The most insane part of Sailor Moon Abridged was that I haven't watched a single second of the actual Sailor Moon and yet I'm laughing like crazy with Abridged.
@Xbalanque84 I was like you once. Final Fantasy meets Disney characters? It sounded so stupid, but one day I played Kingdom Hearts 2 out of curiosity and I regretted avoiding it for years.
In the anime the guy wasn't stalking Ami. He could see the future and got her attention to keep her from getting crushed by debris from an accident at a construction site she was passing. Also Usagi did give him that picture.
In the manga Mamuru is 16 going to 17 and goes to College early. Don't ask me why they aged him up in the English dub, also the bit with the cats is paraphrasing the end of Gone with the Wind
Huh. Wonder where that falls under Japan's heterogeneous age of consent laws... would actually probably be deemed acceptable stateside (narrow enough age gap to let slide).
Jupiter was my favorite. Tall, tomboy. Her design was just hotter in my personal opinion. Venus was later established as a funny airhead and thus became my second favorite
16:10 Beryl's responses are all puns. But Metallia's suggestions are all episodes that Sailor Moon had during this arc that the Abridged version just didn't cover.
@poleimas7133 Oh, absolutely those episodes were just filler. Sailor Moon is a 200 episode long series, and I expect if you removed all the filler episodes it'd be less than 50. Maybe less than 30. But using filler episodes for one line jokes rather than actually covering them is a great way to abridge the series.
In the manga the Four Heavenly Kings were Prince Endymion's generals and advisors and were each in a relationship with one of the Sailor Scouts/Senshi. Jadeite and Mars, Kunzite and Venus, Nephrite and Jupiter, and Zoisite and Mercury. Originally the series was meant to end on a tragic note where it's revealed that each of the girls (except Mercury) killed their former lovers, Tuxedo Mask dies while mind controlled, the girls died in the final battle with Metalia, and then Sailor Moon defeats Metalia at the cost of her life. The whole thing was supposed to be a tragedy that essentially played out almost exactly like it did in their past lives. Until Naoko Takeuchi's editor prevented it by saying "THIS IS SHOUJO MANGA!!!" and Takeuchi backed out of her tragic ending. She was *not* happy when the anime was allowed to kill everyone off (albeit with them being revived with no memories) but she wasn't.
"Oh so THEY get to kill them off but when IIII want to suddenly it's a bad idea!" "well if it helps, they dropped the 'killing their past lovers' angle and left their natures incredibly ambiguous and immediately undid their deaths anyway." "...it does not."
@animalia5554 For the story bits, you can just read the Manga, it left in all the stuff about the girls and the heavenly kings, just not the 'everyone dies' part. As for the interview, it's a common talking point on sailor moon groups, but I'm pretty sure the interview itself was *before* the internet really took off, so there's no convenient transcript I can find to point you to.
26:21 So this whole scene with the cats is actually line for line a recreation of the movie “Gone With The Wind”. Just replace the word lick with kiss. The joke is that the green cat in the anime is actually named Rhett Butler, who was the lead character of that movie. So it’s weird that whoever made Sailor Moon put something as old as movie from the 1930’s in a kids anime.
I always assumed it was like how Disney movies have adult (not that kind) references in them, it's to give the parents something to enjoy if they watch with their kids xD
39:09 I've hear that the "Ate and left no crumbs," line is a reference to DBZA where, after Goku changed the fall off a horse expression to eat that horse, Gohan defeats Cell and declares, "Horse eaten."
I wonder why nobody in chat told you that TFS had merged both parts together, added jokes in the video and credits, added Tom and made more Toonami-esqe bumpers and called it the Full Moon Edition
Since I don't think anyone has pointed it out yet in this comment section, the bit from 27:55 onward in the airport was Africa by Toto. I bless the rains down in Africa~🎶
So, this one of the craziest changes between the manga and the anime: Nephrite, Zoisite, and Kunzite where only in a single chapter. EACH. They all get killed in the chapter they're each introduced in. I don't remember the details with Jadeite, but it has been quite some time since I read the manga.
8:50 My favorite has always been Pluto. i don't care if NASA says it's not a planet anymore, "DEAD SCREAM" is the hardest name for an attack in the entire franchise. 30:10 Codename: Sailor V was the original and only had Venus. iirc they made an OVA from it with only a couple of episodes and then the mangaka kind of started over with the wider cast we have now.
Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Moon. Why that order - Jupiter - Tall and athletic while always being friendly Mars - Snarky, sexy, stylish Mercury - Smart and Cute Venus - Not sailor moon Moon - acted like the 8th grade girl. P.S. the entire section at 28:00 was the Lyrics for Toto's Africa.
For future reference, a skirt enters the "short" range when it stops above the knees. In Mari's case, the skirt stopped mid-thigh. So yes, very much on the short side.
yup, and that lenght the sailor guardians have is a miniskirt, as said in the dub. and speaking as someone who often wears skirts and is not an anime character: I prefer them short, normal (long for most people nowadays) is better for something really serious (funeral or something like that), miniskirts appear really cute but are unusable without something like leggings for example.
9:59 The worst part to me is that, by all rights, she should've been the team speedster. Fastest planet named after the fastest god, etc. Still, just having the bubbles forced her to get creative/smart with her abilities instead, which is never a bad thing.
That's a good point, actually. To my knowledge though, each planet has an associated element in Japan, which is what their powers are based on. The exact same associations are used in other Japanese media, such as Yugioh. Venus is the only one to get the Roman god connection because she was the protagonist of Sailor V, a manga that predates Sailor Moon. There was more room and intent to balance multiple cultural associations with only one character as the focus. Probably didn't have the wiggle room to expand past the base element associations with a team to focus on. According to another comment, the series was meant to end as a tragedy when they all died, so that could be another reason they only got the element association. No point fleshing them out more than that if they were meant to die. The series only continued because the editor nixed the idea, saying it wasn't right for the genre. Also explains the filler arc we got right after.
@spiritnova42 Even if one ignores the Roman/Greek mythology connection, Mercury the planet still orbits the fastest around the sun. You'd figure that'd be worth something. 🤷
@Brasswatchman That's assuming the author even knew that fact. The Sailor Moon manga ran from 1991 to 1997, but internet in Japan didn't really spread to the public until 1999. Any research would have been done the old fashioned way. Looking into it a bit more, Sailor V does "predate" Sailor Moon, but only by about 5 months (which I didn't realize until now). It ALSO ran from 1991 to 1997. Naoko Takeuchi was working on both manga at the same time for their entire runs. Knowing this, I'd be willing to bet Sailor Venus only got the mythology connection because "troubles in love" was a core theme of the Sailor V storyline. She probably researched that goddess specifically without looking into the rest of the pantheon much, assuming she even needed to do research beyond "Venus is the Goddess of Love". Also, each of the girl's names use kanji with meanings related to their element. The kanji for Sailor Mercury's name, "Ami Mizuno", can mean "Second Beauty of the Water". Between the planets and kanji used in their names, the author definitely seemed to be going all in on elemental affinities over anything else. I doubt she'd have had the time or mental bandwidth to look into other associations she might not know about.
I like all the sailor scouts, each for a different reason. Mercury for being smart, Mars for her confidece and sass, Jupiter for being strong yet kind, and Venus for...uhh... Well, there was that one episode a few seasons later where she was worried if her heart was pure, pushed herself into doing selfless things, like donating blood to the point of anemia. The monster of the week atracked her and a pure crystal came out...but through sheer strength of will, she stayed half-conscious and started running around, happy to know that her heart was indeed pure 😂 Also, in the dub over here, Luna and Artemis' genders were swapped, and Mars' VA was the same as Bulma 😅
So, in the whole segment with the couple who were going to go on a flight to Africa, every line of dialog was just quoting the lyrics to the song Africa, by Toto. Also, "because we're blondes" is a reference to "Cause I'm a Blonde", from Earth Girls Are Easy. Funny no one here's mentioned those references yet, but I guess old 80s references like those might fly over younger folks' heads.
It's even more obscure than just the movie. It's actually specifically a callback to an old AMV from the mid-2000s using that song, which incorporated a lot of Sailor Moon footage.
@anothergenericyoutubename Makes total sense, and given that I watched a LOT of AMVs back then, I suddenly feel like I missed out. Thanks for the tip.
