FanimeCon 2026 Forums

[/b]

Hey there, Sailor Moon fans and visitors. This thread is just an idea I thought of. It's hard to find good role models for women now-a-days. The media is filled with superficial, shallow, characters. Yet when we look back on the Sailor scouts/senshi we see beautiful women with different strengths that were all admirable. In this thread 7 (or more) young women will choose a sailor senshi who they aspire to be like but find themselves lacking in their qualities. The goal is to keep up with one another, strive to be as much like that Senshi as possible, and come fanime meet, dressed as their senshi.

Make sense? I'll use myself as an example. I have chosen Sailor Neptune because I want to have more confidence in the way I look and show more confidence and elegance in the way I act. My goal is to lose weight and take better care of myself physically so I can be healthier and happier.

I know it may sound strange at first but until I had a picture in my mind of who I wanted to be I didn't have the drive to change. We could all use a little self modification. I'm not saying to change who you are, I'm saying to improve on who you are. Sailor Neptune is a fictional character so I could never be just like her but maybe I can acquire some of the strengths she displays.

Rules:
1) Visitors, please don't flame or disrespect the young women in this thread, even if they're poring their heart out.
2) Young women/future senshi, stay anonymous in the thread. If you want to talk more personal through email that's fine but because this is a public forum I'd advise against it.
3) Visitors you are welcome to offer advise.
4) Visitors if you are making a member of the thread uncomfortable, please have respect enough to leave the thread or change topics.
5) I reserve the right to change or add rules at any time as I find necessary.
6) Please be committed to your goal.

Have a goal but don't know who it fits? Ask! We'll brain storm until we find the best senshi for you!

I encourage anyone to give this a try, whether they join the thread or not! Which senshi suits you?

Who's ready to give this a try?

I want to be Goku.

i wanna be  EXCALIBUR!!!!

I am your daddy.

Either you missed the point or you're just fooling around. I'm guessing the latter. Good luck with that! How do you go about being excalibur?

i dunno i was thinking a full body costume

um... i actually want to be luna. but doesn't luna have a human form?

 it says "or someone else" lol

Oh, yeah, the something else. Sure. you can do that, excalibur.

Luna? Yeah! She does have a human form, it's so pretty. You wanna be Luna? I can add you to the list.

Well, I'm hoping the thread is silent 'cause it's new and not because it is forever dead. Well, we'll see with time.

I'm the chick that is evil for a very long time, has an antihero complex, dies twice in the first 2 seasons and is brought back only to suffer from a complicated love/hate relationsip with her personal morals, dissappears for like 3-4 seasons, and comes back as the best damn character no one ever remembers.

............... :-\Huh? Are you actually describing a character are you asking who fits that criteria?

I have the same birthday as Mina / Sailor Venus.  Amazingly useless trivia fact.

Good luck with your group!  I'm am old and overweight, so to be kind to everyone concerned I will not be cosplaying as a Sailor Moon character.  :D

Someone mentioned Luna having a human form.  Yes she does.  You only see it in the Manga and one of the movies (if memory serves) but she's very pretty with a yellow dress and long hair.

YAY! Some one else knows! Yes, she also is featured as her own scout in a child form in the sailor Moon musicals. ;D She's adorable!

I don't fit any of the scouts' descriptions. I am actually trying to remember a lesser known character that does help the Scouts, but isn't directly involved with them throughout the series. Like I said, "the best damn character no one ever remembers."

And I'll probably opt out of the group thing. I have tattoos and piercings all over. I don't cover them up for family events and don't want too for cosplay.

To join the thread you're not so much supposed to choose the one you are like but one you wish to be like. That aside, I don't expect everyone to have an innate desire to be like a sailor scout. Clearly this isn't a series that suits your fancy and that's perfectly respectable. Neither would I demand that someone cover up who they are or how they identify themselves. People should be themselves but I believe as people change inevitably by the natural passage of time, it is necessary to self modify. Not everyone has to believe that, it's what keeps me going. Having a role model to aspire to be like (as in not the same) works for some people to modify. That isn't so for everyone, nor do I expect it to be. If emulating a sailor scout doesn't improve on who you already are, then don't do it.

This thread could still be cool just for nostalgia sake.  I actually wouldn't have mind modeling myself after tuxedo mask but eh, the option wasn't there.  But then again I wouldn't have been taking it srsly... since the only reason I'd wanna be like him is cause he's hitting people in the face with roses.

What do you mean not everyone can be sailor scouts? There's still an occult fandom for sailor moon.

Hey, as far as I'm concerned there's nothing wrong with that. Do you want me to add that option?

QuoteClearly this isn't a series that suits your fancy and that's perfectly respectable.

Actually, I like the series very much. I've always wanted to cosplay as a Sailor Scout. Seriously (I grew up on it c'mon!) I just don't think I can do that in the way you are describing it. I just feel I am more of the filler character type. Not a main character. I was serious about the character no one remembers. I always tend to like them the best, and all of a sudden they are gone from the series.

QuotePeople should be themselves but I believe as people change inevitably by the natural passage of time, it is necessary to self modify

I don't need to change or modify, becuase I have already. I am pretty much am where I need to be. (Also, I am the person people go too becuase I can make that 'change' or 'modification' available for them as well.)

QuoteIf emulating a sailor scout doesn't improve on who you already are, then don't do it

I understand your point, but aren't you being a little biased, and taking this a little too seriously? In all honesty, I was joking about my tattoos and piercings. Although I would feel a little weird as a fully tattooed Sailor Scout. O_o (Some people may like that though...;>_>)
I was going to actually try this out, but I really don't need any improvement or modification. I am at the point in my life, even  though things are hard, I am pefectly fine with myself. Does that mean I can't do this? Is this something exclusive only to those who may take this up wanting to change and modify for the better?

I don't understand, explain this to me.

It sounds more like a 12 step plan, rather then a friendly get together/something to work on as/with a group of friends.  I honestly feel more like you're telling me I can't join in, and have just written me off. That is how it came across. (Although you probably didn't mean it that way.)

Luna's a car, not a person. weirdo.

My mom didn't want me watching Sailor Moon when I was little for awhile lol, she said there were too many panty shots for kids to see.

But I'm totally a Jupiter girl!! :D She was always my hero when I was little.  Just like her, I pride myself on the fact that I can cook, AND I can throwdown. (or try to, hahaha)
