00:00Did you know that Sailor Moon was much more queer in the Japanese version?
00:04It's Pride Month, so we're going to talk about the representation of the LGBTQIA+ community.
00:08in movies and TV series, and now in anime.
00:10Sailor Moon arrived in our country in the 90s.
00:13And there are many things that change.
00:15Some characters are completely changed.
00:17And the most well-known case is Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune.
00:21In the original Japanese version, the two characters are clearly a couple.
00:25But in several Western versions, the dubbing tried to hide that.
00:28The chosen solution has become almost absurd.
00:31The characters have sometimes been presented as cousins.
00:34The problem is that their relationship remains extremely romantic on screen.
00:39The Sailor Moon anime already contained queer characters and gender bending.
00:43androgynous characters, at a time when very few cartoons did that.
00:47And even today, many fans consider Sailor Moon
00:50as one of the most important anime for LGBTQIA+ representation.
