  despite having been a Sailor Guardian for an amount of time already, Chibi Moon couldn’t deny that she was still rather scared of the enemies they faced. her hands tremble in worry, able to still hear the chaos of the fight from the other Sailor Soldiers. her job had been to fall back in this one case, keep nearby civilians at bay. not the most flashy of jobs and it didn’t feel like she was learning much, but there’s only so much she can do.

I am sorry I forgot you

Mamoru happened to forgot. No, rather, he choose to forget the moment, he remembered who he was. He choose to forget his best friend. The on who was there for him since a long time ago. He choose to forget them. Putting them aside, like a kid puts a Toy aside he doesn’t need anymore because he found a better one. It was like he literally erased them. From his mind and his life. Tossing them away, not needed anymore now, that he found the one for his life. He met Usagi and the Sailor Scouts. His future Daughter Chibiusa. He even remembered Helios, an old friend of his. He remembered everything and choose to forget the one thing, that doesn’t fit into his new found “old” life. His best friend. He even happened to forget, that they share the same classes and will see each other again. If they decided to ever come to school again and they did. The moment Mamoru looked at them, his blue eyes widened a bit. Realization hit him. It was like the memories of them together flooded his mind. The times he abandoned them, also. The man raised his hand, wanting to greet his friend but they did not wanted to greet him. Passing him like he was air. Non existing. Like they were for him. His eyes followed his ex-friend. They seem to have gotten closer to a few other people here, seeing that they are now hanging them. Seemingly happy without him. His chest begun to ache a bit, seeing them without him. It was like that in the beginning. Him trying to greet them, getting closer, they ignoring him. The aching in his chest growing. Was it like that for them? Did they felt the same pain? Even more? Was he ever that kind of person? To abandon people at will? Wasn’t he different? Why did he decided to forget about his friend? Question after question run through his mind. Not knowing a single answer to it. When he saw them again, outside, he was out with Usagi and Chibiusa. Both wanted to get Ice Cream and it seems, his best friend decided to do that too. It was a bit weird for him, to see them. Especially with his family outside. Mamoru wanted to talk to them, so badly. He wanted to explain everything. From Tuxedo Mask to Prince and King Endymion to the Sailor Scouter. Would they even believe him? Would they forgive him? He has the need, to have them back in his life. They were a important part in his life. But he threw them out, the moment someone else came. “Mamo? Are you okay?” It seems like he stared too long. The tall man smiled at his girlfriend “Yeah, I am fine.” “Do you know them?” He saw the slightly jealous look of the blonde one and couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. “Well, yes. It is complicated.” Usagi just nodded, noting the look he had in his eyes. Telling her, she shouldn’t pry. Even though she was curious about why her Mamoru looked so sad. “I.....will be back shortly, okay? Just wait here for me.” He didn’t wait for their answer, marching right to were they sat. He faltered in his step, the closer he came. His legs felt heavy. His mouth dry. What should he say? Would they listen? Would they maybe leave? Mamoru was so deep in his thoughts, he didn’t noticed that he was already standing in front of them. They looked at him. Right in his eyes. He couldn’t quite read in them. They looked empty. “hey.” Silence. Maybe they are judging him? Well, they have all rights to do so. “Can we talk?” A reaction. A scoff. “I am sorry.” “You are sorry?” They talked. To him. More like spat. Their voice dripping with venom. “About what exactly, Chiba? That you, I don’t know, abandoned me? Threw me out of your life like it was nothing? No contact, nothing.. Do you mean that?” Yes, yes he does mean that. Every word they said hit him, pierced in his chest. Bullseyes. He can’t be mad. Why should he? They say the truth: “Yes...it is-” “Complicated?” the scoffed again, when he nodded “Thought so.” with that, they stood up, ready to leave. “Wait. Please, let me explain even if you won’t believe me.” He gripped their Arm. Desperate to stop them from leaving. They knew, how desperate he was. Mamoru may be good in controlling his facial expression, but they know him good enough to read in his eyes and his voice. A defeated sigh escaped their lips.They missed him too, like crazy. So they do want to give him a Chance. That doesn’t necessarily mean, that they forgive him. Mamoru knew that too, when they decided to listen. Sitting down again. Mamoru looked over to Usagi, signaling her that it would take time. He talked. He told them everything, From the beginning to the end. No word was spoken from the person in front of him. No facial expression. No reaction. Nothing. “And...it is no excuse to just abandon you but. I don’t even know why it happened or how. but I do am really sorry. I did something terrible. I know I hurt you but I want to make it up. I want you back in my life. You are my best friend. I know, this story must sound ridiculous to you but-” “I believe you.” “What?” The dumbfounded expression Mamoru did let them smile for a split second before the coughed and went back to the neutral eypression. “I believe you. Like you said, I know you the best and it would be highly unlikely that you would tell me such a story if it wasn’t true. Also, your Girlfriend does resemble Sailor Moon. Look at the Hair.” Looking at Usagi, he knew what they meant “Anyway, Mamoru, I have no reason to come back in your life.” The man waited. Looking at the person in front him. Waiting fro them to continue. “You abandon me, the moment there was something else that seemed better than me. More important. Yes, it was, is, more important. That is right, I won’t say it isn’t. But instead, of talking to me, you shoved me away. You ignored me, went away. I was nothing for you. Air. You have your duties, yes. I respect that, but you hurt me in more than one way. You left me alone, knowing, I would have nobody else. Nobody like you. I don’t say you need to be there for me 24/7 or anything, but you did not even texted me in between? Like, that you are okay? You ignored my call, my texts everything. Do you know, how worried I was? I got sick because I was worried. It took time, to get over the fact that my best Friend, just replaced me. That I am not a part of his life anymore. And  now, that I am sure about it, I will not be a part in your life anymore, Mamoru. There is no place, for someone like me.” “Someone like you?” “A normal Person. I can’t go chase enemies with you. I can’t talk about your duties or your past life you all have and share. Or the Adventures and people you met. I am an outsider. I would be there, all awkward not knowing what I should say. Do you think your friends would be comfortable.” The raised their hand, signaling him to be quiet, “I know, they seem nice. But it wouldn’t make any difference. We live different lives, Mamoru and I don’t know if I want to risk to be hurt again. Maybe it is better now. Now you have what you always wanted, a real family. I am happy for you but please, respect my decision.” “Can’t we....start over again?” “Maybe, but not right now. Goodbye, Mamoru.” And with that, they left. Leaving Mamoru by himself. Thinking about what they said and what happened. Now, it was him that was left behind.

