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.

A Bunch of Good News

My transcripts arrived on the 19th of October, and were sent on the 14th of September. All I can say is that is is about time! Yay! *prances around happily*
I officially dropped out today. I had to wait so I was deeply engrossed in my copy of Alice in Wonderland, and Through the Looking Glass. I gave back my mail box key, and my student ID. I have a payment on my account due to a cheque bouncing, and it is completely my fault.
Now I need to sell my textbooks. I have a whole pile of them in a box. I shall not part with my Japanese textbooks/dictionaries though. I might probably sell them on Amazon.
I had to email my conversation partner about me dropping out to let her know. I feel really bead but there is a waiting list so they will find her a new partner who is hopefully better than I am.
Feels so much better to be free.
I will only post on this when something occurs, which is rare, it is better to watch my work blog, because I work everyday, which there is a link to in my profile as well as a World of Warcraft blog.

Classes Begin Tomorrow

I met my new Japanese Conversation Partner tonight. I enjoy her, but I really miss the one I met this summer. She gave me a cute Hello Kitty cellphone charm, and chocolate. :D I met many others tonight to. They are all very surprised I can speak some Japanese. I really enjoy the program. I was being very shy, and was nervous as heck though. I ran into my friend from last year, and just about cried. I am very unstable due to the fact that last night my boyfriend, and I broke up. I'll live though, and I won't be falling in love again anytime soon, and it was very nice to see her. Classes start tomorrow, but I don't have my history class until 1. :D Yay. I have classes at 7:30 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday though. xD I cut my hours thank god.

Summer

So exams are done. I would have posted sooner but my netbook was sent to Ontario for repairs. I knowingly failed Macroeconomics because I left most of the exam blank. I really did not like the professor or the teaching style. I have to go to the university because I can't register for courses, and I can't see my marks because I have an "outstanding payment", and I did pay off my account by the way. I am probably going to be put on academic probation next year. I compared the Bachelor of Arts Programme, and the Commerce Programme, and I like Commerce more so I am going to see if I can make the switch. I still want to minor in Japanese studies though. I also need Psychology which I am redoing, and Economics, which I am redoing with a different professor. I will probably redo Sociology eventually as well. I really want to do well. I also want to go to Japan, on the exchange program quite badly. I had applied for a second job with the university but I lost out due to seniority, even though I was perfect for the job, it was an Resident Assisant Job for the Japanese Students that stay for the summer. I do have a Japanese conversation partner for the summer though, and I am quite excited for that. I will post throughout the summer because I am still involved with the university in some way~ I will also post again when I find out my marks, and get this student account thing fixed.

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.

The School Year is Almost Over

Last time I posted was probably in early February. It's March now. Also daylight savings has gone by.
I was really busy with three essays due two weeks ago, and work had me completely overwhelmed. It is okay now. I have an Macroeconomics assignment due Friday. I am going to skip the classes, and read the textbook instead, and go to tutorial, our professor teaches us nothing. I bombed that midterm. I also bombed the history midterm. I didn't do as good as I thought I did on the Japanese midterm. I hate labs for Commerce, they suck, the group never contacts me.
The Society of All Nations Banquet was the other night, and it was quite fun.
Spring is upon us. So is Easter weekend, and EXAMS! *panics* I really need to work hard.
I applied to be an RA for the Summer Japanese students. I would absolutely love to have that job. <3 I really love the Japanese students.
I participated in a Japanese Speech Contest the other day, and was shaking like a leaf. We only had a week to prepare, and I re-typed the essay twice. It was very nerve-wracking, but very good practice.
I don't know when I will remember to post again. See you around.

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?

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.

Final Marks ＼(＾▽＾*)

I passed four out of five classes. My best mark was probably Japanese (I do not know because there is no mark on the site, and I was doing pretty good in the course), then Physical Geography, then Sacred Space Holy Land, and my worst was Psychology. I took five courses remember, so that means I failed Sociology. My Grade Point Average is a fail because of that stupid Sociology class it was a pass before I got that mark, I should have dropped it. The class was poorly taught, and I did not like the teacher, I went to school with both her daughters, and graduated with the elder one, and I did not like them. At least I passed Psychology.
I am going to die later when I tell Dad I failed Sociology. |･ω･｀) At least I passed everything else though. I am not telling him the exact mark but I will tell him I passed the other four.
I will apply myself more this Winter semester. The first one was a shock to the system.
