Miss Dream

by Koji Yoshimoto

When I was in high school, I used to buy the magazine Nakayoshi. That was when the Sailor Moon series began. Later, I got married and had a daughter, who grew up loving Sailor Moon. It became a special bond between us(father and daughter). She loved Naoko Takeuchi so much that she entered the same university as her and even completed graduate school there. Of course, as many fans know, that university is also where Mamoru Chiba and Setsuna Meioh studied.

I don't really have much to say except... I think of Sailor Moon and the whole series in general finding it all amazing. Seeing anything Sailor Moon related whether it be the manga or even fan art makes me happy. And I know I'm not alone. <3 Savannah R Happel

It has changed my view on anime as a whole and I love Sailor moon for that. (Also all the characters are cute)

Compare d to others Im a little new to Sailor Moon but I love this anime so much! I may sound simple but I love the relationships between the inner senshi and I adore the how each one have their own personality and the sailor costumes are so cute! I love how Usagi has her flaws but she still do her best, I love how Rei and Makoto are strong And I love the casual outfits everyone wears they look super cute!! And I love the moral message from the chapters and how everything revolves around friendship and love Sailor Moon has been like terapy for me, days were I have a bad day with so much stress a chapter for this wonderful series has been able to calm me or cheer me up. I have problems expressing my emotions unable to cry and even then this anime has make cry from beatiful chapters like 45 and 46. I love this series so much I look forward to continue watching it and I love seeing how it has impacted other peoples lives. !Por el poder del cristal lunar!

I’ve been a Sailor Moon fan since my bestie introduced me to the series in 2005. One day she was making Sailor Moon Valentine’s Day cards and I asked her to tell me about the characters. I was immediately drawn to the miracle romance between Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion. She let me borrow her VHS tapes of the three movies, my favorite was the R movie because it featured Princess Serenity on the cover. During the Summer of 2011 I finally watched Sailor Moon subbed along with the Dic/Cloverway dub and the live action series PGSM. Around this time the manga was being rereleased in English and I loved reading Codename Sailor V and the rest of the Sailor Moon manga series. Sailor Moon helped me meet some of my best friends. Sailor Moon was my first anime it has lead me to check out other magical girl anime series as well. In my area I’m known as the local Sailor Moon girl. I often find Sailor Moon merchandise at local thrift stores for reasonable prices. I love collecting Sailor Moon merchandise. This year I got to go see the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon The Super Live musical which was an amazing experience. Hearing classic songs like Moonlight Densetsu and La Soldier performed live was surreal. My favorite Sailor Moon item in my collection is this vintage Korean Sailor Moon musical jewelry box which I found at a thrift store last year.: https://youtube.com/shorts/ieTeBL4-NSM?si=_mHcjW1iywNHPxHf Sailor Moon’s messages of love and friendship will stick with me forever.

If I can say sailor moon influenced me in any way, I could say it made me stop being pessimistic, I went through at least 7 years of my life being completely cynical and generally a more agressive person. I had even stopped watching anime because I wanted to be negative for the whole medium and didn't want to associate myself with them. 2 things happened that changed me one was the book anne of the green gables and magical girl shows and sailor moon was what completely changed me. I had watched season 1, 12 years ago and don't remember enjoying it much but then I continued from R(and the manga) and I actually loved it every moment of the show the characters and witht he final episode and la soldier playing I knew It would be one of my favorite anime. Then I watched the R movie and that became one of my favorite movies ever I even wrote an analysis on it(https://letterboxd.com/georgepriftakis/film/sailor-moon-r-the-movie-the-promise-of-the/ ) and made greek subs. I am working to sync the Greek dub with better HD raws now and I can say I am a happier person and with all the knowledge I got from that I even landed a better job on a tv station and I am way happier now. The show marks a big change in my life.

I always had sailormoon toys since I was a baby, sailormoon always helps me when I'm going through hardship and always makes me feel at home.

It has inspired to let me learn more about Anime than what I could have.

Sailor Moon has been a major part of life, specifically, my teenage years. I was (still am) an introverted person. I collected Sailor Moon playing cards, the Mixx Comics/Tokypop manga and drew Sailor Moon all the time. I listened to the Memorial Music Box on my CD player in the 2000s all the time! My favorite track is Senshi no Shukumei from the S OST. Although my Sailor Moon experience was solitary as an adult I have connected with the community online! I feel like my personality, demeanor, and being an elder millenial aligns with Sailor Pluto yet I very much love and aspire to be a good friend like Usagi/Sailor Moon.

My story is a bit of an odd one. Sailor Moon came out when i was 7 years old, and at the time, I wanted to watch it, but since I was a boy in the 90's... I was affraid of getting bullied for liking a girls show. So I only managed to catch some episodes in secret every once in a while. So Sailor Moon basically became my first sign that I had a particular love for magical girl shows, that fully blossomed later on with shows like Card Captor Sakura. Years later, I always respected the influence Sailor Moon had on the genre, and eventually got around to watch it and become a proper fan of it. Eventually I decided to help out with the subreddit since I knew it was in trouble and I love the magical girl genre so much that I wanted to do my part to help our community in general. So while Sailor Moon wasn't exactly a staple of my childhood like others, It still had a big influence on me and i'm very grateful to what it achieved for anime and magical girls in general!