@Xbalanque84 I mean, it's still up on RUclips. Just search "cause I'm a blond amv" and it'll be the first result. 15 years old, and that's a reupload, lol
if you had watched the compiled full version there were some extra joke reads in the credits and they split those starter spoilers into 3 groups for better effect
I can’t see sailor moon anymore with out thinking of the bare naked ladies song one week and how creepy it is… “gonna get in tune with sailor moon cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes they make me think the wrong thing”
26:32 So I guess this whole section is a riff on "Gone With The Wind" because the male cat is named "Rhett Butler" in the original Japanese subs? So that's where the rizz is coming from. Secondhand from Clark Gable.
@Brasswatchmanthank you!! The transformation scene was actually the first finished clip Scott sent me when they were in the editing process, and it seeing it unlocked the memory of wanting to be Sailor Moon as a kid. I remember watching it in the morning before elementary school and trying to do the whole sequence/pose. 😂 So I definitely teared up when I got to hear myself saying the line with the actual animation. 😭
I used to watch Sailor Moon every morning before middle & high school. That was the mid '90's, and I'm still just as weird. Also, YES, The College student dating a 14yo CAN ABSOLUTELY GET STABBED!!!!!!!
and... i just love the energy you gave this reaction video. great to watch someone that knows quite a bit of the show and gets their jokes from how it's played in the original dub. like the parfait for Naru/Molly, the picture of Ami eating a burger, Makoto fighting the guys that bumped Usagi, Rhett the cat and their Gone with the Wind, and all the song references between Andrew at the airport, "Because we're blondes yeah yeah yeah", Blondie references by Queen Beryl at the end
In the original series Usagi is 14 and Mamoru is 17, so at the time they would've been legally fine to date as Japan's age of consent was 13 (though individual prefectures sometimes raised it). Their relationship is still legal despite age of consent being bumped to 16 recently, as once you hit 13 you can consent as long as the other party is no more than five years older. These ages actually still work in Canada too, due to close in age exceptions.
@ZalemMoonyou are correct there is nothing to be ashamed of that was a poor choice of wording using ashamed as a descriptor. I love me some animation even to this day hajime no ippo is one of my favorites all good 🐼👍
Didn't think to check until I read your comment - thanks for *that* mental image 😅 Also, in light of found definition, a "chocolate parfait" is so, so much worse... 😱
Everyone that watched Sailor Moon abridged proceeded to search up what a Parfait was, and then was followed by being utterly grossed out by how freaky Naru was after she said, "Chocolate."
@LeviathanTamer31 Probably best you didn't anyways. There's a reason why he said to just kill him now. Although, I did read else where that the parfait is actually just a reference to the actual Sailor Moon episode. I don't quite remember what the reference was, but it had something to do with Nephrite buying Naru a parfait.
Kind of wish you saw the “Full Moon Edition” TFS just put out. Natalie doesn’t combine both parts in one video, it shows some alternate scenes as well as an awesome opening that hints that they may be doing other abridged shows from Toonami. I hope to God they do an abridged version of mobile suit Gundam Wing.🤞🤞
Sailor Jupiter, of course. I had a crush on her as a kid and I’m not gonna deny that. as for why I liked her the most honestly, I feel like she was the most grounded out of them, the most relatable. Plus I can’t deny I like really tall woman.
And of course, the whole joke there hinges on whether or not Nephrite is overthinking what she wanted. But then, every word around Nephrite was basically sending the wrong message (he wasn't really going to do anything to Naru, but he made the other two Generals think he was).
@jamg25 Imagine what that would be like if a girl walks in on her brothers watching DBZ. Maria: That guy sounds like Tuxedo Mask. Juan: What? That's Lord Frieza. Emperor of the Universe. Maria: No, that's Sailor Moon's boyfriend.
This is the second video to call Goofy a Kingdom Hearts reference.
I might actually cry.
A whole generation that doesn't know the original Disney characters. Not even the 90s cartoon Goof Troop.
Who else? Mari is the first time I heard someone say this and it hurts. Lol.
I was about to comment the same thing
@luxnoria On her other channel when she watched the standalone Episode 1 she also said that
Same.
The most insane part of Sailor Moon Abridged was that I haven't watched a single second of the actual Sailor Moon and yet I'm laughing like crazy with Abridged.
