-1 magical girl, +1 magical boy?

Buenos días, Genessia! I couldn't quite find my footing with Miki Aono, so I've decided to let her go for now. :(

However, I finally caved to the urge to bring in a second second character in the form of Mamoru Chiba (aka Tukedo Kamen/Prince Endymion) in her place. Mamoru will be hailing from the end of Act #49, right before the start of the Stars Arc, and will thus be falling in line with both manga continuity and Naoko Takeuchi's original construct of his character — legit powers, more reserved/introverted, somewhat socially inept, possesses a ~legendary crystal~ of his very own, no ridiculous age gap, doesn't throw roses or give pointless speeches, actually has importance to plot and story arcs, etc.

Feelings in regards to what the first anime did with his character, I have lots of them, but we'd be here all day if I got started on that. I will just bless Crystal for being a more faithful adaptation, instead.

...oh yeah, and this is Tamzin! Zuko's player, and now Mamoru's player, too. (And perhaps one more. Maybe. I am very tempted...)

Yay for having Manga Mamo-chan! And you know all too well Usagi will be right there attached to your hip... or something. Like a tumor

I srsly loved Mamo-chan from the manga. He's so cool and excellent. ANd like you I can go on and on about how manga is better for him. o.o

But yay for Mamo-chan. And yay for your two choices for third character!!!!! Usagi will still miss Miki though. u.u

yes, the manga was so so so so much better for him. i really don't understand a lot of the choices made in the direction the original anime decided to go in, and not just for his character. though i get particularly worked up about things involving him in that adaptation, since he's my favorite character from the manga. supers in particular ticks me off, since the dream arc was like his arc and that storyline was shifted primarily to chibi-usa or written off as helios-specific, uhg.

now i just have to decide between sookie and quinn, though i'm really leaning more towards quinn...

yeah, the anime sucked for him. It's almost like, he's there, Sailor Moon thinks he's awesome,.. but we don't really see it. Yeah, there were lots of areas where you just look at his anime self and wonder what's up with that? He lost most of his shining moments from manga. T_T

Oh. Eitherway, I love those choices. I love how sassy both of them are and I look forward to who you bring in OuO

the r movie was the closest the original anime came to being anything like the feel of the manga, even though fiore had no part in the manga. i also disliked that the anime seemed against letting usagi grow up, both in physical and mental age. she was in middle school forever in the anime and didn't seem to mature as firmly as she did in the manga.

it will probably be quinn, since i've got my slice of mind powers with mamoru. she'd be cr!au, too, so it wouldn't be her first jamjar rodeo.
