Gayest Episode Ever The Cartoons That Made Us Gay: Sailor Moon
"The Shining Silver Crystal: The Moon Princess Appears" (November 28, 1992)
It's the only Sailor Moon episode of a podcast you will hear this week featuring a surprise cameo by Mia Farrow.
About a year ago, we covered Sailor Moon on our bonus podcast, The Cartoons That Made Us Gay. We kicked off 2023 by returning to Sailor Moon, and so we decided to pop the original one onto the main feed. This one is all about the first-season same-sex couple, Kunzite and Zoisite, but if you're into it, right now on Patreon there is a whole second episode about the other famous same-sex couple from this series, Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. Listen to that here.
And GEE will be back with a brand-new Seinfeld outing in two weeks! But if that's too long for you, don't forget that new episodes premiere on the Patreon feed one week early!
Miscellaneous notes:
- Yes, there is a substantial parallel between Sailor Moon and Buffy, though we'd hesitate to declare it more than a coincidence
- Kotaku's post on the abomination that is the American pilot for a live action Sailor Moon remake
- Hello Kitty is not a cat
- Read Drew's Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games post if you want to know how the connection to Rose of Versailles
- And check out the lengthy Twitter thread posted in response to the first Sailor Moon episode, about why it wasn't surprising to have a same-sex couple in the first season of the show
- Watch the clip comparing Molly's original DiC accent to Mia Farrow's
