Gateway Anime; What Was Yours?

At least I'm not doing drugs. I had seen anime before but I didn't realise the difference between everyday cartoons and the world of anime until I was going through my sister's hard drive. She had the first season of the original Sailor Moon anime series. I watched it, not in order, but I watched it all. At the local library you were given 200mb of data for each internet slip. And almost everyday after I watched the first season, I would go down and watch an episode on YouTube after school.

As I tried to remember the name of the artist I just listened to the soft intro and thought it was different from most openings which show a lot more of the anime plot and characters in...

Sailor Moon SuperS

This part of the movie really seemed to get to me because it's the first time I'd seen Usagi truly terrified. I felt that this was a really strong Mother & Daughter moment, one they don't seem you've much. They're more like siblings. I also really live the song playing during this scene hahaha Poupelin's Flute. "Sanji no yousei" Also, the look on Usagi's face in the last frame says it all. It was fierce determination.
