is it like the Comic movies of America. (Spiderman X Men, Blade)

[Sailor Venus]

Not exactly, for some reason it reminds me of Power Rangers, but way better

[Sailor Universia]

Much better! My favorite character is Mako-chan. She seems very classy in the live-action, for some reason. And you're right, Sailor V is sooo cool! I wish we saw more of her in the anime.

[Sailor Venus]

Yeah, there was one episode from 'Sailor Moon' about Minako's past but that was it.

Sailor Universia, I'm looking to buy some actual manga volumes from Sailor Moon, could you tell me a good place to buy them from?

[Sailor Universia]

Yes, I do have a few references.

Now, I can read Japanese, so the vast majority of my manga collection is the original version. If you can read kanji, or you just want to collect the originals, I suggest Anime Nation (They have a good selection of the reprints that feature a solitary senshi on each cover), or SASUGA.

If you're looking for the English translation by TokyoPop, I suggest, as always, Amazon. They are almost always in stock and have used books you can buy for really cheap (except the Stars books can get really expensive). If you can read French or German, I suggest getting those versions, since the English version is pretty bad and uses the Americanized terms like "scout" and "Darien."

The Artbooks are pretty much impossible to find in their original format---they are out of print in Japan. I have the French versions which have the notes that Naoko wrote in Japanese. The Infinity Artbook is EXTREMELY rare. I've only ever seen it once and it was $700. If you really want to "read" the artbooks, MangaStyle! is great and Naoko's notes translated into English.

I hope I helped!

[Sailor Venus]

Thanks Sailor Universia!

Wow, how long have you been able to read Japanese?

[Sailor Venus]

I found this, I'm not sure if it's the complete volume of stars or not, but it's £130 ($260)
I found it on Amazon

[Sailor Universia]

I learned to read and speak it when we had a foreign exchange student spend a half-term with my family. I was about five or so.

I believe that's just the first volume of StarS. Maybe Ebay would have a better deal? Unless you're desperate, I wouldn't pay that much for one tankubon.

[Sailor Venus]

Wow, I could never grasp a language so quickly!

[Sailor Universia]

Japanese is much easier to learn to speak than read. I'm learning kanji to this day.

[Sailor Venus]

I've picked up some phrases from watching sailor Moon.

[Sailor Universia]

*Nods enthusiastically* Sailor Moon is definately where I got my start.

[Sailor Venus]

I'll have to pick up some more, and I suppose I could search for the french books, as I'm quite experienced with the french language.

[Sailor Venus]

Do you think that the outer senshi will ever come into PGSM?

[Sailor Universia]

No. PGSM ended after the first season. I wanted to see Stars live action.
