I agree Sakura, my friend, japanese, dyed her hair to look like manga Michiru and it worked.
Do cartoon characters look like real people? No. Why? CAUSE ITS NOT REAL! Its ment to be drawn in a more simple way to appeal to people. That is the reason why! I mean... if we go by the hair colors then only Rei and Hotaru are japanese? >< arg... I can't beleive someone brought that up.

No... Just because Usagi has blonde hair.. it doesnt exactly mean she's westernised.. or like a total bimbo.. (That's y I liked how Usagi has her normal hair in Sailormoon Live Action- it clarifies it..) Getting back into the topic... Act 38 was so..... DIFFERENT! ** ** It was very unexpecting when Princess Sailormoon admitted that she destroyed the earth... I can't believe it.. I won't believe it... There must be something behind it >.< Princess Sailormoon's power and Queen Metaria's power works together- simultaneously... how can that be? It wasn't Serenity's fault the earth was destroyed.. but more of in the lines of whoever had stabbed Endymion in the first place... Princess Serenity loved Endymion, and I don't see how love should be forbidden.... I hope something good works out... I'm guessing the earth may have been destroyed because Endymion was destroyed.. and he was the guardian of the Earth. I wonder where Beryl fit in this whole past thing. Anyhows, I must say this storyline is VERY interesting.. and it makes the destruction of the Moon Palace way more INTERESTING.. than the anime. The anime was all purely good vs evil~ while here.. there's a mix of gray areas... it's shocking and suspensful!

*phew* sign of relief .
Nephrite turned out worst than I expected… he is so evil, a total reject. Glad he hates Beryl.
I just thought it was really funny how Ami and Makoto were pretending to be Usagi. That scene was hilarious. Ami’s hair looked artificial. I’m pretty sure she couldn’t tie her hair like that with her usual hair length…
I felt that episodes 38 was a great episode that showed heaps of flashbacks of important scenes of Usagi x Mamoru, Sailormoon x Tuxedo Kamen- sums up basically their relationship.
Totally agree with you there ChibiJen. It’s heaps more exciting… even Makoto said that if only destroying the villains would end this…it would be a whole lot easier. I was very shocked to hear her admit it too. It was a shocker… How could good be linked to evil? Sounds very complicated to solve..I wonder how the other Senshi feel about their princess now, knowing she was the cause to destruction of the world. How did everyone get reborn then? Where’s Queen Serenity? Interesting enough, they don’t focus that much on the Sailor senshi protecting their princess in their past life.

I just finished watching Act 39..... and I don't really like it. I mean, for goodness sake.. Mamoru/Endymion is getting on my nerves.. What is his problem?! errrr.... it's irritating... >.< I hope the story is going to improve.. because this episode wasn't very funny.. or interesting.. Her mum and the manager are crazy...

True.. felt that Act 39 was a downfall in terms of climax. I was hoping they would get back more into Mamoru and Usagi's relationship and what Beryl plans to do in terms of mission etc. In Act 38 when they were showing what was going to happen in the next episode when it was in such a climax, I thought the silly stuff the manager was doing with Usagi's mother wasn't part of the next episode and just merely something to entertain the audience, while not revealing what would happen next. I'd didn't quite like that part either..the manager is so girly, he and Usagi's mother are so crazy together. I don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for Luna and Artemis, having to kiss him... I'm guessing that they would explain more of what's happening with Mamoru later on in the story and his reasons for treating Usagi that way + the battle between Endymion and Kunzite. From when they appeared at the beginning of Act 39, Kunzite's injured. I guessing that Endymion defeated him..why else would Kunzite listen to his orders? Then again, even if Endymion defeated him, wouldn't still not fully follow his words? That's the impression I get from seeing Kunzite and his personality. Endymion/Mamoru looks fully conscious in what he is doing and does not seem brainwashed, but acts from his own will. What puzzles me, is that he wants to kill Usagi, yet, towards the end of the episode he just goes off when he could finish just killed off Sailormoon. What's the point in saying that he would be back again..then something about able to be with her. The only thing I could come up with is that he is following Beryl's command (or appears to be), to keep her quiet and away from the four generals (or should I say 3) for the meantime..for a way to reawaken Metaria at the same time, but stop it from destroying the Earth? Doesn't make sense...I must have misinterpret it.

