And for those that watch subtitled Japanese shows, you know that there comes a time in your marathon watching where you stop reading the subtitles and start thinking Japanese in your sleep. I've even seen the live action series in all Japanese. If I were to miss one episode, I would cry my little eyes out because I just had to know what happened next to Serena! I have seen every episode including the fifth season that didn't air in America. Reading Cinder reminded me of a simpler time before responsibilities, when the biggest thing I had to worry about was setting up the VCR (yes, a throwback!) every day because at 4pm, right before Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon would come on.
Sailor Moon was my all-time favorite TV show and manga as a child.
someone had answered my prayers! I don't think you can understand my excitement for that. But then shortly before I read it, another blogger informed me that not only is it a Cinderella retelling, but also had Sailor Moon elements. Marissa Meyer, my hat's off to you because a cyborg Cinderella in New Beijing, China? Badass. When I first heard of Cinder before it's release, it was gaining quite a bit of buzz known for the retelling of Cinderella. But all that doesn't really matter now because I've remedied the problem and absolutely fallen in love with this wonderful story. What a HUGE mistake! I even had the nerve to go into my local bookstore twice, pick Cinder up, and put it right back down. Why in the world did I procrastinate with reading it? I've had Cinder sitting on my Kindle for a few months now and I continued to put it off over and over again. Let me go ahead and get this out of the way.
