<div class="IPBDescription">I have witnessed the horror!</div> Hi. Remember <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=10&t=47482' target='_blank'>this</a>? Well, last night at <a href='http://jafwa.asn.au/' target='_blank'>JAFWA</a>, during the dinner break, they showed us the first episode. You see, the dinner break is reserved for random crap which is tangentially related to anime.
It was absolutely hillarious. It looked like... a well-made amateur production. The special effects were so bad they were funny.
The best part, however, was the big bad monster for the episode, which was some person who, in monster form, had a giant looks-like-a-water-elemental overlayed on the top half of their body. Anyway, the first time the heroine and her talking stuffed cat see the thing, the cat yells:
"It's a tentacle monster! Run!"
The entire audience burst out laughing, and started clapping <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->.
Then there were the subtitles during the ads, which were apparently deliberately a bit off:
"Buy our stuff, then you too can transform just like Sailor Moon! (actual transormation not guarunteed)".
So yeah. Very bizzare.

You also know those times when your spit runs down your throat the wrong way? yeah, that too.
I nearly died.
I'm gonna sue!

/chestburster scene #163A - Alien soon commits sucide by drinking it's own acidic blood after watching the first 5 seconds of the movie.
Yup.
The plot was something about some fashion show on with the models showing off these diamonds, and the 3v1l d00ds were trying to steal their attachment to the diamonds, or something. No, not the diamonds themselves - their passion for material goods. Or something. I wasn't really paying attention.
Oh, yeah, forgot another detail: after fighting with the water elemental (or "tentacle monster", if you'd prefer. That is what they referred to it as, I'm not kidding <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->) one baddie throws a knife at Sailor Moon (much to the delight of the audience) which some silly bugger in a tophat and a silver mask blocks (much to the disappointment of the audience), who turns out to be Tuxedo Mask.
And... at the start, the stuffed cat thingy turns up and tells whatever-her-name-is that she's destined to be a Guardian of something-or-other. I think maybe it's the same course of events as the first episode of the anime?
Anyways, it definately wasn't an edited adult movie. There was camerawork which looked very wierd, but would look less wierd as anime (such as Sailor Moon thiking about the people she's encountered so far, and the scene suddenly shifting to said people, with a white background and mist everywhere, while she continues to talk to herself about it).

Bwah hah hah hah!
/me imagines a Pikachu trying to kill the math teacher
You ever notice in some anime I've seen, they never have school? In Pokemon, they'd always walk past these little schools and show them cool stuff but geez the guy is like 12!
<b>JAPANESE DON'T HAVE HAIR THAT'S ANY COLOR BUT JET BLACK, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!</b>
(Of course, with the exception of balding, and greying with age)
Yeah I know you can. But it's funny how in every anime only about 10% of the characters actually have normal-colored hair. I can't imagine real Japan is like going to a punk rock rave.
And god, they dont' even LOOK GOOD in BLONDE.

Maybe that's why anime characters rarely have black hair.

I agree, redhead is the way to go.
Go go raver chicks!

Raver chicks usually go Pink I think. Temp, I don't know about all that color stuff... I guess it's just to differ the characters that are the exact same[Sailor Venus/Mars etc.] and to look good.
Uh Oops.....
Hey look over there!

Yes, and that's why in anime almost no-one has black hair. Anime is fiction generally; it's a break from reality. Thus why put the same hair colour you see every single day into it? Might also explain why almost all anime characters have huge round eyes and large breasts.
Plus telling characters apart is a lot easier if you have differant hair colours.
as for the show itself -- yes, it was pretty horrific. I hated myself for thinking the stuffed cat was cute, though.
Yes, that <i>was</i> just the translator having fun. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

OMG! My Company Mascot is cool!
[/NOTTOBETAKENSERIOUSLY]
Anyway, I will not be buying the Live Action Sailor moon DVD's because they will not come out over here. Unless of course theres a sekrat Sailor Moon society that forces everyone to watch it or something.
