I remember looking through the fog…
Back when my home planet was still young, was covered in a thick sulfuric fog…
Back then, my palace, the Magellan Castle, was surrounded by it…
Magellan Castle orbited the planet Venus, and in the manga it was the palace of Princess Venus, given to her by Queen Serenity when she was born. Sailor Venus described the castle as being surrounded by sulfur fog. According to Artemis, it floated over the land of Aphrodite.
In Act 41, the Solar System Senshi called upon the power of their castles and directed it to the Rainbow Moon Cálice, which gave Sailor Moon the power to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon. In Chapters 1 and 15 of the Codename: Sailor V manga, the palace was shown as Minako was told of and remembered her past life. (Via Wikimoon)
All of the Sailor Princesses’ castles (sans Mercury and Venus) are named after a moon orbiting the mother planet. However, because Venus has no moons, Magellan Castle’s name is derived from the name of a space probe sent to explore Venus in the 1990s.
They’re freaking out because they think Mako’s a lesbian now.
To be fair, who ISN’T lesbo for Haruka?
In all my years of being a Sailor Moon fan, I’ve come to find that most people don’t know about anything other than the English dub.
It’s sad. We’re one of the lucky fandoms that has more than just a dubbed series, and no one cares! Everyone wants the dub to come back, but there are so many other great forms of Sailor Moon that no one seems to care about. I guess this all kinda stemmed from me wanting to do a Sera Myu cosplay, but I feel like hardly anyone would “get it.” (I know people who have cosplayed Myu and PGSM, and they were told they were “inaccurate.” LOL) This isn’t a dub hate rant, and no hate to anyone that prefers it.
Before you go crusading for the dub to come back, maybe you should watch the subbed version, PGSM, Sera Myu and read the manga. It’s probably my biggest pet peeve about this fandom.
This has been a post.
I really respect people’s childhood nostalgia, and I understand WHY they want it to come back, but I just think it’s a bad idea. The dub dumbed down the series and I feel like it did a poor job representing the series as a whole (the Haruka/Michiru cousin fiasco, turning male characters female, using that godawful slang, making the characters say things that are EXTREMELY out of character, etc) I just feel like it could be SO MUCH BETTER, and people are so hung up on their nostalgia they can’t acknowledge that the dub has faults and doesn’t do a very good job at, well, DUBBING.
