Sailor Moon Crystal Should’ve Been a Space Opera

[@alittlefruitfairy]

I’d love to see the character’s actually achieve their original dreams but not in the way they could have expected. Sailor Mercury would go into the medical field and save lives the way she originally intended, but she’d do so across the galaxy instead of just on Earth. Sailor Jupiter would settle down on one of the planets they’re reviving and get married to an alien having a family owned space bakery.

[@matildalitsey143]

I'm writing a fanfiction where they build their dreams up but also find other hobbies and dreams the like, such as Makoto learning she likes passionate, very romantic writing and Rei learning she likes sports such as volleyball and soccer.

Fan Fact, in the manga the reason why The entire universe Is dead it's because of Sailor Galaxya, She literaly did the Undertale genocide, killing anyone She saw. By the end of the manga Sailor Moon Is literaly the only Person Alive a side for a few others.

[@AnimeAngel88]

Given the fact that each senshi from Earth is a planetary princess in her own right, the idea of them going out to recolonize the galaxies and reclaim their own kingdoms would be an awesome concept. The Dream arc movies made it clear that they are royals as much as Usagi and Chibiusa, so why not use that? Why not even find descendants of the inhabitants of the planetary kingdoms? I mean, how emotional would it be if Mercury found actual Mercurians on some distant asteroid who fled because of Metalia's war? The Sailor V manga even established a character who had been from Venus and had him fall in love with Princess Minako in Silver Millennium. Show me some Plutonians from the ancient past who were searching for their missing princess all these centuries! Really, the possibilities are endless.

[@matildalitsey143]

Writing a fanfiction for Sailor Moon, noted.

[@Takumi_Did_Nothing_Wrong]

I want to see what happens to Usagi's normal Earth family and normal Earth friends. Is Usagi still friends with Naru? Are Ikuko, Kenji, and Shingo considered apart of the royal family? I know they become out-of-focus in later arcs, but I think it would be out-of-character for Usagi to completely abandon them. I think it would be interesting to see their reactions to finding out Usagi's secret identity and the consequences that come from it. Naru and Ikuko would probably be surprised but nonetheless carefree and accepting about it, Shingo would probably be shocked and maybe a little grossed out that the superhero he admires is actually his klutzy sister, and her dad would most likely be his usual overprotective dad self and freak out over it.

[@psychotophatcat]

We get a very small glimpse of their connections to the normal friends and family in one arc of the manga, but that's about it. It always bugged me too.

[@indigowendigo8165]

"Shingo would probably be shocked and maybe a little grossed out that the superhero he admires is actually his klutzy sister". LOL, sounds just like Chibiusa but it's Usagi's real present day self versus her future mama. ^^; That totally sounds like what Shingo's reaction would be, I'm betting on that too. XD

[@JBabyLeather]

Yes to this

[@matildalitsey143]

I'm writing a fanfiction series that gets more in-depth about that, only problem is it's for the 90s version and some of the plot points in the original are changed, such as in the original they live their lives on their planets but in my version they instead stay on earth for at least a century then live on their home planets. Another thing changed is that Chibiusa is younger, at least 700, as I am an American and Usagi and Mamoru's Reincarnations are not old enough in Japan. It is illegal.

[@launch4]

I love the idea of a Sailor Moon space opera. Only thing I would do would be to massively play up the old school mythology level epicness of the setting to the most extreme possible extent, showing Usagi and co as practically gods walking the earth, and the fall of the moon kingdom as a kind of Ragnarok like event. Basically Sailor Moon 40,000.

Honestly, as someone who grew up with only the “Sailor Moon” anime, I was still super hyped for “Crystal”, because I bought the manga when it was recently re-released in English and loved it a lot. And I will go to bat for season three of “Crystal”; I think that was the only season worth watching, and “Eternal” seems very promising. As for what I would like to see: I’d honestly love to read or watch something Ghibli-esque, where the focus is on magical girls once they’ve become middle-aged, examining whether they continued to pursue that path, how they support the next generation, or step away from that life altogether. Also, more stuff with the Outer Senshi, specifically Hotaru having a great time with her three loving parents, and Chibiusa as her girlfriend, would be great.

[@starkid4299]

agreed!

[@Pollicina_db]

Isn't Chibiusa with Helios?

