General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread
Alright, I almost finished three volumes of the Sailor Moon manga, but it's too late. I'm at the point where all the words are just blurs.

I now understand where the anime writers got the Sailor Soldiers horrible personalities from. Sailor Jupiter mentions just once that she was devastated by an older guy at her school not returning her feelings, but then immediately realizes she has more important things to do. The anime takes that and turns it into a joke, making her fall in love with every guy and claiming he reminds her of her senior.

Sailor Mars doesn't show much emotion and is a bit blunt when she talks. Over time the others rub off on her and she acts more like a typical girl her age. The anime just chose to make her a permanent bitch and for some reason make her super horny, even though she outright says she doesn't trust men in the manga. If I remember correctly it's because her dad is a scumbag.

I have to say, the anime made some scenes much more epic, though. You know how in the anime the Dark Kingdom killed Serenity and Endymion? Well, in the comic after Endymion is killed Princess Serenity actually takes this huge sword and kills herself out of grief. Then, because her mom is so devastated, she doesn't properly seal Queen Metalia, which is why she comes back.

In the present time Endymion's current reincarnation is killed and his body is used by the Dark Kingdom. So Sailor Moon is just like "fuck this" and uses the same sword to try and kill both of them. The Sailor Soldiers don't die fighting like the do in the anime; they just give up their lives to try and make Sailor Moon wake up.

So I do like how the anime changed those things. The Sailor Soldiers are whipping around way too many weapons in the comic, so it was good to just eliminate or combine their abilities. I actually think the anime would be way better than the manga if they'd just kept the character's personalities the same and not left out some very crucial plot elements.
