   That's awesome.  Starlight Knight and I are also currently doing a   
   rewatch of Sailor Moon since we've acquired all of the commercial DVD   
   releases.  We're not managing 200 episodes in 200 days, but we're   
   staying on track pretty well (often watching 2 or 3 episodes an evening   
   if we feel up to it).   
      
   It really surprised me just how much fun the show still is. I still find   
   myself laughing and loving it.  And this time around, it's been so long   
   since I've seen the dubs that I can give certain characters (Rei) a fair   
   shake.  This is SK's first time watching the first season in Japanese,   
   and it will be both of our first times seeing R in Japanese (plus, I   
   only saw a handful of the "newly dubbed episodes" when they first   
   aired), so we're both getting to see some new stuff we'd never seen   
   before.  And the series still stands the test of time.  Sure it's not my   
   favorite anime anymore (Revolutionary Girl Utena stole my heart), but it   
   still means a lot to me, and it's still tops on the 'nostalgia' list.
