Movie Trivia: Sailor Moon R

I wrote up some trivia about the Sailor Moon R film, namely it’s connection with the TV series. Out of the three original films, R seems to be the only one that directly references the main TV series continuity. Whether it’s truly canon or not is up for debate, but it definitely feels as though it adds an extra layer to the original TV series.

Check it out!

al aqsa mosque this morning, one of the holiest sites of islam, and during the holiest month

western news sources are calling what took place here “clashes”

tell me - do you see a clash of equal forces? or do you see israeli soldiers pushing elderly grandparents down stairs, beating women unprovoked, firing live ammunition and grenades inside a place of worship, and worshippers ducking for cover as soldiers indiscriminately fire at them?

may the occupation and it’s lies and evils come to an end.

The Gas Station Attendant, Chapter 1: an Urban Legend fanfic

Part 2 ->

It’s the Michelle Mancini x Michael McDonnell story no one asked for, but you all secretly wanted! Buckle up, kids, because Urban Legend just changed from a thriller to a romance! Starring: characters who were only in the first 5-minutes of the movie! 

Chapter 1: 4,291 words, PG-13

Nothing but dial tone buzzed through the telephone receiver in the cluttered gas station office. I knew, before I ever lifted it to my ear with faltering hope, that there would be no credit card company on the line. I knew all along. The lock clicked into place behind me with a jangle of his keys, confirming everything I suspected. My pulse rang in my ears, like I was standing under a waterfall.

He lied.

What was 80s shoujo like as a whole?

Modern. I think the 80s is when we go from the stereotype of the "retro shojo manga" to something we might look back on today and perceive to be "modern". (No value judgement implied with those words, since I like retro shojo a lot.)

Some comparisons from the same publishers/magazines:

70s

80s

70s

80s

70s

80s

This isn’t specific to shojo manga, though, since manga in general went through a similar change, e.g. shonen manga:

Another way 80s shojo might be perceived as more “modern” is how shojo moved away from fantastically “historical” and/or fantastically “western” settings and began to explore contemporary settings, including contemporary Japanese settings the readers could more directly relate to. As Japan developed and became a modern superpower, the Japanese people’s perception of themselves also changed, making contemporary settings more interesting and acceptably “fashionable”, and this trend created what we perceive to be the mainstream of shojo manga today, i.e. “ordinary Japanese school girls and their ordinary school and love lives”. (Not that this type of manga didn’t exist at all in the 70s, plenty of this type of manga was actually written which led directly into the 80s, but the titles we now consider influential in the history of manga were Not That.)
