PlayStation PAL cover of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. A smiling farmer in a blue cap holds a pitchfork standing in a bright green field. A black and white cow, a pink pig, and a small brown dog gather around him. The title β€œHarvest Moon: Back to Nature” appears in large wooden style lettering at the top. PlayStation branding runs along the bottom with the PAL logo in the corner.

I wish I had a big enough following cause I'd so wanna interview those who worked on my childhood favorite games like the older Harvest Moon titles in general. That series means a lot to me as much as Sailor Moon does.

A wide lineup of chibi style characters from Harvest Moon: Magical Melody standing against a bright blue background. The characters have oversized heads and small bodies with varied hairstyles, outfits, and expressions. Farmers, villagers, elders, children, and townsfolk are arranged in several rows wearing colorful clothing such as overalls, dresses, hats, aprons, uniforms, and seasonal outfits. The overall style is cute and cartoonish with bold outlines and pastel colors.

Gameplay screenshot from Harvest Moon: Magical Melody showing chibi style characters standing on a grassy cliff at night. A purple haired character is wearing a straw hat and scarf and looks angry with a red comic style anger symbol above their head. A dialogue box shows the name as Jamie and reads: β€œStop bugging me! I don’t wanna hang out with you guys!” The player character and two small Harvest Sprites stand nearby facing her. The scene is lit against a dark background, emphasizing the tense interaction.

I do worry if they ever did a remake of Harvest Moon Magical Melody people would complain about it being chibi when even the OG game was chibi style.

Maybe just me worrying though!

Black and white Sailor Moon manga panel. Artemis speaks from off panel, saying he has things to teach. Minako holds a book and responds. Outside a window, Artemis greets her with β€œMorning, Mina,” and she replies β€œMorning, Artemis.”

Screenshot of an anime image featuring Minako Aino, a blonde girl with a red bow and large blue eyes holding a piece of paper. The paper reads: β€œIf seeing a Page post something anti-ICE prompts you to complain about seeing β€˜politics’ in that space, this isn’t the place for you. We care about humans here.” The background is a simple indoor scene.

I watched the episodes properly. I noticed that they did rush through it which I don't mind. I think it was overall decent as a parody project though!

I also think part of why DBZA never made it through Buu was the ongoing copyright trouble and strikes from Toei on YouTube plus how exhausting a project that was for the team. After that, TFS started doing shorter projects and other content instead of one huge abridged series it seems.

Parody works best when people already know the source. My concern is less about the abridged itself and more about how often parody becomes someone’s first and only exposure to a series like this.

Manga cover for Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, volume 1. Sailor Moon, a blonde teenage girl with twin buns and very long flowing pigtails, smiles brightly while posing in front of a large glowing yellow moon. She wears a white sailor uniform with a blue collar and skirt, a red bow on her chest, white gloves, and red knee-high boots. She holds a crescent-shaped wand raised near her head, with her other arm bent at her side. The background is a pink to orange gradient with sparkles. Japanese title text appears at the top, β€œKodansha Comics” is printed above it, and the number 1 is shown for the volume. The author’s name, Naoko Takeuchi, appears in Japanese at the bottom.

I know abridged series are meant to be parody, but I really hope TeamFourStar doesn’t continue their Sailor Moon abridged. I don’t want it becoming the default lens people use to understand a series that’s a lot more sincere and emotionally rich.

It feels like Astro Boy and Speed Racer don’t get enough credit for opening the door for anime outside Japan. Peter Fernandez’s English dub work on Speed Racer in particular did so much to make it stick with Western audiences.

Back in the 90's and even into the 2000's I feel like a lot of people involved didn't think Sailor Moon or anime in general would take off at all and have an international fanbase. The DIC/Cloverway dub is a big product of it's time for sure.

I usually like Google Docs for longer writing since it’s easy to read and comment on, but screenshots or pasted excerpts work great for shorter pieces too. You could even do both.

I done would have played the fuck out of this #SailorMoon game as a kid regardless if the graphics were bad or not and it got an English translation.

I think it is Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon SuperS: Shin Shuyaku Soudatsusen

My first podcast mic, a red blue yeti. (I use a Shure MV7, a mixer now, and much better equipment now, but this is how it started!)

6+ years ago, I started The Retro Blast Podcast because I was in a sad mental place and needed a creative outlet.

I told myself, "Get just ONE listener. That'll be enough."

Well, today I'm celebrating 250,000 downloads!

Thanks for listening to me talk about why video games are special.

Writing this down because it works for me as a picky autistic person:

Bowl, double chicken, cheese, light tomatillo green salsa
or
Bowl, chicken, queso, cheese

Simple, predictable, low sensory overload. If you can tolerate double chicken, do it. More protein, and it actually helps.

Not a huge Chipotle fan, but my girlfriend introduced me to some solid high protein options. My doctor recommended more protein while cutting carbs on my weight loss med so this works. Chicken and cheese is it for me. I don't like rice and the beans are not bad. I am a picky eater historically.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

This is where we're at now.