The same happened to me with Code MENT and None Piece
Same for me for DBZ
10:28 Ah yes, Goofy from Kingdom Hearts and ONLY Kingdom Hearts LMAO
Oh thank God, I knew I couldn't be the only one.
Sora and Donald "hey what about us?"
I honestly never got the appeal of those games.
@Xbalanque84 I was like you once. Final Fantasy meets Disney characters? It sounded so stupid, but one day I played Kingdom Hearts 2 out of curiosity and I regretted avoiding it for years.
Then I need to complain cause I have an imposter running around my Dreamlight Valley going a-hyuck!
In the anime the guy wasn't stalking Ami. He could see the future and got her attention to keep her from getting crushed by debris from an accident at a construction site she was passing. Also Usagi did give him that picture.
(Mari) Why are you looking at my skirt? You weirdo
Me: WHY DID YOU ASKED?!
In the manga Mamuru is 16 going to 17 and goes to College early. Don't ask me why they aged him up in the English dub, also the bit with the cats is paraphrasing the end of Gone with the Wind
He's actually 18 in the og series too. Because he has a drivers licence, and the legal age of driving in japan is 18.
@RobertL2404 google it, he was 16 at the start of the manga.
Huh. Wonder where that falls under Japan's heterogeneous age of consent laws... would actually probably be deemed acceptable stateside (narrow enough age gap to let slide).
@Xbalanque84 Depends on prefecture. The national law was 13 at the time this was released but prefectures routinely had stronger age laws than that.
From what I can guess, they aged him up because he was living alone, which is not something teenagers do in western culture.
Let's be honest. We all know what Jupiter has going for her: Talent.
She has the BIGGEST talents of them all
Just bursting out of her chest.
Jupiter was my favorite. Tall, tomboy. Her design was just hotter in my personal opinion. Venus was later established as a funny airhead and thus became my second favorite
16:10 Beryl's responses are all puns. But Metallia's suggestions are all episodes that Sailor Moon had during this arc that the Abridged version just didn't cover.
Y'know, I was actually hoping Beryl would have one response that was just "Yeah, I don't even have a joke for that one - that just did not work."
If I remember the reason behind it, it was because is was filler? I don't remember correctly
@poleimas7133 Oh, absolutely those episodes were just filler. Sailor Moon is a 200 episode long series, and I expect if you removed all the filler episodes it'd be less than 50. Maybe less than 30. But using filler episodes for one line jokes rather than actually covering them is a great way to abridge the series.
In the manga the Four Heavenly Kings were Prince Endymion's generals and advisors and were each in a relationship with one of the Sailor Scouts/Senshi. Jadeite and Mars, Kunzite and Venus, Nephrite and Jupiter, and Zoisite and Mercury. Originally the series was meant to end on a tragic note where it's revealed that each of the girls (except Mercury) killed their former lovers, Tuxedo Mask dies while mind controlled, the girls died in the final battle with Metalia, and then Sailor Moon defeats Metalia at the cost of her life. The whole thing was supposed to be a tragedy that essentially played out almost exactly like it did in their past lives.

"Oh so THEY get to kill them off but when IIII want to suddenly it's a bad idea!"
"well if it helps, they dropped the 'killing their past lovers' angle and left their natures incredibly ambiguous and immediately undid their deaths anyway."
"...it does not."
And then Madoka Magica came along and did what Sailor Moon didn’t have the balls to do.
@judaihyuga Source please?
@animalia5554 For the story bits, you can just read the Manga, it left in all the stuff about the girls and the heavenly kings, just not the 'everyone dies' part. As for the interview, it's a common talking point on sailor moon groups, but I'm pretty sure the interview itself was *before* the internet really took off, so there's no convenient transcript I can find to point you to.
@keithwiechart7744 What Sailor Moon’s EDITORS didn’t have the balls to do, anyway.
As a guy, Jupiter is my girl. I like tall girls and I like it when girls do pony tails.
@Avian07 agreed, ponytail, tall and wields lightning. Which was my favorite element among the sailor scouts...oh and she could bake.
24:35 the only kind of "rizz" that would get you is a rizz-training order 😆
Seeing Pluto being called a "Kingdom Hearts reference" made me want to die.
I felt physical pain.