Sailor Moon has always made me happy, and frequently led to friendships throughout my life - whether striking up conversations because of a cool shirt or Sailor Moon tattoo in person, or winding up at the Takarazuka OG's Chicago show in NYC with tumblr friends after falling down a rabbit hole after seeing the SM musicals (that I believe I only saw thanks to Miss Dream!). It's just always been a fun cheerful thing I know I can turn to!

My first encounter with Sailor Moon was when I was 7/8 years old, when it was broadcast on US TV in the morning before school. I've always been a late sleeper (like Usagi!) but I forced myself to get up early to watch my new obsession. I anxiously awaited my 14th birthday, when my cat would suddenly begin to speak and grant me magical powers. My teenage years came and went without any cosmic feline miracles, but the lessons learned remained. First: being passionate about something makes you a more well-rounded person - from Ami's studious nature, to Makoto's baking, Rei's religious fervor, Haruka's racing, Michiru's musical pursuits, etc. But there is also nothing wrong with being a casual fan - Usagi's love of the Sailor V video game is no less valid simply because she's not very good at it. Second: a colorful outfit can turn your day around! Sparkles optional, drip is mandatory. Third: new obstacles are going to present themselves no matter how powerful you are, and old obstacles can re-emerge to challenge you once again. Defeating these 'youma' is the only way forward. Lastly: the world will always contain evil, it is in the very essence of its creation. The darkness of Chaos within the Galaxy Cauldron may look seemingly endless, but rest assured that there will always be a glimmer of light. The world will also always contain goodness and love, hope and healing, beauty and joy. Do not allow yourself to fall into despair, even if it means re-inventing your universe.

I'd really say the most important lesson of Sailor Moon is to love and accept all. Usagi does, so we can too! It's such an iconic series and has always been near and dear to my heart. From the first time watching it on VHS with my first grade best friend, to now, getting to watch the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Super Live in person.(which I never thought would come to America!). I've met so many beautiful moonies along the way. The Meet and Greet with Terri Hawkes at Collect-a-Con in Dallas was a privilege and a pivotal moment in my life, as well. She's everything I thought she would be and more! As such an iconic voice of my childhood and as such an accomplished voice actress, she's absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Even now, I'm still collecting figures, art books, cosplaying the characters I love, merchandise, etc. I'm blessed to love and enjoy this series wholeheartedly. ♥️

Ever since I was a young girl I’ve loved sailor moon. This series has impacted my life immensely. Sailor moon has taught me how to embrace being a woman who doesn’t need a man to save her. Sailor moon has helped me embrace my feminity. I love how sailor moon has strong female MCs. We don’t see this representation often. I also love the lgbtq representation, as a person apart of the community too. It also taught me to treat others with kindness no matter what. Sailor moon is my favorite thing in the world and I think about this series everyday. I love this series and it’s amazing.

There were times when life felt unbearably heavy when I didn’t know where to find comfort or hope. That’s when Sailor Moon was there. It wasn’t just the transformations or battles. It was Usagi’s kindness, Minako’s courage, the warmth of friendship, and the reminder that even when the world feels cruel, you can still choose love. These stories became my safe place. They gave me light when I needed it most and taught me that strength isn’t about perfection and it’s about compassion. Minako embodies that for me. A girl who falls, laughs, gets back up, and keeps loving anyway. Through her, I learned that it’s okay to be soft and strong at the same time.

by Blake Milner

Sailor Moon has made me an overall happier person, I used to get really hung up on my own flaws/mistakes, Sailor Moon's endless compassion taught me that to love yourself and strive to be the best version of you that you can be! The series shows the girls going through turmoil and strife, but the always pull through in the end with determined looks, strong friendships, and cool new powers.

Well it all started in 1995 when I first watched Sailor Moon on Saturday morning. I instantly fell in love I remember I started watching it because Sailor Mars reminded me of my 11 years older sister. She is the fire that protects and keeps warm. So back then my sister had left the house my protector and I had just gone through terrible things at the hands of my biological grandfather and my mom's bad mental health issues. Sailor Moon was an anchor in my life at the time. The Sailor Moon vanished and came back in 1999 on Toonami once again Sailor Moon helped with my growing up as a teenager including figuring out my own sexual preference. Yes it was that scene between Usagi and Rei where Rei comforts Usagi due to Chibiusa turning to black lady well it made me realize hey is ok to like both boys and girls. This was my moment of recognizing that. I had gotten bullied for watching Sailor Moon being called a lesbian at my school it a. Wasn't their thing to tell and b..I wasn't ready to come out to anyone. Then later on in 2014 Sailor Moon came back as Sailor Moon Crystal. I fell in love again bought the manga just delve deeper and bought merch and things to collect the anime that had helped me in so many ways so many times. I've met some of the new voice actresses and in 2015 Linda Ballentyne helped me through messenger through a difficult moment. To Say Sailor Moon as a whole show has not been a super comfort is tiny in comparison I even made new friends even a very close one.
