Aww.. I still havent been able to get the next episode yet... .. But I managed to view The Making of Sailormoon Live action~ and I thought it was quite interesting. The voices of the actresses sound very different to their characters in the live action ^_^ It must have been so much stress acting... They had to take the scene where Usagi meets Luna more than 7 times, just to get it right. The director looks scary XD I was also fascinated by the scenes... how there was 44 Bunnies in Usagi's Room... or should I say "Studio"?

The voices of the actresses sound very different to their characters in the live action ^_^ Yeh, when I watched that, the actressess seem in a way unfamiliar to me- very odd. The voices, especially of Usagi's sounded much more mature and older and it's funny to see the making and behind the scene stuff...very interesting stuff. Just watching them, it feels like you get to see a different side to their characters. lol...I didn't know Queen Beryls' Dark Kingdom was really in a cave- she's very different normally too. That was funny, I didn't realise either..there's like lots of little details everywhere. I think it would be more interesting to see the 5 of them actually audition for the roles. Btw, how does Usagi tie her hair in meatballs? Is that actually her hair or is it a hair tie that makes it look like a part of her hair?

Its all her real hair. Its easy to get someones hair like that. Plus her hair is long enough. ^^So many bunnys... I saw the Making of right before the series and I did find it weird and I feel sorry for the actress's... the director is harsh but fair. I liked how they had the test run, but sadly the part was just an Usagi and Ami part and they stuffed in the other 3 has Naru and the two other friends.
SailorMoonfanMala... that is the stupidest question I have EVER heard... Of course they are casting japanese girls its not like they are going to cast a bunch of american girls... >< I can't even imagen why you would ask that?

Exactly- I can’t believe you even asked that SailormoonFanMala *shakes head in disbelief* Sailormoon is Japanese, thus you would expect to find Japanese casts to play the role. How odd would it be for others to play the role, when the anime and manga is based on Japan and revolves around the Japanese culture. Have you seen the other page Mala? Digilee posted up pictures of American Version of Live Action and it’s a disaster. (Not offense to the US) The whole Live Action is produced by Japanese people, which I believe did an excellent job- they know the anime and manga, how it is originally… I mean, how could you not notice that they are all Asians? You must not of seen it before, or you would notice the whole series is in Japanese. Also Mala, I don’t think the manga or anime characters look anything like Americans. = = = -Enough with that- *Act 32 Spoiler* I was just planning to drop down some comments after watching this act. I felt that it was a great episode- the part where Mamoru met the four generals and some of his memories were coming back. I felt sorry for Zoicite as Queen Beryl just kept attacking him. I felt that the way the episode ended was very cute –and YES! Usagi and Mamoru finally let themselves be with each other. The thing that Usagi does is so cute- e.g the way she just pointed at Mamoru and how she said it’s too late, cause it’s going to be summer soon lol This reminds me of the R series where Mamoru and Usagi are facing problems as the two try to be together and change their destiny and fate. (More evidence of merging seasons) Hm…Usagi still doesn’t know SailorVenus’ identity, though I really enjoy knowing they are a part of the team and as they are pretty much reunited. It doesn’t really matter that much does it? Minako is always looking over her… I like seeing more of her. =) The more of Mio I see, the more suspicious I get…she’s somehow I believe linked to the Youma (though stated were weak)-though said not Queen Beryls’ doing… I guess it’s not her after all..maybe it’s Queen Metaria awakening slowly, thus power is weaker, or a new introduced character.

*puts lock on his mouth* YOU GUYS ARE KILLING ME!!!!!! I can't belive you havn't guessed who she is yet! owell.... Even after everyone knows who Venus is Minako, Minako dosn't join the group fully until 42-43. She actually gets one of the CROWN cards with her venus on it. So you guys are pasted the Dark Ami part now and are onto the Mio Arc? JUST REMEMBER WHAT SHE DID TO NARU!!!!!!!!

I finally got to watch Act 35... and I must sya that was the best Act I've seen so far of sailormoon Live Action! It's so dramatic! Woohoo! ;D *spoilers of Act 35* So we were right! That ugly Mio is Beryl........ I'm SO glad they found out her identity!!! I also thought the scene of Venus talking to Zoicite really good ^_^ It's interesting to see both protectors negotiate; and for once actually work together to a certain extent. The part where Usagi is slowly losing her memories really sad... But of course, I don't hate Minako one bit ^^;; She's actually really caring- and so the part where Venus gives Sailormoon her live tickets probably symbolised her fault, and her understanding. It's funni how Usagi was the really last person to find out Venus's true identity.... even Tuxedo Kamen knew! I didn't know that The next Act looks really good..... Princess Sailormoon appears?! YAY. Can't wait!

That was a good twist making Mio Beryl's human shadow into the world. Did all of you see younger Beryl on the moon? She scared me.... Poor Usagi... she is so stupid and Princess Sailor Moon kicks MEGA ASS!!!!!! oh Poor Naru... so much main coming up...

