Sailor Moon R: Promise of the Rose

I have no clue what is going on here....
In the actual series Mamoru didn't know Usagi before the series, and in this movie they add this element. I kind of do enjoy Fioré's character because he is the same species as An, and Ail, but there were not suppose to be anyone left like that but An, and Ail... This movie is just a huge confusing element.
Something tells me the movies are completely seperate from the series in a sense because they aren't even mentioned in the shows.
What drives me nuts is the english dub name for the Kisenian Flower... Why couldn't it be left at that.... The Xenian Flower?
So Fioré's hair resembles Ail's then when the Kisenian flower takes over him his hair looks like An's.
And as you can tell this entire movie is about roses.
I do actually like the element of Usagi meeting Mamoru before the series it is so cute.
Apparently I seen this in English as a child... I really don't remember probably due to the extreme butchering.... It's cool why have the crystal if I can't use it.
Also Moon Princess Halation the actual attack of the Qutie Moon Rod, and not the Moon Scepter Elimination is used in this movie, as well as Moon Crystal Power Make Up where in the English version they once again omit the make-up...

Sailor Moon Episodes 1-6

I am still not far into the Japanese version of Sailor Moon, and I am going to watch the English version as well. I am going to mention a little bit of comparative information to what I have seen so far.
I am really disappointed in the omitting of episode 2, 5, and 6 so far. I mean in episode 2 when Gurio Umino flips Haruna-sensei's skirt, and they show her panties they could have cut that out for America. Episode 5 was really good too, I mean yes Shingo kicks Luna, but they could have omitted that one clip as well. Episode 6, I literally seen nothing wrong with it so I have no clue why it was omitted. I also noticed there is an attack called Moon Tiara Stardust which was in episode 5.
The youma, or monsters as we know in English do have names but I have only ever heard Morga's name mentioned, and the six greater ones from the rainbow crystals which is later on in the series. Most of the other youma mentioned so far do not exist in the English version because their episodes were omitted. I cannot believe they actually left some names along but apparently Usagi's parents Ikuko, and Kenji aren't important enough to have names in the English Version. I cannot believe they actually left Tuxedo Kamen's name alone in English because Kamen means mask. Surprised they didn't come up with something more crazy.
By episode six in Japan Sailor Mercury has not shown up yet, and in the English due to the omitting of three episodes Sailor Mercury has joined the group. America why did you do this.... Some of this actually contains important plot information.
After watching six episodes at least, possibly more I will post another update of differences.

Re-Watching a Childhood Favourite

I have been watching the original Sailor Moon, and I am so disappointed in what America did to the dubbed version....
Within the first six episodes we lost three, and that is just really sad. The theme song was changed from beautiful to more like a superhero theme song.
Some of the original Japanese music was removed. Though I do like the English music for some reason, but sometimes the Japanese music was better.
I watched the movies, and I know I didn't see the Super S one but I do not remember the S, and R ones which I did watch since they were aired on a Canadian channel. I watched them in Japanese, so they must of butchered the movies as well.
It is really sad, but this show should have been aired for it's original audience of young teens/adults.
We got 89 (excuse me I mean 120, here's advice: don't trust wiki) out of 200 episodes, because they completely omitted Sailor Moon S, and Super S. It is a really sad realization that we lost out to so much.
There are parts of the dub I do love but I am glad to finally be watching the original series at last.

Exams Next Week

Exams next week, ohhh gawd. D: I am currently under the weather, and trying to study without passing out. I have an English Exam Thursday, Japanese Exam Friday, History Exam Saturday, Economics exam the next Tuesday or Wednesday, and Commerce Exam Friday. I cannot fail any course this time, if I do I am so screwed. I am .1 point below the acceptable Grade Point average. I really need to do well since I failed Sociology last semester which I failed, and hated, and probably should have dropped.

I've Been Busy

When was the last time I updated? Sorry, I forgot about this blog.
Midterms are over, thank God. I really screwed up my English midterm, I was stressed out do a Financial Situation. I never filled out my Confirmation of Earnings back in September so my second half of my student loan hasn't come in yet. They sent me the forms for it, and I didn't even see it in the envelope, and I found it today. I spent 4 hours studying for the Making of Modern Asia, and I have one article left to read, and of course it was on the midterm, it's 40 pages long, and long winded so I am reading it during Independent Study week. In Economics I have been ding surprisingly well assignment wise. I studied a bit for the midterm but I didn't remember all the equations. Japanese, the midterm was a breeze~ Although last week the teacher couldn't come in on Monday, Wednesday the weather was bad so class was canceled so we had class at lab time on Thursday, which was a very busy day. I had English, went and got my Confirmation of Earnings form filled out at work, had a History midterm, had to go get my cell phone which I left at home, had an economics midterm, and then had Japanese class. We studied at the cafe in the student centre which was great fun.
I went to the Chinese New Year celebration hosted by the Chinese Student Association, and that was great fun, this was held two weeks before the actual date though. We celebrated Chinese New Year by going to the local Canadian Vietnamese Restaurant, and we got a lottery ticket. I gave out Valentine's day cards for Valentine's Day, even to the guy I like, who I constantly run away from, and I have to stop that.
I wonder what is going to happen now?

Late Again

I actually did have class today. One lab, and it was for commerce. I checked my email, and labs for commerce started this week, and anyone who missed yesterday's started today. The room was switched just for today so I ran across campus. I was already late. The room was packed, and I had to stand by the door behind tall people.
I bought the textbooks today, and I bought whatever I could used, and the most expensive was the business textbook.
I have readings to do tonight for English, and Asian History. I looked for the Asian History article in the archives, and the professor put it on the course site.
I also went to get my bursary from my father's workplace today. That is the only bursary I got because I am not prep, and I don't have connections.

2nd Semester First Day

My first class today was English. I left the house late. I also had to check the campus map to see where my English class was because I had no clue where the building was. Too bad the map, and the actual campus layout doesn't really correspond. I went into the wrong building, and when I went to check the map on the wall down the short flight of stairs to see what building it was I didn't see or even bother to look down, and tripped over the step there. I then realized that it was the building behind the one I was in. Not all the buildings are properly marked. I was late for class, and when I walked into the class it was like the first day of first semester all over again. I was sitting beside someone from my high school, and someone else from the high school was in the class. I am going to enjoy English, it is very interesting.
I went to Asian History with Jill and Howard. :D I am so glad they are in the class. This class will be fun as well.
It was a god thing Jill is also in the same Economics class as me because when I wrote down the room for the lab, and the class I screwed them up. Our professor is a squirrel. This class should be enjoyable too.
I am going to fight this semester, and not procrastinate.

Winter Semester Starts Soon

The Christmas Break is done tomorrow since it will be my last day off.
I checked my student email and found emails from my Japanese teacher, and since there are so many people in the Introductory Japanese II class A she is requesting that some people switch into class B, and I can't do that because I like having friends in the class that I know.
I was going through my textbooks because there is a used textbook sale, and I can sell all my books except for the Japanese ones. That's roughly 450$ worth of books. My cat kitten Mochi chewed on Still Blaming Children by: Bernard Schissel, and I didn't like the book, apparently neither did Mochi.
This semester I have:
Introductory Japanese II
Business Studies and Tutorial to Commerce Lab
Introduction to Principles of Literary Analysis
The Making of Modern Asia
Principles of Macroeconomics and Tutorial Macroeconomics Lab
I have to work really hard this semester to redeem myself. I will keep up with my readings, and go to all of my labs. I will not do what I did last semester which was stupid, and reckless. I will study for my midterms as well, even though I did really good on the Sacred Space Holy Land Midterm, and I winged it.
