I mean, I'm pretty sure here in the West, we all know it's the personification of the sun, right? Like Selene is the personification of the moon. Which brings up an interesting bit of trivia we discovered! When Helios introduced himself to Usagi and Mamoru and started to explain everything, we figured it was time we wrote a translation note about where his name came from.
We hadn't read it in over a decade, either, so this was going to be almost new territory! And we adore Helios, so there's that, too.

So about that translation! This time, we started the Dream Arc, and we were super excited about it, because, since we'd seen Crystal through the Infinity Arc, and we'd seen the Mouvement Finale of the recent musical set, we had a pretty good idea of how things went down in the manga for the whole series except for the Dream Arc. And I'm sorry for boring you with things that don't even involve the series or its translation. At any rate, we're hoping to do much better with the next volume. We admit that we blame Saint Young Men for most of that part. But this is neither here nor there what's done is done.Īs a result, when our editor finally got back to us to ask about the second half of the volume, hoping to get it by the end of the week, all we could do was sheepishly reply that we had a bunch of other obligations, and we'd do the best we could, which ended up meaning turning in one chapter a week until we finally got them all in. And for the other one, we only went part of the day. I suppose it's possible that we could have told our sisters sorry, we can't go to Disneyland with you, but one of them was here on our birthday, so of course we're going to go to Disneyland instead. We meant to get back to it fairly soon, but we had other assignments that needed to get done (including a surprise rush job that shouldn't have been a surprise or a rush job (we forgot to put it on our schedule, is what I'm saying)) and another sister bring her kids for another trip to Disneyland.
We finished the first half of it right before our sister and her kids showed up for a trip to Disneyland. This volume actually looked like we might get to work on it exclusively for a while, but our family had other ideas. So here we are!Īs for what I meant by "translating Sailor Moon out of order," because the books are soooooo thick, a lot of the time what happens (as I'm sure you've noticed in past reviews) is that we'll start a volume and then have to do a ton of other work while we're still in the middle of it. Especially because we need to get to work translating the next volume, and if we don't write the review first, we'll have a much harder time separating the relevant information for each volume into the proper reviews. We still have a pretty thick backlog of reviews to write-four, including this one, and if we wanted to write them in order of when we translated them, we should write two more first, but since we tend to translate Sailor Moon out of order, we figured it was okay to review it out of order, too. Because we have to wait for season four to actually be made before we can watch it.)īut that's okay, because! we have a volume of Sailor Moon to review!! Tadah!! So here it is! Spoilers ahead!
And I'm grumpy that you're not showing me that you're lying to me!" You know. There were a few new details we noticed that give us hope.I mean, of course, there's hope, because the way the whole entire show is set up, it can't possibly end any other way than the way we want it to, but in the meantime, the show is doing its darndest to convince us otherwise. It wasn't quite as bad when we knew what was coming, but it still hurts. Oh man, we just watched the finale of season three of Miraculous again, and arrrrrrrgh.