***Act 35 Spoiler*** Yeh..Act 35 was an awesome episode- I totally loved it! So I guess we had the same thought of Mio being Queen Beryl . . .that evil witch.. finally her true identity is revealed!! Close enough..a human shadow eh? I thought that part at the roof top was so cool...how Jedite was protecting Beryl as Mio, and Kunzite wanted to get Endymion back. What made me change my mind after my intial post of Mio not being Beryl was the fact Youmas were appearing and I thought they were Mio's doing, while Beryl said she didn't know what was going on. The more clues of Mio being Beryl was after Mio did something, it would show Beryl respond < yet, I was trying to avoid being tricked by the producers of believe she was Beryl> Hm..dat sounds confusing, hope I didn't lose anyone back there What I don't really understand is why Mio was trying to make Usaghi lonely etc, not like she wanted to have friends or anything (like Neherenia), and the way she was manipulating people around her e.g Making people think Minako was being mean to her etc. I'm assuming she's trying to scatter the Sailor Senshi. What was she trying to say when she said she loved Usagi and just wanted to be alone with her? What kind an excuse what that? Mio made me sick in the way she just threw herself at Mamoru.it was like "Get your dirty hands and body off him!!" So glad they found out. I also thought the scene of Venus talking to Zoicite really good ^_^ It's interesting to see both protectors negotiate; and for once actually work together to a certain extent. That was pretty cool. All Zoicite wants was to protect his master... making a deal with Venus and how he desperate urged Venus to go and save Endymion. Why can't Zoicite leave Beryl? Is it because the other 3 are still there? Why does it seem like he's so weak compared to the others? It feels so dangerous having him there along with the other villains..then again, even though the four argue and seemingly hate each other as they are like rivals for Beryl in a way, it feels like they still care about each other like Brothers. For example, how Kunzite said he didn't like how they weren't complete as a four, since back then Zoiciste hasn't reawoken yet, so he got Mercury. lol...Usagi's so lost- very cute. Yeh..I actually didn't know TuxedoKamen knew that early, even as Sailor V. Can't wait to watch the next episode....the prelude of the coming episode looks great! Oww....more sad stuff? I didn't think she would be the next target..when I saw Mio do the eye thing, I thought it was just to stop Naru from having lunch with Usagi and Ami at the roof top. .....I wonder what she did to her..turn her against Usagi and the others? Thinking about it now...they didn't show Naru ever since that time I don't think. *worries*

I was able to watch the next Act (Act 36) *spoiler Sct 36* I pretty much enjoyed the first half of it; until Sailormoon turned into Princess Sailormoon.. It gave me a very uneasy feeling; as she looked very serious, and angry. I know she should be angry that Queen Beryl is trying to take Endymion away from her... but it's kinda scary >.< ((I'm also getting weird ideas as to what might have happened in Act 47 which could have ruined the story..)) Princess sailormoon seemed to be fighting recklessly, and no longer is her innocent personality there. I wonder what had happened.. Oh yea.. I saw the ugly Young Queen beryl... eww... her hair is bad!

*bashes head into desk* You guys are killing me!!! -ish I am not over act.47 but I am able to watch the final episodes. Sadly due to it being Septemeber 11th they didn't an episode last saturday. And Jen, your so RIGHT about Princess Sailor Moon. I do beleive they go into it more the next ep (you'll watch) What did you think about what Beryl did to Nephrite? (I ain't saying what it was just incase it was the episode after) And now that Mio's secret is out dosn't mean she's gone. She will still act as Beryl's shadow thing. And DS, it isn't Mio who hurts Naru... oh the writters really know how to make you feel for all the characters. I am so sad after watching some of these episodes. Also does anyone else enjoy the 'bond' Rei and Minako have, it is so much like the manga. Unlike the anime were Rei and Usagi had the bond. GO WRITTERS KNOWING HOW TO PLEASE THE FANS!

Act 36 Princess Sailormoon appears is so different to Usagi in terms of personality. She is very powerful, especially how she used that sword, reflecting and whacking away every attack. She seems very ruthless, not caring if it hurted anyone else, but wanting Endymion back for herself. Even the Sailor senshi were affected (or scared) of the attacks and blasts. In a way, I was kinda scared of Princess Sailormoon myself- she had a very strong, determined face. She looked like she was in trance and somehow evil. After making Nephrite stab himself, I hope Nephrite would finally realize that he has been manipulated by Beryl. He can’t die could he? I mean..the most is turning back into a stone. I hope he isn’t stupid enough to take orders from her again. It’s nothing to do with Naru right? *hopes not* At one stage, I was wondering what could have happened in Act 47 that made you (Digilee) didn’t like it so much. (did it turn out ok?) Taking a few guesses, I previously came up with: -homosexual relationships: then again, you’re not that type of person to judge people by that -Minako dies: since you love Sailor Venus so much - And now, after watching Act 36, I so hope it’s got nothing to do with Princess Sailormoon being a evil person from her past life, the reason for the destruction of the planet. (*shakes head* me and my crazy thought ) I quite like their relationship… seems like Rei is the only one who truly knows about Minako. They started out not so well, but it really feels that Minako wants to be Rei’s friend (from the very time they met and how they quarreled with each other. In a way, there’s this friendly rival between them. For example, when they first met- dog poster, dog food, and how Venus tells Mars she’s the leader and that Mars is only her substitute). I didn’t know that they shared that bond in the manga, since I didn’t read it, but hey, I like that idea. I wonder why they changed that in the anime.

You know... Naru and Nephrite never make contact (so far) in the series. Only the anime gave them that relationship. But he does come back and its actually cool but you guys will be in the dark for about 3 episodes I am actually still confussed about it but owell! WRONG~ None of that happends in act.47 and even if it did I can't say. Yes, in the manga they grew a strong bond. In the middle of the 5th arc (stars) Rei and Minako are confronted by Yaten, Taki and Seiya and they state they don't need men for they have each other (non-sexual way) but then they get killed.... *cough* The manga is much like the live action. Venus took the form as the 'princess' untill Sailor Moon became Serenity. Venus was more distant at times and took lead as leader of the inners. The anime changed it for plot reasons... Minako and Usagi = Dumb girls, So Rei and Usagi would be 'funny' and they played Makoto and Minako more of friends in the anime unlike the manga were Makoto and Ami were closer. Does that sum it up?
