'Mouth came crashing down on mine'...okay, that--once again--sounds really damn painful. WTC, why are kisses in Suefics always so violent? And why do they always describe...whatever that was as 'torture'? Are you trying to scare the inexperienced ones?

There is more than one fiction to the entire story though, so I can understand why so many things seemed confusing to you (including why she's able to use others' abilities...which were not aquired by just watching TV as other fictions will explain).
While the Japanese was introduced by anime, I've been taking multiple classes of it for years, making the language a part of me, unlike your typical anime otaku.
And I would explain other things, but that would be wasting my time. I have a Japanese exam to take tomorrow and need to finish studying. Plus, I can't really do anything about this, so go ahead and have your fun making me and people like me look like shit.
But I find it amazing...how you spend so much time putting people down like this while you could be doing something more productive with your life.
And I'm sorry you find the senshi I've held dear to me for 9 years such a "Sue".

Funny. I always thought one of the quintessential signs of otaku-ness was awkwardly inserting Japanese phrases where they don't belong. I can't imagine someone being so pathetically obsessed with a foreign culture that their knee-jerk reaction to pain is to say "ouch" in that language.
If that's not an otaku, then I shudder to think what is.
I also have to wonder what is up with the blatant Catholicism. Maybe I missed some sort of secret episode where Usagi hands out Chick Tracts (Okay, I know he's anti-Catholic, but work with me people) but I'm going to assume I did not and that this is just silly.
I always thought literary criticism was, you know, productive. People learn through mistakes, be they their own mistakes or the mistakes of others. By pointing out your mistakes these people are helping other people avoid them.

What...are you going to go up to all Japanese speakers now and call them otakus? Did you know that the Japanese "awkwardly insert" English words into their phrases? It happens everywhere. And, yeah, I do it naturally. So if I'm going to put myself in a fiction, why act different? Most serious otakus don't even bother learning about the Japanese culture and language.
Catholicism...I'm going to take a guess an figure you're talking about the crosses and refrences to God. I don't know what you think Usagi has to do with it. She certainly isn't my influence. That all has to with how Sailor Universe originated in the first place. She's modeled after my guardian angel. Her story's actually a lot deeper than you'd think (some of which can be found here: the site and here: the prologueMy mistakes? It's something I wanted to write, not a mistake, because ( ... )

Writing about anime characters as your friend and getting married to Link and being an overpowered princess CHOSEN BY GOD is something a nine year old would do- a psychotic nine year old. Your art is good and all, but you really can't write worth crap if all you like to do is wish fulfillment.
