concerning Sailor Moon, one-hit wonders, and eternal stories

[tsukikage]

I'm looking through a bunch of artbook scans I downloaded, and... *wibbles*
I love Sailor Moon so much... ^_^;

I kinda wonder why none of Takeuchi-sensei's other manga have gotten very popular: whether it's because she's resting on her laurels and just can't make anything very good anymore, or if Sailor Moon is just too well-know that she's essentially been "typecast", or... There are a lot of possibilities, really, but I can't say anything myself because the only other series of hers I've had the chance to read was Codename wa Sailor V.

Going back to the artbook scans, though, I found this really great one of Haruka and Michiru in their Mugen Gakuen seifuku I've never seen before. I also love this pic of Ami-chan in the water and Rei-chan standing amidst cherry blossoms. And then there's this wonderful group pic... I'm trying to find one that I think really captures my feelings the most, at least at the moment, and although the ones I linked so far approach it, I can't quite find the perfect one right now.
I don't know... What can I say but that I'm a sucker for "eternal stories".

I love Sailor Moon with all my being. But, you probably already know that.

*smile*

I wonder how it is that stories like that affect people in the way they do?? I think "eternal stories" is a great way to put it.

"With all my being." I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels so strongly about a "stupid TV series". ^_^;
