Revisiting My Childhood!

A friend told me she was watching Sailor Moon and we got to talking about how much we loved this show as kids and how Toonami on Cartoon Network was the best thing ever, and how today Cartoon Network shows little to nothing that we consider to be interesting. Personally i rushed home to watch it along with Dragonballz. I couldn't get enough of it..even got pissed off when anyone made me miss it and remember getting into an argument with my best friend at the time about the color of Amy's (Sailor Mercury) hair, after which we didn't speak for about a day lol. Even after all these years i am proud to say that i still remember the theme song. After this trip down memory lane, i decided to watch it from the beginning as well.

I've reached episode 34...and even though at some points i asked myself why i liked certain things about the show...i still really enjoyed it. I didn't remember Serena (Sailor Moon) being that much of a cry baby..found her to be quite annoying, but i guess as a child you don't notice those things as much. One thing that hasn't changed is who was my favorite character. I loved Lita (Sailor Jupiter), i just thought the whole lightning thing was cool and after seeing it again...it was still cool. I also like Rei's (Sailor Mars) power which was fire.

I've tried to watch certain shows i loved growing up and realized that either i'm too mature now for my own good or the shows were downright stupid and only children could enjoy them. Saved by the Bell for example was a show i loved and after watching one single episode i couldn't remember why i loved Screech and thought he was funny. Similarly..i watch Family Matters and found Steve Urkel to be annoying and less than funny. But i guess these things are all part of growing up.
