Sailor Moon: Every Sailor Scout's Birthday, Zodiac Sign, & Height

5 days ago | cbr.com | Jonathon Greenall

One reason for Sailor Moon's enduring popularity is its central cast of characters. Unlike other anime heroines from the era, Usagi and her friends felt like realistic teenage girls, making it easy for fans to relate to them and fall in love with them. Naturally, this has led to fans wanting to learn everything they can about Naoko Takeuchi's legendary heroines.

Not only were these sequences common, but they often marked the moment where the Sailor Guardians confronted their foe head-on, meaning they usually led into some of the anime's most iconic moments. But are there any episodes where Usagi doesn't transform into Sailor Moon? Nearly every episode of Sailor...
A Fantastic First TTRPG

1 week ago | libraryofwords.com | Jonathon Greenall

One of my favorite types of rules-lite TTRPG is drawing or art-based games. The main reason for this is their accessibility. Because they’re built around concepts everyone is already familiar with (drawing, painting, making things), even people who have never heard of TTRPGs can easily play them without feeling overwhelmed or intimidated by an immense wall of math and crunch. Because of this, they’re perfect for impromptu game nights and sessions with mixed gaming groups.

1 week ago | cbr.com | Jonathon Greenall

Like any long-running series, the Pokémon anime has had its ups and downs, with some elements drawing immense criticism from fans. No character epitomizes the idea of the Pokémon anime's failures more than Goh. While it's easy to understand fans' criticisms, this young Pokémon Trainer doesn't deserve the hate he gets. Goh debuts in "Enter Pikachu!", the first episode of Pokémon Journeys: The Series and the 1,086th overall episode of the Pokémon anime.

5 Sailor Moon Fights That Make No Sense

1 week ago | cbr.com | Jonathon Greenall

Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your CBR account Watching Usagi and her friends defeat whole armies of weird and wonderful monsters never gets old. Due to Sailor Moon's monster-of-the-week format and long length, Sailor Moon introduced anime fans to some of the strangest and most creative monsters in anime history, with the Sailor Guardians clashing with everything from demonic trees to evil humanoid running shoes across its 200 episodes. However, while some of these battles are legendary...
Goku's Strongest Attack in Dragon Ball Super Actually Makes No Sense

1 week ago | cbr.com | Jonathon Greenall

Across Dragon Ball's long and storied history, Goku has learned and used numerous attacks and combat techniques. These attacks run the gamut from basic strikes, kicks, and grapples to immense energy attacks that can obliterate planets in the blink of an eye. While most of these attacks make sense in context, Dragon Ball Super gives Goku a powerful attack that has left Dragon Ball fans deeply confused because it doesn't fit Dragon Ball's usual logic.
Sailor Moon Set the Bar for Deep Female Anime Characters, So Why Did the Big 3 Fail So Hard?

Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your CBR account One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach, often collectively called anime's Big Three, are still as beloved today as they were when they first arrived on the American anime scene in the early 2000s. However, while their storylines and action sequences still hold up, one lingering complaint still leaves a sour taste in the audience's mouths: their handling of female characters. While some fans often brush this complaint off by arguing that the big...
This New Netflix Anime Is Perfect for Dragon Ball Fans Who Never Got Over DBZ

2 weeks ago | cbr.com | Jonathon Greenall

Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your CBR account One of the most commonly recurring questions within the anime fan community is what series will become the next Dragon Ball. While many anime have attempted to walk the path that Akira Toriyama's legendary series carved, none have fully cemented themselves as its equal, nor reached the heady highs of pop-culture relevance Goku and his friends have. However, this may soon change as Netflix's newest anime has all the elements Dragon Ball fans...
Maple Mysteries: A TTRPG That Captures The Gravity Falls Vibe

2 weeks ago | libraryofwords.com | Jonathon Greenall

I’ll always be surprised that Gravity Falls never got the licensed TTRPG treatment. Not only did it land just as the licensed TTRPG boom got into full swing, but its general setup of young kids encountering weird and wonderful creatures in a new town seems tailor-made for a TTRPG. Thankfully, the lack of an official Gravity Falls TTRPG has allowed indie designers to make my dreams come true.
