I rarely ever make introduction posts for forums, so sorry if I come off as awkward in this.
Greetings, I'm Lunar Maria, but you all can just call me Maria! I've been a fan of Sailor Moon for almost half my life. I first saw the anime when I was around 9, and here I am today, almost 18, and still in love and obsessed with it. I recall fond memories of rushing home from school to catch an episode on TV, and asking my mom to record it for me. I would even pretend to be sick some days just so I could watch it. XD
My favorite senshi hands down is Sailor Mars, if it wasn't already made obvious that I'm a walking Mars fan. Some of my other favorite senshi are Venus, Pluto, and Saturn. I also like Chibiusa, Mamoru, and Artemis (no, scratch that, all of the moon cats. Maria has a soft spot for kitties!) I also have a huge fondness for villains, and I love most of the ones that Sailor Moon has to offer.
My favorite form of Sailor Moon would have to be PGSM. I first came across it in 2007, so that made me around the age of... 12? I think so. I simply loved the character development and the additions they made to the storyline and all that Rei/Minako subtext. And it amused me as well, with all of the cheesy effects. I'm a sucker for cheesy effects. I loved PGSM so much, and the 12-year-old me was so sad that it only lasted one arc, that I actually wrote a fanfic covering the rest of the arcs. I never made it past the black moon clan arc, but 12-year-old me was just so proud of myself and secretly hoping that the show's creators would find it and decide to make more seasons of the show. Alas, I can only dream now.
Besides PGSM, I've read most of the manga and I've seen most of the anime. I've yet to watch Sera Myu, but I love musicals and it seems pretty interesting. Perhaps joining this forum will give me some incentive to actually watch it? :)
And of course, I will mention my favorite couples. If I had to choose an OTP for this series, it would Rei/Minako hands down (I bet you all didn't see that coming!) They just really click together, and I now have a difficult time of thinking of them as anything besides girlfriends. XD
I also like Usagi/Mamoru, Ami/Nephrite, Makoto/Motoki, Haruka/Michiru, and Chibiusa/Helios. Oh, plus Luna/Artemis. <3
By the way, I have some otaku senshi as well. But I'm afraid to share them, since I feel like they're really boring and that nobody would be interested in them. >.<
Now, let's talk a little bit about me. I'm 17, soon turning 18, I'm a junior in high school, I go half the day to a technical school where I learn drafting. I love drawing (I'm awful at it, though), writing, and making games. Besides Sailor Moon, I love Final Fantasy, My Little Pony, and Pokemon. I have three cats, and I'm an Aquarius. I also like to RP, and I occasionally talk in third person. XD
Well, its nice meeting you all! ^_^