I instantly aged 20 years, I have arthritis now 🧓
I watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in my childhood. Mari saying that Goofy is from Kingdom Hearts hurts me in the soul. 💀
"In the name of the moon: FU-"
This did indeed make my day just a little bit better ☺
13:21 "What did you like about Sailor Jupiter?" Tall.
Tall with ponytail
Tall Amazon with ponytail. I get it. I was more about Mercury back in the day, but I get it.
Hot tomboy with generous bahonagahoogs.
Lightning!
@Xbalanque84 "tracts of land"
26:21 So this whole scene with the cats is actually line for line a recreation of the movie “Gone With The Wind”. Just replace the word lick with kiss. The joke is that the green cat in the anime is actually named Rhett Butler, who was the lead character of that movie. So it’s weird that whoever made Sailor Moon put something as old as movie from the 1930’s in a kids anime.
A true person of culture, that's who
what's more is that Rhett Butler has this weird romance going on with LUna,and so the reference doubly works
Hey, it's a good movie.
I always assumed it was like how Disney movies have adult (not that kind) references in them, it's to give the parents something to enjoy if they watch with their kids xD
@cha0sniper hm, good point.
39:09 I've hear that the "Ate and left no crumbs," line is a reference to DBZA where, after Goku changed the fall off a horse expression to eat that horse, Gohan defeats Cell and declares, "Horse eaten."
Awe man, I wonder why she changed the original thumbnail that read, "Forgive me Father, for I have slayed."
Not the Africa by Toto reference!
22:46 ok, I can't believe you didn't catch the "bitches love cannons" reference to Hellsing Ultimate Abridged there 😁
It was also a reference to the fact Zoisite was gendwrswapped to be female in the DiC dub.
Ok I also didnt catch this and im a die hard tfs fan
In Mari's defense, this was one of TFS's _subtler_ callback jokes, not unlike Dr. Robotnik saying "SnooPING AS usual, I see?"
Calling Goofy a Kingdom Hearts character is like calling Fox McCloud a Smash Brothers character.
You're hurting my soul.
I wonder why nobody in chat told you that TFS had merged both parts together, added jokes in the video and credits, added Tom and made more Toonami-esqe bumpers and called it the Full Moon Edition
28:18 What are we now, Spider-Man writers?
Since I don't think anyone has pointed it out yet in this comment section, the bit from 27:55 onward in the airport was Africa by Toto.
I bless the rains down in Africa~🎶
Did Mari just make a reference to Goofy and Pluto into a Kingdom Hearts reference? I can't...
8:53 Ami. She's soft-spoken, smart, hard-working and supportive, but not a total pushover either.
Definitely understand that one. She's my number three behind Jupiter and Mars
Sailor Mercury was always my favorite. Gentle, intelligent, and really cute, especially when wearing glasses.
So, this one of the craziest changes between the manga and the anime: Nephrite, Zoisite, and Kunzite where only in a single chapter. EACH. They all get killed in the chapter they're each introduced in. I don't remember the details with Jadeite, but it has been quite some time since I read the manga.
8:50 My favorite has always been Pluto.
i don't care if NASA says it's not a planet anymore, "DEAD SCREAM" is the hardest name for an attack in the entire franchise.
30:10 Codename: Sailor V was the original and only had Venus. iirc they made an OVA from it with only a couple of episodes and then the mangaka kind of started over with the wider cast we have now.
Unfortunately there wasn't a Sailor V OVA ever released. One was briefly in development but it never saw fruition.
Growing up my favorites were Mars and Jupiter
Best girls 🤟🏻
Saaaaaaaame. I loved how little patience Rei had for the entire plot
@Fingleberrys
LOL Really? Never watched the show enough to notice.
Ditto. In MFK, I had trouble deciding which one I'd marry and which one I would F.
Sailor Mercury. She’s the hard worker who does her job and doesn’t get much respect but goddamn it, we wouldn’t be here without her.
How could you forget the blue hair? _Pre-woke_ blue hair?
Ami best girl
Forgive me father for I have slayed
Let she who is without tea throw the first shade
28:21 The bit is they are verbalizing "Africa" by Toto.
Codename Sailor V was the original manga that inspired Sailor Moon. Basically it’s a prequel to Moon with Venus and Artemis. C'est la vie = Sailor V
Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Moon.
