I don’t know if anyone on this board will agree with me but seeing Haruka and Seiya getting territorial over Usagi is a real guilty pleasure.

I think deep down Haruka and Michiru would do anything to keep their princess safe and so would the Seiya and the rest . As a viewer I love when enemies should be friends if only they had a closer look, its a good for spicing things up in my opinion

“Of course, if they had kept Mar’s ribbon black, then she’d share a sailor suit palette with Pluto.”

Haha, I agree wih that!

But if you look closely, Uranus and Neptune both have a navy blue back bow; and blue is a color that often comes back in Sailor Moon clothing (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Neptune). What I mean is that the more Senshi there are, the more it is difficult to find unique colors for each of them (also fitting each Senshi’s elemental powers).

As for Pluto’s hair color, I share your feeling: I’m sure too they are black in reality, but indeed, black hair on a dark skin and black clothes would have been too much.

I agree. I think the black ribbon looks good with the red.

You know, I’ve never noticed that they have similar palettes. Of course, if they had kept Mar’s ribbon black, then she’d share a sailor suit palette with Pluto. (I believe Pluto’s hair is also supposed to be black and is just green for effect and so it doesn’t clash with her suit.)

No and at the time our standards were lower but even then it was pretty dissapointed.

Indeed! Both Luke and you are right.

And the truth is, I would have found great if Naoko Takeuchi had kept this black bow on Sailor Mars’ outfit, because red and black really fit together. Also, since Sailor Saturn’s outfit colors are purple and a shade of dark red, and since she also has black hair, it turns out that her and Sailor Mars almost have the same color palette, which is a bit annoying. This is why I like thinking that Mars has purple hair, only in order to make some kind of a chromatic difference between her and Saturn.

Well, her hair is supposed to be black, that’s true. But they definitely color it purple.
The truth is, her ribbon was also originally supposed to be black. (Her theme colors are red and black and in the material collection her initial design had a black ribbon.)
But the ribbon is also colored as purple in the anime and in the manga.

Speaking of the ADV sets, they are the most confusing releases for me.
I remember there is one episode where the audio switches to the Dic audio for a few moments. I was stunned and pretty mad, back then.
Also, the fact that they were sold and advertised as “complete” but were still missing episode 67.
Also, they used artwork from the S or SuperS season on the boxes…such a mess!
The quality was atrocious, they were overpriced, but I still have them after all these years.

But they were not advertized as “The best possible quality, pure magic and our pride and joy remaster, right?

Naoko Takeshi often drew her with both black and purple hair, alternatively. Also, Toei gave her black hair in the 90’s anime, while her hair color is between purple and black in Crystal. And it’s the same for Sailor Saturn. That’s why, to me, though I prefer Sailor Mars with black hair, I keep on imagining her with purple hair, only to make a difference with Saturn’s black hair. At least, I think that Mars’ hair color is a lighter shade than Saturn’s hair. But you are free not to agree with me.
