Lament of the Mind

charliebowater:

I vividly remember a few moments from when I was growing up that - as corny as it sounds, felt like they’d altered my life a little bit. One was when I was six years old and I watched The Little Mermaid for the first time and the other: Sailor Moon when I was 13. I can’t even describe how much they blew my young mind and I’m sure they’re some of the biggest influences that nudged me into art. 

Both have a certain reverence with me and as much as I drew them growing up neither of them are something I’ve painted now that I’m all grown up, there’s definitely a feeling that whatever I paint won’t do justice to it but; I adored Sailor Moon from the very first second I saw it on tv. I would wake up at the crack of dawn before school to watch this and then race home again afterwards to watch the repeat. I think it’s about time I paid homage to one of my favourite anime’s ever; Sailor Moon!

I am also totally effing stoked for the reboot coming soon!

Sailor Moon was my first real anime. I am a 23 year old man and I can still sing the song and do a near-perfect rendition of the transformation dance-twirl (NO, I WILL NOT DO THIS FOR YOU, DEAR GOD IT’S EMBARRASSING). I squeed and cheered when I heard about the reboot. I cannot WAIT to see more of this amazing series (and hopefully see the later arcs done well… god, everything after about the middle of the 3rd English season (So I guess S, SuperS, and Sailor Stars for those in the loop?) was almost unspeakably bad). Anyway, I want this anime to come back, uncensored, unchecked, and completely let loose the kind of raw emotion that the story deserves. And hopefully in a bit shorter format with less filler…but that’s just me being hopeful. I’ll still be happy to see the beauty of this show back on TV.