Why that order -
Jupiter - Tall and athletic while always being friendly
Mars - Snarky, sexy, stylish
Mercury - Smart and Cute
Venus - Not sailor moon
Moon - acted like the 8th grade girl.
P.S. the entire section at 28:00 was the Lyrics for Toto's Africa.
16:11 More than puns, these were actual plot points from some of the episodes. The Full Moon edition has even more!
You know they have a Viz dub that's basically the Japanese version but English
10:15 You mean to tell me bubbles aren’t as cool as columns of fire?
"28 STAB WOUNDS!!!"
"its rabbit season" was a good joke..... i actually laughed.
Jupiter was my fave
Leggy tall strong tomboy with Lightning powers?! He'll yes!
When I was a kid Sailor Mars was my waifu
2:15 more new york accent
The life chat killed me at the skirt scene💀🙏
For future reference, a skirt enters the "short" range when it stops above the knees. In Mari's case, the skirt stopped mid-thigh. So yes, very much on the short side.
yup, and that lenght the sailor guardians have is a miniskirt, as said in the dub. and speaking as someone who often wears skirts and is not an anime character: I prefer them short, normal (long for most people nowadays) is better for something really serious (funeral or something like that), miniskirts appear really cute but are unusable without something like leggings for example.
Usagi: Ate and left no crumbs.
Gohan: Horse eaten. (after killing Cell).
9:59 The worst part to me is that, by all rights, she should've been the team speedster. Fastest planet named after the fastest god, etc. Still, just having the bubbles forced her to get creative/smart with her abilities instead, which is never a bad thing.
That's a good point, actually. To my knowledge though, each planet has an associated element in Japan, which is what their powers are based on. The exact same associations are used in other Japanese media, such as Yugioh. Venus is the only one to get the Roman god connection because she was the protagonist of Sailor V, a manga that predates Sailor Moon. There was more room and intent to balance multiple cultural associations with only one character as the focus. Probably didn't have the wiggle room to expand past the base element associations with a team to focus on.
According to another comment, the series was meant to end as a tragedy when they all died, so that could be another reason they only got the element association. No point fleshing them out more than that if they were meant to die. The series only continued because the editor nixed the idea, saying it wasn't right for the genre. Also explains the filler arc we got right after.
@spiritnova42 Even if one ignores the Roman/Greek mythology connection, Mercury the planet still orbits the fastest around the sun. You'd figure that'd be worth something. 🤷
@Brasswatchman That's assuming the author even knew that fact. The Sailor Moon manga ran from 1991 to 1997, but internet in Japan didn't really spread to the public until 1999. Any research would have been done the old fashioned way.
Looking into it a bit more, Sailor V does "predate" Sailor Moon, but only by about 5 months (which I didn't realize until now). It ALSO ran from 1991 to 1997.
Naoko Takeuchi was working on both manga at the same time for their entire runs. Knowing this, I'd be willing to bet Sailor Venus only got the mythology connection because "troubles in love" was a core theme of the Sailor V storyline. She probably researched that goddess specifically without looking into the rest of the pantheon much, assuming she even needed to do research beyond "Venus is the Goddess of Love".
Also, each of the girl's names use kanji with meanings related to their element.
The kanji for Sailor Mercury's name, "Ami Mizuno", can mean "Second Beauty of the Water".
Between the planets and kanji used in their names, the author definitely seemed to be going all in on elemental affinities over anything else. I doubt she'd have had the time or mental bandwidth to look into other associations she might not know about.
Ok crazy that you think of kingdom hearts when you hear Pluto and Goofy before just disney 🤣
I SAW A SECOND VTUBER SAY THE SAME THING
7:29
"My job here is done"
"But you didn't do anything"
I like all the sailor scouts, each for a different reason. Mercury for being smart, Mars for her confidece and sass, Jupiter for being strong yet kind, and Venus for...uhh...
Well, there was that one episode a few seasons later where she was worried if her heart was pure, pushed herself into doing selfless things, like donating blood to the point of anemia. The monster of the week atracked her and a pure crystal came out...but through sheer strength of will, she stayed half-conscious and started running around, happy to know that her heart was indeed pure 😂
Also, in the dub over here, Luna and Artemis' genders were swapped, and Mars' VA was the same as Bulma 😅
So, in the whole segment with the couple who were going to go on a flight to Africa, every line of dialog was just quoting the lyrics to the song Africa, by Toto. Also, "because we're blondes" is a reference to "Cause I'm a Blonde", from Earth Girls Are Easy.
