not available in Canada

Darn it. That is tough. I do not know why Viz does not have them available in Canada. I found a story from Comic Book Resources last month on the top 10 things that was wrong or ''worst'' about the 1990s ''Sailor Moon'' Anime. that got me wondering which things would you have changed about the original ''Sailor Moon'' Anime? Fillers for example compared to ''Sailor Moon Crystal'', the original Anime has far more of them. Now with technology ''Sailor Moon'' easier for people to see generally at least than in the 1990s where watching episodes on T.V. or buying V.H.S. tapes were the only I believe ways to watch ''Sailor Moon''.

There was also a longer time to wait between episodes being able for people to see back then. These days of episodes can be released within a few weeks of the Pilot.

There is then the difference between Haruka & Michiru's relationship from back then to more recent years. That censorship was a black mark no doubt that some Anime fans have not forgiven I think.

From what I understand, Japanese culture references were removed from the American release of ''Sailor Moon''.

Finally, the censoring of character arcs & relationships is 1 of the least favourite things about what happened to ''Sailor Moon'' Anime is 1 of the biggest issues that fans have of it.

Some of this I knew about being censored, but I did not know that Japanese culture references were removed. That just seems unnecessary.

missed it.

canflam

Yeah. I did not know it was her birthday on Saturday until yesterday. Hope that she had a good one.

MsPerfectionist

i'm terrible when it comes to birthdays

Arrakis

Happy birthday to her.

canflam

Yes. By the way, Sailor Mars birthday is on April 17th.

dracarys

Didn't know that was her birthday

canflam

Yes. Here is a list of ''Sailor Moon'' characters' birthdates that I have found online:

Moon – June 30, 1978
Mercury – September 10, 1978
Mars – April 17, 1978
Jupiter – December 5, 1978
Venus – October 22, 1978
Neptune – March 6, 1978
Uranus – January 27, 1978
Pluto – October 29, 1976
Saturn – January 6, 1981
Chibi/Mini Moon – June 30, ????
Tuxedo Mask – August 3, 1975
Star Healer – February 8, 1979
Star Maker – May 30, 1979
Star Fighter – July 30, 1979

So, with Chibi in Black Moon she's 900, in Infinity she's either 901 or 902 I think, in Dreams she's 902, in Stars Arc she's 902 or 903 &

dracarys

^ Thanks for sharing the birth dates, as a person who's strongly interested in astrology, these dates fascinate me.

canflam

Yes. Their Zodiac dates relate to the planets that their powers are from.

dracarys

Agreed, makes sense Usagi is a cancer considering how emotional she can get and Rei is clearly an Aries with how quickly she loses her temper

canflam

That is because in part she is an Aries? I did not know that. Tomorrow/April 17th is Rei's birthday.
