Sailor Moon 4.

Overuse of cape-tossing, bad.

I thought Nephrite was cooler than Jadeite at first, but then he ended up doing the scowling and squinting too much, too. And always having red hair, dude. Human form Jadeite is still hot, and he's got the best acting, too.

I like the live action Tuxedo Kamen, too. Much more coolness and less dorkiness. And a nice little fight with Nephrite that was much better than any the girls have been in, although again with the swinging around with capes.

Looks like they're going to do some more character development now, which will be nice. I get the feeling the character interplay will be very different from the anime -- it already is so far -- so it'd be nice to understand them a bit more. It already feels like a different show, although I'm watching it for the sake of the original.

O. M. G, Nephrite makes me want to die. Or laugh. Or die laughing. I never thought I'd see the day when I'm glad that Jadeite is not out of the picture yet. o.O

I guess overall this show is turning my perception of the characters upside-down. I love Mako-chan to pieces while she was my relatively least favorite Senshi in the anime, and Ami frequently makes me want to throw things. ::boggle::

Hm, I don't think Ami is that bad. Rei seems like more of a bitch, though, and in a worser way. But maybe she'll get better now that she's over the whole "I don't want friends" thing.

When do we get to see Mamo-chan?!

Ah, ep. 5. That would be where Ami pisses me off. XP She doesn't show up much in 6 and 7 though, so we'll have to see if she keeps it up.

Rei is more like a no-personality wallflower. More of a manga thing, I suppose. Well, at least she's not ditzy.

Mamo-chan gets his spotlight in ep. 7. Go watch, ep. 5 and 6 are already subbed. =P And it's not like you really need the subs to know what's going on anyway.

Hypothesis: Motoki's turtle talks to him and trains him to fight evil. Just reeeaaally slowly.

Still confused about the Zoicite/Kunzite guy...

You say "go watch", but the limiting factor is not the speed at which things are subbed at the moment. :(

Go turtle! Kame ni kawatte, oshioki yo!