Funny no one here's mentioned those references yet, but I guess old 80s references like those might fly over younger folks' heads.
It's even more obscure than just the movie. It's actually specifically a callback to an old AMV from the mid-2000s using that song, which incorporated a lot of Sailor Moon footage.
Forgot the movie, but definitely remembered the latter song. God, it was stupid.
@anothergenericyoutubename
Makes total sense, and given that I watched a LOT of AMVs back then, I suddenly feel like I missed out. Thanks for the tip.
@Xbalanque84 I mean, it's still up on RUclips. Just search "cause I'm a blond amv" and it'll be the first result. 15 years old, and that's a reupload, lol
Favorite Sailor Scout? Yeah, Jupiter was always my girl, and yes, it was exactly for the reasons mentioned.
if you had watched the compiled full version there were some extra joke reads in the credits and they split those starter spoilers into 3 groups for better effect
8:52 As a kid, I was all about Ami/Mercury. But I could certainly see the arguments for Mars and Jupiter.
10:32 I was eating a Handi-Snack when Serena screamed "Ah! Meth-head!" and I inhaled Handi-Snack up the back of my nose when I laughed.
That's an average skirt, the Sailor Scout ones were ridiculous XD
I can’t see sailor moon anymore with out thinking of the bare naked ladies song one week and how creepy it is… “gonna get in tune with sailor moon cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes they make me think the wrong thing”
26:32 So I guess this whole section is a riff on "Gone With The Wind" because the male cat is named "Rhett Butler" in the original Japanese subs? So that's where the rizz is coming from. Secondhand from Clark Gable.
10:29 Man, kids these days need to watch more cartoons.
17:00 "I love the kind of woman who'll actually just kill me." XD
1:23 I think it needs to be shorter.
Weirdo
If she has a short skirt, then I have sneakers…
Wait…
*Fuck.*
Ight bro. Calm down.
Agreed
FBI OPEN UP
4:27 You can tell how into it the VA is at this point. She must be a fan too.
It was my childhood. 😭
@MarianneBrayVO 😁 You did it justice.
@Brasswatchmanthank you!!
The transformation scene was actually the first finished clip Scott sent me when they were in the editing process, and it seeing it unlocked the memory of wanting to be Sailor Moon as a kid.
I remember watching it in the morning before elementary school and trying to do the whole sequence/pose. 😂

I used to watch Sailor Moon every morning before middle & high school. That was the mid '90's, and I'm still just as weird.
Also, YES, The College student dating a 14yo CAN ABSOLUTELY GET STABBED!!!!!!!
8:50 Favourite Sailor Scout? Mars. Kinda, because she looks like Tifa Lockhart, I won’t lie.
@38:47 Metallia calls Usagi "Blondie" and then immediately references several of Blondie's songs, such as "Heart of Glass" and "One way or another".
and... i just love the energy you gave this reaction video. great to watch someone that knows quite a bit of the show and gets their jokes from how it's played in the original dub. like the parfait for Naru/Molly, the picture of Ami eating a burger, Makoto fighting the guys that bumped Usagi, Rhett the cat and their Gone with the Wind, and all the song references between Andrew at the airport, "Because we're blondes yeah yeah yeah", Blondie references by Queen Beryl at the end
"Man, I love men that can cook."
Me, a professional cook with 20 years experience: "... Thanks. ❤"
When you think about it more deeply this show is just star signs fighting against birthstones
God I loved that "I'm not straight" followed by "Samesies!"
1:48 when the AD-HD kicks in (I also have AD-HD I know the feeling 😂)
In the original series Usagi is 14 and Mamoru is 17, so at the time they would've been legally fine to date as Japan's age of consent was 13 (though individual prefectures sometimes raised it). Their relationship is still legal despite age of consent being bumped to 16 recently, as once you hit 13 you can consent as long as the other party is no more than five years older. These ages actually still work in Canada too, due to close in age exceptions.
