Issue 2 - "How Does Mamoru Keep Warm?"


Mamoru Says: How do I keep warm? Flames! Yes, glorious flames! They make me so warm and toasty and that's how Ganymede likes me... uhm, ANYway. :P

Recently, Gannie-chan was sent a flame at his guestbook survey about his Shrine to me, a flame which was cleverly disguised as a slightly condescending note that claimed to be written out of pure charity. I read the note as well as Ganymede's reply, and I must say that I'm with Ganymede on this one, even though he and I rarely agree. Anyway, read on:

I really appreciate GOOD Mamo pages... but... yours has some little problems. I wish to send this as a private one due it contains some words that you wouldnt like to be shown as public: 1.) You MUST talk about ANIME, or MANGA, but not mix them both. 2.)Zoicite in the anime was always female, but not in the MANGA and none where atracted to Prince Endymion. 3.)Fish Eye WAS a female always and NEVER attacked Mamo in the Manga. 4.)You MIX up many things. You must only talk about Mamoru ONLY, or Darien ONLY, but not call him Mamo once, and then Darien 5.)You MIX a lot of information. Try talking about one only! As a Lunar Inquisitor, I wish to make clear the points that relay on making SM homepages great by its information. I have been thru this with my Mamo Shrine, and it was satisfactory to see that I HAD correct information at last, due I made almost the same mistakes as you do. I hope you take this as you should, and not like a "prep". If you have any questions, mail me.

Mamoru Says: Hm... before I show you Ganymede's reply to this message, I just want to say that Ganymede MADE me put this flame up here, at this page. This Aenslaed person made this a private guestbook message because "it contains some words that you wouldnt like to be shown as public" but Ganymede likes making these things public, cause he told me if you have a bone to pick with him you better be able to stand up for your words in front of others. Whatever, I think he's nuts. ^_^ I know he's gonna beat me *heh* for saying that, but I still think he's nuts. :P

now, here is Gannie-chan's reply:

Hi there! :)

Thank you for visiting my Tuxedo Kamen Shrine. Below I respond to the points you addressed in my guestbook:

<<1.) You MUST talk about ANIME, or MANGA, but not mix them both.>>

This is something I am already working on. If you visit my Sailor Neptune Shrine, you will note that in my profile for Michiru I make distinctions between manga Michiru and anime Michiru. I have not gotten around to this yet for my Tuxedo Kamen Shrine because my offline life does take up a lot of time; however, I do plan to have three different profiles, one for anime Mamoru, one for manga Mamoru, and one for Darien (the English dub Mamoru). So your worries in that area should be assuaged, since I have been working on it already. The reason you have not seen the three different profiles yet is because I do not make changes to my Shrine or add new pages until they are COMPLETELY finished.

<<2.)Zoicite in the anime was always female, but not in the MANGA and none where atracted to Prince Endymion.>>

First of all, the correct Japanese spelling is Zoisite or perhaps Zoisaito, not Zoicite. Secondly, you are wrong. Zoisite is NOT female in the original Japanese anime. Zoisite is only female in the DiC (English) version of the anime. If you visit ANY well-made Dark Kingdom shrine or Zoisite Shrine, you can find sound clips and .avi files from the ORIGINAL Japanese anime, and you will see that it is quite clear that Zoisite is male in the anime as well as the manga.

Also, I never said that any of the four generals were attracted (or as you put it, "where atracted") to Prince Endymion. All I said was that in the manga, the relationship seems rather ambiguous or "slashable." I never said they were attracted to Endymion. Do NOT put words in my mouth like that, or I will not take what you have to say seriously. :)

<<3.)Fish Eye WAS a female always and NEVER attacked Mamo in the Manga.>>

Actually, Fish Eye was NEVER a female, either in the manga or in the anime - though he does masquerade as a female in order to flirt with Mamoru in the anime. The Amazon Trio, one of whom is Fish Eye, are ALL MALE in both the anime and manga - it is the Amazoness Quartet who are female, not the Amazon Trio. I have seen a picture of Fish Eye from the anime where he is shirtless: he is OBVIOUSLY a male, albeit a very effeminate one. Check out the Amazon Trio Shrine if you don't believe me; if I remember correctly, there is a link for the Amazon Trio Shrine on the Shrine Links section of the Sailor Moon Nexus (the URL for the Nexus is http://www.argo.net/~gregclem/nexus.htm). You can also find good Dark Kingdom shrines and maybe some Zoisite shrines at the Nexus.

<<4.)You MIX up many things. You must only talk about Mamoru ONLY, or Darien ONLY, but not call him Mamo once, and then Darien>>

I state quite clearly in my Mamoru profile that his name is Chiba Mamoru in the manga and the original anime, that his name is Darien in the DiC dub, and that his name is Darien Shields in the Mixxzine English Sailormoon manga. Thus, any Sailormoon fan who reads my Mamoru profile should not be confused if I happen to label - for instance - one of my manga pictures as "Mamoru kisses Usagi" and one of my anime picture as "Darien meets Serena." More importantly, do not accuse me of "mixing up many things" when YOU are the person who makes appallingly inaccurate claims about Zoisite and Fish Eye's genders in their various incarnations, manga and otherwise. :)

<<As a Lunar Inquisitor, I wish to make clear the points that relay on making SM homepages great by its information.>>

I have no idea who these Lunar Inquisitors are, but if they are as inaccurate as you have been, I wouldn't take them seriously. :)

<<I hope you take this as you should, and not like a "prep">>

Okay, let's see now... The one good suggestion you gave me is something I have already been working on, on my own. On top of that, you have a high enough opinion of yourself to tell me how my site should be run when you can't even spell "Zoisite" or "were attracted" properly, and then you accuse me of "mixing up information" when you have just proven to me that you obviously have done no research on either Zoisite or Fish Eye. Forgive me, but how am I supposed to "take it," as you say? ^_^

take care of yourself,

James (Ganymede)

Hey there, Mamoru again. :P Since sending his reply, Gannie-chan has received apologies from the Aramis person as well as the Lunar Inquisitors, who stated that they were highly embarrassed that one of their members spread MISinformation. Ganymede has accepted both apologies. However, the apology from Aramis was kinda odd... Apparently, he thought this website was hosted at Geocities. Strange boy. ^_^