Act. 39 was just a big filler episodes, comical releife from the high-drama going on. It was nice to finally get a few laughs in. Was anyone else hopeing Shingo would fall off? I know I was XD Poor Artemis... his first kiss.... to 'that'... Owell. He'll live! Act. 40 is also a big comical episode but act. 41 gets back to the main story line. 41 is a really good episodes and really heats things up. Everything changes and its just a great turn in the series. BIG NEWS ACT. 49 HAS BEEN OFFICALY NAMED THE FINAL ACTYeah... looks like act. 49 is the end for the live action... unless its just the end of season one... *LETS HOPE* Does anyone have a favorite episode yet? I have a favorite scene! In Act. 18 when all five senshi do their poses with Venus leading. And then they do it like in slow motion 5 times to the tune of Sailor Dreams.

Favourite scene huh? From the Atcs I've seen so far........ *yea.. another spoiler sign* I really liked the scene where Sailormoon was defending TuxedoKamen from Kunzite; not knowing he was indeed Mamoru- she gets really injured and runs off; with Tuxedokamen chasing her. Then she realises he IS mamoru! How sweet! XD -------- The posing scene was pretty good too!! It looked funny, and pretty! I was also excited to see Sailor venus's first transformation

I got a few favourites (from what I could recall, though I can't remember the Act) up until Act 40..I hope there would me more =) My favourite scenes has got to be the ones with Mamoru and Usagi togther (very vague answer ey?) lol...I can't decide Other favourite scenes I could fink of atm: *When SailorVenus and Zoisite met outside the hospital- how they fought, and when they talked afterwards *At the end of Act 35 (I think that's it), when the four generals meet Mamoru- how they merged Mamoru's room (in London) to Zoicite's place- At this time, Mamoru still doesn't know much about his past, while Jedite has no clue, Nephrite frustrated because he can't remember, Zoicte trying to restore their memories, and Kunzite wanting to kill his master. Short scene..but awesome. (Btw, I mentioned these before- just repeating myself) I thought that part looked cool It was the first time the 5 senshi did their poses together. Princess SailorVenus fit so well portraying as their princess, while Sailormoon look like a normal senshi. It was like they finally reunited - - - I thought something more significant would come out of Shingo falling off the bridge..something like Sailormoon saving him. Oh wellz

ahhhhhhhhh!! I loved Act 40! It is the most funny episode I've seen so far XD It was really entertaining..... and it was cute too ^.^ The senshi were doing so much crazy things... Like Ami's butt attack..lol Luckily Minako didnt quit singing.. it would be a shame if she did.

Well Jen, you got the funny, you laughed, you may of been moved at the end with Minako in the end by herself. Act. 41 is a dramatic blast of 'WOW' Act. 41 has to be one of my favorite episodes to tell you the truth. Minako isn't in it... Minako isn't actually in that many episodes. Only Luna, Usagi, Ami, Rei & Beryl have been in everyepidoe. So, Act. 41, get ready for a great episode... oh its so sad at the end, have a tissue ready!

I finally got to watch Act 41, it was a good episode, but wasn't that sad at the end ^^;; I thought it was going to be really sad .. Not as good as I had anticipated; but a fairly good Act. I just thought it was very.... :S ----- Princess sailormoon is...so evil Why? She gives me the creeps when she appears... >.> Poor Naru though... I feel sorry for Usagi, having that kind of person within her. Wow.. two identities revealed in one Act... I wonder how Motoki feels about knowing Makoto is Jupiter, and Naru knowing Usagi is Sailormoon... Motoki is really cute, and funny... Too bad Makoto rejected him in the past..I guess It couldnt be helped.. I also liked seeing Ami with Nephrite... hehe.. he is so ODD! lol

