"'Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight…'"
Our Pixelitis Podcast crew this weekend wasn’t ashamed to nostalgically look back at Sailor Moon, aka the perfect gateway anime series for prepubescent boys who hadn’t heard of Dragon Ball Z beforehand.
The crew was also not afraid to talk a ton about JRPGs, either. With a title like Tales of Xillia on the cusp of release, Earthbound announcements on the rise and Breath of Fire 6′s controversial announcement last week, you’d better believe that there was a lot worth talking about.
So sit back and be sure to hit the play button below and/or subscribe to us on iTunes. We’re on Stitcher Radio, too. If you don’t, then in the name of the moon, we will punish you!"

Today it was announced that the gaming and anime industry has lost another beloved artist and creator. Mutsumi Inomata has passed away.
The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.
We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.
Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(
I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”
IGN writes: Mother 3 is one of the most hotly-desired RPGs ever, having never received an official translation in North America despite the cult popularity of its predecessor, Earthbound. But over all these years, series creator Shigesato Itoi has never weighed in on the discussion - at least until now."
A translated version of this game on Switch Online would be nice, and it would add a lot value to the Expansion Pak service.
I would love to see an Earthbound game just redone with 3D-ish models and characters. Just having a remaster for Switch Online would be awesome!
Did you ever see the Earthbound 64 concept/materials? That actually looked really good, but I'd also take a HD-2D remake as well.
Nintendo seems very whimsical about what they give they're fans, sometimes they'll give them a bone (e.g. Mario RPG, Thousand Year Door for the Switch), and other times, they just give them little to nothing (agh, the Zelda anniversary).
When you consider the cost of gaming back then and even now, no excuses when costs are involved.
The long-awaited documentary, which highlights the online community that's built around cult SNES RPG EarthBound over the years. It's an examination of the power of online communities and fandom, and the impact that Shigesato Itoi's series has had on its fans.
Real men fap over it
Hell yeah!!! Nothing wrong with loving Sailor Moon! 5 gals (9 if you watch later in the series) with short skirts kicking @$$ what's not to love.
Can't believe the series is now 11 years old (10 for western syndication)....my i'm getting old.
FIGHTING EVIL BY MOONLIGHT!
I still watch the show on occasion. I own all but two episode in the entire series from the original all the way to Stars. No regrets. Sailormoon and Dragon Ball Z is what got me really into Anime. From there it was Gundam, Tenchi, Pokemon, Outlaw Star, Excel Saga, Orphen etc etc.
