Spent time with Jing and Ling today after the qss visit. Saw all my favorite teachers (as well as the not-so-favorite...but ehhhh...oh well). Realised I missed some of them greatly. Lol.
Anyway, spent the afternoon over at Qianling's house, just lazing around, chatting idly, and I got the chance to be evil. Oh yes. Konks, you'd either be very proud of me, or deeply shocked.
For I have introduced the wonder/horror that is PGSM to them. XD
Well since YOU were the one who first told me about PGSM, konks, I have no idea how you would possibly react to this. Hehe.
Still, I didn't introduce them to PGSM for the shoujo ai really. Besides, the Mars/Venus thing is solely subtext and probably the product of fevered imaginations of the fandom. Like myself. XD
I think I was just feeling whimsical when I was on youtube, so I showed them PGSM episode 1. Because they didn't believe me when I told them that there WAS a live action version of Sailor Moon, so I had to show them. Hence the viewing.
I think both of them were both amused by the whole concept though. Of course, the transformation sequences induce a lot of eye-rolling, and we kept being picky over how it takes so freaking long for Sailor Moon to go through the attack sequence as well. I mean, seriously, how come the enemies always just stand there and let them finish setting up the attack that will kill them? Are they really that stupid? Don't answer that.
Still, PGSM is disturbingly addictive in its own way. Must be the whole cheesiness of the routine. I mean, girls with colorful hair who wear mini skirts while fighting idiot monsters. How much more old school and fanservice-y can you get? Lol.
Not to mention that I think the actresses are pretty. Well, Hama Chisaki is like, wow. Especially as Darkury. Hehe. Sawai Miyuu looks hot only when in her Princess Sailor Moon incarnation. Kitagawa Keiko (Kei-chan!!) looks much, much better in her civilian form...and she was fantabulous in the Special Act, even though she only got a couple of minutes of screentime before getting knocked out for the majority of the episode. Azama Mew looks good in formal wear, just look at Usagi's wedding in the Special Act. Not to mention the general tomboy look in her civilian form...not too shabby really. Her as Jupiter doesn't feel quite right though...maybe the wig just...wigs me out (pun intended. XD). Oh and there's Komatsu Ayaka, whom I believe I should not ramble on about for much longer, because I have already done so in great excess previously. Still, she gets the best wardrobe in her civilian form, thanks to the idol status, and she still manages to look good as Venus. Somehow the blonde hair works. Haha.
Heck though, the early episodes of PGSM aren't quite as good as the later ones...obviously. The girls were a bit raw in their acting in the beginning, but they improved along the way. XD Plus the funnier scenes come later anyway. Not that there aren't any funny scenes in the beginning (Usagi trying to climb into the fashion show building because she forgot her ticket in ep 1 for example). It's just that the funny scenes later were, well, funnier. Possibly more inside jokes than anything else. Meh.
Ok, I need sleep. Will go now. Ja!