KaguMyu Act I ~ RANT REACTION

Okay, so I watched act 1 of the new Sailor Moon Musical "Kaguya Hime no Koibito" and spoiler: it felt like wasted time. Even NewMyu is more exciting to watch and I say that as an official NewMyu-hater-disliker...

You can watch the musical full for free on vk.

I included screenshots to make my little notes a bit more exciting. Disclaimer again: I am and will forever be honest with my opinions. If I think something sucks, I'll say that it sucks. (Spoiler: This was even too boring to suck lmao). Tbh. I have no idea how the manga handeled this story so I will make references from the S-movie.

- The musical starts with the song "You are my universe" and I have to say, it reminds me strongly of Tsukiiro no Chainon. That is not particularly a good thing because those random J-Pop songs these days have a bad thing in common: There is not really a melody in them? Like it feels too mechanical and not like music anymore. I couldn't really follow the melody because it was actually not existing. A good thing is that every Senshi has some solo lines in the song but that doesn't make it better. I am for example not sure if I could sing it with that lack of melody and rhythm.

- Next thing is the costumes. Was there really not enough money to make them look not THAT cheap? Also, Chibimoon's costume looks so baggy? And her wig looks, I quote @vampiru-chan "like a burst sofa cushion" xD.

- What annoys me too is that we got those no-name background-dancer demons again. SO boring like wtf finally get something interesting like in Banitimes again!

- However, the choreography wasn't as bad as it usually is in NewMyu and with that I mean they were not swinging their arms like crazy while running and walking from on end to the other end of the stage. So I grant a bonus point for the choreography.

- Yuuka-Saturn NAILED her solo-line. Good girl.

- I am still annoyed, that we got that all-female cast again! It might be rare, but I am still a straight girl in this fandom and I need real men again xD And I think all the lovely gay fanboys in the fandom agree xP.

