Yes, the starting of this sequence was totally kurobara-hen… and I liked the episode in general since it did what I had desired for after episode 3: Take a breath and focus on the personae that are already there instead of presenting even more.

my favourite sailor scout would probably have to be between Venus or Jupiter, only Jupiter’s voice in the English-version of the anime was to raspy for my taste (it’s like she had phlegm stuck in her throat all the time). Since we’re on the topic of cartoon crushes, darian aka mamo-chan definitely tops it!

By the way, was I the only one who read the Bailey School Kids Series? that book had amazing illustrations–oh the days where books had illustrations which made reading a joy.

Oh, You should write a part 2, just off the top of my head, I can think of honourable mentions like Arthur, Magic School Bus…ohh those were the days!

Ah, those warm and fuzzy feelings of nostalgia!

I was a fan of/collected practically every single one of the things you listed. Sailor Venus was my favourite from Sailor Moon, and I remember having a crush on Ken from Digimon Season 2 when I was, oh, 10 years old or so–him and all his overblown Emperor gear, despotic delusions of world domination and his puppy-kicking ways (I refuse to contemplate what this says about my childhood).

Oh my god, my childhood.

That said, I adored Sailor Uranus and the Sailor Stars in their manga form. The anime was too long for me to handle, though I watched Pokemon and Digimon religiously. I know, hypocrite much.

I STILL have my SM cards, though only the rarer ones, I’ve since passed the majority of them to better loving homes, and I still have a row of the Fearstreet: Collector’s Edition books I bought.

And Crazybones and Polly Pockets. I stared at those for a second, and memories of primary school just rushed back at me.

What a fantastic trip down memory lane!

Sniff, somebody actually cares about my generation’s childhood. As a child of 1990 those 1980s childhood hipsters say their childhoods were better than mine, but damn it if Pokemon and Crazy Bones weren’t cool.

You linked to my blog so I noticed your article, and it really made my day. As a writer struggling to have novels published about the experiences of my generation who are barely adults now, I really think that the lives of Gen Y youths who grew up with the stuff described here needs to be documented.

I mean Pokemon was almost a sub-economy of popularity, a micro-currency that rated your coolness amongst guys. I never watched much Sailor Moon though, I watched Cardcaptor Sakura instead.

I used to have a pink Sailor Moon pencil that my mom bought for me in Hong Kong and it was my favorite pencil for like 5 years. I used to treat butterfly clips like gold. I had so many kinds. I read the entire Goosebumps series, I think. And the entire Babysitter’s Club series.

Mmm yes those were the days.
