as someone who actually watched the original dub, in the late 90s, it confuses me to hear a 2019 (I think thats when season 1 is set) teenager mention Sailor Moon. As if they would even remember it. That definitely was a line written by a person my age, and then told a kid to read it

It's not like the series isn't still popular; it got a redub starting in 2014, I think? And then Sailor Moon Crystal was a thing from like 2015-2018 or so. Not really all that weird that it might be referenced in general considering the upswing in mainstream popularity of anime in general in the last decade or so.

I read on Kotaku that Sailor Moon is even better that Dragon Ball with the Z expansion pack.

I wouldn't necessarily go that far. Anime/manga is more globally popular now than it's ever been. The Magical Girl genre is still one of the more popular ones among children. And Sailor Moon is basically the Magical Girl Bible.

Hell, Sailor Moon manga gets reprinted pretty often, and tends to be front and center in plenty of bookstores'anga sections. It still shows up on a fair amount of promotional material. Hell, it's easier to find Sailor Moon manga on the shelves than it is to find most of Dragonball (outside of super, since it's still in circulation).

sailor moon was a huge cultural icon in the 90s and new episodes are still being made today with sailor moon crystal
and the uncensored dub is on streaming services

it wasnt a series that was forgotten over time
its part of pop culture and most people have heard of it even if they havent seen it

This, but also Sailor Moon's still a big deal. It is THE magical girl series of all time and any younger/modern weeb will probably look it up at some point.

I mean kids today are still all about Dragon Ball and Naruto. Sailor Moon doesn't get as much Western exposure at those these days but still sees pushes semi-frequently. I have no idea what nerd culture is like for kids these days but between the countless options for streaming and manga reading I'd easily believe it still has a strong following.

This topic reminds me of a time in college when I was wearing a pac-man t-shirt and a total neckbeard of a bio teacher (who honestly prolly only had like ten years on me, I started school in my 20s) snidely commented "do you even remember pac-man?"

Like naw bruh what's a pac-man i thought this was a shirt ghosts eating pizza.

Yeah this. When I was a kid everything on TV made references to the 80s that I didn't/couldn't possibly understand. Now it's our turn to be in the know for these little references.

And then after that, you'll find yourself understanding none of the references again, the world having passed you by. Such is life.

Sailor Moon with forced corporatism is just Power Rangers :P

Or possibly the DiC adaptation but we're not lucky enough to live in a timeline where that exists as a finished product

there is a live action sailor moon show from like 2005 that feels very much like power rangers
it covers the first story arc but has many large changes to the story

for example

luna can turn into a little girl and then turn herself into sailor luna
instead of tuxedo mask being brainwashed and turned evil its sailor mercury who turns evil
sailor venus has a disease thats slowly killing her and the show actually had the balls to kill her off due to it rather than let her make it to the final battle with the others.

The random helicopter noises when sailor mars attacked made me lose it.

Way better than power rangers

*edit, oh god the American one was physically painful, thank god they canned that shit

Because it is clearly impossible to have an interest in something that existed before you were old enough to remember anything without a reason...

They had a Sailor Moon musical in 2018-2019, perhaps news about it started an interest in it?

As if Sailor Moon isnt sitting on Hulu right now available for anyone to watch. Anyone with an interest in anime and access to a popular streaming platform has probably at least run across it, even these days.

People like to mention the things they like. Sometimes, it pays off and they go onto to do adaptations of said thing.

The mom was reading Peter Pan in E.T. and Spielberg went on to direct Hook. The kids were watching The Thing from Another World in Halloween and John Carpenter remade that one.

Maybe it's as simple as the writer or director of Euphoria wanting you to know they're a fan of Sailor Moon and down for a live action reboot.
