Debunking the Myth of Naoko Takeuchi having "no friends".

A popular “wholesome meme” that has been periodically making the rounds over the last few years is a screenshot image of the text “Let's celebrate Naoko Takeuchi. She was a struggling artist when she created Sailor Moon. 'I was at a low place, so I write about girls I wished were my friends.'”

In the age of easily shareable, bite-sized quotes on social media, it's easy to get hooked into a feel-good, wholesome meme. So of course whenever this specific image is posted, it tends to go viral and spread like wildfire. It's been shared online probably thousands of times, everywhere from Facebook to Reddit to Twitter, and people share it because, well, Sailor Moon is important to its fans, and this seems like the underdog story of the century, right???

Except that all signs point to it being not true. At all.

Happy Valentine's!

Happy Valentine's Day, friends! And for those who don't celebrate, happy half-off chocolates day eve!

Old-school Valentines are back!

It’s the return of the old-school anime Valentine cards! Yes, I’m back again this year with more cheesy puns for your Valentine needs. Save & print any card individually at the podcast's tumbr here, or you can print them all as one sheet using this large combined image here! Happy Valentine's!

Happy New Year! (Hey, it’s still January!) The first ep of 2017 is here! I’m joined by my friend Tricia (aka boobly) to watch Sailor Moon R: The Movie as it was shown in US theaters, then wax nostalgic about it & the brand new Viz dub. Listen as we discuss what we did (and didn’t) like about this new English version, go on tangents about voice actors, and how a movie made by Ikuhara 24 years ago is still one of our top favorite Sailor Moon things to date.

Book Review: Her Eternal Moonlight

 
I was approached recently by the authors of this book to do a review of it, as my podcast & blog are pretty relevant to part of the Sailor Moon experience. Like myself, many of my followers were fans of Sailor Moon since back before the internet was a constant presence in our everyday lives. The idea of a book focused not just on the history of Sailor Moon through the lens of its North American fans, but specifically how it touched the lives of its female fandom sounded quite intriguing. So of course, I jumped on the chance to read this book, and I wanted to share my thoughts with all of you!
