Name: Sailor Moon [1992]: More that a bunch of girls complaining, a dark story of loneliness within
Item: Sailor Moon

This is the story of a girl without friends. One day, overwhelmed by the reality she had to live in one of the most prosperous, advanced and technologically developed societies in the history of mankind, she had to resort to her imagination, and above all to her creativity (in an amateur way, it should be noted) to be able to capture in a series of manga, and later in the famous anime that made her world famous, what she would have liked (remember, we are still talking about that girl without friends) to have had in life, at the time. Thus Sailor Moon was born.

As you can see, it is not as simple as we sometimes see it, sitting on our sofas; innocent and excited in our childhood while watching our favourite anime on TV in our countries. I can understand that Sailor Moon is not especially popular with boys, as it was with the vast majority of girls, but I am honestly intrigued to know that it was the pain and lack of empathy and understanding that drove the creative, artistic gene of its author, Naoko Takeuchi. She is a chemical engineer by profession but she created an unforgettable anime for billions of people on the planet...

And so we come to how a story of school friends battling fantastic villains, while discovering the rawness of the world and the bitterness of pain, has struck such a chord with all of us. To this day, Sailor Moon's legacy is still very strong and strong. Personally, I don't know anyone who wouldn't admit that they ever wanted to belong to a group like the one we see in this anime, I think they're lying. Digging even deeper, the importance of love as a solid argument in this story is vital and extremely substantial to the plot and as a confessional component on the part of the author.

Certain details can only be appreciated very well when one no longer possesses the innocence and idealism of a girl (or boy). No male character could do more than the bond that unites Sailor Moon with her friends and the other Sailors. That ‘all for one, and one for all’ approach is something I find both beautiful and a little utopian. Deep down, I'm actually the age the author and creator of this anime was when she first made it, and I can understand several things that simply wouldn't have occurred to me before...

Sailor Moon is an icon, a marvel and a gigantic piece of my existence and my life. It links me to a time of loneliness that has marked my personality to this day, but it is also part of the inheritance I share with my little daughter. I trust that when she is older, and therefore more aware, she will be able to understand many things that are now just anecdotes and trifles. You may ask: ‘Is an anime about girls and fantasies so transcendental?’ Undoubtedly and inevitably, yes. And I know that in this communion I will be alone. And not only because I'm a woman, many men also watched it and liked it.

I didn't know the background of the Sailor Moon mangaka, now I can understand some things about this story that I love since I was a child. It was very interesting to read your post 😊.

Sailor Moon was part of my childhood and adolescence, as a child I did not understand the plot, I only liked to see the transformations and the funny scenes, but when I saw it again when I was older and especially when I read the manga, I realized that it was not only comedy, it had a lot of complex issues that were not talked about in the years when it was released, it is a marvel 😍

When I was a little girl, more like a teenager I dreamed of being a Sailor senshi and fight against evil, I even made my transformation pin, I asked to buy two Sailor Moon albums and today as a mother I feel like a Neo Queen Serenity with her two moon princesses. And don't forget that Sailor Moon will punish them in the name of the moon.

I saw the remake and gave it a review, I couldn't stand it, it was too syrupy, I don't know if the old version is like that too.

I love how you've captured the essence of Sailor Moon. It's so much more than a magical girl anime. It's a story about friendship, love, and overcoming loneliness, something we can all relate to. I think it's great how you connect the author's life to the series, and how it resonates with you and your daughter. It's incredible how an anime can mean so much. Cheers, and thanks for bringing it to us.