I've just finished Act 43.. aww..... it's gonna finish soon Act 40 was quite an enjoyable episode. Funny and silly. There's still that rivalry between Minako and Rei..you could tell she didn't really want to give up what she had. I thought it was pretty nice of the manager to set it up. I also quite enjoy watching parts with Nephrite in his normal form and how he reacts, especially towards Mamoru and the other senshi. The names Motoki call him sound so funny. Motoki is such a nice guy; I think it would be great if Makoto would be with him. I mean he's pretty generous to take in Nephrite after what he did to him- could you say they developed a friendship? I feel sorry for Nephrite’s character and the way he is so ashamed, calling himself “unsightly”. I thought Act 41 was a pretty good episode and how Motoki and Naru found out their identity. A shocker…more realistic though, don’t you think? Yeh..they didn’t really show Motoki’s reaction like afterwards at The Crown. -nods- that part with Dark Mercury throwing him a cape seems quite significant, showing heaps of flashback to that scene. I’m guessing that’s what made Nephrite save Mercury (back in some episode) Don’t you think they would make a great couple? Act 42 Ahh…I felt that part with Luna in the bathroom was very humorous and how she introduced herself to Shingo, “I’ll punish you” then crawl-cat-like up the steps o.o Luna seemed so embarrassed. Lol Act 43 I’m really starting to get annoyed at Princess Sailormoon… “Endymion” is all she cares about, and how she just appears here and there playing the harp. (The harp heals? Maybe there’s still hope J ) You don’t really see any bond between her and her soldiers, unlike Endymion and the four generals. Her face expression is also rather dull. You can do it Usagi-chan! P.s: I liked the scene near the end of Act 43, where Zoisite was talking with Kunzite, watching over Mamoru.

Act 41, 42 and 43 were quite good to watch.. a little repetitive with the fighting against Youmas though With Act 43.... I was so excited by the fact that Usagi and Mamoru were going to kiss; since I've always wondered- Mamoru only ever hugs her, but never kisses... whereas the anime- they do it all the time... I was so disappointed by the fact that it's a .. SHADOW!! You can't see a thing.. and I bet they didnt even kiss when acting How... unromantic..~_~ *sigh* The preview of the next Act looks very convincing! Ya know, the generals' relationship with Endymion make the storyline so much more interesting... I wonder why they got rid of it all in the anime I appreciate their characters so much more here; whereas the their importance in the anime, is minimal.. They just come and die XD Zoicite and Kunzite has a relationship?! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT ALL ABOUT?! Thank goodness that doesnt happen in Live action *shivers*

Before I start, I was on a live action chat thing and so many people didn't even get what happend in act.47 so you guys may not get it. Act. 48 has a new set of opening credits (I miss the first 10 min when it aired on tv) Sailor Luna is now in it. For all who hate Mio she finally gets a nice kick in the ass^^ And Mars uses Burning Mendala, which looks really cool. Has she used it yet... cause it looks familir but I don't remeber... Usagi/Ami: Hello. Motoki: Welcome! Hey say "welcome!" Usagi: New part-timer? Motoki: Yeah... his name is... Um... Nephenie. Usagi: -while giggling- Nephenie? Ami: Stop it. Don't laugh. Nephrite: You bastard! You've given me a mokcing name yet again! Motoki: No good? Nephrite: It's obvious it's "no good"! Man I laughed so much when they did that. Poor Neph... He has gone through so much.... He died and now he is a laughing stock... Eh... I liked Dark Mercury and Kunzite, I think they would of made a better couple. But thats just me... they both seemed to be very twisted. Unlike the Manga I don't think any of the senshi would fit with the new generals, they just don't seem to work. Maybe Zoicite and Venus since they both seem to care for their 'masters' the most. Meh, thats just what I think. --------------------- I remeber awhile ago some was said it was funny how the senshi couldn't say 'V'enus but said 'B'enus. Well the letter 'V' dosn't exsist in japanese. The japanese name for venus is Kinsei. Takeuchi Naoko decided to use the 'english' words for the planets instead of the japanese. So it COULD be an international hit and so everyone would call them the same thing. Are all of you getting sick of the 'next time' showing Princess Sailor Moon at the end with a white background and always saying "Endymion".... We get it! Princess Serenity loves Endymion more then her friends and family!

Yes... the ending part gives me the shivers.. Princess sailormoon has this really weird dull facial expression on her.. but I guess that's how we can tell the difference between Usagi, and the princess... As for Mio; If I was Usagi in Act 43 I would have slapped her on the face... Mio was simply standing next to Usagi ~_~, and she didnt do a thing At times, I get confused as to who wants what to happen. Like When Princess Sailormoon awakens, using the Mystical Silver Crystal- The senshi/Tux wants her to stop... (so her power doesn't empower Metaria).. yet~ Queen Beryl herself, also wants the power to stop. Either way, the Senshi and Generals and Queen Beryl all want Earth not to be destroyed.. so who is the evil one?? I can't wait for the next Act~ it looks very exciting-
