As i'm learning japanese, i get to watch a lot of animes to improve my listening mostly. i almost always choose something that was destinated for kids so it would be easy for me to understand. This time i chose to watch sailor moon, it's pretty famous, and i've never had the chance to watch it as a kid. It was released in 1992, pretty old right ? but while watching it, i found it pretty weird !!! The show has Gays, Lesbiens, and Transgender caracters, did we use to se stuff like that back in 1992 ? I don't know, i wasn't even born yet !!! Was it okey for japanese parents to let their children watch this kind of shows back then ? It really made me confused ! The picture is a public one from Google !

I watched it before but not in Japanese so I am not sure if the translation are correct so I did not notice.

For some countries is wasn't a big deal, because it was mostly girls female characters, if it had been male characters, I bet the manga would not have been as successful as it was. In fact in the States some episodes of the manga got banned due to its content! I watched it, and loved it. It is one of my favorite anime, apart from Dragon Ball Z, and Pokemon!

@Babino I can't really remember the evil characters in season one of Sailor Mooon, but you're right in the anime there are some gay character ones. I hope you enjoy Pokemon, I am actually still watching it, though I am watching it in Spanish my mother tongue language.
