Sailor Moon Crystal #6

By Christina Ladd on

In the very few snippets of Sailor Moon I saw as a kid, I was immediately smitten with Tuxedo Mask, who back then was called Darien, since nobody thought you could put subbed anime on TV for kids.  Those were dark days.  But I digress.  “Darien” was mysterious, handsome, and overwhelming romantic.  Not only did …
