This is just a short composition on North America being deprived of
the
Sailor Stars Series, dubbed.
Once upon a time, I was introduced to Sailor Moon by one of my
close
friends. I was first accustomed to the TV show, and then to the manga,
which
I borrowed from various Sailor Moon-loving friends I never even knew I
had.
Before long, I was really getting into Sailor Moon. I downloaded
anything I
could get. But at that time, I only knew of villains as far as the
Negaverse,
the Doom Tree, and the Black Moon.
In the spring of 2000 I read the SuperS comics, and I got chills
just
thinking about this wonderful piece of work being aired on TV as a
series.
When I tuned into the newly-dubbed Sailor Moon S episodes in the summer
of
that year, I was thrilled. I didn't know there was so much that the
world of
Sailor Moon had to offer. I started doing searches online for the
Sailor
Scouts, downloading pictures, movies, midis, and mp3s until my hard
drive
couldn't hold any more.
And then, one day, in a chatroom, I heard it: "So what are they
gonna
name Chibi Chibi in the new Stars dub?" Stars? Chibi Chibi? What was
all
this? I searched the net and found out that these characters were part
of the
Sailor Stars Series. I was psyched.
For over a year, I, as well as millions of other Sailor Moon fans,
waited
for Cartoon Network to air Sailor Stars. Rumors of dates popped up and
spread
via the internet. But as the dates came and passed with no Sailor
Starlights
or Eternal Sailor Moon gracing our television screen, some began to
give up
hope. Others made petitions and sent them to Cartoon Network, while
other
actually protested and wrote threatening letters to Cartoon Network
themselves.
But alas, all was in vain.
And my question is: "WHY THE HELL WON'T CARTOON NETWORK SHOW SAILOR
STARS?" Sure, there is some nudity and violence, BUT LOOK AT DRAGON
BALL Z!
That anime is just CRAWLING with violence! And Tenchi Muyo! Talk about
"sexual situations!" Sheesh! And what's with Big O and Outlaw Star?
Hardly
anybody watches those! What's your deal, Cartoon Network? You lost
thousands
of viewers alone just by kicking Sailor Moon of your line up. Damn
bastards!
Get a clue! WE WANT SAILOR STARS? And when you ask us why, we will
simply ask
right back, "Why NOT?"
