Wow, some of those mentioned are my favourite episodes, especially episodes 45,61, 124 and 125. And the transformations! ^_^ Great idea for a thread Chibi Jen!

[Chibi Jen]

haha yeh!! It's amazing how much more enjoyment you get when the characters all LOOK SO GOOODD!!! arrghhhh XD

I really like all those episodes above
And those sequences were terrific

Now I agree about her being the best BSSM animator

Episode 68 - Protect Chibiusa! Clash of the Ten Warriors I actually just rewatched and gotta say is one of the most STUNNING episodes of R. The animation is so crisp and so stunning, I love the entire Rubeus/Tuxedo Mask/Sailor Moon fight - just so pretty.

Hello all, Love Dissention here wanting to thank Chibi Jen and everyone for their love of Itoh-san and her work as well as mentioning our lil' site! Arigatou! ^___^ I had to join Chibi Forum after seeing your thread!

[Chibi Jen]

=O lovedissention!! Thanks for joining! I love how your site gives her a huge credit, and making those who don't know about her, all about her ^^ Shes so awesome she deserves more fame ^^

[lovedissention]

Yeah we feel the same that's why we made Love Dissention in honor of her. The site is really popular now and after your lovely mention it got us going active again we just put up a new design and working to get some new content online hopefully some more screen caps/artwork and *crosses fingers* video clips which I think will add more flare ^____^

[Chibi Jen]

ah..very beautiful layout =) Can I just make one suggestion tho, I think it's better if the text was written in black instead of white. White on light pink bg is really hard on the eye.

Agreed. And if you don't wanna go completly black, maybe use a darker purple with the light pink bg, cause on brighter screens its harder to read the text.

But besides that great layout you got going on.

[lovedissention]

Thanks for the input guys! And Leo we went with that darker purple like you said! ^____^ I agree it looks a lot better I hope you agree! Now *grabs DVDs* Gotta make some screen cap (and hopefully some video clips).

[Chibi Jen]

ahhh..much better that way =) Looking forward to it! Id love to revisit Ikuko Itoh-san's art =)
