Some of the things we talked about on the podcast as potential reasons for this were:

1. Greater accessibility of subbed content

2. Growth/lost interest (a 2 year gap can be a long time in adolescence)

@beej88 brought up that it might be because they changed Serena’s voice actress (from Terri Hawkes to Linda Ballantyne). 

I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this, and also on why there was so much less Usamamo fic set around S and SuperS at the time. 

So I’m in charge of the research for the topic “sailor moon across cultures” for our mini series about sailor moon fandom history in @mesomondstein ‘s Sailor Moon podcast Mondsteinflug. 

And so, I would love to have your opinions on some topics if you come from a culture not already discussed in the podcast before (So, cultures other than North America and Germany)!

(And don’t you worry, those who already gave @tinacentury your testimonials! I have access to them and they will be going into this too, so please don’t feel you have to repeat yourselves!)

Specifically I’m looking for info on these topics:

🌙 Where there cultural differences you perceived from how and when Sailor Moon was received and released in your country? How was Sailor Moon “seen”? How popular was it? How did these things change over time?

In particular I’m interested here in what the fans were doing, how they were liking it, what they thought of it, what messages they were valuing in it, how popular it was and how that showed?

🌙 What was the fanbase in your country like? How did it change?

🌙 Which characters, ships and seasons were most popular? Did it change over time?

🌙 What did Sailor Moon's themes mean to you in relation to your country?

I’m for instance interest in how you think it related to your cultural values. Was it seen as more tame or scandalous, was it heavily censored to adjust to norms or not, things like that - and how did its perhaps a bit altered messages relate to you? (I.e. think perhaps about how in Germany for instance the Starlights became trans icons that could have become personally meaningful, whereas they could not be that in countries where the Starlights weren’t shown and the culture not comfortable with these themes)

🌙 And last but not least, is there an active fanbase creating fanfiction and fanwork of any kind in your language?

🌙 And if yes, what have common themes of these fanworks been over the years?  

We’re doing research (this time anonymous) for another Mondsteinflug episode. This time it’s an episode with @nari20 and we’re looking at shipping culture in Sailor Moon between Japan and the english-speaking fan communities!

If you would like to help us out, we’d love if you filled out this survey for us! And to share it around too, because I’m sure you’re here on my page for the usamamo, and obviously we’d love to hear about shipping in Sailor Moon more broadly.

It’s done! I’ve updated our podcast archive to finally contain all the pretty, pretty titlecards that @floraone​ has created for the podcast. All of them! Even for episodes that never even had any! 

Hello fellow Earthlings, dear listeners! 

Wir reden mit FloraOne über die beiden letzten Kurzgeschichten im Manga: "Casablanca Memory" und "Parallel Sailormoon".

Ja, tumblr, wir verlinken unsere Episoden und Gäste, das gehört so:

Muß mal kurz eins der wunderschönen Titelbilder von @floraone​ hier hosten, für eine ältere Fantheorien-Episode. Und da unsere Podcastepisoden nicht mehr von tumblr in der Tagsuche gezeigt werden, weil wir, Schreck, die Episoden von außerhalb verlinken (neuerdings ist das schlimm), nutze ich dieses linkfreie Post auch gleich mal dafür, an uns zu erinnern. 

Einer der beiden besten Sailor Moon podcasts Deutschlands! Mit demnächst 50 Episoden zu allen Themen rund um Sailor Moon! 

Folgt unserem Tumblr oder als nicht Tumblrer, schaut einfach mal ab und zu rein, was es Neues gibt!