[@Harukurochan]

@@Pollicina_db No, it’s just implied that they might get together in the future. Plus, there is *plenty* of (sub)text for Chibiusa and Hotaru’s relationship, including the scene where Mamoru feels like he’s “giving her away”, like a father on his daughter’s wedding day, when she runs to see Hotaru.

[@WobblesandBean]

When you said in your last video that the next one would be “indulgent”, I never imagined we would be going to SPACE. This was a bizarre yet fun trip. Probably would’ve been easier to follow if I had actually seen Sailor Moon yet. As a magical girl, Ikuhara, and Junichi Sato fan, I’ll inevitably get around to it someday.

Don't worry. I've only watched Sailor Moon Crystal and I could only follow the video like 20% of the time.

[@WonderousSmiles]

I dunno... My wishes for Sailor Moon is a bit more basic. I just wanted something that combined the best of the manga with the best of the 90s anime. While fleshing out the characters as stand alone more often. I'm a sucker for redemption and romance. So what I'd really want is for team Beryl to have happy endings. I want a chance for them to remember their pasts and reconnect with Momoru again. I want Zosite x Kunsite and Nephrite x Naru to have their happy endings, damn it! But if not that, then a direct sequel to Stars. Where the girls are college aged and we actually see Usagi's goddess accession in action. Because I can't be the only one wondering how we got from point A to point Z, haha

I like the going back in time idea.

[@mofietashade]

Twist: When Usagi gets sucked back in time, she actually does save the Moon Kingdom. Realizing her mistake too late, SHE destroys the Moon Kingdom herself in a desperate attempt to preserve the future and her friends. She is the looming threat in the future, warped and hardened by the disaster she unwittingly created. Since she is the threat, that's why all the redeemable baddies were haunting Japan trying to kill/capture her. Now, they must band with the scouts as she tries to stop her other self from ever venturing back in time - only to see the 'good Usagi' be taken away. Let 'bad Usagi' unpack the horrifying truth of the destruction she has unintentionally caused and now the scouts & allies must learn to understand, forgive, and help redeem the 'bad Usagi'. Give me Space Opera :p

[@spoopybat7880]

"Is anyone's favorite episode when they're traveling from place to place?" *Star Trek fan sweats profusely* Seriously though I adore Sailor Moon and I think a thing exploring the scouts as individuals (or smaller teams) would've been great. I remember the few times in the original anime we got see them as Makoto or Rei instead of just Jupiter and Mars. While they would be doing important work you could also see how they've grown and who they've become outside of their role as guardians. Doubly so for Chibi Usa, her whole character arc is her relationship with Usagi as a person (and god) and the insecurity she feels. Give me an older Chibi Usa who's outside of that shadow. She has Hotaru and Helios and they're helping her forge her own path as a hero. Give them character development, please.

[@WobblesandBean]

LOL hello fellow Trekkie

[@judahosborne8868]

Speaking of tragedy, the fact that Usagi's wish came true to live an ordinary life again only to be dashed the moment the second season started KILLED me.

[@faylinnmystiquerose2224]

Personally, I would love to see a sequel series where we have new guardians that are children of the original ones, that would probably mean that Chibi-Usa would be the princess to protect, though I also ship Makoto x Ami so they'd probably have to get their own biological child/ren through other means. Actually played Rei's daughter in a roleplay some years back, that was pretty fun, though I also have my own OC senshi who's powers relate to ice/snow.

I don’t think she would be equipped, and while Mamoru could help, he was only ever a Prince. He’s probably got just as much experience as her. It would also sweeten the destined conclusion, if Usagi had to really work and figure things out before she became God-Queen Of The Universe.

Oh hey imagine if all of the versions of Usagi- Princess serenity, Usagi, neo queen serenity, and sailor cosmos all just, suddenly had to work together as a team? Like First of all, Princess Serenity would absolutely be the naive one. Usagi(I’d have her be at eternal sailor moon stage) would be the somewhat matured but still childish one who has a good head on her shoulders due to her experience, Neo Queen Serenity would be like the mom of the group, and Cosmos would be the depressed emo one who’s quiet and mysterious. Idk why or how they’d all end up together but maybe some evil time monster showed up and for some reason all the Usagis had to combine their power in order to defeat it, but there were still monsters of the week leading up to the big fight. But at the climax of the big battle, they all combined themselves into their ultimate form, like a fusion of every Usagi, creating a really neat and fun transformation. And basically if there was a follow up to this story, every time Usagi needed to defeat a really scary big bad, she would become that transformation- maybe that would even be her transformation, since that’s typically the formula

[@juliasoag]

There are a LOT of cool concepts in this video, so many that i don't think it would all fit into an anime Honestly i think it would work way better as a game with a rich history and many many side missons than as a very long anime, just imagine: a game where you could play as one of the main sailors and rebuild a planet while also building a relantionship with side characters and in the end all get linked into a bigger plot !!

