- I already spent too much... noooo

You are welcome Seraphine :grin:

Mint, I have heard of Twelve Kingdoms....something about erm...some girl and guy got into an ancient world and becomes queen or king??? Or wait...was it about some unicorn guardian business...I'm confused now...

Pretear...hmmmm...never heard of it :lol: shoujo eh? Haha I got too much of nonfree anime that's why I need free anime :razz: Well, actually, because most of the series I want, is not available anywhere yet. For example, Sailor Moon Live Action (I think the series is based on the manga not the anime and they look normal with black hair :lol: )