- After the dance-fight-song-scene we see how Kakeru finds Snow Princess Kaguya's ice crystal as he does in the movie and then we get to know that it is winter and the Senshi will celebrate Mako's, Mina's and Setsuna's birthdays all together. And I have to say, she doesn't do ANYTHING, she is only a side character and simply...well there - BUT I LOVE Shinjyu-Haruka so much, omg. Finally a good Uranus! Her face reminds me of Asako but she is stronger and her male-like acting does not feel that forced. Too bad she was in a musical that was not about the Senshi at all :(

- Again I have to say, WHO, WHO thought it was a good idea to cast a Sailor Moon with that kind of face? Like, literally wtf. Tbh I would sue the surgeon who is responsible for this.

- Okay, now we found out why the costumes are so cheap: The whole budget was spent on the civilian outfits. They are so sweet and so pretty, omg. I want to have them all!

- But because all the money was spent on the outfits, there was no budget left for Artemis >:( He is only mentioned.

- Then lemme ask why our Usagi-chan is so bitchy here? She pushed Minako to the side in a very-not-Usagi-like style??

- Okay, birthday goes on and we get a birthday song and then some kind of idol-song by Mina and Mako. And the songs are not memorable at all :(

- What I liked was this little scene between Rei and Usagi. Looks like a reference to the anime where both quarrel a lot and it feld refreshing.

- And I have to say, that the lovely voice of Kisara-Mako/Jupiter reminds me SO MUCH of my friend's voice @missemperor you gotta cover her, nobody would notice the difference lol.

- Okay, now Himeko sings a song of how Kakeru developed as a professor or something and it makes no sense because Himeko is just so unimportant. Oh, yes and I never liked her in the movie because she was such a fkn bitch to Luna? I mean, I don't like Luna either but stop bullying the cat, bitch.

- as I mentioned in my last post about KaguMyu - we do not have a real setting again :/ But they tried to compensate that with heavy projections even from thought bubbles. I'd liked it better if there had actually been a setting but okay, we live in the century of technology and not of proper requisites.

- I also wonder why Michiru always has such a cute voice in Nelke productions? Ever watched the anime? She has a normal adult voice which sounds very elegant but not cute. But besides being a side character, Ayana plays a decent Neptune/Michiru.

- The rest of the musical is basically Luna and Kakeru doing stuff? But it feels like nothing happens T_T. Btw. the actress of Kakeru reminds me STRONGLY of a Zuka actress too. Apropos Takarazuka: Riku Sorahana is a cool Mamoru. Maybe a bit too cool for Mamoru but I like her.

- Another thing I noticed: The birthday scene, in the beginning, was just to show that this musical actually has the Senshi in it. Because after that scene... they are gone. There is that one scene with Usagi and Luna à la how does a kiss taste and then Chibiusa sings (very badly, omg. Why not casting a child that can sing?) a very annoying song, of how Luna is in love.

Overall:

- It was so boring. Literally, nothing happened. It felt like wasted time and yes, I know that the story is mainly about Luna but....geez no. I had a bit of hope that this musical might be better than the last ones but I have to say out of the new musicals - NogiMyu stays the best.

- Those songs were really not good and not memorable at all. They feel like the typical mass-production these days. Maybe BaniMyu was so good because back then it was a rare thing for anime/manga to turn into stage plays? I mean, today almost every anime/manga which is a bit popular gets a musical. Plus BaniMyu had Akiko Kosaka for the songs (and Queen Ado for the choreo <3).

- Funny thing: Usually in the new musicals it is that the first act is rather good or at least ok while the second one is boring af - but in this case, I doubt that this can get even more boring - maybe act 2 will be good then? Ewwww, we'll see but I do not have big hopes, tbh.

- If I had to rate it with points while 10 points would be super good and 0 points super bad, I'd give it so far 2 points. (LR, PE and UNV would even get 3 to 4 points, wtf it's really so bad xD. Okay, no they'd get at least 3 but still xD).

Today I'll watch the second act but I doubt it will get any better... :(

BANDAI! GET SERA MYU BACK AND DO GOOD STUFF AGAIN!
