sailormoon | Short link roundup of Mamoru being adorkable.

I was talking in another comm about how my appreciation for Mamoru has grown over the years. He used to come off as nothing more than a tall-dark-and-handsome cardboard cutout, kind of the male equivalent of the "love interest who doesn't get any development aside from being the Token Chick." After seeing a bunch of the later canon plus better translations of the early stuff, I came to understand (and love) how much he is secretly a ginormous dork.

Long story short, the conversation led to a linkspam, and I figured some folks here might enjoy it as well.

Anime:
~Mamoru is basically Chibusa's transportation.
Skaters gonna skate.
~Boring people do not walk into battle dressed like Santa.
~When you're the only fighter in the team without a proper transformation, you gotta enjoy yourself.
~Caught in the bath. Whoops?

Musicals:
~King of the Earth, in a frilly pink apron, makin' dinner.

And a few fancomics to drive home the point (sorry about the icky Tumblr formatting):
~A proper superhero naming scheme.
~Lil' Mamoru dresses up as Batman.
~Thinking on his feet.
