DM: Is Discord going to do anything as the Elements power up?
Discord GM: Smugly wait for them to fizzle out like last time.
DM: Ah. I have some bad news for Discord, then. Not only are they fully powering up...
(Elements of Generosity, Honesty, Kindness, and Loyalty shine)
DM: Their gems begin to fire matching symbols at him.
Rainbow Dash: *HA!* Take that!
Discord GM: Alright, that's officially the moment where this becomes cause for concern.
DM: Fun fact: I was planning on making these a combat mechanic. But since you decided to skip to the main event, they're more for locking-on than damage.
Discord GM: How very Sailor Moon of you, as usual.
Every so often I have to reckon with this, because I grew up on Sailor Moon episodes recorded on old VHS tapes, and that probably explains a lot of why I really liked Friendship is Magic.
Notice: Guest comic submissions are open! Guidelines here. Deadline: February 20th.
All you're really missing are the short skirts and thigh-high boots. And they brought THAT back with Equestria Girls when the characters got pony-up transformation sequences.
Friendship is something marvelous, not something for chaos to corrupt... *Make a pose* In the name of the Moon... *Coughs from the public with a angry Luna and a Celestia sign to cut* err... In the name of Harmony, you will punished... *And then appear Tuxedo Spike* Is this when I appear throwing a rose?
With all the magic and fantasy critters in D&D, sailor scout transformation sequences aren't really all that weird. I wonder which scout is the GM's favorite?
Agreed... ish. I didn't "grow up" watching them as I was out of high school when Sailor Moon first dropped in the US. But I did really enjoy the original ending of the first series of Sailor Moon, they all died. I saw that and was all "NOW THIS IS HOW YOU END A SHOW!" and then was informed it was all 'retconned' as a "fixed with a wish" intro in the second series... le sigh.
I grew up on Robotech*, Voltron, and Tranzor Z as 'my anime', and Thundarr the Barbarian and GI Joe, and The Smurfs, and Hanna-Barbara, Johnny Quest, and...
* By which I include Macross, Southern Cross, MOSPEADIA, //and// Robotech Defenders (which is a comic book I still possess).
Most of the undoing of the Senshi's deaths was at the end of the first season. Usagi's wish when using the crystal was that they could have had a normal time in high school.
Now, this meant that Usagi would have only met Ami, so only they knew each other. It was also undone by the arrival of a couple of alien refugees
