When we were young, we watched "Sailor Moon" and were always fascinated by the beautiful and moving girly image, the wonderful superpower, and the romantic and moving emotions.
When I grew up, I learned more about the story behind this film, and I realized that we didn't know it very well. especially
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >1</h1>
Naoko Takeuchi, the manga author of Sailor Moon, is a winner at the starting line, and her family is in the jewelry business, which is very economically prosperous. However, people do not sit back and enjoy their success, but break out of the world by their own strength.
After graduation, she worked at the Central Inspection Department of Keio University Hospital, but later gave up the iron rice bowl and chose to live an ideal life of drawing manga to earn money. One of the most famous events about her is that she used to drive a Porsche to contribute.
As a high-class woman, Naoko Takeuchi was familiar with big-name costumes, so the clothes worn by sailors and villains were always artistic.
This dress, for example, was inspired by The Paledium dress in Dior's Spring/Summer 1992 couture collection.
The blackened bunny wore the costumes in the OPIUM perfume advertisement.
And so on, and quite a few, as shown in the figure:
It is said that in the original setting of the anime, there were some eye-catching but inappropriate shots that were not suitable for children, but they were abandoned because they were stubbornly resisted by Naoko Takeuchi.
Although the final image of a beautiful girl that appeared in our eyes was often wearing a miniskirt, Aunt Takeuchi did not mind this, believing that the costume helped to fully display the female personality (I can't help but think of the "freedom of dressing" shouted by modern women).

Some of the beautiful scenes in the anime refer to famous paintings, movie posters and pictures.
Such as this scene, in a field of starlight in the moon hare and night dress masquerade. Presumably, many people will feel that the scene is very familiar when they see it, right?
The picture is derived from Van Gogh's Starry Moon Night.
When the sailor warriors perform stunts, the waves that appear behind them are derived from the famous Japanese painting "Thirty-six Views of Fugaku. Kanagawa Surf Lane".
There is a scene in the anime where sailor moons spin between softened bells inspired by Dalí's painting The Eternity of Memory.
The warm and romantic picture of the night dress masquerade lying on the skirt of the moon princess, inspired by the movie "Red Shirt Tear Stain"
The following scene refers to the movie "Holding the Beauty Home".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" >3, the concept of "avant-garde"</h1>
Naoko Takeuchi was well educated, and in the era when Bai Fumi always married her husband who was the right person and then taught her husband, she advocated:
Although she is a woman, she does not close herself off, does not stick to herself as a daughter, only simply looks at herself as a "person", to explore her dreams, in order to realize her dreams, she must become stronger and more powerful. Even without the help of others, you can stand between heaven and earth by your own strength and guard your beloved. ”
So, you can see some feminist implications in Sailor Moon.
The anime heroes who dominate the tv screen are finally no longer limited to male characters, and women with high heels and skirts can also fight against evil forces and change the world.
It is undeniable that although after Naoko Takeuchi's manga was adapted into an anime, a lot of Mary Sue flavor was added, and a timid and nonsensical component was added to the protagonist's personality, however, there are still many lines that will make the current women feel excited, such as:
"Something much more important than being in love is waiting for me here."
"Nowadays, only outdated uncles still think that women are inferior to men."
"I must, must protect this world, this world where everyone meets and knows each other!" I love the world! ”
"Everyone has sorrow and pain, these are just the spices of life, we only have to face these and live well." 」
"Hope and disappointment always come to you hand in hand, if you are afraid, disappointment will become huge, and finally swallow hope, if you face it bravely, you can change the predicament." Everyone has a star in their hearts, and at all times they must let the inner stars shine. ”
In addition, we can also see some avant-garde romances that are less accepted by the world, such as same-sex love, there are men and women (the audience who is not deeply involved in the world may not understand these, but believe that the existence of these plots may make everyone have a vague understanding of the "pluralistic world").
Now that I think about the extraordinary settings and the lines full of wisdom and courage, I still find it inspiring. I remember that when I was adolescence, there were girls around me who were inspired by this film and wanted to become unusual people, rather than silly white sweets where love is supreme.
All in all, "Sailor Moon" can give little girls and even adult women some impact and strength, both visually and ideologically.
It is not just a childish cartoon, but an anime that can have a certain impact on the world and can make countless people reminisce and think.
It is expected that in today's era of rapid economic changes, but ideologically somewhat lingering, there will be similar, or even more positive cartoons.
