Sailor Moon Cosmos: Magical Girls, Character Evolution, and Nostalgic Elements

Zealots of Nerd Entertainment

Ever felt like the pacing of your favorite anime just didn't do justice to the emotional moments? We totally get it. This week on the ZONE Podcast, we're diving into the highly anticipated English Dub of "Sailor Moon Cosmos" on Netflix. While some of us found the two-part movie's speed a tad jarring, others appreciated its unwavering faithfulness to the manga. Usagi, MJ, and I share our thoughts on the nostalgic elements, progressive aspects, and our mixed reactions to the film's narrative and pacing.
Remember Tuxedo Mask's evolution from the original "Sailor Moon" series to "Sailor Moon Crystal"? We sure do, and we had a blast comparing his character development and contributions across both iterations. From his often-criticized minimal presence in the original to a more active role in Crystal, Tuxedo Mask's journey is worth exploring. Plus, we couldn't help but draw fun parallels between him and Yu Yu Hakusho's Kurama, considering their creators' shared history. And who could forget Usagi's lovable, relatable humor in the original series? We certainly miss it in the more somber tones of "Sailor Moon Cosmos."
But that's not all! This episode also dives into the sibling dynamics and family favoritism within Sailor Moon, spiced up with our own personal anecdotes. We discuss our favorite Sailor Scouts, from Sailor Jupiter's inspiring strength to Sailor Pluto's enigmatic charm, and even confess our anime crushes, including the universally adored Levi from "Attack on Titan." To wrap things up, we tease some exciting upcoming projects and remind you to stay connected with us on social media. Stay nerdy, everyone!
