Mr Love: Queen’s Choice is the best kind of surprise – a show that you go into with low expectations based on its origins and title but ends up being good. While it's still most likely to appeal to fans of reverse harem series and josei (or shoujo) titles, it manages to rise above some of its more trope-laden brethren, giving its characters personalities that go a bit beyond the standards and a heroine who is no one's damsel in distress. It isn't perfect, but if you've been avoiding it based solely on the title, it's worth checking out.

Reverse harems can take on all kinds of flavors depending on the personalities of the guys making it up, but rarely is it as weird as poor Mizuki's. [...] It manages to combine the standard reverse harem with otaku comedy while leaving just enough space for us to wonder if the boys are really as delusional as they all appear to be, something that's very well used in the final episode of the main series. [...] Of course, it takes Mizuki most of the series to reach this understanding for herself, and most of the episodes are taken up with her trying to cope with the boys' antics and to understand what the Hero Club really does – and that she does, in fact, want to be a part of it. [...] Outburst Dreamer Boys is definitely one of those series that gets better as it goes on, and by the final three episodes, when the showdown with the cantankerous student council comes to a head, it's really hit its stride.

The Sailor Guardians each represent a planet and by association their personalities are strongly tied to their respective zodiac. Rei is a through-and-through Aries and Usagi is the very definition of a clingy Cancer. Their respective powers are also a blend of their sign's cardinal houses and related Greco-Roman myth. Mars' fire powers are related to the planet ruling the sign of Aries and its cardinal fire sign. Sagittarius is another fire sign but in that case that went with Jupiter's Roman mythology counterpart. I've got to give credit, Sailor Moon is probably what got me into astrology.
