Hi! Just recently found out about this site and figured I had to register here as well. :-) Like many people, I used to watch Sailor Moon as a kid back when it aired on TV, which is why I today have pretty strong emotional ties with the series. Later on in life I of course also had to go through the rest of the anime, (only the first two seasons of the 90s anime were dubbed in Swedish) read the manga, Codename: Sailor V and watch the live action series. I still have yet to watch all the musicals!

Though I've mostly just lurked around in different newsgroups, bulletin boards and such, it wasn't until about Crystal premièred that I really felt the need to try and participate in any international Sailor Moon community. Mostly because I've never been overly confident with my English. Just a couple of months ago I took a big step and finally registered at sailormoonforum.com, so I might already recognize a few names if you're also members there.

Other than Sailor Moon and cartoons/anime in general, I'm also very much into vintage video games and electronics.

Nice to meet you all, I'm very happy to be here! :-)

Welcome Eldsjal!! Glad to have you on board and that you found our little community ^^ It's awesome that you want to get more involved in the Sailor Moon world! We have a discussion forum for all versions of Sailor Moon that you can jump in to! Don't worry so much about your English ^^ We have a few members that aren't originally English speakers ^^ And we're all pretty easygoing and nice, so don't be worried about talking to us in some threads!!

Who's your favorite character or characters from the series? ^^

Thank you! :-) That would be Rei-chan, mostly because of her anime persona. She behaves in a pretty contradictory way (I guess you'd say), having a hot temper but shifts between being really mean or calm and friendly. She consider herself a traditionalist but is probably more into pop culture than she'd like to admit, and so on. Its stuff like that which makes her human and also a very fun character in my opinion.

Welcome to GC, Eldsjäl - it's great to have you here! ^-^ I'm Vivien
Just like Diana said: You are not the only one who isn't a native English speaker. My English is in need of improvement, too - so don't worry
Hey, you are from Sweden? That's pretty cool Only the Baltic Sea is between us xD

Which of the adaptations you saw do you like best? And what about a favorite arc? Mine are S and Stars (can't decide between them )

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it here - Whenever you want to talk my PM box is always open

Welcome to the forum! 

Oooh, vintage videogames and electronics! Do you collect them?

Welcome! I think I love you already - anime Rei is my favourite too. ^.~

Your English is very good, so don't worry about that! And as said, we have a few English as an Additional Language speakers so you're in good company. <3

Wahrlich! :-) It's not that far to travel, I've been to Germany many times myself, you seem to have it pretty nice there!

My favourite part of the entire franchise will always be, I think, the Dark Kingdom Arc of the 90's anime. :-) S is really good too, I agree.

Thank you! :-) And yes I do, as a matter of fact I own most of the official Sailor Moon video games that were made.

You speak German?! That's cool!
The only word I know in Swedish is Köttbullar but only because of my visits at IKEA xD

Well to some extent, I've studied the German language but are by no means an expert. :-)

I often wonder why meatballs would be considered to be more traditionally Swedish than any sort of dish involving strömming (Swedish east-coast herring), or Bismarckhering as you probably say it.

Hello and welcome to the GC!! My name is Batgirl and I'm so glad you've joined. Don't worry you speak really good English. ^-^ Oh yes, you must get into the musicals they're really amazing! I absolutely adore them.  Do you have any favorite villains from any of the SM adaptations?

Oh hi! I know you from SMF! Nice to see you here!

Thank you! I've read many good things about the SeraMyus, is there any musical in particular that you'd recommend? :-)

I don't really have a favourite villain, though I've always found Nephrite to be interesting, seeing how he sort of turn good in episode 24.

Hiya Hypno! I recognize you as well! :-)

I would definitely recommend Gaiden Dark Kingdom Fukkatsu Hen, Yume Senshi - Ai - Eien ni... Saturn Fukkatsu Hen!, Eien Densetsu (Kaiteiban), and Kaguya Shima Densetsu.   

EDIT: However, I'm still watching them so there will probably be more in my list eventually. 

hiya! im the forums resident cat! i should probably say im the forums resident multi fandom cat but i wont get into that.. LOL im also of the older gen.... haha, you can call me luna or as is the thing here greenpea!

Alrighty then, nice to meet you GreenPea!

welcome to the forum! and don't worry about your english, most people's first language isn't english either, plus you speak very good english as well C: as far as musical recommendations go, i really like the earlier musicals, especially the one that's based of the super s arc. C: feel free to go visit the sailor myu musical forum for any advice on which musical to start on! i know they're a great help! c: feel free to pm me or any other member of the staff team if you need help. ^ ^

Thank you! Then it would be a good idea to watch them chronologically in the order they were made? :-)

Welcome to GC Eldsjal! Who's your least favourite Senshi? Do you like cats? (random question) What is your favourite anime other than Sailor Moon?

Thanks Elyon! :-) I'd probably pick Chibi Moon as my least favourite. And I sure love cats!

My favourite anime besides Sailor Moon? That's a difficult question but I really like Fushigi Yuugi (although I haven't watched the whole series yet) and Space Cobra.

welcommmmeeee! i hope you enjoy your time in the GC=)

Thank you! :-) I already know I'll like it here!

Hey there! Welcome! I am the members director, so if you have any questions, please feel free to message me.

Vintage video games huh? I am a Nintendo fan girl. I have every generation console and am working on collecting all the games I can for the SNES.

There are plenty of great discussions around the forums as well as our Guilds for artists, writers, and cosplayers.

Have a great time with us and visit often. There is always something new popping up, and thanks for being part of GC!

Thanks I appreciate it! :-) And its really cool that you are collecting SNES games, I can imagine that you own several of the Sailor Moon titles then? Or do you collect for Super Famicom as well? :-)

I really kind of collect what ever I come across. ^^ But I do not have any of the SM games. v.v Hopefully I can find some one day.

if you ant to want to watch them in order that's fine but you can easily jump around for the most part and watch what you want first except for the four in the dracul series those must be watched in order or they do get confusing as things from the first of the four are mentioned in the later three as well as repeat characters showing up constantly. other than the dracul musicals though you can pretty well bounce around the others as you see fit my first myu was actually in the middle of the second stage and the first musical was one of the last ones i watched. Any way welcome to gc!!!!!!!!!!! and I personally am a fan of the musicals starting after Stars Kaitaban than again I'm a biased myu fan because best Uranus shows up there but totally not the point. hope you enjoy your time here ^_^

That's good to know! And thank you for the welcome! :-)
