Nostalgia is a profoundly sad feeling

It's both happy and sad, and an inmesureable assortment of feelings in between.

This soundtrack is so hard to place, I like it yet it's not tuneful and very random, it is however nice at conveying an unusual atmosphere. Sailor Moon R on SNES gets https://youtu.be/2pwUX1_uGg4 however - I used to hate this game's ost based on playing as far as the first stage and finding it 'unsuiting' but as a melancholic interlude it's similar and just used for fighting through Christmas decorated Juuban.

Weird dreamlike osts thread?

That SM game has a great OST. I feel the composer captured the feel of the music from the anime series, and made original songs. It sounds fantastic with that Mega Drive sound.
>>9071173
I have yet to play the Super Nintendo beat 'em ups. I know the first one is basically similar to the Mega Drive game but with some changes. I assume different music too. I wanna play it and the sequel.
I loved that music, if that plays on a xmas stage, then yeah it's very fitting.
Anyway I like when there's a sort of gap between the music and what's happening on the screen. Like playing peaceful or whimsical music while heavy action is going on, it makes for a good contrast sometimes.
Music from the DBZ Butoden games come to mind, especially Super Butoden 2.

this one is a classic and yet it's only a piano piece, like a sort of classical toccata. It wouldn't seem like it'd fit a fighting game, yet it does, it's very tense yet at the same time beautiful and melancholic.
Then there's Zangya's theme

This one sounds like it'd fit an RPG, like music when you're exploring the woods or something. Yet I really love how comfy it is and gives battles a sort of lighthearted feel. it's funny playing Broly vs Bojack with Zangya's theme hehe.

After TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, I'm personally wishing that someone would make a new beat-em-up for Sailor Moon in the same style.

this game sucks because its only 1 player. whats the point of making a beat em up without multiplayer? lazy ass devs.

Yeah I know, bmups are more fun 2player and most of the time built around that, but I still like that game. I have fond memories of playing it with my friend, taking turns per life/level.

And in that moment I finally understood why ignorance is truly bliss.
Not to say I don't enjoy Sailor Moon still but it def carries a different meaning now for me that I understand what its about.

yeah on the surface it seems like a very girly show, then you watch it and realize it's very action-based with fights, sort of like Power Rangers, but with all hot chicks instead of just 1 or 2.

>>9073172
Man, I watched Utena the other year, then realised every fan/blogger/explorer of it seems to be transoid. I don't care, shit's good and while going against gender and sexual norms is a theme of the show, so is the extent love and status corrupts, and protecting what you hold dear in whatever fucked up dimension the academy exists in. Seeing as you can never leave (unless it's whatever the alternate universe the movie exists in and you can only leave IN STYLE) it's just a surreal universe that always feels somewhat oppressive. You can watch it with your gender intact, but you're still going gay for the buffet of manliness that is Akio, and riding in his car. Or just enjoying best girl Nanami.

I did turn gay, but lesbian. I'm honestly not certain why you'd assume that I'd suddenly realize I was actually attracted to men and women all along just because I'm trans
>>9073864
>>9073893
>>9074648
This, how does trans people enjoying things affect you at all? I was kidding anyway, it took like 5 years after first watching through Sailor Moon before I got gender dysphoria
Friendly reminder that anime isn't going to turn you trans, if you're trans you were always going to be trans. If you're not trans then you won't have any piece of media turn you trans. Simple as that.

It's unironically just you wanting to be a child again because that was when you were innocent and didn't have heavy things weighing on your mind. That's all nostalgia ever was.

But what if I already felt that nostalgic/melancholic feel back then when I was a kid while playing the sailor moon game? Was I remembering a past life?

Because any sort of anime from the glory days that has a same sex couple, or something goofy and silly like Ranma, has been hi-jacked by these people and they use it for their own demented purposes. Not saying either of you do, but it a lot of them do.

People recognizing trans allegory themes (intentional or otherwise) in media and appreciating it for that isn't "hijacking it for demented purposes"

>Sailor Moon is about teenage girls being unable to enjoy life because they're aware they're caught in a death loop and are destined to die in combat soon.
I'm a zoomer and have hardly any memories of Sailor Moon, but I had no idea the premise was that dark. How on the nose is the series about this stuff? The series is still ultimately a silly show about Japanese Barbies with superpowers hanging out and fighting generic evil, right?

[Anonymous No.9079231]

>>9079174
The show, yes. The original manga, far from it. The prequel manga Sailor V was more in line with the anime, but even that got dark near the end as it approached the inevitable moment where Minako swears her life to Usagi.

[Anonymous No.9079238]

>>9079174
For the most part yea, the girls do enjoy life but often times have to sacrifice themselves for the princess, like the entire first battle with queen Beryl is all the scouts killing themselves so Sailor Moon can get to her.
The entire galaxia scenario also has the scouts dying one by one till its just a massively grief wracked Usagi left.