Loved your reactions mari ❤ 1:24 no , its perfect. 9:04 mars, 28:02 😮
Pluto and Goofy are famous disney dog characters. Why in hell each and every idiot makes it about KH?
Grew up on sailor moon n dbz not ashamed to admit. man sweet child hood memories
Why would that be shameful? That sounds normal...
@ZalemMoonyou are correct there is nothing to be ashamed of that was a poor choice of wording using ashamed as a descriptor. I love me some animation even to this day hajime no ippo is one of my favorites all good 🐼👍
I made the mistake of looking up parfait in the Urban Dictionary.
Didn't think to check until I read your comment - thanks for *that* mental image 😅
Also, in light of found definition, a "chocolate parfait" is so, so much worse... 😱
God damnit why did I look it up
Your sacrifice is appreciated. o7
Oh good, so I wasn't the only one traumatized.
@0LT4R
Inorite?
8:59 Sailor Mars & Sailor Neptune! What are we talking about?! 🤣
7:52 When you think about it, he's basically Ikemen Batman. Or maybe just Nightwing in formal wear.
38:44 THE REFERENCES KEEP COMING
Everyone that watched Sailor Moon abridged proceeded to search up what a Parfait was, and then was followed by being utterly grossed out by how freaky Naru was after she said, "Chocolate."
@moalex6617 I tried looking it up, still haven't found an answer. Urban Dictionary failed me.
@LeviathanTamer31 Probably best you didn't anyways. There's a reason why he said to just kill him now.
Although, I did read else where that the parfait is actually just a reference to the actual Sailor Moon episode. I don't quite remember what the reference was, but it had something to do with Nephrite buying Naru a parfait.
You are the second vtuber I've seen that got the Goofy joke...and took it as a Kingdom Hearts reference
I thought i had already watched this reaction. No way this happened twice!
@florenciovillanueva2906 Apparently it did
Whoever the scriptwriter was needs a raise
13:25 as a man is crazy to say 😂😂😂
Kind of wish you saw the “Full Moon Edition” TFS just put out. Natalie doesn’t combine both parts in one video, it shows some alternate scenes as well as an awesome opening that hints that they may be doing other abridged shows from Toonami. I hope to God they do an abridged version of mobile suit Gundam Wing.🤞🤞
Gundam Wing abridged would be awesome
Sailor Moon had its 34th anniversary, can't wait to see this lol.
Oh yeah! Sailor Moon is absolutely a mix of Romeo and Juliette, The Moon Princess, and a Monster of the Week Sentai show.
Sailor Jupiter, of course. I had a crush on her as a kid and I’m not gonna deny that. as for why I liked her the most honestly, I feel like she was the most grounded out of them, the most relatable. Plus I can’t deny I like really tall woman.
That's crazy. I'm drinking LaCroix as I'm watching this. The flavorless one cuz of course that's the only one they get right.
When I was a kid Sailor Mars was my first anime girl crush.
According to urban dictionary, a parfait is slang for ... a lot of things. Fuck if I know.
And of course, the whole joke there hinges on whether or not Nephrite is overthinking what she wanted. But then, every word around Nephrite was basically sending the wrong message (he wasn't really going to do anything to Naru, but he made the other two Generals think he was).
The thick fringe and ponytail
In the mexican dub of Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask was voiced by the same actor as Freeza from DBZ.
@jamg25 Imagine what that would be like if a girl walks in on her brothers watching DBZ.
Maria: That guy sounds like Tuxedo Mask.
Juan: What? That's Lord Frieza. Emperor of the Universe.
Maria: No, that's Sailor Moon's boyfriend.
@jamg25 good to know
"IM CLAPPING"
thats what he said
Jupiter is definitely my favorite. ❤️
Tall, tomboy, can kick your butt, and is a great cook! There’s no denying it she’s the total package.
15:06 And, NOW, it happens pretty much all the time with the rich and the famous.
The skirts were short because they were on top of a leotard like they are in figure skating
Sailor Mercury was my favorite. She was the shy and quite type.
Frfr.
Sailor Jupiter and Meg from Hercules absolute baddies. My childhood crushes.
Meg, my Queen!
Fun fact if you want the wand they actually sell a toy version of it online
Sailor Jupiter was the tallest sailor, towering over the rest at 5'5"
Sailor Moon and Mercury were childhood crush of mine
