It's confession time. You know, when you live your childhood and adolescence in a third world country in which the Internet as we know it didn't exist, you normally only have contact to the anime you get from watching TV -cable or normal. Fansubs in VHS were hard to buy and normally a rip-off anyway. And most of the anime broadcasted in national TV is either the kids shows or the Epic Anime Shows with at least 100 episodes -normally even larger. And well, no matter how much you liked (or not) this mainstream stuff, there'll always be arcs so craptacular you want to run the hell away from the series (hi Freezer! how many fanboys did you annoy with the Namek destruction, I wonder?). But in the end you shut up and continue watching because hey, there's nothing else on TV anyway.

Sailor Moon anime was my guilty pleasure (which had a dub based on the Japanese, but with the retarded American names). I can't really say I'm a closet fan, even though I watched the whole thing sometimes out of TWS, because I never grew too attached to any of the characters. Then again, it might be because of the exaggerated anime characterization.

I've only read the first arc in manga, and I probably should read the rest just to see what many fucked up things I can come across. At least the characters seem more likeable and less over the top. For instance, I remember Makoto and Minako being particularly annoying in the anime, but I don't see any of that in the manga so far.

But that's not really the point of this post... I never shipped anything, obviously. But now that I poked the Internet around, I think I found out a pairing I can subscribe to in their manga version.

...Shit, I know I have a thing for shipping the mentors together, especially if it's canon, but this is ridiculous.

..............It's Artemis/Luna. *hangs head* I'M SHIPPING THE FUCKING CATS.

In my defense, I've always been fond of the cats mixed with sympathy because boy, did they have to mentor a couple of bimbos in the anime, and I LOLed hard when Diana appeared to parallel Chibiusa and they went "HO SHIT WE TOO?!" And I find Artemis' methods for training people extremely awesome (LOL arcade). Also, at least I ship something in the same species?

Furthermore, what I found out last night: Their human forms

Askjdfhjkshfk whut. But. But. BUT! Why on Earth do they look hotter than the main characters?! Luna is so pretty, man. And hell, I'll be honest about Artemis: I'd hit that. Even if his shirt has the most ridiculous, fanservice-y cut ever.

This is crazy. I shall get back to work right after checking this subgallery out. I'm seriously messed up and shaken. They're too cute.
