Sailor Moon's return! How can an anime save us all? A huge throwback to the 90s cult classic.

It was the 90’s… my weekend mornings, kicked off with a bowl of chocolate cereal in one hand, hiding the remote under some cheeks and consisted of me making excuses why I couldn't do my chores yet. Why miss any moment of the fight scenes?!

To date, I still catch myself humming the theme song.

Fighting evil by moonlight, Winning love by daylight, never running from a real fight! Once played you can’t help but join in the nostalgia. It gets in all the memory nooks & crannies.

That is "Moonlight Densetsu" (ムーンライト伝説)("Moonlight Legend") a lyrical that served as an opening theme song for the anime series, Sailor Moon.

Catchy as the theme song is. The Japanese variant mainly expresses the romance behind the anime. Compared to its American counterpart.

Join the club all you hopeless romantics out there this simple 2D story has everything from comedy, action, and my guilty pleasure. Deep I’ve got your back for days, 360 romance. Shining light on the classical saying. Love makes the world go round. Be it your friends, neighbors, colleagues, and that occasional nosy aunt, we all love to hate.

Netflix just made it worse for me by releasing a movie. Say goodbye to my dogs' pitch-sensitive ears I'll be singing instead of humming. This June 3rd, 2021.?

Fumio Osano, Takeuchi’s longtime editor at publishing house Kodansha, said in a statement when the first announcement was released. “We are excited to bring these movies to our fans through Netflix. Amidst these challenging times, it is our greatest pleasure for viewers to feel courage and hope by watching this story about love and justice.”

Exactamundo. Love, justice, courage, and hope. For the newbies to the fandom who have no idea what this article is about. Allow me to be that crazy lady with the foam finger 1 to usher you in. Sailor Moon's return can most certainly save us all.


Here are 3 reasons why:

1)????Altruistic

She is all about the greater good and sacrifices for that greater good.

Countless times, this girl gets herself killed for the people she loves and even the I don’t know you people of the world. A mindset that can definitely ripple our beloved and not-so, heads of state & politicians. Especially when placed on the hot seat of economic pressure and social norms.

2)????Wide-eyed & young at heart

Derpy, this heroine is the epitome of face palm.

Many may perceive her as na?ve, when in fact this trait is what gives her an advantage over any antagonist she encounters. How? look at it this way, as a parent you know if you do not consistently feed and acknowledge your child. In this case the inner child in productive ways, they would most likely throw a tantrum & be misguided. And ignoring this inner tantrum divulges and manifests into negative traits that weigh-in and inevitably becomes your kryptonite.?Forensic psychologist Stephen diamond, Los Angeles Ph.D. simply states:

?

We are told by society to "grow up," putting childish things aside. To become adults, we've been taught that our inner child--representing our child-like capacity for innocence, wonder, awe, joy, sensitivity and playfulness--must be stifled, quarantined or even killed. The inner child comprises and potentiates these positive qualities. But it also holds our accumulated?childhood?hurts,?traumas, fears and angers.

?

A new, mutually beneficial, cooperative, symbiotic relationship can be created in which the sometimes conflicting needs of both the adult self and inner child can be creatively satisfied.

3)????Whiner

She is not perfect, and she knows it. Episodes to episodes we find our hero graduating into higher grades of self-understanding and emotionally stabilizing where she once was.

She is outspoken and when in doubt she is not afraid to say it. Careful of the ever daunting I don’t want people to think I am stupid, or I don’t want people to find me emotional notion. Many of us deprive ourselves of the readily available human herd encyclopedia. Like in the animal kingdom we humans survive and thrive in socializing and learning from one another. But being incommunicative about these unbeknownst and undeveloped capabilities or understandings is a self-limiting factor rather than saving face.?
