Ranma/Sailor moon fusion help version 2

[Spokavriel]

Mercury doesn't say Bubble Spray she says Shabon the Japanese word for bubble. The attacks aren't purely english. I think some TV executives at the time both the series and manga were in production first time around they wanted to work in some english to help viewers interest in the language. But I have no evidence just hear say.

All my Ranma manga were either gifts or only $5 each.

But, I rather read things online, cheaper... however, they are all fan translations.

I prefer anime anyway, I cant remember names in manga.

Plus COLOR!

I'm just using Manga Rei due to that being unexpected and would fit what the story will be.

And the clash vs optimistic, determined, and crazy Akane will be fun!

Ah, "as long as it sounds foreign" indeed. There are still 50 some ways to say that and they did. Is it action or magic for tiara? O_o so many name changes and changes upon chamges it hurts! :O

[Spica75]

Dunno. Are they? I can't read Japanese, so it's all English for me, anyway. Hopefully someone who has it in Japanese can tell you. If it is, though, perhaps it's like how common it is for magic spells in English to be spoken in Latin or something.

Y'know, 'cause apparently different languages have this sort of power and people are lucky that they're not flinging around magic when they use it so carelessly.

(Well, even though I'm poor, and I can't really afford it, I still get source material when I can. It's infinitely better than what anyone can tell another person. That way what you figure out for yourself is untainted. It's all you, baby! )

Actually yes, the thing about using a language not your own as a "safety" against accidental magic, that really is for real. At least as far as serious attempts at magic theory that has been done.

When did I ever even imply that?

Sorry, not so much directed at you as the large amount of assumptions that felt like they were going far beyond into the realms of guessing whatever you like.

Minako (goes after a ton of boys, depressed on the whole love thing, guys she falls for end up with others gets along with Rei I've heard and is blonde. Oh and has a love me chain used on GIRL Youma)

And what does being blonde have to do with anything?

Ami (shows intrest to boys... But three were starlights. Not to mention the pairing with Makoto has to have some canon grain of truth)
Makoto (looking for sempai, but that thing with Ami, plus could be in denial since the mysterious guy "looks like" nearly every guy)

I´ve certainly never noticed any such "grain of truth". And the starlights were guys as far as Ami knew when interested.
And Makoto, well she has a background of standing up to bullies, getting a reputation as a tomboy(or much worse) which she doesn´t like and reinforces her aim towards being a perfect "girly" housewife...
Rather than denial, she wants to "prove" how much of a girl she is.

IIRC, Cheb(?) went over all those phrases in a thread that is now lost.

[Noy Telinú]

I'm guessing with those two.

Pluto becomes a time travelling manipulator in fannon because she can do that and she ended up in two places at once.

Did Ami and Makoto have lesyay moments together?

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Leslay? Lesby? I prefer yuri, myself. ;p

I can't say for the anime, but I don't recall anything suggestive of it in the manga. Makoto and Ami don't interact much with each other directly as they do with the others. Of the sailor senshi, if Usagi could be considered the keystone of the group, Makoto and Ami would be on different sides (but still connected through the others).

[Noy Telinú]

I think that THIS is the seed of truth... Maybe.

Oh, that old thing? I suppose she got a long enough look to raise a question there, but I doubt it's from any kind of attraction. Makoto's portrayed as being even more boy-crazy in the anime than in the manga, for one. For another, sometimes people just can't look away from something even if it's really embarrassing or horrific.

If I remember correctly, there's another incident like that in the anime somewhere, involving Rei. I don't remember much about it, and I'm unsure if it actually exists, but I think it happened in or near a restaurant booth. I don't recall if it was Rei who fell or if it had been someone else, though. It's a very, very vague memory. I only remember the incident with Makoto better because the episode as a whole was likely more memorable (and definitely more distinct, since it strongly featured Luna).

[Noy Telinú]

Well, to the fans it was enough. It has a huge following.

Why don't they spam the attacks? At least in the open areas or in the bases of evil? O_o

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Because it's a part of a style, or due to production and/or technical limitations.

It'd be like asking why a sentai team doesn't just put together their giant robot and step on the baddie while it's still small. Because you expect these things to happen anyway, they have to compensate by not abusing it and making it more special than it really is. And unlike today, where it's easier to make various elements of anime more dynamic, using stock footage saved a lot of time and effort (thus cost to the production), and using it too much would probably be much less beneficial than what they would have needed to do to show any particular attack multiple times from different angles and such.

I doubt it's because of recharge time, though, as that would have come up as an excuse or explanation at some point. Unless it's like the disguise field, and we're left to assume if that's the case or not... ;/

[Noy Telinú]

How bout the manga? Why?

I question this on a lot of fiction, why do stupid things?

How about the whole Sailor V thing being accurate to what happened?

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Stupid things could be done because the author is stupid or lazy, or -- again -- because they're following a certain style. Most likely, however, is that it probably wouldn't be good -- for one reason or another -- to have panel after panel of attacks (especially if it's the same one) without affecting the mood or story in some unwanted way. To get away with something like that would likely be fairly situational, like when Ryoga was a kid and trying to attack Ranma with his bakusai tenketsu technique repeatedly.

Accurate to what happened in which way? As it relates to Sailor Moon? The pilot chapter that inspired Sailor Moon is a bit... questionable. But that's not all that unexpected when launching a new idea based on another. The glimpses into Sailor Venus' past, from her and Ace's perspective, raise a question or two, but nothing any more confounding or contradicting than what can be found in Sailor Moon itself after the second story arc.

[Noy Telinú]

I meant all the anime and games she has in the SM universe.

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Based on actual events? It's possible. The arcade game was something that Artemis put together to try and train Minako at the beginning, so that probably has no bearing on anything (at least initially). The other things, like anime and such, could very well be inspired by things that she's actually done, as it's shown that her accomplishments are no stranger to being in the news (usually the newspaper).

Is that what you meant?

[Spokavriel]

There are also the two friends who have the professional artist pencils that get used for creating one of the monsters of the week. They were doing the drawing for a Sailor V Anime Movie.

[Noy Telinú]

Yes, that's what I'm asking. Mostly for the whole joke of it being a good resource for Akane to look up to help with this magic girl thing.
