| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Girls that young don't need to diet. :< |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I almost wanted to say that 'I don't remember this episode'. Then I rewatched it and realized that I have, but hated it. Usagi is not even close to being fat! There was no difference between them being 'normal' and 'thinner'. This episode is a joke and not good for young girls to be watching. The reason I couldn't remember this at first is because I had blocked it from my mind. And I'm going to do just that again. |
 |
| Aren't you being a bit harsh on this episode? It's not like it was encouraging girls to be aneorexic or anything, it seemed a bit of the opposite really, with the evil guys being the ones to make fun of them for being fat and her crush telling her that he liked chubbier girls. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| lol what a pathetic episode. On the good side, the bad guys got some powers so it wasn't that bad of an episode |
 |
| Well, at least there were no inexplicably random appearances by Tuxedo Mask. On a side note: Seabury said: Aren't you being a bit harsh on this episode?

This. Still, this show is very far from good anyway. I find Usagi to be fairly entertaining but other than that? Well, we'll see how it goes from here. |

| Usagi can almost have an hourglass shape though! I wish Haruna didn't have to suffer though... |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I thought it was pretty funny. |
| This reminds me I need to go back on my diet starting the new year, uguuu :c |
 |
| This episode is definitely problematic. Usagi is 14 years old! Usagi was not fat at all at any time in this episode, and even if she was, what would be so bad about that? I thought she would learn something, but no, at the very end of the episode she was worrying about her weight again ... |
| Inevitably, the teacher is once again the first one to fall for the bad guys' ploy. It's not like Haruna-sensei is bad looking either, even with early 1990's animation. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| literally the only good part of this episode was tuxedo mask's sick burn. "dumpling head eating dumplings"! good job, guy, way to get a dig in at a 14 year old kid. keep on keepin on, my dude jokes aside, this is the episode that made my mom decide she didn't want 6-year-old me watching this show -- and honestly i can't blame her? although i would've really liked to have grown up with this anime, i'm glad i'm only really watching it for the first time now, when i'm old enough and aware enough to not digest but dissect harmful messages like the ones in this episode. |
HiNT74 said: Come on guys, the episode was perfectly normal for a Japanese show. This sort of thing is why Japanese people are thin! I know, but doesn't that make it even more upsetting? Ok, japanese people may have naturally more slender body frame, but it must be horrible to live as overweight in Japan :I I mean that in most of shoujo series there are chapters where about 145cm/35kg girls are dieting and crying how fat they are, and they show that young girls dieting is good and admirable. It made me kind of hysteric when I was like 11-12 years old and about 150cm/50kg. |

| I don't think the way they presented weight problems is bad. Seabury said: True this :) But it is important to stay healthy, and when a naturally thinner person suddenly gets significantly thicker, that means the person's probably not healthy at that moment.Aren't you being a bit harsh on this episode? It's not like it was encouraging girls to be anorexic or anything, it seemed a bit of the opposite really, with the evil guys being the ones to make fun of them for being fat and her crush telling her that he liked chubbier girls. |

| I liked this ep even more than previous ones. It's not making things up about dieting, but refers to actual unhealthy concern most girls have with being overweigh! And what even the adults are willing to try to become slim, even while not having a real overweight problem. Being overconcerned and misguided about what being fit is can lead to harm. This ep handles this subject nicely and even speaks of it as plainly as it could be aside of being literal. Still, someone would misunderstand, but it's not a show's fault. More so, that thing about fitness is purely American in origin - dieting and fitness has grown into a huge bussiness in 70s-90s, unconcerned with actual health but with profits, and so the media in US (and wherever this bussiness would export) was serving that industry, projecting an image of "slim beauty" as a standart for women anywhere, so more demand would be created for diets and fitness club memberships, but actual healthy ways of being fit would drown in this commercial noise, alas... "Nothing costs more, than what is free." - Jadeite "That guy"'s getting at Usagi is hilarious. He makes fun of her, but isn't actualy agressive. More like a big brother who cares, but doesn't want to lecture (and we all know that doesn't work anyway). And I think that's one of the lessons of this show - that not everyone who is "mean" to you is being bad, and not everyone who tells you what you like to hear is good (like trainers in this ep). |

Hell is empty and all the devils are here. |
| I can see why this episode might rub one the wrong way, but I didn't think it was that bad... I actually found it to be quite funny! And at least half of the message was right, exercise is good, even if you shouldn't diet at a young age. |
| What being young does, she wasn't even close to be fat lmao. Everyone bullies Usagi so much and I feel evil laughing as hard as I do. |
 |
| hahaha, Mamorus remarks at Usagi are always hilarious. |
 |
| That's right, curvy doesn't mean fat. What this episode did wrong is they took skinny characters and made them seek an even skinnier figure. But hey, it happens in real life. Although, I think a lot of people seem to think they treated Usagi as if she was fat but it was more teasing about become fat in the future if she kept her bad habits. |
| I just watched this episode eating lots of sweets :D |
| Luna's slam-dunking on Usagi with that pic and later teaching her who the boss is. Sunglasses (who I'm guessing is Tuxedo Mask) was brutal. Teacher be falling for all the scams. Another great episode. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| This episode alone is definitely enough to drop the whole series. |
 why am i plagued with furry jokes everywhere I go |
| I feel personally attacked by this episode... This is a sensitive topic for me as a female ;( My mouse automatically went to rate this a 5/5, I'm so annoyed now because this deserves a 2 T^T |
| Jadeite: There come the idiots Facts xD And people need to chill. That's how girls are and characters in this episode even acknowledged that having a bit meat isn't bad. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| tuxedo mask didnt come:( |
| water |
| Hate it when my cat encourages me to have an eating disorder. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| It's easy to forget how dark this show can get. I mean jesus Jadeite, I get you need energy that's the reason your on earth anyway but having Usagi's teacher drowned of her skin until she's withered away? God that's dark! For the record I don't think Usagi's fat in anyway. She's fine as she is. |
| This episode was definitely dark (but funny), you are already a slim/healthy figure and you unnaturally lose weight to the point where you are skin and bones and still you want to lose more?! I know Haruna is a comedy relief at the moment but this was just crazy and sad. As long as you aren't fat, there's nothing wrong with a bit of weight like Motoki said, chubby girls are cuter after all imo. |
 |
| This episode is a bit iffy. Usagi is so skinny yet everyone was treating her like she is very fat. Not a very good message for young girls or anyone even, but I guess in the 90s this was unfortunately quite normal. |
 |
taflnder said: I thought the same thing. This show is intended for teens. Dieting is a very sensitive topic and I don't encourage it at all, because it usually leads to unhealthy behaviour. It's way better to eat if you feel hungry and exercise regularly. I feel bad for teens who grew up watching this series instead of Cardcaptor Sakura or Digimon, imo much better series until now.This episode is a bit iffy. Usagi is so skinny yet everyone was treating her like she is very fat. Not a very good message for young girls or anyone even, but I guess in the 90s this was unfortunately quite normal. |
 |
| I think you all are being way too sensitive about this ep. Like, the fact that she is already thin yet wants to loose weight is played as comedic and the show is self-aware of how ridiculus this actually is... |

| no tuxedo mask in this episode, a very sad thing. |