[@kieranczyzyk9064]

all. yes. good ideas. i want! that!! iterate on it! Like how TMNT is with all it's different versions! I'd looove for Sailor Moon lore to get remixed more often (not necessarily expanded b/c yeah. you covered that lol). idk nothing much to add here besides I LIKE THIS and OH NO ANOTHER WEBCOMIC IDEA

[@The-Random-Hamlet]

It's amusing I come across this video now as a couple of weeks ago I ran a game (using the Cortex System) that was a space opera where one of the two primary influences was Sailor Moon.

[@urieldaluz250]

You mentioning the dystopia nature of crystal tokyo reminds me of something. I have the plans for a game of mutants and masterminds where every week you make a new monster of the week and your squad tried to destabilize the corset wearing overlords of the senshi as much as possible before they vaporized you. Just making each one a tyrant in a way that sorta fits their foibles. Trying to earn freedom for the “mortals”

[@guitaristsubs]

Love your new avatar and the video!

[@drawsfelix]

Since Sailor Cosmos has canonically recreated the universe, all Sailor Moon Media is cannon. Have a nice day.

[@coleperez3612]

I would have loved the space opera thing but I would have liked to see each inner senshi with their season one guard. They were supposed to be in a relationship with the guards of earth in the past but they never get brought back. It would be interesting to see if they could or would rekindle those old romances or even friendships.

[@sailorsagittarius8526]

My idea of a sailor moon spin off is to make the senshi genderbend and also has the slice of life and magical girl genre but also a art genre and the cutie honey flash kind of theme Story type: using all the idea of every sailor moon adaptation and the manga but also own ideas for example new senshis like Sailor Silver Rabbit, Sailor Onyx Mole etc. The next special thing is the animation could be a mix of cel and computer.

[@sailorsagittarius8526]

Or maybe a sailor moon spin off called Sailor Moon Constellation. A sailor moon spin off having a mythology and fashion theme with new senshis basing of popular tales, shows and videogames characters like Rosalina, the little prince and Steven as senshis and tuxedos. Maybe also taking the idea from space opera aswell

Was gonna say "inb4 people who are salty from the isekai and dragon maid videos start commenting here for no reason" but it appears there are already comments, even though there are 8 comments and 2 replies total as i look. Just... sorry.

@@poppygrimblo5020 please, most criticism wasn't about her points per se but just people criticizing her for bnha fan art that, supposedly, made her a "hypocrite" and on the same level as a confirmed pedophile. Nah, bad faith "arguments" are not criticism.

[@justwentfullchuu2]

@@poppygrimblo5020 (A) clearly a fuck-up, but doesn't detract from her argument and from the fact that the author of Dragon Maid does sexualize child-coded characters. So yeah, you pointed out an important mistake, but not an argument. (B) Another fuck up, see point above. You can call her a "bad researcher" or "bad video essayist" but her arguments and points still ring true. Even if her delivery wasn't perfect. (C) So? Doesn't go against the point of minors being sexualized in japanese media, the fact that the author may do it does not detract from the fact that it happens.

[@chaosdestructionlove]

This video made me super nostalgic for the old anime, i didnt understand a lot of it when i initially seen it bc i was so young. But imagining some of the villains being redeemed and the scouts living independent lives from usagi.... God that'd be so nice. But i think im tired of the laser focus on one character type stories these days. If we can spend a reasonable amount of time with the mc but also good bits and pieces with supporting cast members that much more fulfilling.

[@christinacordova6271]

Yo I frocking love your idea of the sailor guardians reestablish the planets after the sailor wars I love that.

[@turner15]

I’m pretty sure Sailor Moon has the same teleportation hubs as Steven Universe because SU took a lot of inspiration from anime. I think they might’ve literally been copying it.
