Anime And Manga Sailor Moon by Karma Khan Hey guys, it’s Karma here to talk about one anime people rarely know… Sailor Moon! Now, I know I still have a lot to watch but I just finished season two. Anyway, Sailor Moon is about a teenager name Usagi Zucchino, she is a fourteen year old middle schooler who is actually a popular crime fighter named Sailor Moon! Her friends Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, Minako Aino, Setsuna Meioh, Haruka Tenoh, Michiru Kaioh, and Hotaru Tomoe are really her partners, the Sailor Scouts! Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, Sailor Pluto, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, and Sailor Saturn. Each Sailor fights for different things. Sailor Moon is for love and for justice, Sailor Mercury fights for love and Intellect, Sailor Mars is for love and Passion, Sailor Jupiter fights for love and courage, Sailor Venus is for love and beauty, Sailor Pluto fights for time and space, Sailor Uranus fights for elegance, Sailor Neptune fights for grace! That’s not all, the second youngest character, Sailor Chibi Moon fights for the future moon alongside with Sailor Moon! The Sailor Guardians, sent from the past to fight their enemies, The Dark Kingdom, The Black Moon Clan, The Death Busters, The Dead Moon Circus, Shadow Galactica, and The Hell Tree Aliens. Although, the Scouts do have one other ally… Tuxedo Mask! His real name is Mamoru Chiba. Before Sailor moon knew his identity, he was rivals with Usagi. He often acted rude towards her and called her “bun head”. This could be related to the fact that, when he was younger, he was caught in a car crash that killed his family and left him remembering nothing of his home or the people he lived with. Sailor Moon is later discovered to be Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, Mamoru is later found out as Prince Endymion who marries Usagi, and later they have a child named Small Lady or later know as Chibi Usa. There is a few more characters which are rarely named like Chibi Chibi, White Tuxedo, and The Moonlight Knight. That’s all for now, I still have a lot to go, but for now, Ba-bye!

by Philippe Gomez Hi everyone! It’s Philippe and I’m here to talk about Fairy Tail. I know that I might be a little behind, but I am on episode 50 of the first series. All righty! Let’s Start! About! Far, far, away lies the kingdom of Fiore, a bustling country with a population of 17 million, and, a place filled with magic. Used in every home, bought and sold at every marketplace, Magic is nearly just a tool for everyday life, but for some, Magic is an art and these people have devoted their lives to its practice. These are the Wizards and they band together in magic Guilds

and travel Fiore for fortune and friends. But there is one certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the others. It is a guild from which countless legends have been born and will continue to grow for eternity. It’s name is FAIRY TAIL!

Characters! Natsu Dragneel is a boy who know an ancient and lost art called Dragon Slayer Magic, which was taught to him by a DRAGON named Igneel! He found Natsu as a boy and taught him language, culture, and, of course, MAGIC! But one day, Igneel disappeared and Natu lives for the day he will find him.

Accompanying Natsu on his quest is his blue, winged cat, HAPPY! “AYE!”Happy is actually how natsu gets around! Happy transforms and wraps his tail around Natsu and takes off! Happy originally came from an egg, so everyone at Fairy Tail thought that he was a Dragon or something. Nope! He was in fact a cute, winged cat.

Natsu’s supposed rival is Grey Fullbuster. He uses Maker Magic with ice. He, eh, has a habit of taking his clothes off, as he was trained to be with the cold. He was found an orphan and taken and raised by a woman named Ur, who taught him Maker Magic. Maker Magic is unique because you can make whatever you want like dragons, weapons, etc.

Next is Erza Scarlet, the most powerful female wizard in the guild. The magic that she uses is Caster Magic, which allows the user to requip weapons from an alternate dimension. Erza used her magic and made all new armor and is the only known wizard who can requip with armor. She comes from terrible origins. She was taken by a clan and used as a slave. When a person dear to

her died, She went in a rage and discovered her powers. She usually is the one who breaks up Grey and Natsu’s Fights.

Next up is Lucy Heartfilia! She is the daughter if a rich and powerful man who neglected and refused her. She ran away and became a CELESTIAL WIZARD! Celestial wizards are wizards who possess keys from which they can summon celestial spirits. These spirits come from the spirit World and are the embodiments of constellations, like Aries the sheep, Taurus the bull, Horologio the clock, Cancer the giant crab, and Aquarius, Lucy’s most vicious spirit. She finds Natsu in a small fidhing town, where he saves her from a fake Fairy Tail member who claims to be the real Salamander. But, Natsu is Fairy Tail’s Salamander!

That concludes my Fairy Tail review! Hope you enjoyed! Got any questions? Reccomendations? Write an email to me adressed to [email protected]. Ill gladly take the submissions. Be aware that I might have to watch a couple of episodes of the anime or so on. See ya!
