I have finally caught up again with the manga volumes of the new release! Just received Volumes 5 and 6 yesterday.

I also realized that this means we are half way through the new release of the Sailor Moon manga! It seems like we were just finding out about getting a new release, then hearing the release dates for each volume it sounded like it would take forever to get them all, yet I'm consistently finding myself behind on the volumes! Before you know it we'll be watching the premier of the new anime (2013)!

Sailor Moon Collection 2012 Video #4

For this video I went through the Sailor Moon items on display in my living room area. This mostly consists of my DVDs, CDs, and a few games. Also the newest release of the Sailor Moon manga has found a home here.

I hope you will enjoy the video!

Sailor Moon Collection 2012 Video #3

I'm adding these two videos to the same post because they sort of go together, I originally had them as one single video but it was too large/long to upload.

I've posted photos of the shelf in the video before, but that was before I finished adding everything to it. Check out what was missing here!

The second part is largely made up of items which did not fit on the shelf, extras, or random items which really don't have a place yet.

I hope you like everything so far!

Treated myself a bit!

I grabbed these two shirts at Hot Topic on clearance. They may be a bit small for me. I might alter them if needed, or maybe I will just hold onto them for awhile.

Bought the fourth volume in-store today (I had been ordering them previously), just to get myself caught up on the volumes which have already been released. I still need to read them, though!

Finally, I bought the mug because it reminds me of Tuxedo Mask (of course) it was also on clearance so it was cheap.

I was hoping to find the purple shirt at my local store since they are all XS size online, but they are already completely gone!  Also, I wanted to get the new brooch but it is not in the store yet.

I think Sailor Moon items must be selling well! I didn't see any more lanyards, and there was only one sticker left. The new Outer Senshi shirts I mentioned last time have the larger sizes sold out online! I was going to order the Saturn and/or Neptune ones, but I definitely am not going to pay full price+shipping for a shirt that will be too small. I'm hoping they will re-stock on those soon.

Happy Birthday Naoko Takeuchi!

This photo is really adorable. I think this may officially be my favorite photo of her that I have ever seen.

Thank you very much Takeuchi-sensei for introducing Sailor Moon to the world. Your art is truly beautiful and your stories have inspired so many people, including myself.

I truly admire this woman for all she has done, empowering young women to believe in themselves and chase after their dreams.


I hope this birthday is very special for her!

Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary in the LA Times

“We believe that part of the lasting appeal of ‘Sailor Moon’ comes from the empowerment that it provides,” says Yasumasa Shimizu, President of Kodansha Ltd., which publishes the English translation of the manga in America. “It is a story that encourages young people to stand up for themselves, be independent, and fight for what is right. Sailor Moon’s journey is one of friendship, determination, magic and love.”
