I thought it was so corny, hee. Like, I'm sure if they had a bigger effects budget, it wouldn't be so bad. The story was cute for sure though!


I think they actually made it work though. If the show tried to take itself too seriously, it just wouldn't have worked. But they didn't and it's obvious people were having fun making it and that gives it charm. All and all, I actually think it's the best version of the Sailor Moon story, at least when it comes to pacing (manga is too fast, anime is too slow).

It's good to know I wasn't the only one who liked the Sailor Moon live action. Sure, it was corny and low-budget, but it was a cute, silly show for little kids... I don't know why some people expected it to be the next 'War and Peace.' And the girl who played Usagi was exactly how I always imagined Usagi would be if she was real.

Finally, Watase is back. I think this drama could be fun. I love live actions, Japanese filmmakers doesn`t want to be realistic like American filmmakers, they just want to entertaint the audience; a big budget isn`t necessary when there is a good director and a good script. I`m happy for Hiro Mizushima because he is working after Kamen Rider Kabuto, a great series. I hope this live action has success because I want more adaptions of Watase`works.

I'll have to watch this! I do hope they'll keep Gaku and the Kronos co.'s costumes. I love those outfits.

I can't wait to see another work with Hiro ^^ I loved him in Hana Kimi.
Not too crazy for the actor they casted as Knight, but i'll guess we'll see how that turns out.

I also don't mind that they upped the ages. I think t's a bit better ^^
