Alright, time to bring a bit of controversy to this topic .
Saint Seiya is a way better series than Sailor Moon. - More emphasis on combat and World Building. - A better idea on how a character becomes so strong overtime during his trials as a warrior. - Warriors look way cooler (that also includes Transformation Sequences.) - Came out way before Sailor Moon (Saint Seiya made its debut in 1986 where as Sailor Moon came out in 1992) yet has such a strong fan following even to this day. While Saint Seiya doesn't has as strong a following in in North America, its an absolute classic overseas; So much so that singers have done covers of the opening of the series in many singing competitions: - The opening song is friggin Iconic! How many anime series got the friggin Struts to do a rendition of the iconic opening: The ball is in your court now Sailor Moon fans . |

Okay, I'm for the mood for some good Anime jush. I'd like to see one with gay romance. No hard yaoi, I don't mind sex scenes but I don't wanna watch those animes focused on porn with weird, slurpy sounds. The less cringe it is, the better.
Also, I'd like to see a relatively short anime that gets me hooked in and makes me eager to watch the next episode. Again, the less cringe it is, the better. Can you reccommend me any of those? |

Also, you need to be a bit more specific with your request. Do you want to watch an anime centered around action, horror and/or mystery with a Yaoi Romance in its background or do you want to watch a Slice of Life Romance Centric Yaoi Anime? |

I honestly don't mind the genre as long as it has a decent gay romance. I used to not like sport themed series until I watched Yuri On Ice, so now I can watch everything. |

- Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi: Seems like a pretty simple and straight forward Romance Anime with a Yaoi Twist. There will be a forced kiss here and there but I have been promised that it shouldn't go further than that. Fair Warning: My female friend is a Yaoi connoisseur so her version of "tame" might not be so tame for others . - Junjo Romantica: A different series done by the creator of Sekai Ichi Hatsuko. Again, simple straight forward Romance. Quote:

Like I said before, since Sailor Moon is a shojou anime, it was easier for it to bypass a lot of heavy censorship laws as compared to Saint Seiya (which IMO would have been an absolute hit in North America had it not been so neutered. There is a "shojou" influenced spinoff of the series that made its debut in 2018 called "Saint Seiya: Saintia Sho" but it was received very poorly; Mainly because it pretty much stomped on everything that made Saint Seiya a great show: Last edited by Catapharact; 13-07-20 at 05:16. |

It's not just the visuals that I really like in the SM transformations, the music is equally as great (gets me pumped every time). The "Moon Crystal Power", "Moon Cosmic Power", and the double "Moon Crisis" choreographies in particular are so in synch with the music, it's honestly genius, in my opinion. On an unrelated note, the "new" transformation sequence that will be used in the upcoming Sailor Moon Eternal is proof of how important the music is. The choreography as a whole is the same as the 90's one, but the music is so meh and out of place, that it doesn't give the same effect. |

It would be the same as saying Shin Seiki Evangelion is an inferior anime because it didn't approach setting and character the way Fushigi Yuugi did. |

Ladies and gentlemen... We did it... The absolute belief in Nerdism and a butt load of engineering has given rise to an actual life sized functioning Gundam.
