Most of our products are handmade, as we know single-piece production is time-consuming and costly, so which will take a processing/tailoring time (7-35 days or more). Most products in our store are not in stock, which are tailor to order, whether you choose a standard size or give us your custom measurements, the costumes are personally tailored for you from scratch, some of which can be adjusted in style and size.
(I also love how Haruka demonstrates good fatherly behavior by taking on diaper duties.) Their life seems so perfect, it’s almost a shame Saturn reawakens to lead them out of retirement.
To wit, Hotaru - who has grown rapidly into a happy-go-lucky sprog during the interval - calls Haruka “papa,” proving a family can be a genderqueer woman, her violinist wife/fiancée, a tall lady with impossibly long hair, and their supernatural adopted kid, in a huge countryside mansion. Speaking of LGBTQ+ representation, the Outer Guardians’ chapter is not preoccupied with taking the older characters on a journey of self-discovery, instead just filling us in on what they’ve doing during the six months between appearances, but it is still striking to see a lesbian couple co-parent a child with another woman. Since this was the penultimate arc, it should’ve come as no surprise Takeuchi was seeding the final issues, but it’s still striking to see how early in advance she was implying which of the Guardians might end up together in the Crystal Tokyo era. On rereading, I noticed Ami and Mako both discover their self-worth, and confirm their commitment to their roles as Sailor Guardians, after encountering miniature representations of themselves (Mako’s one, amusingly, slaps herself out of the nightmare) in contrast, Rei and Minako are guided out of the darkness respectively by their pet crows Phobos and Deimos, and cat sidekick Artemis himself. Rei is tempted by the notion of abandoning her duties as a Shinto priestess for love Mako finds herself rising above her insecurity about being masculine and feminine, a warrior and a carer and Mina learns to not get so consumed with being a leader that she forgets her friends are there to help. We see Ami’s parents for the first time, and how their separation causes her to worry she’ll wind up a workaholic spinster too her nightmare causes her to realize her true dream is to be there for all of her friends, which must be an uplifting message for any reader struggling with loneliness.
This is an introspective tale that sees the girls being tested by nightmares from the Circus’s Lemures, who prey on their desires for normal lives, and it is easily the best exploration of the supporting cast’s inner lives so far.Īs with the first half of every “Sailor Moon” arc, each chapter shines the spotlight on an individual Guardian while progressing the main story, namely Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, and the Outer Guardians.
HELIOS SAILOR MOON UNICORN TV
It’s possible Takeuchi was throwing a bone to the creators of the TV show after the relentlessly dark and sinister ‘Infinity’ (tellingly, the older Guardians do not appear in the anime version of this arc), but it does not mean ‘Dream’ is a less mature arc: just like fairy tales, which were frequently terrifying anyway, it’s a psychologically rich story reflecting (no pun intended) the fears and anxieties of its target audience, who (in case you forgot) are young girls who may be apprehensive about growing up, or falling in love. Mirrors play a major role in the story, since Nehelenia is trapped behind one, instantly bringing to mind the Wicked Queen from “Snow White,” and there’s a lot more animal symbolism than Helios, with the Quartet transforming a fish, a tiger, and a hawk into the flamboyant Amazon Trio, while three of the Guardians’ own pets also appear in human form. On the surface, the ‘Dream’ arc is a visually brighter, more child-friendly story than its predecessor, with an emphasis on fairy tale and circus imagery, from Helios himself, to the Circus’s Amazoness Quartet, who possess cartoonishly elaborate hairstyles that make them more feel childlike than previous villains.
