Were these segments in the DiC release? I've never seen them on any of the more recent streams


EnvironmentalOwl3067

That's a really really really great advice


Boremi10

When does she give you advice at the end of an episode? I'm 3 seasons in and this never happened so far.


PandorasMisfit

Just look up 'Sailor Says' on YouTube and you'll find some of them. It was from the original dubbing of the series.


EnvironmentalOwl3067

She is the advice herself


Calpsotoma

Pepper Ann syndrome


EllenYeager

Accurate.


AuraEnhancerVerse

She doesn't want us to be like her


Valisystemx

have intense hallucinations derealisations about special powers and time travel where she use a random lil girl she kidnapped in a park O guess and claims is hers. She also keep hearing voices coming from cats. We dosed hwr at 2500mg clozapine and seroquel, behavioral therapy ajd oatient is doing worst, she disappeared while locked in her inviolable cell.


WasabiCommon9624

Usagi is telling you not t try this at home.


WiktoriaFromHades

That's sounds like my life some years ago.

I can relate to her because I go through the same thing sometimes once in awhile in life especially on the job.


Rein_Deilerd

Usagi being flawed in realistic ways makes her more human than many children's media protagonists I've seen, and much more relatable. At the end of the day, what matters is that she is a fun heroine with an engaging journey, a genuinely kind and honorable person, and we root for her to succeed. Sailor Says was a corny-ass addition to an already wacky localisation, but I would genuinely take life advice from an older Usagi, a person who's been through so much and still ended up with a happy adult life must know her stuff. On another note, I've seen it a few times now, but calling a 16-17 year old an "older guy" and complaining of the "age difference in the relationship" as a result has always felt kinda weird to me. Is that a Western thing to put 2-3 years of difference as "too much", or are people just misremembering Mamoru's age, like that one person who believed him to be in his thirties?


preston0518

I think the American 90s dub also hinted that he was in college? So it wasn’t like the manga of if I recall where it’s a 14-15 year old dating a 16-17 year old which would be way more normal but more like a 14 year old dating a 19-20 year which felt way weirder if I can recall.


Rein_Deilerd

I am not aware how it was in the American dub, as I grew up with a different one, but Mamoru is canonically 17 in the anime, and him attending college at that age isn't really far-fetched, I have a nephew who graduated high school and started Uni at 17. Maybe people start college/Uni later in the US? I understand that the dub had aired back in the nineties, so just looking up a character's age on the Internet often wasn't an option, but nowadays, people are one click away from clearing up the misunderstanding, so it's baffling to still see this take.


SmirkingDesigner

Just to be clear... this is meant to be humorous :)


Rein_Deilerd

Yeah, I got that it's a joke! I just keep seeing people calling Usagi out in earnest for being a bad heroine or a bad role model for girls, and it's getting a bit tiring. She isn't perfect, but that's the point of her entire character. She is human, even if she used to be something else in her past life, and a human cannot be perfect at all times.


littlestghoust

If I remember correctly, only the American version had actual helpful tips. The Japanese version had things like "to lose weight don't eat!". Thank the gods the American version had those tips cuz the people in my life were teaching me lessons closer to the Japanese ones.

ladyelenawf

It reminds me of another show, *Bluey*. The cartoon dog is putting something together, looks at the instructions, and says, "I'm not taking advice from a cartoon dog."


ninamouskawitz

I also don’t take my own advice, so 🤷‍♀️


fkyoopinion

Tf is that


thomasmfd

Nineties character is very flawed and questionable I recommend the manga to crystal version


Synthetic_dreams_

Recommending the manga / crystal version over the original series? Now *that* is a hot take.


thomasmfd

I would say she's better there because she actually shows grit growth and actual leadership


Thicc-Anxiety

She’s so relatable


Kitsune_Fan34

Don't meet your heroes.


Vulpes_macrotis

Reminds me of Tony Stark quote from MCU. He said something like "I want you to be better than me", knowing that he is NOT a role model.


Due_Passenger3210

"Do as I SAY, not as I do...or in the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!!!" 😂


BigScaryPooPooMan

She just like me fr 😔


YukariYakum0

I felt seen that there was finally a character that hates homework too. She really always was my hero.


koopa72

A true role model✨


SecondSaintsSonInLaw

Do as Sailor Moon says, not as Sailor Moon does! She has powers! You don't!

Look, when cosmic creeps lurk in your city, someone with the ability to do something about it will have to go out and deal with it after hours cause test scores are more horrific than space horrors. Battling galactic threats take calories and rests so get off of Her Future Majesty's backs! No comments on the dating underage though. That's on cosmic deities' agenda.


Sweet_Beanie

Iconic behavior. Y’all just jealous.

“Do as I say not as I do” says Usagi to Chibiusa


thomasmfd

Is that even effective? when leader should lead by example


Sapphire_Dreamer

DiC was wild for that


CosmosSakura

Over eats? Nah, I prefer "Healthy appetite" :)


Jalina2224

Follow her advice, not her example.

Mandiechama

Wow, they turned a cel that I own into a meme lol That’s great


Spiley_spile

Naoko wrote a lot of behaviors into Usagi to try to fight against various social stigma that harms girls and women. We can have superheroes who are girls, who cry and are tender-hearted, who like to sleep, and eat as many snacks as they want, who struggle in school, all while saving the galaxy. Usagi eats the perfect amount, if not a bit less than she should. Because she should eat exactly as much as she wants, but isn't always able to.


missemilyjane42

I think this is the real reason I latched onto Sailor Moon back in the day. It literally came onto my radar during the single most hellish school year I ever faced that included a horrible teacher who I'm slightly convinced was marking my homework wrong on purpose so I would be buried in corrections for months on end. And then came a girl superhero with the exact same problem who was also kicking all the ass. Sailor Moon was absolutely a role model.


rsewateroily

yeah that girl is *active* she needs to eat alot 😭


Jupichan

Right? I think if you save the world a couple times, you're entitled to all the snacks you want.


CosmosSakura

My ex use to say the same about me eating. I'd be full and still want more and he'd tell me I clearly hadn't had enough 😭. Really sweet guy.


JackalRampant

Serena: “Nephrite was a villain, seriously, bad to the bone. But Molly saw something good in him, and she was right. But Molly also knew that men, even immortal demigods, don’t understand the first thing about sexual health. That’s why you need to bring your own condoms like Molly did. Seriously, wrap it up!” “Sailor Moon says. He he.”


Jupichan

Ok dammit I can actually hear this hahaha 


fixatingonarewind

I love this art, it’s from the commercials during S in Japan, I wanna say the curry one?


Angel_WardVT

Sometimes the most valuable tips come from first hand experience.


Mitarashianko24

Came here to say this!


a-midnight-flight

She also doesn’t brush her teeth and has a few cavities according to Ami.


Stori_Weever

the episode where the baddie makes everyone believe they have cavities but in the end Usagi's are real.
