![]() ![]() Like, one, when we were watching it in the '90s, we got, like, the edited version. LAWRENCE: I think it's a couple of things. What do you think it is about Usagi, the rest of the Sailor Scouts that keeps getting people drawn into the show? You can go to the mall, which automatically makes me feel quite old, and you're going to see "Sailor Moon" merchandise at stores. SUMMERS: You and I both watched this show back in the '90s, and it is just really striking to me that even now, years removed, there is this new generation of fans who are coming up and enjoying the show. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #1: (As Sailor Moon) Moon Tiara Action. ![]() And so the monster's distracted, and she's able to actually use her tiara attack and finish off the monster. ![]() LAWRENCE: And the crying is so loud that it creates, like, a supersonic wave. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #1: (As Sailor Moon) Yeah, maybe not, but I can't help it. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #3: (As Tuxedo Mask) Sailor Moon, you have to remember that crying isn't going to solve any of your problems. LAWRENCE: Your first fight is your best friend's mom, and she just kind of crumbles on the ground, and she doesn't know what to do. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #2: (As character) Just hurry up and do it. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #1: (As Sailor Moon) But why would I want to do that? What's going to happen? UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #2: (As character) Throw your tiara at her and yell Moon Tiara Action. The cat doesn't really give you that many details. There's a cat that tells you that you have to save the world. And so I rewatched "Sailor Moon" while I was writing it, and I was like, oh, my God, I understand why she's crying. And I was just like, wait, why do I - why do I have to push myself to the breaking point to get things done? Why can't I, like, take my time? I actually am working on a book series about magical girls. And then, like, I got older, and I got tired (laughter). LAWRENCE: And so I was like, yeah, why are you complaining? You're supposed to save the world. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #2: (As character) What do you think you're doing, Sailor Moon? You have to fight back. LAWRENCE: I think when I was younger, it annoyed me because I was projecting what other people would say. SUMMERS: And you wrote that her crying - that it used to annoy you. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #1: (As Sailor Moon, crying) I want to go home now. SUMMERS: And one of Sailor Moon's personality traits - right? - is that she cries a lot. But as she's grown up, that's changed.īRIANA LAWRENCE: Now I'm like, Sailor Moon's my favorite because she, like - she's the hero, but also she's like, I deserve to eat cake every now and then if I feel like it because I'm saving the world all the time and I deserve this break. I started by asking her about her favorite "Sailor Moon" character, and she told me that when she was a kid, it was Sailor Jupiter. Briana Lawrence is fandom editor at The Mary Sue and a longtime fan of the show. And tasks her with fighting evil supernatural forces with the rest of the Sailor Scouts. Now, Usagi lives a pretty normal schoolgirl life until she meets a talking cat who helps her unlock her magic powers. ![]() In the English version, her name is Serena. SUMMERS: "Sailor Moon" is the magical alter ego of 14-year-old Usagi Tsukino. "Sailor Moon" premiered in Japan 30 years ago this month.īRYNNE PRICE AND NICOLE PRICE: (Singing) She is the one named Sailor Moon.
