This was a show I initially had no intentions of watching or even remotely paying attention to. However, it's funny how certain events can come around and make you change your entire plane of thought.
It all started about eight years ago, as I was preparing to take my sister to summer camp. While I was waiting for her to get ready, I decided to watch something besides SportsCenter in the morning. During my mad dash of flipping the channels, I ran into a cartoon that I could only begin by classifying as...different. I didn't intend on paying it that much attention; instead, I considered it an amusing diversion.
Imagine, if you will: Some guy is getting bullied by some monster that comes out of a camera, these three fourteen-year old girls come and try to save the guy, then, they transform into girls with sailor suits, short skirts, and long legs. After that, they try to fight the monster, but end up getting beat up, and two of them are actually sucked into the camera. After a saw that, I almost went on a trip to Delusion-ville, but I decided to stick around to see the end of this. In the end, some overdressed guy in a tux and cape throws a rose at the monster, and this girl with unbelievably long pigtails zaps the monster with a wand. Then, some loser guy with a bad perm job comes and vows vengeance on the girls. Now, after watching this, the first thing that came to my mind was "What the hell was that?"
Initially, I would've watched something like that and immediately write it off, but it appeared that something about the show stuck around in my subconscious, and I just had to see it the next day to see if the show was this weird. So, I watched it the next day, then the day after that, then the day after that, and pretty soon, I began to understand the big picture, not to mention the fact that I was actually enjoying it. I started taping episodes, and before I know it, I was hooked.
Sailor Moon is one of those shows that will grab hold of you and not let go because it's so entertaining. I don't regret I ran into it, and I will continue to enjoy it for a very long time.
