That was cute.

It would've been nice if the article had actually given credit to the English actresses, though. Neutral

^Yeah, especially when both Stephanie Sheh & Michelle Ruff promoted this themselves a few days ago.

I wonder if they made a second commercial like DBZ & MGS had and it hasn't been posted yet?

Completely ridiculous.
And the worst is that they chose a very badly drawn and animated episode.

A very adorable commercial! Anime catgrin Although I wonder how good Usagi would be at driving in busy highways...

And yes, it would great if ANN gave credit to the actresses, since they did promote the commercial themselves.

Ugh, Moonies need to freaking get over themselves and stop being so unreasonably serious and angry all the time.

Can you respect other opinions than your?
I'm not even a "Moonie". Though I do appreciate the show, I am not a fan of it.
And no, I don't consider this ad to be "cute" or "funny", so get over yourself for reading my opinion and stop being unreasonably judgemental and patronizing.

That was fun to watch however it wasn't as funny as the DBZ Ford Fusion commercial that one was to die for. Laughing

I love Kung Pow! Enter the Fist, I love What's Up, Tiger Lily?, and I love these commercials. I won't be getting a 2017 Ford Fusion though.

The proud followers of Sun Myung Moon will not be mocked! Your derision of our great and glorious leader will led to your downfall and your doom! Your future is that of the damned and...

... what?

... Sailor Moon? Not... oh.

Never mind.

This ad gave me life. I don't know why I found it so funny. I say that because I can't totally see Usagi dreaming of a car Laughing Laughing

I'm a Moonie and I seriously agree with this. Idk why some people are so darn nitpicky; there was literally nothing wrong with the ad. It was cute.

Maybe some people are so invested in what they're a fan of that something even pseudo-mocking like this advertisement comes across as an insult to them. That is, they can't stand the thought that some people take whatever it is less seriously than they do, or they want to believe the characters and setting are real and to see them act out of character or fourth-wall-breaking like this is jarring (akin to realizing you're in a dream).

I see this among Sonic fans all the time. I'm a Sonic fan, and I will often poke fun at the series. But I never do this when certain other Sonic fans are present, because they will get incredibly angry at me and attempt to pick fights with me.

I don't mean to assume Nodz is like this, just that I've seen fans of other things like that and wouldn't be surprised to find Sailor Moon fans like that.

It's a just damn commercial.
Don't see anything wrong here, Jesus.

Plus, it has both Stephanie and Ruff in it which makes it even better!

That was a great commercial. I liked it. I'd have loved to have seen the voice actresses from the DIC/Cloverway version of "Sailor Moon." Minor complaints aside,still a cute commercial. Smile Anime smile
