I hate getting sick. Then again who likes to get sick? I feel it coming; dizziness, upset stomach, headaches, Plus when i get sick everything tastes like crap. I had some Chicken noodle soup and I love Chicken noodle soup, but it tasted like crap. Well not like i can miss work, so staying home isn’t an option, I need to get better so I can work so I can get more FIGURES!! I canceled Nia and Louise, I preferred post time skip Nia to kid Nia. Plus the fact that i’m broke doesn’t help the situation. They re-released the Max Factory Rin Kokonoe figure, but then I’ve only seen the OVA of Kodomo No Jikan, and read like the first chapter. What if I end up not liking the series and I already have the figure? Do I go through the Hassle of selling it off… Or do I risk it and buy her anyways? Well I can’t right now anyways I already said i’m broke :(. I’m really behind on the new season, but i do hate waiting for subs, or pointlessly watching shows I know nothing about. I’m only really keeping track of Clannad and Myself;Yourself. So I’m going to get caught up on older series while I wait and see if something else grabs my attention. So i’m watching Sailor Moon SuperS, I was watching it a while back but stopped because the whole circus deal and the horse got boring, but I keep hearing amazing things about Sailor Moon Stars so i’m gonna try and get caught up with Sailor Moon SuperS and so I can move onto Stars.

I know what being broke feels like! I know it all too well! Hahahahaha!! Damn magazines, figures, bath towel (wtf?!), videogames, and GAS….
SuperS does get tiresome, especially Chibiusa’s “Onegai Pegasus” crap and her rabu-rabu with a horse…. But SuperS is a MUST SEE in terms of the first 10-ish episodes of Stars. The SuperS story actualyl FINISHES in Stars.
Stars does a lot of dramatic changes to the Sailormoon “formula,” in a few ways. From SM to R to S to SuperS, you basically brought in new characters, new powerups, and new villains. SuperS feels tedious because you gone through 140+ episodes of it. S was amazing in the sense that it was darker and actually brought in new solid characters. SuperS though has a lot of filler and a lot of characters. However, as you get towards the end, the story gets really good.
Stars, on the other hand, strips away a lot of that stuff and goes back to the basics. Although Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, Hotaru, Chibiusa, and Mamoru are all absent from the story or play a much smaller role. They bring in the Starlights, but they’re quite entertaining. However, the core to Stars is something that hasn’t been around since probably Sailormoon R, the relationship between Usagi and Mamoru, and a focus on just Usaga, Rei, Ami, Mina, and Makoto.
Not to mention they changed the OP song. Moonlight Densetsu had been running for 160 something episodes, so changing it was a big move if you think about it. They changed in S and SuperS, but it was the same song, just different artist (DALI vs. Moon Lips).

I just realized that my comment was almost as long as your entry
I’m too verbose.
